Time to Shift our Focus
The LORD showed me during prayer there is currently an extremely dry and oppressive desert like wind of discouragement and disappointment unleashed against believers from the evil one.
This hot wind in this spirit will make you weary and leave you depleted off any energy. The devil is using this to shipwreck the faith of many by getting them to continue to dwell on the elections and recent events.
As Albert Einstein once said “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
It’s time to move on and get our focus back on God.
You are not going to solve any problem by continuing to think about events that transpired. Instead as written in Matthew 6:33 — “Seek first the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”
So the solution and breakthrough that you are looking for is only going to come when you shift your focus back on the Kingdom and get back on track with your first love; your relationship with your Maker.
As Apostle Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:3 — “I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”
Nothing and no one should be allowed to come in between our devotion and relationship with God.
The predicament and mental state many Christians are in currently is one of confusion and disillusionment.
They were hoping for something in December, then in January and now still waiting for other man made timeline.
But you are setting up yourselves for disappointment when you put expectations on how God works. Learn to let go and let God.
The current events are very similar to the narrative we see with the disciples of Christ surrounding His crucifixion. The disciples were devastated when things didn’t work out the way they thought it would with Jesus.
They thought the Messiah was going to overthrow the Roman government with military power and then HE will reign over Israel. They were expecting a physical miracle and manifestation in the natural realm.
But little did they know at that time, God’s Plans are higher than their plans and His ways higher than theirs.
It is very sad that even after 2000 years we are looking for physical revolutions and cataclysmic events when Christ has clearly revealed that the new covenant is going to be marked with spiritual revolution.
It’s going to be hidden many at times from the carnal eyes, but continually occurring in the spiritual realm as hearts are transformed and nations changed.
It’s now time for us to reset, learn the lessons from the previous battle and get back to our sweet communion and relationship with our Maker.
It’s not the end of the world. But if you continue in the current wilderness mindset, you won’t make it far and it will shipwreck you faith.
Let’s run to the springs of life in Christ, the oasis of HIS presence where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forever more.
Blessings!

You do know that Jesus resurrected from the dead even tho the disciples thought it was over when He was crucified and decided to ‘move on’. Peter went back to fishing but caught nothing the entire time until when Jesus resurrected and found him at the sea of Galilee and assured him & the entire group of disciples that the movement He had started in them & with them had not ended with His death but it was actually going into a new phase from merely Judea to the ends of the world. You may choose to move on and go back to ur usual’fishing’ but u of all people shud know that God is not a man that He shud lie nor son of man to change His mind and that He always have a remnant who will continue to contend for His purpose to be established in the earth. As the bible says in 1 Kings 19, God had determined to remove Ahab & Jezebel and even tho Elijah ran away coz of the conniving and threats of Jezebel, God met him in the dessert and told him to go back and finish the work He had assigned him.

Sorry you have misunderstood the message. Seek first God and maintain your connection with Him. I understand the gravity of the situation going on in the nation and confident that God will intervene in His time in His terms and not on man’s narrative. Fix your eyes back on Jesus because HE alone can save.
