You Should Be Bitter

About a month ago a wrote a blog, “It’s Locked. Now What?” In the blog, I told you about a gate in the spirit realm that I didn’t know how to unlock.

Great news! The very day I shared the blog, I started to receive the key to unlock the gate. I was quite stunned how it all came together. Very quickly, Holy Spirit handed me the revelatory pieces I needed to create a court case I could present before heaven so that I could use the key I’d been given to unlock the gate.

Now that the gate is unlocked, I feel somewhat frozen. I don’t know how to move forward. And, to make matters worse, there is a frequency coming from inside of the gates. “You should be bitter,” it says. The loud frequency booms out at me, aiming to shake my core and constantly reminding me of the challenging journey it’s taken to get to this moment. It’s as if every dark frequency within the gates is working overtime to upend my progression forward.

Battling the dark frequencies projected at my heart and soul feels like a full-time job. The energy is persistent. My spirit has to keep reminding my soul that she is only hearing lies from the kingdom of darkness. “Those are lies. They are projections. They are not true. The enemy does not want us to advance at all. Soul, we have to stay close to Holy Spirit right now. You must allow me to lead while we follow him. I know this is tougher than you anticipated it to be, but we will get through this part of the journey.”

As I stand inside the walls of the gates, I feel a little foolish. This morning, I told my sister, “We should’ve asked more questions before we unlocked the gate. We should’ve asked Holy Spirit what to expect on the other side. I could see and hear glimpses of what was coming, but we should’ve sought him out in a deeper way about this contention.” She reminded me, “We did ask and maybe we could’ve done more, but we’re always learning and growing. We will push through this knowing and understanding more.”

It's true. I could’ve asked more. Of course, even if I did, I don’t know if Holy Spirit would’ve given me the full answer. I believe he wanted me to learn this in real time. He’s so assured with where he’s taking everything. He’s so confident of the path we’re on. It’s not a question to him. It’s a solution.

So, forward we go through the gates and into maybe more than my soul is asking for. In it all, I am confident that a deeper level of intimacy is required to see the spiritual manifestation of glory we are seeking. And so, I will press into him for more.
