Be Alert!

These are perilous times, and the Lord is calling His people to be alert and sober....to PAY ATTENTION! Things in the spirit and in the natural are changing rapidly. There is a shift, a realigning. The enemy is poised to strike, but the Lord knows and laughs at his plans (Psa.2:4).

He has promised to tell us in advance about those things that affect our lives, but we have to be listening and be prepared to act immediately!
Matt.24:25 - "Behold, I have told you in advance."

He warns and instructs us in dreams and visions (often night visions). Have you had a recent dream (or one from months or even years ago that the Lord is quickening to you now)? Ask Him if it applies to this time; ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and understanding to know what you're to do. If your dream can be taken literally, pay attention to it! My daughter, who is two months pregnant with my first grandchild, recently had a very vivid dream in which the Lord spoke a medical term that she didn't know with regard to the baby in her womb. Upon awakening, she looked up the term and realized that the Lord had been warning her about a condition that she needs to come against in prayer, but also to alert her doctor for effective treatment.
Matt.2:12 - "And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their own country by another way."
Matt.2:13 - ".....an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, 'Arise and take the Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt.....'"
Matt.2:22 - "And being warned by God in a dream, he departed for the regions of Galilee...."
Job 33:14-18

The Lord positions us so that we're not only in a place of safety from the enemy's attack, but in order to be most effective for His Kingdom. This applies to our homes, our jobs, school, the church where the Lord has planted us - every area of our lives. Are you sensing a shift in one or more of these areas? If so, press in to hear what the Lord is instructing you in this hour!

"That which was spoken through the prophets will be fulfilled" (Matt.2:23). The Lord has written in His book all the days that are ordained for us (Psa.139:16). However, He has given us the free will to choose to obey Him. May we receive the grace to respond as Jesus did:
Heb.10:7 - "Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the roll of the book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.'"
