Where Are You?

As we continue to prepare for the Kingdom Movement that is going to hit the earth, it is imperative that we take the time to do Self-Inventory. Self-Identification is key as we continue to progress through this season. We are in the midst of a Season of Transition. I'm sure that for many of us, things seem to be changing in our lives right before our very eyes. Some things by consent, other things without our consent. Some things seem to be changing for our good, other things seem be turning out not so good (Romans 8). The reason these things are occurring at this time is because there is a Shifting taking place in the Heavens. A friend of mine described it as a "stirring" in the Heavens. As things continue to shift and stir in the Heavenly Realm, it's just a matter of time before this Heavenly Stir begins to manifest itself in the earth realm. The Father is giving us time to make the necessary adjustments, so that when He releases what He's ordained for the earth, His chosen and elect are prepared. For this reason we must be able to sufficiently answer the question, Where Are You?

This is the question we all need to be asking ourselves right about now; Where Are You? Where are you physically, in your body, in your health, in the consecration and sanctification of your temple unto the Lord? (Romans 12) Where are you in your soul; emotionally, psychologically, relationally? Where are you in your spirit? Is your faith operating at the level for which God has prescribed for you in this season? Do you have any lingering bitterness or unforgiveness that is affecting your spiritual growth and walk with God? Are you intense about your relationship with the Lord, or are you lukewarm and borderline indifferent? (Revelation 3) Where Are You? We need to be asking these questions now, because when the Judgment of God hits the earth, we won't have time to ask these questions. Judgment is report card time. Once the grade is issued, it's too late to re-take the test. So once again I ask, Where Are You?

This is the same question that God asked Adam when he disobeyed Him in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). God asked Adam, "Where art thou?" It was obvious that Adam was not where he was supposed to be because of sin. But look at the questions God raised to him according to Adam's various responses. "Who told thee thou was naked?" Watch the basis of your Self-Identification. God didn't argue with Adam's self-assessment, He questioned the source. "Hast thou eaten of the tree...?" Watch what you're digesting and internalizing in your mind, spirit as well as your body. We can't afford to make ourselves available to hear and watch everything, particularly that which God has forbidden.

Then Adam plays the blame game. Isn't it interesting that a lot of our issues in terms of Where We Are, at some level, involve a member of the opposite sex? Whether it's a spouse, a friend, a family member or an associate; a lot of times we tend to blame "where we are" on somebody else; and it's usually someone of the opposite sex. But remember, God "brought" Eve to Adam (Genesis 2). The Father knew how the story was going to go down; because a lot of times our interaction with the opposite sex tends to "expose" where we really are. Now is not the time saints to make excuses. Let us gird up the loins of our mind, let us be sober and vigilant, and let us allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to truthfully, Where Are You?
