Overcome Your Momentum Robbers!
Thursday, February 14, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

I am looking forward to this weekend when I can be back at Glory of Zion.  I continue to hear and read the word momentum in the media.  In this year of momentum, we must allow the Lord to remove every obstacle that would hinder us from moving forward with increased strength and vision.  There's a momentum in the next move of God that's coming.  Let the sound of momentum rise up within you!

I hear the Lord saying I am causing that which has held back your strength to be identified this hour so you can strengthen what remains and rise up again. The race has not been finished by you and I am giving you new energy this hour to finish that race. Momentum and the moment you're presently in is key to your advancement. Do not miss the moment. For every moment this season is important to propel you forward, with strength and anointing.

Grab hold of the moment you're in! Do not let the enemy win the moment. Do not let the enemy win any moment and rob you of that which is necessary to propel you into the Finisher of your Faith.  Receive the hand of My power, for many are resisting the power that I long to give them. Because of past mistakes and misuses, they seem to be rejecting the unction I have for this season to propel them forward.  Let My hand push you forward and teach you the way you should go. Move forward into the place of My presence. Do not stand still if My presence is advancing. Drive a stake through indifference, for indifference will stop your momentum. Decree that your zeal and passion will rise in a new way. I shall instruct you in the way you should go.  Let Me advance you forward even into a place of glory you've not known. Go through the gate, and go beyond.

Even though things have grown icy around you and have attempted to stop your movement, I'm beginning to sound the sound of movement down deep within your spirit. Just like a ship that's been blocked by ice, you will press through that blockade, your way will open up and you'll find yourself in new waters. Fear not new waters and an uncharted course!  I'm causing  My compass to come down in your midst to direct you out of this coldness that's come surrounded you. The coldness of your atmosphere has caused you not come out and fish. I am taking your to waters that are fish- filled. Do not rely upon old methods for the Light that I begin to burn in you will draw many fish to you. Your supply is there. Gain momentum, stoke your fire, break the coldness and the waters with me.
