DISTRACTIONS! They will come! We must be diligent in working against them and not with them. I knew where I was going; my map was accessible, and my eyes fixed on the road. Exit 64 was my exit. However, there was an obese DISTRACTION sitting in the passenger seat. When I picked up my map, I realized that I had missed my doorway (my exit).

As I was approaching Exit 7, I got off on Exit 7 and needed to visit the restroom. Dingy! Dirty! Unsecured! One bathroom for everyone (male and female) to occupy! I instructed my sons to WATCH! Be Attentive! LOOK carefully around! After I finished using the restroom, we were going to get back on the road and go back towards our original destination. Suddenly, two large figures hurried in front of me and got stuck on the ramp – just lollygagging around.

DISTRACTIONS! PUSH! You can’t stay here – PUSH THROUGH!

These words resounded as I awaken to a quiet house and begin to pray. The Holy Ghost instructed me to call my sons together for this exhortation:

You will not surrender to being STUCK in this season. Not on my watch! PUSH THROUGH these obese demons that block your path. Your wrestle is not against flesh and blood; what you can see, hear, taste, smell, and touch. Your wrestle is against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places. You will not succumb to the ruler of ignorance!

My job as the matriarch of this family is to ASSIST you. I place my hands on your buttocks and PUSH! You will not get comfortable on this exit of completion (Exit 7). Rise! Elevate your mind! Repent! Get back on the path to your purpose, your God-ordained destination (Exit 64)!

PUSH THROUGH! You will pursue and achieve – PUSH THROUGH!

You will not surrender to being STUCK in this season. Not on my watch!
