"I'm too old to start anything new or fulfill God's purposes for my life now."
How it sounds in your head: You had your chance when you were younger. God uses young people with energy and time ahead of them. Your season is over—now you just wait for heaven. The world has moved on without you.
"And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."
-- Joel 2:28Enemy strategy:Age disqualification removes remaining years from Kingdom impact and steals the promise that God's purposes span all of life.
The mirror shows wrinkles, your friends' obituaries pile up, and every church program seems designed for younger women. Society worships youth and discards the elderly as irrelevant.
Sarah was 90 years old, postmenopausal for decades, physically impossible to conceive. God gave her Isaac INSTANTLY—she nursed a baby at 90 and laughed at the impossibility becoming reality.
I REFUSE the lie that my age disqualifies me from God's purposes. IT IS WRITTEN that old men dream dreams and God pours His Spirit on ALL flesh, including mine. I am Abraham's seed, heir according to the PROMISE, and the BARAK blessing doesn't have an expiration date. IT IS WRITTEN that Sarah conceived at 90—nothing is too hard for my God. I declare my latter days are MORE glorious than my former. I am a branch connected to the Vine, and fruit comes automatically at every age.
The Father is running toward you with a NEW dream specifically designed for your eighties, not leftovers from your youth. He's been PREPARING this—like the fattened calf—and your age is the QUALIFICATION, not the disqualification.
