It's Time to Make the Shift

Saints, we are in a season where God is shifting things. Last Sunday we experienced Daylight Savings Time and the clocks were moved one hour forward- a shift. Next week we'll move from the season of winter into the official season of Spring- a shift. Next Saturday represents the New Moon on the Hebrew calendar, representing the beginning of a new month-a shift. Next month we celebrate the Feast of Passover, which, according to Exodus 14, represents the "beginning of months"-a shift.

The God we serve is a God of Shifts, and if you're going to work for Him and work with Him, you have to be able to make the shift. This means that there are some changes that God is allowing to transpire in many of our lives that don't represent "the way things were" nor how things "used to be." A lot of times, it seems like nothing was wrong with the "old way." It seemed to work just fine and seemed to be in alignment with God's will for our lives. But God is doing a "new thing" (Isaiah 43), which means we have to make a shift.

I know it's not easy. Change is usually difficult and inconvenient. But God is sponsoring the changes and shifts to further facilitate our preparation for the New Move of God. When God releases His revival and restoration in the Earth, we're going to see things that we've never seen before (1Corinthians 2). So this means we're going to have to do some things that we've never done before (Joshua 3). 

Don't be discouraged, don't complain, ask God for the grace to make the necessary changes and shifts that the Spirit is leading you to make. It may not make sense right now, but don't worry about that. The God we serve is a God of Change, and He's a God that Divinely sponsors shifts in our lives to coincide with the shifts that He's ordaining in the heavens and the Earth. It's time saints, it's time to make the shift!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before You today asking You for the grace necessary to make the shifts that You are sponsoring in our lives. Father, if we've been guilty of complaining or murmuring or even giving up and being slothful, we ask Father that You forgive us. Encourage us, renew us and give us the spiritual stamina required to adjust to what You've divinely ordained for our lives. We love you Father and we say, not our will, but Thy Will be done. We give You all of the Praise, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
