Last time we saw 2 weapons of the enemy in the Proverb 1:32, are WAYWARDNESS & COMPLACENCY the enemy is using to steal from God, yet we also saw
2 ways out of them in these verses:
“So, in Christ, our sins have been forgiven and there is no condemnation”.
And but whoever listens to Me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:33
I want to open with a testimony that will give you an opportunity to regain that very thing Jesus paid the ultimate price for of Life and Life in abundance.
In June 2022 I went through a sickness that took me to a place I would never have known and prayer no one has to ever go. Including constant 24/7 pain due to a falling down some stairs, no sleep, pretty well not much life in me ! I got to a point Elijah did and said “Lord You either heal me or take me “ doctors, counsellors, pastors I reached out to had no answers! My wife even threatened to leave me (I don’t blame her as I wasn’t good mentally either ) I would only get relief through listening to worship! I had this thought in my spirit if I could only find a prophet like me I am sure I could get an answer.
And one day my wife and I had an opportunity to sit witha remarkable prophetess for lunch. During lunch she stopped and said Craig I feel something stirring in the spirit and there is someone you know praying against you!
That night I went home with a word and next day we prayed for that person who was praying against me would be incredibly blessed in every area of their life. That the Lord would release His bless upon them that it could not be contain. That night I had a peace in my spirit for the first time in 4 months, the next morning my sight was restored, on driving home I saw a thin white cloud in the sky, which I believed was sign from heaven. The next day I was talking to my physio I told him I was able to move better due to an encounter with the Lord,
When I got to my physio he asked me to share the encounter story/testimony and He looked at me strangely and said lets test your movement at this point he started laughing saying he had never seen a person gain so much so fast! That at this rate I would expect you will be back to normal strength in 3-4 weeks.
The following week I was speaking in Pukekohe and at the end of the meeting saw Jesus walk through the room one lady was instantly healed, and never thought about myself and when I went to the physio the next day he said I cannot believe it I thought 3-4 weeks for strength to comeback but it has happen to you in one week.
Since then the Lord through His grace, instruction and direction has opened up for my wife and myself aseason of planting and reviving multiple ministries in Whangarei, Dargaville, Waipu, Warkworth, Silverdale and Auckland. With many more planned, in different areas, throughout the rest of this year a head.
Our Passion is to equip and release the saints, into their chosen areas and fields, that God is calling them into in ministry.
In looking back and pointing to the two major reasons Iended up in the place of vulnerability to the enemy allowing him to take me down from the prayer of anindividual. Both waywardness and complacencywould be top of the list, yes they almost killed and destroyed not only me, but my marriage and ministry.
If you’re in a season of pain, bewilderment, hurt orconfusion I declare as it says in Revelation 19:10 (the testimonies of Jesus are the spirit of Prophecy that what I have seen in my life over the last 4 months with be the same in for you. I declare victory, dreams revealed, ignited and breath restored into them.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (TPT)
The Way of Escape
“We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously”.
I declare you will be an overcomer and will be put in the race with everything you need through Him to complete all the plans and purposes He has said you will do. Thank you Jesus AMEN
Here is your prayer for breakthrough, pray it along with me.
Father I choose today to lay down those snares of my life that have become waywardness and confusion that I have allowed complacency to cover those dreams, promises and plans You have given.
Today Lord I ask that You will Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts. … Create pure thoughts in me and make mefaithful again as Psalms 51:10 says, to replace waywardness with FAITH.
Lord renew my mind (Romans 12:2) and heart so complacency will leave me!
Teach me Your way, LORD, that I may rely on Your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name (Psalm 86:11)
In Jesus name amen
Father for those who prayed that prayer that You will reinstate renew, restore and release them into an even greater level of anointing and release a greater weight of Your glory in them!
I ask this in Your precious name Jesus Christ Amen.
