I strongly agree with Joel Osteen, “What has come up against us hasn’t been random. These are strategic attacks for one reason, because of what’s in us: God’s purpose, destiny, and greatness. If we stay in faith and keep moving forward—not bitter because of what happened, not upset because of what we didn’t get, not discouraged by the bad break—we will step into what the enemy didn’t want us to see: levels of favor, influence, promise, and opportunity that we’ve never dreamed. God is taking us where we can’t go on our own.” Beloved, there is a sovereign move of His Spirit upon us that is bringing unprecedented restoration. The Lord is putting a stop to what has been continually coming against us by giving us the strategies to know how to overcome. 1 Peter 5:10-11 reminds us, “And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up. And He has all the power needed to do this – forever! Amen.” Whether we believe it or not; the power of God is strengthening us and fortifying us. This major breakthrough of encounter with His power is going to bring such a tremendous shift into our lives and the next time the enemy comes against us to whisper his lies, to cause fear, to cause oppression, and to whisper false predictions, decrees, and deceit, it won’t even phase us because of the reigning power of God that lives in us!
