Prophetic Vision for Battle Preparation

To effectively plan and prepare for the battles ahead, it is essential to seek a prophetic vision from God. This vision is the version of yourself that God reveals, which may differ significantly from your current self.

• Definition: The prophetic vision is the future self that God shows you, which you may not yet recognize or have encountered.

• Contrast with Current Reality: It often stands in stark contrast to your present circumstances, perceptions, and experiences.

• Illusions of Reality: Your behavior and environment may deceive you, obscuring the truth of who you are meant to be.

God, introduce me to a me that I haven’t met yet. The me that You created me to be. In Jesus' name, Amen.
