Lengthen and Strengthen

Lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes ~ Isaiah 54:2

These two phrases--lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes--have to coincide because when God gives you a prophetic word or a promise about your life, your next step needs to be to go deeper with God than you've ever gone before, because the enemy's next step will be to try to steal that word or promise through a spirit of fear, condemnation, or insecurity. It's at those times that you need to dig a little deeper, cinch up your belt of Truth a little tighter, and pray God's Word a little harder, so that you can fight off the attacks of the enemy.

God has promised to do great things in your life, but as He's done so, the enemy has vowed not to let them happen and he will stop at nothing to try to steal those things from you. You need to be determined to hold fast, stand firm, and strengthen your stakes so that the promises of God will come to pass in your life.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7
