I woke up this morning hearing the words, “BOUNDARY LINES NOT BATTLE LINES”. My first thought was this has something to do with nations, so I start researching boundary lines in scripture to see what the Lord is saying, the couples verses that stuck out to me were, Acts 17:28 “He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appropriate times and boundaries of their habitation”; and Dueteronomy 32:8 “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.” God loves national boundaries, He set them for a reason and Proverbs 22:28 is crystal clear when it says, “Do not move the ancient boundary.”

I know I have biblical precedence for what I heard waking up, but what is God trying to say to me, this I did not know. I spoke to a friend this morning and she said you may not know what that means for you, but that was a confirmation for me as God is having me draw boundary lines right now. I thought yes, I can hear that for you and see that and celebrate that, but what is God saying? Was it personal boundaries, could be, but it felt like national boundaries to me, so I have been sitting on this all day. Then I am driving home minutes ago and a news alert pops up on my phones and says, “China and Russian nearing a cooperation agreement for Ukraine.” Immediately the Lord said, “Boundary Lines Not Battle Lines, I am setting national boundary lines not drawing battle lines, there is no war coming.”

I do not usually get these kinds of words, but I know the Lord was clear they are not drawing battle lines, but boundary lines, so I am not sure all that is going to look like, I just know what the Lord said. All this fear based talk of war is media propaganda, it is not what is really happening, so fear not, the report of the Lord is, “boundary lines not battle lines.”
