                       A New Level Of Faith

God is seeking to move His Church from a victim mentality to a victor 
mentality. 

"There is a shift occuring in the heavenlies and My people shall receive 
a fresh revelation of who they are in Me. You eyes shall be opened to the 
fulness of what My work on the cross accomplished. You shall no longer 
walk as a victim of your circumstances, but you shall look your adversary 
straight in the face and speak My word over that situation.

Many of My own at this present time have been faced with different trials 
and afflictions that have left you battle-scarred and weary. Just when you 
think the storm is over, the enemy floods in to overwhelm My people. Yet 
within My crucibles I am fashioning My dread warriors in the midst of the 
fire. I have taken you through situations where you have been stripped of 
your own knowledge, understanding and leaning supports -- where you had to 
literally walk by faith. These have become so regular for My own that they 
have acquired a victim mindset of accepting defeat.

Yet I call you to rise above these mindsets and to look higher.  

I have to introduce something for you to overcome, in order that you might 
be an overcomer.  You may be going through a testing period, but know that 
I am in total control over your situation. In order for David to be 
victorious, he had to meet his Goliath.  As he set his sights on Me, he 
knew that he could not overcome through his own strength. Yet, he knew that
I would back him up. As he picked up the stone and slung it in faith, My 
power met him halfway and slew the giant.

I am calling My people to release the stone and let it fly. Truly your giants 
shall be overcome as you step out in faith.

Yet, My children, victory does not come without a fight. My servant Joshua 
had to walk around the walls seven times on the seventh day before the walls 
crumbled. So I am calling you to press in for breakthrough until it comes. 
I am calling you to look past the horizon of your limitations and see the 
cloud the size of a man's fist arise and grow into a rain cloud.

My people, you are entering a time of war. The enemy will be fighting harder 
and pulling out the last stops. I am calling those who will believe to 
contend by faith to take back ground. I am calling even those of mustard- 
seed faith to indeed sow that faith and reap a moved mountain. Like a seed 
that takes time and persistence, so you will need to be persistent with 
prayer.

There is a change in the heavenlies. I am moving in a new way, and I am 
calling those of the house of faith to walk in the fulness of who I am.  I
am calling them to win the battle that is waged against My people. The mute 
cries of My church shall be turned into a roar of war. No longer shall they 
see themselves in their own strength.  Instead, they shall see Holy Spirit 
apostolic and warfare anointing to take authority over that which opposes 
Me.

I am He who trains your hands for war and your fingers for battle. I am 
breaking the barriers of your limitations and causing you to walk in a 
new anointing. I am expanding your borders and making room for you to 
contain more. Now is the time to meet Me at the cross and die to all that 
would be a hindrance, so that My Holy Spirit power shall flow through you 
in its fulness. For you are those I am calling to advance the Kingdom. You 
are those who will cause the enemy to flee because you walk under My 
anointing and the fulness of who I am.  These are indeed the days to walk 
by faith, for I am moving the faith of My people to a new level.
