Watchfulness and Discipline — Habakkuk 2:1

I saw a bright cloud struggling with a thick dark cloud. The white cloud was calm and peaceful but the dark cloud was vicious and contained heavy thundering and lightning then I called to remembrance the words of the Lord below: Luke 22:31-32 (31) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (32) But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. It took just 5 days of my inability to pray for darkness to creep into our spiritual space.

You may not understand what I mean, but I look into the realm of the spirit at least once daily to be sure that everything is fine. This is why it looks like we get to know before anything good or bad happens in the ministry or to specific persons who have built strong relationships with me. This has always worked for us and we've always been ahead of the devil by God's mercies and grace.

When I saw this darkness, I was first grateful to God that it was still at its breeding stage and I had to implore the mercies of God in spiritual warfare for its destruction and am glad it was destroyed. Something is striking in our focal passage and it comes as the statement, "and will watch to see what he will say unto me". This statement suggests that unless you're in a "watching" mode, you will not be able to SEE what God will SAY.

So, watching turns God's message from words to pictures. Watching visualizes God's words. This can be seen below: Jeremiah 2:31 (31) O generation, see ye the word of the LORD.

Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? Every vision is a seen word from God. Visions, when not conveyed symbolically by God, provide much more accurate details and highlight the will of God and the plans of the enemy with greater clarity.

By God's grace, we will never have another reason to stay off the spiritual grid again, and from this moment, the blessing of God that we might have missed these past 5 days would come in greater measure to us in Jesus' mighty name!
