 You are now able to gain some ground in your battle to go forward, but you must establish yourself and be strengthened in that position. Don't get cocky and presumptuous; pride goes before a fall. The progress that you are about to make will be challenged mightily, and you will be tempted to give up and decide that gaining this ground is too difficult and too costly. However, if you will continue to move ahead steadily with strong faith, meeting every challenge head on, this new position will become a stronghold against the enemy that he will never again be able to penetrate. Be strong and of good courage, for victory is assured.

 Choose your battles carefully and wisely. You already know that your battles are not against flesh and blood, but against wickedness in the spirit realm. Be diligent to keep that perspective.
Watch for the temptation to engage in power struggles and defend your own position, for this is foolishness. I have called you to contend for the faith and not defend yourself. You will also be tempted to take on the offense of other people and enter into their battles with them when it is not your business to do so. So, I say to you, refrain. Also, remember: He who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself; do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Stay clean and be clear in your motives and purposes, and only be led by the Spirit.

 Children, rise up out of the trap of comparing yourselves one to another. This will only cause you to open the door to a haughty spirit, and you will have a false sense of success or failure. Have you not read that measuring yourselves among yourselves is not wise? Be done with insecurity and of trying to prove your worth through fleshly achievement. Glory in the Cross that has made you worthy of salvation. Set yourself in humility to do only what I have called you to do without thought of self­promotion or self­abasement, for truly this is a place of deception and torment.

 Hear My voice as I call you forth into excellence. Today, I call you out of compromise and complacency that you might go forth with an excellent spirit that will bring glory and honor to My kingdom. For, I tell you honestly that those who go down to Egypt and walk with the worldly bring a reproach to My name and discredit My kingdom. Reach now to the excellence of Jacob, the generation that seeks My face.
Philippians 3:7­14 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suf ered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suf erings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

  I had a vision of someone driving a car and getting out of control by turning the steering wheel too far in going around curves in the road, and I heard the Lord say, because of a fear of getting off course you are overcorrecting. Yes, some corrections are necessary to keep you on the path, but they are small adjustments. This is a matter of discipline. Evaluate your position in the light of truth and not according to your emotional reactions, and you will be able to rectify your situation and bring balance and order to what looks like irretrievable loss and failure. Do not be afraid. I am with you to guide you, and I will bring you to your desired destination if you will only yield to My leading.
