Confident Of The Outcome

The curtain rising on equipping insight may come in a dream. Recently a friend had a dream that laid out priorities for dealing with an attack.  As she was being shot at on the way to her car in a parking lot, she never stopped walking toward her assailant and she simply deflected the bullets with her hands as she kept moving. Three equipping strategies came from the dream:  1) Do not allow the enemy to determine the rules of engagement.  She did not respond with the weapon he chose.  Instead she responded with a supernatural tactic.  2) Though the attack is personal, don’t lose time and momentum by feeling like a victim.  She did not run or hide to become the hunted.  3) Wield your supernatural authority offensively, deflecting and defeating every obstacle between you and your goal. We are about to grasp equipping that produces confidence.   Confidence comes when we realize the enemy does not get to decide the rules or the outcome and neither will statistics or the odds determine the outcome.  Equipped as mature sons, we can go into battle fully confident of the outcome.  She woke up rehearsed and equipped.  The follow-up challenge, of course, is to walk out that equipping and watch God happen.
