ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE FALLOUT?
You want to know what you are dealing with right now?
I kept hearing the word “fallout.”
fall·out
/ˈfôlˌout/
1) radioactive particles that are carried into the atmosphere after a nuclear explosion or accident.
2) the adverse side effects or results of a situation.
This is the after-effects of an intense battle season.
The smoke is now clearing, and you are looking around, feeling overwhelmed by the mess and debris.
The swirl is dissipating.
The last few years have been rife with confusion, double-mindedness, and foggy thinking because of the witchcraft sent at you.
In this space, it’s hard to make the right decisions, and it’s difficult to know which way is up. It’s the perfect storm to create some Ishmaels, walk in the wrong direction, and let down your guard to all kinds of things.
So, ending 2025, many are seeing clearly again but dealing with the FALLOUT…
When we think of that word, we normally think of it regarding a sin. For instance, Adam and Eve were dealing with the fallout from sin that separated them from the garden. Or David, who was dealing with the fallout of adultery. But what I’m feeling this week is more focused on the fallout that comes after dealing with extended warfare.
A great example of this might be Job, because many people have even said, “This year has been a Job year for me.” It’s been a year of feeling like I lost everything, and I don’t know what I did to deserve it.
Many people have been feeling a deep emotional lull right now, in the heaviness of having to now clean up the mess internally from all of the things that happened externally.
And there are even a lot of things in the natural that need to be cleaned up and worked through as well.
But another great example would be when David and his men were robbed at Ziklag, and his men became soul-sick and wanted to stone David.
And so yet again, they were dealing with the emotional battle - or fallout from warfare. And David knew the only way he could deal with that was to strengthen himself in the Lord.
And I believe right now many people are feeling that emotional lull. They’re feeling that sense of heaviness, the…“I’ve got to deal with this, I’ve got to deal with that problem. It’s the beginning of a new year, and I have to walk through this situation, and that predicament, and on top of all of that, I need to deal with my heart and my soul state, because I’m feeling congested spiritually and emotionally.”
If that’s you, hear me, the enemy is working overtime to make you feel like a failure right now and make you feel disqualified before you even step into a new year.
It’s guilt, condemnation, and feeling swindled by the enemy, but it’s baiting you into fear, self-judgement, and mental torment. STOP IT!
The thief must repay. That means even the things the enemy led you into. You won’t fall for it again, so stand tall now and watch God LEAD YOU OUT!
And I hear the Lord saying over someone today, “Watch now as I untangle you from the messes you have been in and set your feet on a secure path.”
And I also keep hearing the Lord say, “All you are seeing are the broken pieces, but if you give them to Me, I will RESTORE you better than you started.”
So this week, don’t fall apart. Give Jesus the pieces. Give Him the anxiety and end this year at His feet and strengthen yourself in His ability to do what you can’t.
