MOVING TO A NEW SEASON

Transitional experiences mean that real change is taking place. Any transitional shift is hastened by three challenges: distress, loss and grief. Conquer these challenges and experience a high level of enjoyment as you celebrate MOVING TO A NEW SEASON!

The word distress means that you are in a tight place. Challenge the tight place by realizing that God has made you larger than any circumstance. God makes you more powerful in a constraining place. During transition, there might be loss. You will have to let go of some things. Supplies of the present cannot be a resource for the future. Let go of what isn’t working anymore. Grief will appear as toxic relationships are released. Refuse to allow your mercy gift to make you hold on to damaging relationships. Dealing with these experiences means you are seriously MOVING TO A NEW SEASON.

You will successfully get through this transitional season. Remember, it’s in the valley that God restores your soul. That which seems to begin as demise can result in a rebirth. Better days are just ahead. Mourning will end as the cycle of change continues by MOVING TO A NEW SEASON!

Declare A New Season

God doesn’t move with the calendar year, He moves in seasons. The Bible says, “To everything there is a season.” It doesn’t say, “To everything there is a year.”

Declare the beginning of a new season. It’s a “kairos” moment. “Kairos” is a Greek word for “a pivotal season.” A pivotal season is when something turns in your favor.  No more living in the brickyard of Egypt. Stop making, and burning, bricks for a kingdom you were never intended to enjoy.

God’s prophetic voice is defining a future so bright it will burn away the pain of yesterday. Remember, GOD’S WORD IS NOT PREDICTIVE; IT’S CREATIVE!

It only took four words to free the Hebrews from Egypt. “LET MY PEOPLE GO.” Those four words broke the power of years of servitude and defeat. They set an entire nation free. If God can do that, with only four words, for the Hebrews, He can do it for you!

His Word is the weapon used to break the grip of circumstances. Declare your freedom.  It’s about time,“kairos” time, and a pivotal season. Lift your voice and call for the unseen promise to manifest. Be encouraged!

The Gift Of Crisis

Crisis never seems like a gift; yet crisis comes to everyone. It usually grabs hold of us and shakes us until it has extracted every resource we possess. It’s just a matter of survival until the storm is over. Perhaps we should take another look at the elements of a crisis.

A common result of a crisis is that it generates movement on our part. It’s impossible to remain stationary. Someone said that in Chinese, the word "crisis" is made of two characters, one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. Danger produces anxiety, yet opportunity generates fresh energy and optimism. Therefore, crisis can be the early stages of a fresh, new season for your life. This new season is a gift from God.

God’s gift often ignites anxiety as well as optimism. He comes to birth a reversal to an impossible circumstance (Crisis). Our challenge is to embrace the crisis, dominate the circumstance, and separate the rubbish from the gift.  Now, celebrate the gift of a fresh new season of harvest as well as a resolved adversity. Receive God’s gift of a new season emerging in the midst of crisis.
