"Cast all your cares to Me. Cast all your burdens to Me. You have run this race of faith so far. You have run this journey of life so far. Hang on strong! Persevere! Keep looking to Me, and I will know how to order your steps, step by step, every step of the way. Do not be discouraged therefore, and do not lose heart. I will show you the light and I will show you the way, even if you have not been able to see any yet at the moment."
The Lord says further:
"This is a crucial time to rise above and not come under the spiritual atmosphere around you. Do not bow down to whatever the spiritual forces of darkness wherever you are. For you are made the head and not the tail. And you are made overcomers. He who is in you is greater than the power of darkness that is in this world."
Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) says, 'And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.'
In Christ, you too are the heirs of Abraham, and therefore, the blessings of Abraham are upon you! One of these blessings of Abraham is that you are made the head and not the tail; and you shall be above and not be beneath! Yes, even over and above all your situations, circumstances, or even the spiritual forces of darkness around you, whatever these may be!
In a nation, city, town, village, or even neighborhood, there can be certain prevailing spiritual atmosphere that envelopes the place. For some places, it may be the spirit of depression. So, if a person comes under that atmosphere, chances are he or she will somehow, for no reason, feel depressed most of the time. This is the reality in the spiritual realm. For some other places, it may be the spirit of drunkenness, spirit of idolatry, spirit of suicide, etc.
But God! The good news is you are made heirs of God through Christ, and therefore, whatever the spiritual forces of darkness around you may be, you can receive the authority, dominion and power of God to rise above and be set free!
Declare upon yourself that you are the head and not the tail; be above and not be beneath! Know that you have the Master of all situations and circumstances living in you right now! And His name is Jesus!
1 John 5:4 (NKJV) says, 'For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.' Therefore, receive the anointing from on high to overcome and to triumph!
And whatever happens around you, or whatever news you hear around you, there is absolutely nothing to fear, because you have the One who overcomes (John 16:33) living in you right now! Indeed, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) Hallelujah!
