2022 marks a year of change. It will most certainly bring with it all sorts of challenges and surprises, and even some staggering shocks.
You can go blindly along with everyone else and just wait for things to happen, hope things will get better, or sit there waiting for a 'door' to open for you. However, there is nothing guaranteed or certain in any of these options.
If you want something to change, then you must implement that change by getting up and doing something about it.
If you want to stay in things that are not real or true, or sit with those who hide within lies and trickery, then stay there. If you know things are not right, but choose to continue just the same through this month of 2022 just as you are, then you will end up paying the price for your procrastination.
No one is going to change things for you. You, and only you, must get up, get out of your pyjamas, and put on the uniform of a soldier, even perhaps that of a Major-General, and break apart the things that hinder or seek to control your life and limit your personal freedom. It is time to begin making decisions for yourself instead of being barked at by the voice of someone who may profess to be very important, but is just a poodle wanting to be a lion.
You were called to freedom, for where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Anything that infringes on this, or stands against it, is an enemy of your soul. The devil comes always and only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy all the good things that God has purposed for your life.
Who knows what might be up the road if you would just dare to step out?
I don't care if that opposition comes from those who claim to be holy and righteous, and declare themselves God's ambassadors. They may be standing between you and the call of God on your life. They are the opposition that seeks to control and manipulate you according to their wishes and selfish plans. If you dare to walk away and be free, they may will become your antagonists, fight against you, and bad-name you in front of everyone.
But if you are brave enough to choose God's way instead on man's plans, then you can march right on into victory, and soon, and very soon, those who came against you shall perish and be forgotten.
They shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail or overcome you, for God Almighty is with you.
And remember, that the first line of attack and defiance always, but always, comes from those claim to know God and know better than you. A man's enemies are always those close to him, even from his own house at times, or the people he associates mostly with.
So, it is absolutely your choice. This year could be a year of freedom, victory, success and blessing, or it will just continue into the fog of deception, lies, and going round in circles, until eventually you may wake up and see the truth.
The truth is revealed when you act upon it. Faith only manifests the promise when you actually do something. To sit their commiserating with yourself and others is but foolish folly. It will change nothing and leave you just where you have been all last year.
The door will not open until you push it or turn the handle. It is not locked, but sitting there, waiting for it to miraculously happen, is stupidity when you have the strength and power to get up and turn the handle. To break off all that is actually hindering you, even those who claim to be friends and promise many things, is to find the real path back to God's will for your life.
2022 is the year (and we already racing right into it at full pelt) to make things happen.
This is the year to break off everything that offends God and keeps you back from running his race. Forget about everyone else's projects and business, and get to do what God has planned for you. It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to put your strength, hope, energy and time, into the adventure that God has in store, rather than to put your expectation in family, businessmen, or church leaders, even if they do claim to know more than you and use the name of Jesus all the time to qualify what they say.
The Lord knows them that are his; and let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. If the light that they claim to have is actually darkness, then ask yourself, 'How great is that darkness?'
Am I speaking to somebody today?
I write, because I was told to write the truth and put it into books. It was a prophetic word given to me many years ago at the end of a conference in London. I laughed to myself at the time it was spoken, but since then I have learned to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying, and am not afraid to tell it like it is.
Better to obey, than to carry on in the falsehood of those who claim to know better than God himself.
