A New Season

It is time for us to recognize that, as we move forward, we have Shifted into a New Season. One of the biggest challenges, I believe, for many Christians is to identify and discern when God has made a Shift in the Season. I want to declare unto you today that this Seasonal Shift has come to pass. Many of you may be feeling like over the last few weeks, some things have changed in your life rather abruptly. This is not a coincidence. For all intents and purposes, things appeared to be going along rather smoothly. Then all of a sudden, "Bam", things changed. All of this doesn't mean that you were "doing something wrong". If you were (or are) the Holy Spirit is faithful to convict you of sin (John 16). But more than likely, the changes you've experienced are simply a sign of the fact that we are in A New Season.

When God shifts the Season, it becomes incumbent upon us to make the necessary adjustments to keep up with God. The God we serve is a God of Movement. He's not a stationary God. He's not a stagnant God. He's a Dynamic God, He's a Missionary God, and He's always on the Move. Therefore, as His children, we have to make sure that we're Moving right along with Him. This is why it's dangerous to get "settled" as a Christian. Regardless of the context; ministerially, relationally, vocationally, maritally, financially. As subjects of the King of kings and Lord of lords, God is apt to pronounce a Shift in any area of our lives at any moment for which He sees sovereignly fit. Therefore, it would behoove us to stay on our "spiritual toes" if you will.

The challenge in properly addressing A New Season is to assess accordingly what the New Season requires. When God Shifts into A New Season, there are some "new" and "different" things that He's requiring of us in order to stay in alignment with His Divine Will and Purpose for our lives. If we fail or refuse to make the necessary "shifts" in regard to the New Season that God is embarking upon, we can get left behind. But it just makes sense; no one (all things considers) wears shorts in the winter when it's 20 degrees. No one wears a fur coat and gloves in the summer when it's 80 degrees. Why? Because the attire is not conducive to the season. Such is the case in the Spirit Realm.

A prophet of God shared a revelation with me once that the Lord had given them. They shared that the Lord gave them a vision of walking down the street. The street was straight, and the prophet was right behind Him. Then all of a sudden the Lord turned the corner, and the prophet could no longer see the Lord. The lesson that the Lord was teaching was (and I paraphrase), make sure that you stay close enough behind me so that when I Shift and turn the corner, you can always keep Me in view. Now is not the time saints to lose sight of what the Lord is doing in our lives and in the earth. Make sure that you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the necessary adjustments that you need to make entering this New Season.
