When Are You Due?

Recently I was taking care of some business, and I ran across a woman that was attending to some of my administrative needs. She is pregnant, and while she was working I asked her, when are you due? Saints, there are many of us that are pregnant in the Spirit. Pregnant with gifts, pregnant with callings, pregnant with anointing, pregnant with visions, pregnant with dreams; you are Spiritually Pregnant. And the question is, When Are You Due? This is a significant question because, in the natural, no woman is trying to be pregnant "indefinitely". There's a point of conception, and there's a point of birth. As the children of God, we need to have an idea of when the birthing time will take place. So I ask you again, When Are You Due?

The first question you need to raise is, Are You Due? There are some people that are not Due. They haven't "paid" their dues. They've been unfaithful, they've been disobedient, they've been self-centered, they've been self-serving, and they haven't submitted themselves to the Divine Will of God for their lives. For those of you who have been living in this state, your Due Date in the Spirit may not be determined yet. We must be honest with ourselves. Yes, all of us make mistakes, and yes all of us have room to grow. But you know in your spirit when you are on the path and doing what God has called and ordained you to do, for and during a particular season. So don't play games. Even when a woman doesn't "know" she's pregnant, at some point she begins to "show". Remember, a tree is known by the fruit it bears (Luke 6).

Then saints, there are "signs" of pregnancy. When a woman is about to give birth, her whole body changes. Her stomach is big because she's carrying a child. Her face is fatter because she's gained weight. Her appetite increases because she's "eating for two". She even experiences "morning sickness" because of the various complications that are naturally associated with a pregnancy. Such is the case when you are Pregnant in the Spirit. It's not going to be easy. As a matter of fact, the longer the duration of the pregnancy, the harder physically it gets. Such is the case in the Spirit. If things are getting harder, if you're being stretched even the more, it might be a "sign" that your Due Date is nigh. Don't mistake hardness for the absence of God or proper execution of authentic spirituality. This misconception is a mistake that we make that undermines our faith. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made a quote for which I totally concur, "the line of progress is never straight". If you've had some "curves and turns" in your spiritual journey as of late. If it seems like things aren't "straight" and you've gotten off course, you might be closer to your Due Date than you think.

Lastly saints, the scripture says, "in Due Season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6). A prophet recently shared with me a word they received from the Lord that said, and I paraphrase, "the measures are in place for the turnaround. But things won't be released until my people turn and seek My Face". Saints, unlike in the natural, you can Delay your Due Date. God will not deliver if things are not In Order. The Kingdom is all about Divine Order. Therefore, the answer to the question has a lot to do with are you ready for what God is ready to Birth? If not, then your Due Season could be protracted and delayed. And what I'm learning is, if you're not careful, you can actually be a victim of a Spiritual Miscarriage. You can lose what God has conceived to be birthed in and through you. Don't let this happen to you saints. Be diligent, be sober, be obedient and Turn, and in the Spirit you'll have discernment of When You Are Due.
