The reason why the attacks against your family, your livelihood, your marriage, your health, and your children have reached an all-time high in this season is because you are at a threshold.
In late 2022, I suddenly developed back pain that I couldn’t understand. I went to a chiropractor, who looked at me puzzled and said, “Your hip is out.” Confused, I asked, “How?” and he responded, “I have no idea, but your hip is out.”
I went home, and instantly, the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel of the Lord (Genesis 32:22-32) leaped in my spirit because it was in that battle that his hip was dislocated.
Jacob was at a threshold, not just for himself but for his family. He was crossing the brook Jabbok into his promised land. But more than that, he was standing at a threshold of legacy, his very name would be changed from Jacob (supplanter, deceiver) to Israel (one who wrestles with God and prevails). This was not just about his personal transformation; it was a shift for the generations that would come after him.
Jacob’s struggle in the night was a defining moment, a battle that left him wounded but also marked for destiny. This is where many have found themselves in this season wrestling, battling, and fighting for something bigger than just personal breakthrough.
THE FINAL STRETCH OF THE WAR
I believe we’ve been in many decades of a shift, but we’ve now reached a crescendo moment, a threshold where the battle has intensified like never before. The last few years have been especially heavy, and many are at the point of saying:
“God, I don’t know how much more I can handle. I don’t know how much more warfare I can endure. I don’t know how many more unexpected attacks I can face.”
You need to know this is a threshold battle. This is the final stretch before crossing over. Many have been:
⁃Fighting and pioneering for legacy.
⁃Warring for the promise over their family, ministry, and destiny.
⁃Contending for the shifting out of an old wineskin and stepping into something new.
But because it has gone on for so long, many are growing weary. Some feel stuck, tired of fighting, yet unable to see the breakthrough they have been pressing toward.
This season is about moving from breaking ground to being established. It’s for those called to lead their families and the Body of Christ into a place of true health, true wholeness, and true transformation, a place we have longed for but not yet fully seen.
THE CROSSING OVER IS HERE
I feel strongly that this threshold is about to be crossed. I believe we are stepping out of constant contention, constant warfare, and constant survival mode into a place where:
⁃Freedom will be the norm.
⁃Health will be the norm.
⁃Peace in marriages and families will be the norm.
⁃Being above constant warfare will be the norm.
⁃Thriving financially will be the norm.
⁃Living free from jezebel and narcissism will be the norm.
I know this battle has been intense. I know it has been draining, financially, emotionally, spiritually. I know many feel depleted in their strength, joy, and hope.
But hear the Lord today:
“Tell them: Don’t give up!”
Some of you have been battling intensely in your marriage. Others have been warring for your children, your household, and your future. It has reached a breaking point where you feel like your strength is gone, and hope is slipping away.
But today, the Lord is saying:
“By faith, step over that brook!”
Just as Jacob stepped over the Jabbok and left his old identity behind, you are stepping over the place of separation between the old and the new.
“You are about to see My power! You are about to see My ability! You are about to see Me shift you out of the dysfunctions of generations past and lead you into health and wholeness!”
The Lord says today:
I will bring your prodigals home.
I will awaken the sleeping.
I will restore your everything that the locusts have devoured in these past years.
I will renew your strength and joy.
And I will FINISH WHAT I PROMISED YOU YEARS AGO!
As I’m writing this I feel like the Lord is saying that it’s time for those issues and battles against family to be finalised.
-Family court issues.
-Prodigal issues
-Drug addiction
-Marriage and infidelity issues
-Financial issues
-Lost or red taped inheritances
-Generational health issues
-Generational mental health issues.
TO THE PIONEERS OF FAMILY
And lastly, It’s been on my heart today to simply say Thankyou for your yes in the last 1-15 years.
In a world chasing success and notoriety, money, and things. You chose to pursue health. To pursue Jesus.
Even in the Christian world often deeply influenced by culture and tainted by those same vain and worthless ventures, you chose a different road. Again, you chose the less popular thing, you chose health. You chose Jesus.
You chose legacy over appearance and reputation, because let’s be honest, it’s been costly to go this way.
It’s been a road of unravelling and pulling back the layers of dysfunctions of many generations.
It’s been a road of living on the altar and constant refinery and heart pruning to come out the orphan spirit and starting your sonship story.
It’s been a road of warfare and battling to leave the pit of trauma, triggers, and narcissistic norms for the sake of your family and your children.
It’s been a road of choosing the long game over bandaiding pain and putting a Christian sticker on it.
You chose legacy.
You chose to stand up and give your life for what God had in mind for your own family even though you knew it would be a minefield and difficult threshold to cross.
Yet you said yes. And while maybe you are still mid way and yet to see the fruit of this calling.
You are further than you realise.
And the Father is so proud of you.
And I feel like today the Lord wants to say over you;
“In the next few years you will shift from battle focus to REAPING what you have sown!”
“You will shift from warfare and drama to being the Joshua’s and way-makers of this new era!”
The blueprints are in your hands. Blood stained. Crumpled.
They may not feel valuable but it’s a roadmap out of the wilderness for so many.
So on behalf of who is yet to leave, I say Thankyou..
The threshold is here and you are stepping over it in Jesus name!
