Scripture Anchor
“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 KJV
No matter how intelligent your plans are, you will never outsmart God.
Although expansion increases responsibility, it will not eliminate your dependence on God.
When growth is not governed by Godliness, it leaves you vulnerable to error, excess, and distraction.
If you desire lasting success, extraordinary growth and great progress, remain submitted to divine authority.
Warfare Prayer
Father, we submit to your governing every step connected to our growth.
We reject self-directed expansion, uncontrolled movement, and unsupervised increase.
We remain in agreement with Your authority, timing, and purpose.
In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.

Amen! Why would we desire our own path when the journey outside of His Perfect Will leads to destruction? Everything this flesh offers is temporary—not Eternal. All, except those things Eternal, will be cast into the Fire. At the same time, we must remember the Authority over the enemy that the Lord has given us—His Authority. Part of trusting the plans He has for us includes walking in His Authority for the purpose of not only living as a free person who is no longer enslaved by sin—no longer ruled by the passions of the flesh—but also for the purpose of expanding His Kingdom. After all, He said to “heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8). Having already given the instruction, we are to simply obey as thy Holy Spirit leads. He, also, said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
He doesn’t need us, but He chooses us. As we encounter the enemy, on this journey, we are not to sit idly by nor roll over and play dead. Hearing the Lord and understanding His Authority requires building a relationship with Him and believing His Word is Truth.
