Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

In the world of comic books, Superman had his place to retreat, the Fortress of Solitude. It was located near the North Pole, far away from the world's distraction and hectic pace. It was his secret place. I also have a secret, retreat place. It's a place to meet with a real-life hero, Jesus of Nazareth.

I used to call it "my cave", but it's not a place to escape from life, nor is it a hole in the ground. I don't run to it only when things go bad, or when I get wounded. When I'm there, I'm not in the dark. You see, it's a place filled with light. When I go there the atmosphere of Heaven surrounds me. It's where I find strength, strategies, and revelation. It's my high tower. It's my personal Fortress of Solitude.

A Kingdom Word For Those Who Would Receive It


I recently prophesied a word to a friend. I felt that most of the content was for others as well, so I asked Jesus for more. The following is what the Lord impressed me to share. It may seem distant from your present reality but lean into it anyways. He often speaks from eternal perspective, which is why it can sound disconnected from where your walk is at the moment. It may float in present tense and in future tense. These are observations of you from outside the bubble of time. Ask God to make this future reality collide with your present one. He will help you succeed with this because He really wants you to succeed.


∞∞∞∞∞∞∞


I have given you much so that you can be a giver to others. I have comforted you so that you can comfort others. I love you with passion so that you will pass on My passion to others.


Be encouraged. Keep pressing into My heart. I will open up the depths for you. As you spend time before me, I will cause you to explode on the inside with my resounding love song. I will echo resonantly and cause changes to happen in you from the inside out. You are my workmanship, my masterpiece. I will bring you to completion. I will refine and define you. That's my job. After all, a painting doesn't paint itself now, does it?


I delight in making you look good. I love watching my lambs roar like lions. My process in you gives me glory. It has thrilled me to watch you grow up. You started walking in your diapers, then gained confidence and began running. But when you fell, I caught you. I wiped away your tears, but then you broke away to run some more. As you grew, you learned how to scale mountains while humming songs, my favorite songs. You learned how to worship Me in everything you do. You learned the ways of My Kingdom of Love. You learned how to hum throughout the day. I watched and smiled as you grew in confidence. Wherever you went I was also with you. You included me in your life. You stopped pushing me away. We did everything together.


As we began to walk as one, you began to do great damage to the Kingdom of fear. Just as My perfect love casts out all fear, My love kingdom pushes out that fear kingdom. The soles of your shoes are filled with demon guts. You trample on enemy forces. You don't seek out confrontations, you just walk with me, as we sing songs. The enemy begins to scatter when they see you coming. They hate your songs. You have grown out of their influence and are becoming a direct threat to their strategies. Continue to worship me in everything you do and I will fight your battles.


As you spend time with me, I line up people for you to minister to. You minister out of overflow, sharing my light with those that need it. They are greatly affected by the light bouncing off you. When you were still before Me, I polished you so you would be my reflector. Every time you are still before Me, I do this. You see, I paint you from the inside out as you fill your mind with my word. Then I polish you so that my painting shines bright from your interior outward. You mirror my likeness.


My favorite sound of all is the yes coming from your lips. That one word is the sweetest symphony and serenade for my ears. You are learning to always say yes to Me, like I did to My father when I walked on Earth. This is holiness, My Shulamite.


Obey Me.


Reflect Me.
