An indicator that one’s breakthrough is at the threshold is increased attacks against one’s physical and/or mental well-being by the cohorts of Satan. “Stupid” behavior of co-workers, family, church leadership, etc. may seem to increase to which the flesh will want to react but we “wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, the Spirit of truth who lives within to teach and remind us of all things JESUS (John 14:26 & 16:13) helps us in checking ourselves; the Holy Spirit will say “no, you’re not called to react in that way”. Therefore, be aware of even the most subtle enticement to react to bad behavior with more of the same.

Walking as an epistle of light (Matthew 5:14; Acts 13:47) neither renders one a doormat nor is it synonymous with weakness. Rather, it is triumphal (2Co 2:14-16) because it’s faith that renders the power and authority to move (not climb) the mountains/obstacles of the enemy which attempt to dissuade, discourage from the way of God, to thwart manifestation(s) of the things of God. Faith hangs on divine love and is undergirded by the power of patience.

Love & patience are good fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22). Therefore, don’t allow bad fruit to contaminate the harvest of good fruit being developed; resist and cast down in the Name above all names-JESUS. The WORD of God is the arsenal of sons & daughters of God engaged in spiritual war by which the victory is in Christ Jesus, the Living Word. Therefore, stay in the WORD (i.e., read, meditate, mutter, talk, muse, visualize) to remain firmly footed on the WORD (i.e., faith, trust, confidence).
