"In 'Audacious August' Be Bold, Courageous and Fearless"

     Recently I heard the Lord say, "Audacious August." So I looked up the word "audacious" to get more insight. I found that it means to be bold, courageous, risky, adventurous, fearless and unafraid. Of course the list goes on, but I felt that those few words pertained more to the word I received and to the move of this month.

New Lands and New Territories

     I felt the Lord saying that in this month there will be new avenues to adventure on. Some things He may lead you into could be risky; He may have you take a leap of faith or step out into the unknown. As you do, know that the Lord is with you. You will know it is the Lord leading you because it will be nothing like what you expected.

     Though there may be a bit of resistance and barriers that get in the way as you follow His leading and press through, you will see these things break open and you will break through. You are stepping into new lands and territories that you have waited a long time to step into. The enemy has come relentlessly over time to oppose and try to stop you from entering in for so, so long, but I felt strongly that the Lord, by His Spirit, is empowering you in strength like you have never known before, to do what you cannot do in your strength but in His strength—His empowerment.

     He is lifting you up higher to see the new things that He has prepared and planned that are coming through for you and are now just ahead. The things you did not expect, the things you didn't see coming and the things you didn't know He could do, He is going to do.

It is Time to Step Further into Your Call

     For many, it is time to step further into your calling and mantle. He has prepared you to walk into and handle the weight of the realms of influence He is calling you to.

     I heard this Scripture resound loudly in my spirit as I wrote this word out:

     "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.'" (1 Corinthians 2:9)

     The demonstration of the power of His Word is going to be so evident in your life. You will experience His kindness, His goodness, His provision, His favor and His love toward you as you see the demonstrative power of His Word manifest.

Expect the Unexpected

     The places and people that the Lord has prepared for you to align and connect with will be so unexpected and out of left field. I felt the Lord saying that you truly have no idea what He has prepared and planned for you. What He is bringing together for you is going to make up for all the pain, trials and disappointments from the last season.

     Many will be left wondering how you got there and how this happened. It is because of the favor of the Lord that is upon you. This is what is going to get you there. There will be nothing that you can do in your own strength or ability, but it will be in His, because of what He can do for you!
