I Have Made You a Water Walker
There is a strong heat right now, the reason for this heat is to subdue many that have begun to follow after the urgings of the Spirit in the fulfillment of their destinies. Look beyond the heat, follow through no matter the resistance, God is showing up for you.
Everything begins with the word. God makes the promises, reveals them to us most times just by godly desires filled with peace. Sometimes by prophecies and other times his will is communicated to us as we study the word, scriptures are illuminated by the Holy Spirit to give us direction.
But all are seeds and the seed is the target of the enemy. A godly dream, a godly vision, a godly desire, a godly plan, all these are seeds and they are the target of the enemy.
… for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Mathew 13:32
Observe carefully the reason for tribulation, it comes for the word. That godly seed is the target of the enemy and not you directly.
But there is something peculiar about this verse that is worthy of notice, a lot of us view tribulation as something that must be material or a physical attack. But the word used above for tribulation is from the Greek word thilipsis which means pressure (Strong’s Concordance G2346).
As you embark on your God given dream, vision, purpose, all what the enemy does from the outside is targeted at putting pressure upon your heart for you to let go. The delay, the rejection, the mockery, the disappointments, all these are brought upon you to make you depressed so you can let go.
One difficult trick in this pressure move of the enemy is, when you begin to move in what you believe God wants you to accomplish, that moment you begin, he will come to you like he came to Jesus;
Do you really think this thing you are doing is God inspired?
If it’s God’s will, why doesn’t he give his angels charge to help you at this moment of difficulty?
All these are pressures aiming at the vision. God will never abandon you for attempting to fulfill his purpose. Even if you go on without accurately understanding the timing and fail, you have fallen forward, you will gain experience at the end.
Look at what the word says when you have begun and are tempted to pull back;
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10: 38
There is no armour for our backs. The entire armory mentioned in the sixth chapter of Ephesians has nothing to offer for our backs.
Yes, do it afraid as long as you still have that godly desire on your inside, keep pursuing. Slide against the current for we a different breed;
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10:39
God is faithful, he comes to fulfill his word despite your fear. Hold fast at this moment regardless of the pressure.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23
In an encounter with the word during a time of meditation, the Holy Spirit spoke through this scripture for many right now;
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Mathew 14:29-30
The LORD Said; “Believe in the simplicity of my word. It carries within it the fullness of power to fulfill all my counsel.
Do not be afraid, where I bid I provide. I have made provision for every desire I have put on the inside of you.
My Power, Grace, Mercy, all I AM I have reserved for you.
Set your eyes on me, disregard the wind for I have made you a water walker.”
