Luke 4:18 - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me."
Believe God is bringing us to a place where we know that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. God wants to bring us to the fact of what Jesus said in John 14: "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever."
Because the Spirit of the Lord came upon Him who is our Head, we must see to it that we receive the same anointing and that the same Spirit is upon us. We see the manifestation of the Spirit resting upon Him so that His ministry was with power.
May God awaken us to the fact that this is the only place where there is any ministry of power. There is no limit to what we may become if we dwell and live in the Spirit. In the Spirit of prayer, we are taken right away from earth into heaven. It is only in the Spirit that the love of God is poured out in us (Romans 5:5).
Matthew 5:39 - "But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also."
This verse reveals the humiliation of being a Christian. When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but make it an occasion to exhibit the Son of God. To the saint personal insult becomes the occasion of revealing the incredible love of the Lord Jesus. The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not -- Do your duty, but -- Do what is not your duty. It is not your duty to go the second mile, to turn the other cheek, but Jesus says if we are His disciples we shall always do these things. There will be no spirit of -- "Oh, well, I cannot do any more, I have been so misunderstood."
Every time I insist upon my rights, I hurt the Son of God. The disciple realizes that it is his Lord's honor that is at stake in his life, not his own honor. We are always looking for justice; the teaching on the Sermon on the Mount is -- Never look for justice but never cease to live it.
Today is an invitation to step forward. It is a season of becoming. What God has been forming in hidden places is now beginning to emerge. You are not behind—you are stepping into purpose, one faithful step at a time.
What God has been forming in hidden places is now beginning to emerge. The stretching, the refining, the waiting... it was not wasted. God never wastes time. He redeems it. He restores it.
The rest wasn't a setback. It was an invitation to know Him deeper, to be strengthened, and to discover who He created you to be. This is a call to go higher. Not into pressure, but into purpose.
"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." - Malachi 3:3
Gold is not formed without fire. Refinement requires heat—not to destroy but to purify. Scripture shows us that God sits as a refiner, carefully tending the process, removing what does not belong so that what is valuable can remain.
There is weight to what you now carry. There is depth that only comes through refinement.
This is not a time to remain hidden. It is a season to step forward—not in striving, not in fear but in bold confidence. God is not rushing you, but He is calling you higher. You don't need to have every answer. You don't need to feel completely ready. You simply need to take the next step in faith. He will meet you there.
Declarations:
1. I am becoming who God created me to be.
2. I am being refined to reveal His greater purpose.
3. I will step forward in faithful obedience and bold confidence.
