Many of you are finding yourselves continually hit by the spirit of control. Many of you are facing this oppressive spirit at what seems like every turn.

The agenda of this spirit is to bring about death to your life, your hopes, your dreams and your desires that I have placed within you. This very spirit is manifesting in many of your lives as a spirit of oppression, death and discouragement.

This spirit has come into many of your lives and has placed the placard upon your backs with the words “You cannot do it”, “You are a failure”, “Don’t dare to dream as the impossible is not really possible”. Many of you have found yourselves robbed of blessing, joy and true identity that I have given to you in My death and resurrection.

I have heard many of your cries that you have felt caged, squashed, treated like a child, this spirit has come against many in My Church, many of you who are pressing deeper into My heart and Kingdom and is attempting to push each of you into a corner. To demean your value and tell you but you are just a child and unable to accomplish life or that which I have put before you.

My Church, this is a crucial time and the answer to this battle is praise! Praise your way through this battle and continue to soak in My presence, hearing My voice and not letting the Word depart from before your eyes. Many of you have found yourselves drifting from the Word, and My beloved Church this just opens the door even further to the wiles of this horrendous spirit.

My Church, the battle is already won! The victory is already yours! Keep your eyes on me! Focus on Me and not on the battle. Do not allow this spirit to rob you any longer. You have freedom in Me and this freedom was purchased for you at a high price.

I love you My beloved Church, you are so greatly loved by Me, My precious Bride. Anointed ones, stand firm! Let not discouragement be entertained in your hearts, let not the lies of the enemy hold you down any longer, but stand tall in Me knowing that Great is your God and victory is yours.

Be childlike in faith, but do not surrender to the lies of being a child or inability to accomplish life or that to which I have called you to.

Those of you who are facing this tremendous battle have found yourselves losing joy for life, wondering what is wrong with you, passion being stolen, thoughts flooding your minds that you must be doing something wrong. No, My beloveds, this is the assignment of this spirit being released upon My Church.

There is a season beginning where the fresh wind of My Spirit is blowing upon many of your hearts which will fling doors of opportunity wide open, and bring forth new life, and the enemy is attempting to stop this work, he will not win, for you My Church have the victory. Listen to My voice, let me lead you to still waters where you may rest.

Stay hidden in My presence and sheltered by My Word and amazing love for you. Continue to bask in My presence. This suffering will end, and you will see this spirit flee before your very eyes. Be encouraged the battle has been great, for the calling upon your lives is greatly significant. I love you!
