Let Nothing Steal Your Focus!

One Word — Jabbok!
Jabbok was the place where Jacob wrestled with The LORD and made his total surrender!
Jabbok means a place of passing over, it also stands for struggle, to empty and pour out.
You come to your Red Sea moment in life and can cross with the redeemed out of your spiritual Egypt.
You come to the Jordan moment in your life and you can cross with the victorious army of The LORD around you, but when you come to that Jabbok moment in your life, you cross it alone! It is between you and The LORD only!
When you come to the end of yourself, you come to Jabbok! Jacob came to that place with Esau trailing behind him and The LORD himself in front of him.
He had come to the end of the line. He was forced to expose himself before God and the battle waged all night, but Jacob did not give up till God blessed him. He wanted deliverance and refused to let go!
One desperate night of facing the truth, one night of struggle not only with God but himself brought forth that profound change in Jacob.
He had it out with The LORD and prevailed! God also heard his plea and touched him, and he also purposely weakened him by putting his thigh out of joint.
The LORD will cripple our human efforts to make us totally dependent on him!
You may hobble away crippled and crying out, but when you do cry out, it will sound something like this,
“LORD, I have laid it all down, I completely surrender! I cannot keep in victory without your help. You have brought me to this place. For I have seen your face and you have swiftly delivered me.”
Are you in that spiritual place Jabbok in prevailing prayer?
You are crying out, “LORD, I will not give upon this till you move! If it takes all night, I am staying here till you bless me!”
If you are, remember this! Through your brokenness will come your blessing! Jacob had to use a crutch for the rest of his life. He had to have that staff to lean on!
He realized he was stronger leaning than he was standing!
Let Nothing Steal Your Focus!
One day everything of this world will burn, but may your intimacy with the Lover of your Soul burn with greater intensity.
Forget all these distractions as they to sway you for The LORD is calling you to an even deeper intimacy right now.
As part of this Redeemed and Beautiful Bride, devote yourself wholly to our Beloved Bridegroom!
Let nothing else try to steal your focus and gaze. Keep those altars burning fervently! Let your eyes always be upon him! He is jealous for you!
For if The LORD came this very night, would you be in that glorious procession I can see marching through the Holy corridor of Heaven to meet your King or would you stand before a jealous and jilted Lover of your Soul.
Keep your eyes fixed upon the eyes that burn with such love for you. Your heart completely entwined with His!
Oh how He loves us! He loves like a hurricane and we are those trees bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.
LORD, Your Will Be Done!
Do you hear the people sing?
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is a music of a people who are climbing to the light …
They will live again in freedom in the garden of The LORD.
They will walk behind the plough-share, they will put away the sword. The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward.
This was a part of a song that i came across this morning, a song that touches that place inside of us that longs for Heaven and earth to meet.
“LORD, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven,”
You may wonder how can you possibly live Kingdom-minded sometimes on such fragile soil.
As children of the light, you and I are meant to shine so brightly that darkness is pushed back, even a tiny bit. When we do that, Heaven kisses earth.
As we serve diligently in the place God has set us, we are his Freedom Fighters.
We plant seeds of hope with each action, interaction, and reaction. The demonic principalities and cohorts of the enemy have since assigned themselves peoples, nations, homes and institutions.
They have been released to execute the affairs of Satan. However, you are called to take these territories and set the captives free in all the areas under control of the devil.
When Satanic forces are overpowered and bound, the territory becomes under the jurisdiction of Christ.
Christ’s dominion is then established and the blessings are realized as souls prosper, because the controlling strong man has no further assignment.
Your calling is to advance in the name of Jesus and bruise the heads of the Goliath’s that try to block the way.
Just like David went for the big man, the strongest of all. We, as God’s army, are following in David’s foot steps to clear the land and to dominate.
You, are called to push back all darkness and make gains for God’s soul agenda.
The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot extinguish it!
