I heard and released these words from the Lord recently:
"This is a time to expect a fresh outpouring from heaven and expect Me to do many new things in your life! I am setting many free from their old cycles and old boundaries. Be set free from the limitations in your mind, and be released into the realm of the unlimited! I will cause you to see what I want you to see! Receive the anointing to break through any 'glass ceiling' of yours!"
Indeed, this is a new season when old cycles and old boundaries (limitations) are being broken in the anointing (the power from on high), and many will be set free to be who (and what) the Lord wants them to be!
I had a dream recently that confirmed what I heard above. In the dream, I was visiting someone whom I have lost touch with for many years, at his home. That person seemed to be stuck in the old ways and old cycle, and with no way for breakthrough in his life and ministry. In the dream, he seemed like he couldn't be himself, because he was bound by the requirements of the old structures set by the people before him. I was there to minister to him and to set him free.
People of God, there's a fresh outpouring from heaven right now, and there's an anointing being released to set many free from the realm of the limited into the realm of the unlimited. Don't miss this time and season! Tap into it, and receive by faith!
One definition of 'glass ceiling' is 'an invisible, but real barrier to any further advancement (or to move into the next level)'. In the context of the prophetic message today, 'glass ceiling' here can be defined as 'a point after which you think you cannot go any further (in your life, career, or ministry)'. But here's a piece of good news for you! If you think you have reached a limit (in any area of your life) on this earth, and you think you cannot go any further (from this current stage of your life), there's an anointing right now to break through those 'glass ceilings' of yours! Take it!
You see, the enemy likes it when your mind is set with a limitation. It's like some of you are saying, "Well, that's as far as I am able to go. I don't think I can go any further from this point. I think I have reached my ceiling!" And that's what the enemy wants to make you think, because he wants you to remain 'small', 'insignificant', and a 'no threat' to him. But that's not what the Lord thinks or says about you! In Isaiah 43:19, the Lord says, "Behold, I will do a new thing (for you). Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." If He can make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, He can also do what seems to be impossible to you at the moment! Just never allow anyone (or anything) to put a limit on what the Lord can do in your life!
Let me give you an example. In the aviation industry, some people have begun envisioning that there will be a time when you can fly from, say, London to Melbourne within just 2 to 3 hours with 'hypersonic' planes (more than just 'supersonic planes'), high above the height that current commercial planes fly! At the moment of writing, the fastest one-stop flight between London and Melbourne takes close to 21 hours! How about enjoying the beauty and magnificence of the galaxies and stars in all their glory right above your head through a 'transparent ceiling' in the plane, all at the press of a button? Wishful thinking? But do you know all these have been envisioned and be seen as possible?
So, if you think what you see at the moment in commercial aviation today (i.e. long, boring flights) is all about air travel, think again! The best is yet to come!
By the same token, if you think what you see at the moment in your life is all that the Lord can do for you, think again! The best is yet to come! He can bless you in many more unimaginable ways, if you allow Him!
Ephesians 3:20-21 says, 'Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen'.
Not according to your own power, but according to the power from on high that works in you! Hallelujah! By the way, the word 'power' here is 'dunamis' in Greek, which can be translated as 'miracle, ability, abundance, miraculous power, mighty (and wonderful) work'. And this 'miracle, ability, abundance, miraculous power, mighty (and wonderful) work' from on high has no limitations!
People of God, this is a time to be set free to access this realm of the unlimited!
Keys to accessing the realm of the unlimited:
1. Cast down arguments and every high thing (2 Corinthians 10:5)
2. Know that His thoughts for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11)
3. Commit all your works to the Lord (Proverbs 16:3)
4. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2)
5. Be spiritually-minded (Romans 8:5-6)
Cast down arguments and every high thing
2 Corinthians 10:5 says, 'Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...'
The phrase 'the knowledge of God' here means 'knowing Him and His plan (or will) for your life'. Therefore, take authority in Jesus' name, and cast down all those 'fiery darts' thrown by the enemy against all that the Lord has spoken in your life!
Know that His thoughts for you are good
Jeremiah 29:11 says, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope'. The word 'peace' here is 'shalowm' in Hebrew, and it can mean 'peace, wellness, wholeness, welfare, health, prosperity, safety'. In other words, He wants the best for you, and He wants you to have 'shalowm' (peace, wellness, wholeness, welfare, health, prosperity, safety) in life! Let not the enemy make you think otherwise!
Commit all your works to the Lord
Proverbs 16:3 says, 'Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established'.
The word 'commit' here is 'galal' in Hebrew, and it means 'to roll, to trust'. 'To roll' your works to the Lord is to involve Him in all that you do (whatever your line may be). And that's when your thoughts will be established. This word 'established' means 'put in order, put right, be sure, be prosperous'. That's how great ideas (not just 'good ideas' from men, but 'God ideas' from the Lord) come about, and if worked on, these ideas (innovations, or creativity in any line you are in) will become a reality in the physical realm.
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Romans 12:2 says, 'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove ('dokimazo' in Greek, meaning 'allow') what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God'. The word 'conformed' here is 'suschematizo' in Greek, meaning 'patterned after', and in this context, 'patterned after the way of this world (which is limited in nature)'. The word 'transformed' here is 'metamorphoo' in Greek, meaning 'be changed', and in this context, 'be changed by the works of the Holy Spirit' (see also 2 Corinthians 3:18). And that's how you 'allow' what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God to manifest in your life!
Be spiritually-minded
Romans 8:5-6 says, 'For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, (set their minds on) the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally-minded is death, but to be spiritually-minded is life and peace'.
Colossians 3:2 says, 'Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth'.
Philippians 4:8-9 says, 'Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate (think) on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you'.
Isaiah 26:3 says, 'You will keep him in perfect peace ('shalowm' in Hebrew), whose mind (thought) is stayed on You, because he trusts in You'.
The above verses show the importance of setting your mind on the things of the Lord. Just as good thoughts attract good things from the Lord, heavenly thoughts attract heavenly things from the Lord! And heavenly things are always supernatural, high and above all that men can ever conceive with their own limited minds!
People of God, as you cross into a brand new season in your life, may the Lord also spark off in you (and through you) great and marvelous things that 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which He has prepared for those who love Him' (1 Corinthians 2:9). All glory be to the Lord! Amen!
