Summary
The message emphasizes that true security and protection from the enemy come only from having the Lord as one's ultimate desire, surpassing all earthly ambitions or desires. The speaker cautions against serving any idol, including the desire for human honor, which can lead to spiritual injury and backsliding. Ultimately, one's calling is to fulfill their God-given ministry, whether it is healing, bearing fruit, or providing new wine, rather than seeking to rule over others.
