The Uncaged Journey

We all go through seasons when it feels as if our backs are against the wall. Circumstances around us scream in our face and demand our attention, yet regardless of how long we stare in their direction, nothing changes. At times, we feel powerless. We fight the enemy with declarations of God's Word, we fast and pray, and do everything in the natural to fix what we can, only to wind up exhausted. God Has a Better Way Every opposition we face must be met with faith. We know this. As believers, we've invested our lives in believing what we cannot see with natural eyes or understand with the finite mind. So what do we do when we've done everything we can and feel like our faith has been hijacked by terrorists? The answer—we rest. Rest goes against our fight-or-flight instinct. It feels counterproductive and impractical. Let's be honest—when you're in a battle, resting does not come naturally. Surely the only way to victory is by fighting! Yet right here, in this pl...

This morning I felt a rumble in my spirit—like thunderous clouds announcing the coming lightning. The image of God rising from His throne and planting His feet forcefully on the ground ran through my mind. The Father was about to address the chaos. In my spirit I heard these words, "Enough is enough! Declare the victory! Stand firmly with your feet planted in My truth. In faith and boldness, declare My promises over your situation. But once you have done that, REJOICE! Stop looking at what you see with your natural eyes and see with the eyes of faith. Truly believe that every plan of the enemy is not only going to be crushed, but that I will flip things around and bring the opposite result.  Laugh! Allow joy to spring up within you. I truly am a good God! Let faith fill your vision and overtake every fear, discouragement, and anxious thought. Fill your spirit and your mind with what you know to be true according to My Word. Shake off the heaviness of this last season. My vict...

This morning the Lord spoke to me about His breath. I pray that His words, which settled so sweetly upon my heart will bless you: "I am the breath that steadies the heartbeat of your life. I am the the breath that sustains you. My breath lifts you above the littered terrain that causes you to stumble, when you live in the lowly state of unbelief and fear.  Rest now. All ow M e to take control. T he breath of M y Spirit will direct your life, propel you forward, and guide your steps. Let go of everything that is cluttering your mind and invite My cleansing breath to blow away the thoughts that don't agree with My Word.  Trust Me. Let your words and your thoughts agree with Mine. You will see My breath come with the strength of a hurricane to clear away all that is not of My Spirit. I am with you. I am working on your behalf. I love you. Only believe."

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - John 14:27 When facing a situation that is getting ugly and big, we call it a problem . In the dictionary one meaning of the word problem is "a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome." The explanation is that a problem is something we create ourselves, by the way we view what is happening. It is a problem when we view it, or regard it as a problem. However, when we view these things as opportunities , instead of problems, trusting God to create a testimony, then we are completely resting in God's ability. When we do not have peace and cannot rest in the midst of battle, it denotes that there is fear...
