Daily Strategies for Living Free

While in prayer, Jesus revealed to me a strategy that the enemy has been using to enslave God’s children at this time. I saw spiderwebs. Hundreds of them like you sometimes see on clear days drifting in the sky (google informs me it is called spider ballooning). So thin and fine. So weightless and seemingly powerless. However I saw that the strategy of the enemy was to use that which seemed small and insignificant to go under the radar. These thin wisps of spider web represented very small occurrences. Little offenses. Little lies. Unforgiveness for little things. Small acts of unrighteousness.

 The only reason this strategy had any power was that God’s people were too busy, stressed or overworked to notice the small webs. One small web on its own could not do too much but as the number of small webs increased, it began to entangle people. I saw multiple small webs targeting people daily in an attempt to quickly enslave them and I saw a consistency of webs day after day, trying to find a victim.

Jesus revealed to me a few small webs that had come my way during the week and I was amazed at how small they were and yet how I had let them remain on me till this time. I was also amazed at the number of small instances that had occurred and how they had a negative impact on me.

The only reason I am sharing this is because Jesus only reveals the enemy’s strategy so that we can overcome with a greater and victorious strategy.  And this is our calling. This is our inheritance. And these are just 3 of many strategies that Jesus gave me.

1) Jesus said that the webs are easily discerned when we are present or still.

2) Jesus also told me that the webs easily disintegrate in the refining fire.

3) Jesus reminded me that the webs can also be washed off in the River.

The key is to make room for these activities daily.

When we are present and still, it is easy to see, feel or discern a web that has attached itself to us during the day. This is a KEY strategy for God’s children at this time. It is time to live present and increasingly aware in every moment. When we are present in love and light, discerning darkness or fear is much more obvious. We can easily remove the web ourselves when we see it.

When we invite Christ’s refining fire to purify us, it will reveal all impure thoughts and motives which can easily be dealt with. Again, this is simple and easy to do but it just takes time and intent. The more we embrace the refining fire, the greater the awareness of the state of our own heart.

We are blessed to be able to come and wash in the River of Life anytime we choose. We are blessed to have full access to this place of such purity, cleansing and fun. The webs easily wash off in this heavenly place and not only that, but there are many more beautiful things to receive in exchange.

So my prayer is that we have an awareness of Christ’s nearness in every moment of our days. I pray that we will not give the enemy a foothold, small or large. I pray that we would embrace the refining fire in both the Word and prayer. I pray that we would become more familiar with the River of Life and our inheritance in heavenly places.

I bless you this day with an awakening to Christ in YOU.

Much Love,
