FLAMING TARGETS
One
night as I was at a church conference the Lord brought my attention to
the worshipers. Many of them were dancing with abandon, rejoicing
exuberantly and others were worshiping passionately with multicolored
flags. They were all continuously moving as they glorified Jesus under
an extraordinary anointing. As I observed them, The Lord showed me a
picture of a shooting gallery with moving targets. The faster the
targets moved, the more challenging it was for the shooter to hit them.
The Holy Spirit said, "A moving target is more difficult to aim at than a sitting duck".
A sitting duck is something that is unprotected and vulnerable to easy
attacks. As long as you keep on moving with God, you may get hit but the
enemy can not take you out. Then I saw the targets aflame.
The
Lord says; I am causing you to become flaming targets that are ablaze
with My glory. As you continue to persevere and press in through
difficult times, you will soon recognize the strategies of the enemy.
Allow the difficult situations to catapult you ahead, rather than
letting discouragement overtake you, and as you do you will become
flaming targets quenching the firey darts of the enemy. You will have
the wisdom from heaven to overcome every assignment that is sent against
you. Don't allow anything to pull you back and don't procrastinate any
longer. Be strengthened by My word dwelling in you richly and the light
of My word searching your innermost being. You will not go out in your
own strength, but you will go in the anointing and authority that the I
have placed on your life. Be willing to burn your bridges behind you and
forget the mistakes of your past.
Run
with the truth so that the adverse situation's that arise will bring
endurance rather than lethargy. I will teach your hands to war and your
fingers for battle. I will train you how to adjust in difficult
situations and show you how to use the stumbling blocks as stepping
stones. I will show you how to use every trial to take you to a higher
level. As you continue to move with Me, I will release you into a
greater glory. Allow Me to rekindle the fire in your life once again.
Don't allow the enemy to gain ground, and don't become a sitting duck to
be hit. As you continue to run with the vision, the enemy will not
have a foothold. Don't do anything foolishly that will make you an easy
target for the betrayer. Those who know My word are not vulnerable to
the adversary because they know who they are in Me. I am calling you
back to gain the spiritual momentum that you once had, and I will meet
you as you draw close to Me, I will draw close to you, says the Lord.
Jeremiah 12:5 - 6
If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?
Proverbs 24:10
If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart"
