"Get Ready to Bounce Back!"
Andrew Towe, Chattanooga, TN
The Harder the Hit, the Higher the Bounce Back
One Sunday, while in corporate prayer with the intercessors from my church, I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Get ready to bounce back." He gave me a vision of a huge ball that was violently thrown to the ground with great force. It bounced off the pavement, causing the ball to soar high into the air. God spoke to me and said, "The harder the hit, the higher the bounce back."
Many of you reading this faced great opposition in 2018. Those very trials of resistance were setting you up for God's acceleration in your life that will be taking place in 2019.
The term "bounce back" is defined as "the act or an instance of bouncing back, recovering, recuperating, rebound, and a sudden spring or leap." The enemy's plan was to hit you so hard that there would be no breath left in you, so that you couldn't get back up. However, God is resuscitating you. He is breathing the breath of life into seemingly dead promises.
The Spirit of the Lord says to you, "You are not only going to bounce back, but you will ascend to a higher level because of the warfare that you have faced. That which was designed to destroy you, God is using to propel you to greater heights."
A Spring and a Leap
As I mediated upon the definition of "bounce back" I zeroed in on: "a sudden spring or leap." I heard the Lord say, "You will suddenly spring and leap ahead. No more delay. I will restore the years that have been lost. I will catch you up. You will recover all that was lost or stolen."(Photo via Unsplash)
Those who celebrated your downfall aren't prepared for your bounce back! The enemy didn't understand that when he incited the mob to call for Christ's death that he was actually fulfilling the plan of God. The devil was used as an instrument to execute God's plan to redeem man. He thought he had you down for the count, but God is causing that very conflict to catapult you to a higher elevation.
Get ready to bounce out of the low place, the hard place, and the painful place! You cannot stay down because God has pre-determined a bounce back for you! When God calls you up and declares, "It's your time," there is no person, no devil, and no attack that can keep you down.
Those Who Bounced Back
Take for example Paul. He was stoned, his lifeless body was then dragged out of the city by a volatile crowd who hated him. Howbeit, the disciples gathered around him and he got up and went back into the town (Acts 14:19-20). These killers must have been dumbfounded when Paul bounced back. Surely they asked themselves, "How could this be? They were heavy stones vigorously hurled at him." Paul didn't miss a beat. He departed the next day to... (continue reading)
