The Lord unction me on 10/13/26 around 2AM to read 2 Samuel 10 and I have a word to give: The people of Ammon were moving based on assumption and their assumption led to their destruction. Hear me on this, These people went out of their way to cause harm off of their own assumption which led to their downfall. This is why you should not judge a book by its cover. This is why you should not allow your natural eyes to judge what I Am doing. I’m still moving. You must walk by the Spirit. You must trust Me in this hour. Trust what I Am doing. Trust My leading. I know the plans I have for You. Plans to give you a future and a “big” hope. (I sense great emphasis on big) It may seem like the odds are against you now but I Am telling you they are not. This is all just part of My plan. All things are working out according to My plan. It may seem as if they have everything they can to use against you. But just as the Syrians fled before the battle even started…confidence. Instead of panicking the Israelites chose courage. They showed up in faith despite the battle that was before them that came unexpectedly. Expect the unexpected but your response should always remain rooted in faith. Despite what their eyes were seeing, they showed up—ready. I hear the Lord say, “this is what surrender looks like, when you give it to Me I’ll make a way of escape because nothing can happen outside of My will.” I hear the spirit of the Lord say, “There’s always a reason behind everything. It’s all tied to building trust with Me. Do you trust Me daughter? Do you trust that I Am a good Father and that I Am just teaching you how to believe in what I show you? To meet Me at My word instead of doubting My word. I Am a promise keeper. I keep My promises with all of My children. For you all are precious to Me. For I Am not a Father to lie to His children.” He says, “and just as their plans failed against Israel so shall theirs. There is nothing that goes past My will. You can’t out escape My hand. What I say goes and can no one talk their way out of My will and what I have purposed. All things work together according to My purpose. It will indeed stand and no one will be able to stand in the way of it, not even I declares the Lord. For what I have purposed will always stand. No matter what the circumstances are.”

You must understand the importance of prayer in seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. There are three wills: 1. Will of flesh (self) 2. Will of man (others) 3. Will of God (God) I will explain in detail the meaning of this during the prayer and fasting retreat and if the Lord permits, I will post the biblical teaching. Hear me, When you include God in your decisions, your choices—no matter what you face, what He has purposed for your life will always stand. Even in your mistakes, the moment you return to Him, He will restore what was lost and what was broken. And the other two, will always lead you back to the will of God through repentance. Hear me on this, you are living because He has a purpose for you here on earth. But ask yourself, do you know that purpose? I pray the Lord gives you the understanding you need in this season so you can stop leaning on your own understanding. Your own understanding is rooted in the emotions of your heart. But do you not know the heart alone is wicked and no one knows it’s wickedness? A man doesn’t know his secret faults so what makes you think your own understanding is correct when you don’t even know what defiles your own heart? Are you perfect? Do you not need His grace?

“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV Obtained means to receive. Predestined means it’s already yours despite the circumstances around you. Despite what tv show is currently on, the tv show will eventually change on its own. God will shift a thing unexpectedly to align you with His purpose. God would position you in a place of sudden breakthrough and usually it’s a position of character development because He wants to first prepare your heart to receive the blessing. It’s already yours. Your faith verifies that. You don’t need evidence to back up your faith. Your faith IS your evidence. When you come to the understanding that all you have to do is believe Him at His word despite the heartache. The heartache doesn’t define the final outcome. Don’t give up because it didn’t work out the first time. Keep trying because in your loss there is gain. You loss a part of you that could no longer go with you to the new thing God is doing in your life and gained a part of you that could help you maintain the blessing God has for you. You must have faith to know that if it’s from God, He will work it out. Be at peace in knowing no matter what odds are against you. If it is God’s will, if He PURPOSED you to receive that desire then it will happen for you. But first you must come to the acceptance of even if it doesn’t work out, God is still good. You must have faith that God—who has the power to do exceedingly and abundantly more than you can ask or think has greater for you. You must know there is more He has in store for you. Surrender everything to God and let Him work it out for you. Don’t grow an attachment to something that isn’t yet yours. Be encouraged. Stand in your faith. Love God or come to love Him. He is indeed alive.
