Jun 1, 2025 Do you know that spiritual attacks have been intercepted by your intercession? And the prayers of others have formed protective walls around you and your loved ones? How is this possible? Spiritual things cannot be discerned with our natural minds. However, once you experience and encounter with God, your faith will catapult to unimaginable heights. Jesus is looking for those with faith that shatters paradigms, turns the tides around, and changes atmospheres. Those with this unshakable faith are not easily moved and swayed by tests, trials, or the world's system. They have a strong foundation, therefore they go the extra mile. Just as a tree must sway back and forth in high winds to avoid snapping, a skyscraper must do the same. The house that was built on a rock was battered by storms but continued to stand (Matthew 7:24–27). Those with unshakable faith don't live according to the world's system, but they live by a higher standard. These individuals live with a high expectation and walk in a manner worthy of the calling that the Lord has placed on their lives. "Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did." (1 John 2:6 NIV) Teaching Others to Walk in Unwavering Faith Those with the faith to shatter paradigms will be the world transformers. They are not moved by bad reports, but they know that Jesus will supply their every need. The Lord is raising up men and women who are resilient and will teach others to walk in the same unwavering faith. There are those of you who have a calling on your lives to resuscitate the fainthearted. You are called to be encouragers, but the enemy has bombarded you with so much discouragement, causing fear and doubt. The Holy Spirit gave me this Scripture: "And The Lord said, 'Simon, Simon! Indeed, satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.'" (Luke 22:31–32 NKJV) The Lord is looking for Believers who will hold up the hands of others who are weary in battle, just as Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses. They will strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those with feeble knees. They will say to those who are fearful: "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution" (Isaiah 35:4 NIV). He is calling the intercessors to be watchmen on the walls, and He will give them a battle plan for the needs of the people. They will pray day and night, continually, until they receive breakthrough. Through their prayers, the Lord will bring healing to the hearts of many. He will expose the plans of the enemy, and set the captives free. He will use the prophets to speak forth the word of the Lord.

He can't understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God." (1 Corinthians 2:14–15 TPT) They will prophesy with precision and accuracy because they spend time with Jesus. They will only say what they hear the Father saying. Those who are in tune with the voice of the Holy Spirit will release prophetic words of justice to an unjust world. They will release words of righteousness to an unrighteous world and words of comfort to those in turmoil. They will speak to the mountains "be thou removed and cast into the sea," and they will obey (Mark 11:23 KJV). He's looking for those who are surrendered to Him, whose motives are pure and who are led by the Holy Spirit. They will be empowered to mentor others out of an undefiled conscience. They will reach out and rescue those who are in desperate situations because they know what it is to pay the price as they have also been through the same. He's looking for men and women who will not be moved by tumultuous winds but will rise up in faith and take the land for Jesus. "Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him."

Seeing nearby shelter, the lamb made a quick decision and dashed through a narrow opening in the wall. He had dashed into the temple. The wolf, smiling a wicked smile, said, “You might as well come out; the priest will slay you if he catches you in there.” The lamb thought for a moment and then replied, “I choose to stay here.” “It is better to be sacrificed to God in His house than to leave it and be devoured by you.” Ultimately, Satan’s goal is to destroy all who are in bondage to him, while God sets at liberty those in His care. God wants us to be a “living sacrifice” for Him. Which will you choose? u SalvationWise.Org I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJ u Listen Slowly I would hate to have a hard count of how many times we interrupt people in conversation and how many times we jump ahead with our thoughts expressing the wrong conclusion to someone else’s words. We miss so much in life because we will not listen. A well known Christian writer once found himself with too many commitments in too few days. He got nervous and tense about it. He says: “I was snapping at my wife and our children, choking down my food at mealtimes, and feeling irritated at those unexpected interruptions through the day,”. “Before long, things around our home started reflecting the patter of my hurry-up style. It was become unbearable. “I distinctly remember after supper one evening, the words of our younger daughter. She wanted to tell me something important that had happened to her at school that day. She began hurriedly, ‘Daddy, I wanna tell you somethin’ and I’ll tell you really fast.’ “Suddenly realizing her frustration, I answered, ‘Honey, you can tell me — and you don’t have to tell me really fast. Say it slowly.” I’ll never forget her answer: ‘Then listen slowly.'” u Adapted from: Bits & Pieces, June 24, 1993, Page 13-14 The Choice of Lambs
