“My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!”
Being in God’s timing and knowing what is needed, what action to take is an Issachar anointing that we have sense of needing right now.
“Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command.”
When there is evil present in the world, as we are witnessing in so many aspects, the enemy satan seems to have the upper hand.
Daniel had a prophetic vision of a fourth beast arising, a demonic beast, that interfered with the timing and momentum of the kingdom.
Right now we appear as individuals and as a body to be finding it difficult to get into the right place for the right time as if there is an oppression of weariness and lack of knowing our strategy, a delay.
“He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.”
Worn out saints who feel exhausted in this season. This is spiritual warfare attempting to rob us of what God has to favour us.
Our surrendering and a foregoing of our independence only will move us on from a stagnant place of delay and disappointment.
We all change as we transition. Some friendships, relationships, mantles responsibilities may realign and morph into greater or lesser dependency.
People in the wrong place will hinder and delay.
Our trust in what and who and our accidental wrong partnering will cause delays that we wrestle with.
Now we sense readiness to knock on doors that will be opened. We can break out of the waiting rooms.
The spirit of delay has been holding us bound and liberation, freedom and healing is available.
It requires courage and not the comfort of remaining in a space of familiarity. When delay is broken we again become alive with purpose.
The price to pay is that we do not like the unknown. There is risk stepping out into the new and unknown.
We become divided if in our prayer we call out for change from the front door but from the back door want to stay in familiar and not change.
This double mindednesses gives Satan the access. Denies the action, alongside the Holy Spirit, that brings solutions.
It actually exposes and is a reality check on where we do not trust God. The real reason for our exhaustion.
“My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!”
God’s kingdom and blessings do not have to be waited for in the future when we are in heaven, they are for His kingdom here and now on earth.
We can break through now processing that which we do not deserve. Receiving unmerited favour, because it is His desire for us to be part of the solution.
God wants to resource us to be resourceful for today. Denying the enemies attempts to thwart.
“But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.”
Just as Joseph exhibited his leadership and solution making in all of the seasons of his journey at home, as captive, in Potiphar’s house, in prison, in ruling in Egypt.
He always embraced the fullness of Gods kingdom and favour wherever he was.
“And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’”
The great promise of the Daniel vision seems an imminent part of the revival that God has readiness to open the doors for as we contend and partner with Him.
God’s dominion is ever nearer as the enemy arises in attempts to delay it.
The illustration shows the spiritual favour to open doors and advance the kingdom in God’s timing. To emanate light that pushes back the darkness.
