As I was praying this morning, I saw a small stream of water, and I heard these words, “Do not settle.”

I looked further down the stream, and I saw the stream turn into a giant river of flowing water. I knew the Lord was telling me to not settle for the small stream, but to wait for what God has for me because it will be much bigger and much better.

I then saw a house that was built on sand. It looked old and run down. I heard a whisper. “Do not settle.”

My eyes were opened, and I saw a giant house that was built on solid ground. I knew the Lord was saying, “Don’t settle for less than what I have for you.”

I saw a man walking towards me with bandages wrapped all around him. I knew he was sick and in pain. I heard that whisper again. “Do not settle.”

Suddenly the bandages disappeared, and the man was completely healed and whole! I knew the Lord was saying, “What I have for you is better. Don’t settle for just feeling better. Pray for total and complete healing and I will do it!”

I was greatly encouraged! Yes! We should never settle for less than what God has for us!

So, why do we do it? Why do we settle for less when God wants us to have nothing but the best? Why do we think we deserve less than the best?

The answer is simple. Our enemy whispers lies to us. He berates us – beats us down over and over again until we believe the lies that we are not good enough for God’s best.

It is a pattern that gets repeated again and again throughout our life unless we overcome it. And we can overcome it. Let me say it another way – YOU can overcome it!

All you need to do is ask Jesus to help you overcome these things, and He will guide you out of that miry pit.

You are worth more than the most precious gems. You are a son or a daughter of God, and you are worthy to be loved. He doesn’t want you to settle for second best. So, ask Him today what that looks like for you.

I continued to pray into this because I knew Jesus had a message for us. As I was praying, I found myself standing by that stream of water that turned into a giant river. Jesus was there, and He had a big smile on His face!

My heart leapt with joy because I knew He had an encouraging word for us. He said, “Too many of My children settle for second best. They settle for less than what they are worth. I was crucified so they wouldn’t have to settle – so they could spend eternity with Me if they choose it.

I only want what is best for each of you – yet you do not seek it. You have been deceived by your enemy. He doesn’t want you to step into the fullness of life I have for you.

I give you dreams and visions of things I want you to do, and the enemy steps in and steals it away from you.

DO NOT LET HIM!

You have the power and authority to bind up the lies he speaks to you. You have the power and authority to send him back to the abyss.

Seek Me for this. Allow Me to teach you how to do this. Strip him of his power over you. He only does it because he knows you are not walking in My power and authority. Change it! Flip the enemy on his head! Walk in the power and authority you have in Me.

This is one of the reasons so many are suffering today. This is why your enemy has such a stronghold over all the earth. My children don’t know their true authority.

I have given you power over the enemy – use it!

This fog of lies the enemy has you in has caused you to believe that second best is good enough – so you settle – thinking you will never be good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough to have the best.

I created you, and I did not make any mistakes in your creation! You are good enough, you are smart enough, and you are beautiful!

Come out from under the fog of lies the enemy has convinced you to believe.

We are headed to great and wonderful days, and you are needed – what I have placed within you is needed.

DO NOT SETTLE! Ask Me, and I will show you what not settling looks like. Prepare to be amazed – for what I have for you is blessings beyond what you could ask or think!”

Thank You, Lord! Wow, we need to get this one deep down inside of us. I’m sure every single time we settle for less, it grieves the Lord because we are not meant to have less than what He has for us. And what He has for us is abundance!

Ephesians 3:20-21 – “Now to him who is able to do abundantly more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Matthew 6:9-10 – “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

We need to call it down on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen! God wants the best for every single one of us. We lost sight of this a long time ago, and it’s time to get God’s vision back because what He has for us is so much better than we can imagine!

With all that we are experiencing right now, it’s important for us to no longer settle for less. We did that in the past. We have had to settle for less over and over again because our enemy doesn’t want us to be successful. He doesn’t want us to thrive, or to be happy. So, we have had to settle for less in many areas of our lives.

Don’t do it. Not anymore! This is our year. This is our time to shine like never before.

You are loved by Your Creator – and He only wants the best for you. Rebuke the enemy, command him to leave in the name of Jesus’ and walk in abundance.

Choose to no longer settle for anything less than what God has for you because you are worth it.

In His love,
Kathy
