In a prophetic message rooted in spiritual warfare and biblical truth, Amanda Grace is urging believers to shift their mindset, expand their vision and prepare for divine elevation. The enemy’s greatest battlefield is the mind, and it is there that destinies are either unlocked or denied.
“Every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” she says, stressing that unless the knowledge of God is exalted above all else, vision will be blocked.

The church is at a crucial crossroads—one that requires a mindset change to break free from narrow thinking. “The vision in the church is too narrow-minded,” Grace says. “In order for the Lord to expand your territory, He must first expand your vision.” But vision cannot expand unless the believer comes into agreement with what God is revealing.
The enemy knows this, which is why he targets the mind so fiercely. “If he can, in your mind, get you to exalt your problems, how you are feeling, he can get you in doubt,” she warns. “He has now gotten you to exalt your problem above the knowledge of God… and that is idolatry.”
Growth, both personal and corporate, demands discomfort. “Growth never happens when you’re comfortable. Greatness never happens when you’re comfortable,” Grace declares. Using the imagery of a mother eagle pushing her young from the nest, she illustrated how God often disrupts comfort to provoke growth. “She instinctively knows this… if she doesn’t push these babies that have now grown up out of the nest, they’re going to die.”
This principle applies not only to individuals but also to the church and the nation. A shift in mindset must happen at every level. “The mindset has to change to affect and expand the vision,” the speaker urged. “Submission is not comfortable. However, it’s necessary.”
Mindsets are spiritual magnets. They either draw demonic interference or divine resources. “That force will either… draw people to you who are stumbling blocks… or that force will draw people and resources to you that will help to elevate you,” Grace explains.
Grace further warned against entitlement and undisciplined stewardship. “If you are undisciplined in many areas of your life, it doesn’t matter how much God gives you, you’re going to squander it.” Instead, the believer must commit to growth through rootedness, discipline and faith. “You have to be willing to push your roots deeper in order to drive higher and higher towards the light.”
Finally, to break generational and cycles of bondage, repentance and mindset renewal are required. “Repentance is a re-engineering, a rewiring of your thinking that begins to disrupt the pattern of thinking,” says Grace. “You break the cycle, you break their power.”

God is calling His people to a higher standard—a renewed mind, a servant’s heart, and a warrior’s focus. “Power, love and a sound mind are a three-fold cord… difficult for demons to infiltrate when you are operating in all three.”
In this hour, the battle is raging in the arena of the mind. What we entertain, agree with, and meditate on shapes the trajectory of our lives and the authority we walk in. God is calling His people to renew their minds, to break the cycles of fear, trauma and compromise, and to align their thoughts with the truth of His Word.
