THE RECALIBRATION OF OUR VISION FOR 2025 AND BEYOND.
WRITE DOWN THE VISION.
THE VISION IS THE LORD’S ARCHITECTURAL REVELATION FOR LIVING AND REPRESENTATION OF DIVINE INTENT. THE VISION IS BEYOND THE MINDSET OF JUST DOING.
TO US, DOING IS THE RESULT OF A WELL FORMED AND REALIGNED LIFE INTO THE IMAGE AND LIKELINESS OF CHRIST. OUR DOING MUST ALWAYS BE CHECKED OUT FROM THE STATE OF OUR BEING. ITS FROM THE ORDER THAT DOING FOLLOWS.
WHEN VISION IS DEFINED FROM THE PLACE OF DOING WITHOUT A YIELDING TO THE REVELATION OF INTENT, THEN THAT SPEAKS TO A DISCONNECT FROM DIVINE ARCHITECTURE. THAT TELLS US THAT WE ARE NOT TRULY HEALED AND REFORMED. THAT TELLS US THAT WE ARE INTO THE MINISTRY OF FIG LEAVES.
IT MEANS WE ARE NOW SEEKING TO USE OUR WISDOM, STRENGTH, AND RESOURCES TO TRY TO OFFER OURSELVES SO KINDS OF FULFILLMENT WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE.

It has long been established that the environment plays a significant role in shaping human behavior and productivity. However, what science might overlook or choose to disregard is the powerful influence of what or who the Bible refers to as the Prince of the power of the air on societal environments.
This Satanic Prince dispatched over a nation's atmospheric realm is tasked with observing, overseeing, managing, and directing nations through various well-structured, hierarchical systems of Satanic governance. Each hierarchical power structure serves a distinct purpose within its designated mandate over a nation or populace. Yet, the successful execution of their missions hinges on the principality or Prince governing that specific region.
The societal environment plays a significant role in shaping our identities without our awareness. When a child is born, they possess a powerful, transformative leadership vision. However, the environment soon introduces various negative influences that target the child's spirit and soul, aiming to change the child's worldview.
Those who are unaware of the operating power of the stronghold of the power of the air can subtly seep into their subconscious and reshape the very core values of their identity and assignment. According to scripture, the PRINCE OF THE AIR is tasked with modifying, redefining, and imposing restrictions on individuals so that they yield to the temptations of darkness.
Through the influence of darkness, the environment shapes situations that are perceived as commonplace occurrences. Consequently, we internalize these situations, leading to self-imposed limitations.
Numerous individuals, including inexperienced followers of Christ or church attendees, have underestimated the impact and sway of their surrounding environment to their detriment. The spiritual frailty and constraints evident in the lives of many Christians are closely connected to how they have succumbed to the influence of their environment.
The environment holds the ability to influence vision, aspirations, and even one's sense of self; however, it doesn't have to have control over you if you understand your spiritual identity and kingdom authority.
DO YOU HAVE A GOD-GIVEN VISION FOR YOUR LIFE. INTRODUCTION.
There's a prevalent tendency to prioritize self-actualization and personal development over submission to God's method and will. This approach neglects the fundamental truth that our true purpose is rooted in our relationship with God and His kingdom, not in our seemingly individual skills, capabilities or endeavors. Pursuing purpose through a humanistic lens inevitably leads us astray from our authentic calling in Christ.

The Two Aspects of Our Relationship with God
In Christianity, our relationship with God can be understood through two key aspects. The first aspect is what God promises to do for us—His divine commitments to guide, protect, and provide for us and this can mean several things beyond our imagination. The second aspect focuses on what God expects from us—our responsibility to know, understand, and act according to His will. These two aspects form the foundation of a Christian life, interweaving God’s grace with our obedience and faithfulness.
However, living out our part of this covenant relationship has become increasingly challenging due several facts that stems from ignorance, laziness, and the challenge from the forces of darkness in seeking to present us. We find ourselves in an environment that is spiritually toxic and highly infectious. Secular humanism and distorted religious beliefs, often masquerading as true Christianity, dominate much of today’s culture. These false ideologies and diluted forms of faith can confuse and mislead believers, making it difficult to hold fast to genuine Christian values and teachings.
The purpose of this cultural toxicity is clear: to neutralize, desensitize, and paralyze anything that promotes spiritual growth and maturity in the Lord. We are living in a time where God’s prophetic purposes face unprecedented opposition. Never before has the intent of God for His people been so fiercely attacked, as the enemy works tirelessly to undermine believers’ faith and disconnect them from their divine purpose.
Amidst this spiritual struggle, fasting stands out as a powerful tool to help Christians regain focus, clarity, and strength. Fasting provides an advantage, giving us the opportunity to maintain spiritual sensitivity, drive, and passion, which are essential for staying aligned with God’s will. It acts as a countermeasure against the cultural forces that seek to distract us, allowing us to remain firmly on the path God has set for our lives.
A fast that is focused on spiritual growth and maturity allows us to engage with and confront the toxic culture around us. In a world that tries to pull us away from our calling in Christ, fasting helps us resist these influences and stay true to our purpose. It empowers us to recalibrate our lives, bringing us back into alignment with God’s intentions.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING IN ENGAGING THE SEASONS AHEAD!
God is a Spirit, and by implication, everything He is and represents is spiritual. This truth highlights that we cannot approach Him or attempt to understand, relate, or commune with Him through merely physical or intellectual means. Jesus emphasizes in John 4:24 that "God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." This means that our service, worship, and relationship with God must transcend the natural human condition or feelings.
Our journey is one led by the Spirit, where we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through divine instructions as we seek to please the Father. As believers on the Portalsgate, we are called to follow the promptings of the Spirit as the seasons of the Lord unfold in our lives.
The Word of God teaches us to worship the Father in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), which includes times of fasting. Our fasting is, first and foremost, an act of worship, and it must be done in accordance with the Spirit of truth and righteousness. We are reminded in Matthew 6:16-18 that fasting is a private act between us and God, and it should be done with sincerity, not for public recognition.
The Call to Consecration and Rededication
There is a present call for us to seek the Lord in recognizing His prophetic agenda for our lives and the regions we have been entrusted with. As priests of God's Kingdom (1 Peter 2:9), we represent heaven on earth, and this mission begins with personal consecration. A season of fasting provides the perfect opportunity to rededicate ourselves fully to the Lord in prayer. Through this time of consecration, we align ourselves with God’s divine will, preparing ourselves for the responsibilities He has placed upon us.
A Time of Seeking Salvation and Reflection
This season invites us to turn deliberately to the Lord, seeking His salvation for the next chapter of our journey. Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." In fasting, we turn our whole being—spirit, soul, and body—toward the Father in love, reflecting on His goodness and renewing our commitment to Him. It is a time of refreshing, where we are reminded of the prophetic call over our lives and the direction in which the Lord is leading us.
Hearing the Voice of the Lord More Clearly
Fasting sharpens our spiritual sensitivity, allowing us to hear God’s voice more clearly. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." In moments of uncertainty or confusion, fasting becomes a powerful catalyst for spiritual renewal, transformation, and restoration. As we set aside distractions and focus on God, His voice will become more distinct, guiding us toward empowerment and clarity in His will.
Calibration and Spiritual Competence
This period of fasting is an opportunity for many of us to be calibrated or recalibrated in our spiritual walk, aligning ourselves with the intentions of the Lord. Romans 12:2 encourages us not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we may discern God’s perfect will. Through fasting, we grow in spiritual maturity, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We ascend higher in our calling, empowered by the Spirit to carry out the divine assignments given to us.
