Embrace in the Dark What You Saw in the Light

  Do we assimilate and implement the word of God in our everyday behavior, especially in the hard, difficult and dark times? If we don’t, then we need to cling to and embrace in these hard times what we expect to see when our revelations turn into reality. What are you expecting to see in your revelations? Do you remember these revelations? Isa. 43:18-21(TPT), “Stop dwelling on the past. Don’t even remember these former things. I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don’t you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert. Wild beasts, jackals, and owls will glorify me. For I supply streams of water in the desert and rivers in the wilderness to satisfy the thirst of my people, my chosen ones, so that you, whom I have shaped and formed for myself, will proclaim my praise.” And Isa. 54: 2-3 (TPT) “Increase is coming, so enlarge your tent and add extensions to your dwelling. Hold nothing back! Make the tent ropes longer and the pegs stronger. You will increase and spread out in every direction. Your sons and daughters will conquer nations and revitalize desolate cities.” Also read verses 4 through 8.
  So, while not seeing the fulfillment of your expectations, believe and act like it is already a reality, just like Abraham did. Sometimes our circumstances seem to speak louder than our promises and we are thrown into  the “prison house” of despair as was John the Baptist in Matthew chapter 11 when he was in prison and began to doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. Satan is always trying to distort our perceptions because of our circumstances. He is a liar and he puts these lies in our minds. Our challenge in this world is to look past these lies and believe in what is true, God’s revelations. II Cor.10:5 says, “Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
  We need to believe in the dark what we have seen in the light.
