JEREMIAH 10: 21 FOR THE SHEPHERDS HAVE BECOME SENSELESS; THEY DO NOT SEEK THE LORD. THEREFORE, THEY HAVE NOT PROSPERED, AND ALL THEIR FLOCK IS SCATTERED.

22 LISTEN! THE SOUND OF A REPORT IS COMING—A GREAT COMMOTION FROM THE LAND TO THE NORTH. THE CITIES OF JUDAH WILL BE MADE A DESOLATION, A HAUNT FOR JACKALS.

23 I KNOW, O LORD, THAT A MAN’S WAY IS NOT HIS OWN; NO ONE WHO WALKS DIRECTS HIS OWN STEPS. 24 CORRECT ME, O LORD, BUT ONLY WITH JUSTICE—NOT IN YOUR ANGER, OR YOU WILL BRING ME TO NOTHING.

LUKE 5: 37-39 AND NO ONE POURS NEW WINE INTO OLD WINESKINS. IF HE DOES, THE NEW WINE WILL BURST THE SKINS, THE WINE WILL SPILL, AND THE WINESKINS WILL BE RUINED. 38 INSTEAD, NEW WINE IS POURED INTO NEW WINESKINS. 39 AND NO ONE AFTER DRINKING OLD WINE WANTS NEW, FOR HE SAYS, ‘THE OLD IS BETTER.’ ”…

THE UNPRECEDENTED DAYS WE ARE LIVING IN REQUIRE THAT WE BE SPIRITUALLY POSITIONED IN TERMS OF OUR IDENTITY AND PROPHETIC ASSIGNMENT. THE SCHEME OF THE ENEMY IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO DISRUPTING THE ORDER OF LIFE, BUT ALSO TO DISTORT OUR SANITY AND MAKE US QUESTION WHAT IS REAL AND GOD’S CALL FOR US.

OUR ABILITY TO THINK AND REASON WILL BE GREATLY CHALLENGED, TO THE POINT WHERE MANY PEOPLE WILL BECOME DISORGANIZED, DISORIENTED, AND FRUSTRATED. THIS DEVIOUS PLOT BY THE ENEMY WILL CAUSE MANY PEOPLE TO START MAKING HASTY DECISIONS WITHOUT THINKING THEM THROUGH.

THE BATTLE OF THE MIND, OR THE WAR OF THOUGHTS, WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON HOW WE MAKE DECISIONS THAT CHANGE OUR LIVES. THIS IS BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF THOUGHTS WE HAVE WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE HOW WE SEE THE WORLD AND THE ACTIONS WE TAKE.

TO ACHIEVE A MORE SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE, WE WILL NEED TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE ASCENDED REVELATION, THE REALITY OF REST, PEACE AND QUIETNESS IN OUR SENSE OF LIFE.

IT’S FROM THIS POINT THAT THE KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING NEEDED FOR WHAT IS BEFORE US WILL BE MET. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR WHAT IS TO COME. WALKING IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US IS CRITICAL TO THE BREAKTHROUGH WE WILL NEED IN 2023.
