I Might Be a Prophet

Pressure has a unique quality of revealing impurities. Under pressure the leaks are found and true capacities are proven. Trials and testing are uncomfortable, but they have great purpose.

For the Called, tribulations are not for punishment, but the process of promotion. Through the unfolding of hardships, your heart is strengthened by each challenge.

The breaking of mindsets and the exposing of the enemy’s lies, that have been masquerading, as your own thoughts are torn down. The question of who you are and what you believe is intensified under duress.

Welcome the pressure in and allow the controversy, the contradictions and the contrasts, to fully rebuke you. As the anger, the offenses and the traumas begin to reveal your heart. Be honest, ask for MY Holy Spirit to enter and heal.

Judges 6:11-13
Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”
