I don't know about you but there have been promises and dreams that we have been waiting to come to pass for a long time and as I wrote my report last night for our board meeting, the Lord showed me all the things that we are seeing breakthrough in and a stepping into the promises long held onto.
He showed me the exciting season we are in and I believe as a body of Christ, that we are walking into. Keep going through the storms as its like the final birth pains for the things we have been believing for are breaking forth.
Firstly take a moment and write down all that is happening because often stuff is happening and we are not taking hold of what is actually going on in the midst of daily life that we get caught up in. The 'wins' if you like as it will encourage you.
Secondly let me encourage you to keep going as all His promises are "Yes and Amen"
So often we want to give up, or to find a way through that is easier, or made by the hand of man not by God, but just as Jesus journeyed the road to the cross great joy awaited him as it does us.

Creativity is being released
Promises are being released,
Joy is being released,
Authority is being released.

James 1:4 says
"Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".

Gal 6:9
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up".
The other night I had a dream and in this vision I saw I was sitting around a table teaching people at the table to put on the armour of God.
So today I also encourage you to put on the full armour of God as found in Eph 6:10-19
as it will remind you of the truth and help you to walk forward knowing the authority we have in Christ.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. - (His power not yours - His power that created the universe, His power that breathed and gave us life, His power that overcame death, His power and authority that now lives in you"
Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith with which you can extinquish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and request With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be give me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel."
