We are assigned the task of serving as a bridge for some to reach the other side. Do not regret your anointing to assist another in overcoming affliction. Their reaching the other side of troubled waters may depend solely on your assistance. You were given a divine rope to weave a bridge to assist other people to reach their deliverance. Although, once delivered, they may move on and not remain in your camp.
Do not regret your assignment of assistance. The divine rope is given to you for weaving bridges for the deliverance of people, known and unknown. It is like planting a tree; we do not cut down a tree that gives us fruit, because we no longer live on the land. Allow the tree to feed others who may pass on their journey, or dwell in the land for their time of need. The same is true for the building of a bridge. Why tear it down because you have no more need for it? There will be others making the journey, which you have paved a road for them to follow. Allow the bridge to remain, that others may cross over without delay.
When you cross a bridge that you did not build, be thankful for the passage that was left by those who preceded you on the journey. For another’s assignment allowed you to draw from their anointing. We may not know the names of those who built the bridges that we will one day cross. Their bridge building assignment became our gift of healing that God used to uphold us. (Isaiah 41:10)
There will be tasks that are too large for any one person to accomplish. That is why God gives each of those that HE anoints, their own power of anointing. This prevents those who follow from stepping in the same holes or canyons, as past generations. They just cross over without much thought given to those who previously paved the way.
When God leads us into our assignment, do not constantly look back to see if a sign paying tribute to our work has been erected. The proof lies in the number of people that crossed a path that we have built. At such a point in life, it is not about you, it is more about the calling on your life. A general sign of a divine destiny or anointing is when there are forces trying to stop you from completing your assignment. When you are not a threat to the enemy, he waste very little time on stopping you.
It is not for us to acquit the guilty or condemn the innocent, for the Lord detests them both, (Proverbs 17:15). Knowing the difference is recognizing what comes with confirmation or what comes with confusion. Those throwing you into confusion will have to pay the penalty. (Galatians 5:10) Do not attempt to explain truth to those who are committed to misinterpretation and devoted to lies. This is a way that God hides us and protects HIS children from wicked alliances. HIS children understand that a bad taste or smell is warning of a potential danger, like rotten food or smoke. They avoid dissension from those who seem to have a problem with every favorable resolution. “Truth is never as painful as discovering a lie.” We do not sacrifice our joy to keep negative people around us, happy. When there is no balance, we have to examine our relationships. It may be better to break free without closure, and move on with the knowledge that God said, there is better ahead.
