The Lord has been saying over and over again that many of His faithful children will be taken to a new level in July. He has also been warning us that the enemy will push hard against us because we’re about to move to the next level, and He’s given us strategies to overcome the enemy’s attacks.
On the second day of July, I had a pivotal, life-defining encounter with Him. Suddenly I was soaring in the spirit, so light and free. I was on a giant eagle, rising higher and higher. Jesus was soaring next to me on another giant eagle, the wind in His hair and He was laughing with joy. He took me over a citadel and showed me that He’s taking some of us higher up in the spirit than ever before. Through intimacy with Him, there will be new levels of prophetic insight + foresight, a new level of accuracy + authority. A new way of seeing + doing things, not as “how things were done before” or “what is expected”, but led solely by Holy Spirit, according to THRONE ROOM revelation. And I heard this song He sang over me, “Will you trust ME and soar with Me?”
Before I do the impartation for breaking through to the next level, the Lord said it was very important that I first speak about stewarding the move of God before I release it. Because He is not just interested in a visitation but a habitation, not just the gifts but how to sustain them so they bless us and don’t crush us.
In the coming season, His emphasis is on walking with Holy Spirit.

These 3 things will be very important when it comes to walking with Holy Spirit:
1. PRAYER. A constant connection to our Father, apart from whom we can do nothing. Many of us have not reached the point where we live with such bold faith that we would certainly fail apart from God, but the next level will bring us there. He is taking us to a place of such extravagant favor + opportunity that we would be unable to carry the load unless we remain deeply rooted in Him. We must resolve to commit to press deep into Him, or we will remain where we’re at and not advance.
2. INTIMACY. Getting so close to Jesus, as close as our softest breath. The lovers will always outdo the workers, because if one gave his life for love he would count it as nothing. God is looking for His laid-down lovers who would drop everything to say a broken, “Yes, Lord” to Him. We must not confuse anointing/gifting with intimacy — God gives me gifts to show His love to the world through me, but intimacy is a depth of a knowing between just Him and me that takes time to build. Jesus said that in the last days, many would say “Lord didn’t we do deliverance, prophesy in your name…?” and Jesus will say, “Away from Me, I never knew you.” It is very possible to be flowing in all the spiritual gifts and yet not know/be known by God. Pursue His heart, not his hand. Pursue His kingdom, and everything else will be added to you.
3. DEPENDANCE. These are the days where we need Holy Spirit more than ever. We need His wisdom, His comfort, His power, and for Him to move hearts the way no human being could. We need to partner with Him in everything that we do, and that requires us to become dependant. Dependance means acknowledging our need of Him, inviting Him to come in and take charge in every area, and trusting in Him by obeying instantly whenever He speaks. Too many in our generation have adopted “conditional obedience” into their walk with God, obeying only when it’s easy or convenient — God is either Lord of all, or not Lord at all.
I have been more serious than usual in my dealings with some of you because I feel the urgency of the Lord for us to get in step with Him. I speak all this in love and earnestly desire that we would all be brought deeper into His heart. He has so much good stored up for us this month and in the months to come, and I pray that all of us would be found ready to receive it when He opens those doors.
Praying for every heart reading/watching this today!

Amen amen amen!! I receive it!!!
Yes! For the past month I’ve felt Him challenging me to trust where it is that He guides me. This is an encouraging reminder, to not only keep drawing nearer to Him and deepening my relationship with Him, but especially to act immediately when He says to. Thank you for these words!
Thank you for posting this. We are all in a time that we need to strive harder to grow closer to God. Things are changing and more people are trying to keep God out. We need to work hard to keep Him in!
I have to second everything Samantha said. I am in a season of trusting, of stepping deeper into the waters. Thank you for the encouragement! Visiting from #underthelinktree.
I think God’s gettin (or tryin to get me to) me to trust Him more 🙂
We all can use a little more dependency on the Lord. Without Him we would have nothing. Thank you for sharing this encouragement with Thankful Thursdays, Samantha.
Dependency is so crucial. I keep finding myself drifting back to my own power instead of leaning on His. And then everything goes kablooie. I need to remember that apart from Him, I can do nothing FOR Him.
Being dependent on Him is so important; how else would we survive the attacks from the enemy?
A discerning spirit that focuses on prayer and God’s word is the best way to ride through these troubled seas. Love how the Holy Spirit will guide us, if we let him.
