Transition requires change, facilitated by frustration

I vividly recall years ago. I was at my lowest. Whatever could go wrong in my life was indeed going wrong. It was almost as if my enemies were standing in line, just waiting for their opportunity to take a shot at me.

I was feeling quite frustrated that day. For anyone who hasn't experienced it yet, prolonged frustration can take a toll, leading to intense emotional pain and even bitterness if we don't try to view things from a more positive angle.

The most challenging part of my experience with frustration wasn't that my enemies were relentless in their attacks against me. Instead, it was my repeated cries to God that seemed to go unheard. Also, I knew deep in my heart that I should have been much further in life than I was at that moment. The best way I can describe it is like being in a prison cell, where all the beautiful things I wanted to do and achieve in life are laid out before me. However, because of visible and invisible restrictions and limitations, I couldn't break free or participate in what I knew was a better life, which seemed to be waiting for me impatiently.

To make matters worse, my life seems to be programmed to repeat the same cycle of fruitlessness, not to mention the myriad of friends who were quick to give their version of my ongoing saga, despite all that I have mentioned. I was completely unaware that I was in TRANSITION for the better! The reality is that it should not matter whether God responds to our cries or not if our trust is unconditionally embedded in Him. After all, He knows the end of all beginnings, which also includes our transitions.

The word transition is defined as a "change" from one state or place to another. However, during that transition, your life will likely be turned upside down with no sign of human or spiritual help. The reason for this, as I have found, is that "CHANGE" is the only necessary component for a transition. In other words, there can be no transition without the act of change on the part of the person undergoing it. This required change is almost always triggered and directed by frustration. It is through frustration that you become so fed up with the same old, fruitless, non-productive routine of people, places, and things that you then, and only then, embrace the change needed to transition to your next, which you probably would have ignored under normal circumstances.

Your life might be feeling a bit turned upside down right now, and that's often a sign that substantial changes are on their way. God has a way of guiding us through transitions, even when it feels challenging. Looking back, I realize that the ways I used to think and act would have held me back today. If I had resisted those changes out of frustration, I might have missed out on growth. So, consider this: your frustrations might actually be gentle nudges from God, softly telling you, "Get ready for a new chapter in your life because I am about to lead you into something better."

"Embrace the change for your transition that will be administered by frustration."

What you're doing now will tell on you later

While it may seem as if absolutely nothing is happening for you, and it appears to be business as usual. Know for sure that the same God who has promised his children that "ALL THINGS" must work for their good, is silently working behind the scenes ensuring that all things will do just that and that is, work for your good!

While you may not appreciate it now, in short order, you will be thanking God for this commonly used word: "seasons." That's right, those who are opposing you and are continually unfair to you. This is indeed their season, and what they're doing now will determine what will be done to them in the future! But make no mistake, as sure as night follows day, your season of restoration and uninterrupted favor is on the horizon, quickly approaching, as long as you continue to do what is right in your current season of what appears to be fruitlessness.

While others may only focus on seasons as a time of flourishing, it is a time of planting what you desire now to ensure the kind of harvest or reaping you want during your future seasons.

In other words, even though this is not your season of plenty, fairness from others, opportunities, etc., this should not discourage you from continuing to plant the seeds of being fair to others, giving, forgiving, helping, etc. Again, it will be what you're planting in your everyday life now that will determine the outcome of what your destiny will pan out later.

So don't act surprised when things begin to fall apart, and all doors are sealed shut in your life with zero evidence of opening in your next season. The truth is, you knew good and well that you made life difficult for others, blocked their opportunities, and sat on their destiny when you were in a position to advance them.

I want to say to someone today. While you may be experiencing your season of occupying the chair where you make the decisions as to whether a person will advance or not. Know for sure that you are, at the same time, determining your own future by the seeds of hate, unfairness, Victimization, or by promoting fairness, justice, and the well-being of others now.

Every season's primary purpose is to prepare us for the next season. However, we are currently determining what those future seasons will produce based on our performance towards others in the current seasons we're in. Again, God is not mocked, whatever a man does, now, be it good or bad, he will reap what he sowed, in the future, Galatians 6:7. This is not an opinion, THIS IS A LAW!

Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

It is disappointing for the adversary to witness you rising back up after a setback.

Yes, you've been knocked down, but you must discontinue in your own strength and speak to your spirit, saying, "Greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world." "Father, I can do everything through you who strengthens and enables me." "Lord, you are my help in the time of trouble."

Why have you succumbed to defeat when there are so many scriptures to empower your spirit, man? Your enemy has given his best shots. Now it's your time to get back in the ring of life and fight as if your life depended on it. Only this time, your strategy will be struggling with the word of God!

Father, restore my mind and cause me to focus on your word in my attempts today to achieve victory over the obstacles posted in my path. Elevate me spiritually to see beyond my temporary circumstances. Assist me in guiding my tongue to avoid complaining and begin speaking what I desire to see instead of agreeing through my confessions of the negative things displayed before me.

Lord, enable me to possess the power and the mindset like your servant Job, who continued to worship and praise you despite everything going in the opposite direction of his desires.

THIS DAY. I WILL ARISE; THIS DAY, I WILL SPRING FORWARD; THIS DAY, I WILL AWAKE FROM MY SLUMBER; THIS DAY, I WILL BREAK LOOSE FROM THE CHAINS OF PROCRASTINATION AND LAZINESS, ALONG WITH THAT NEGATIVE PATTERN OF THINKING. I will achieve all this by the grace, mercy, favor, strength, and Spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!

God's Ordained Positions Is Where You'll Find Your Provisions

Position: a condition concerning place, location, or situation. Particularly relating to favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

The favor of God that sets you apart is based on the instructions you follow regarding your current and future positions. After God instructed Elijah to declare a famine over the land, He also directed Elijah that his next position would include his provision during the famine, as recorded in 2 Kings 17:1-5.

Provision is defined as an arrangement or preparation beforehand for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of means, etc.

Today, I would like to share some good news with you. God's favor is upon your life, and as a result, provision has been made for that complex, stubborn, and seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in. However, it is important to follow God's instructions to fully participate in this provision and occupy the position assigned to you.

To refresh your memory, even though God instructed Elijah to declare a famine, it did not excuse him from participating. However, God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where he would find his provisions waiting for him. It's important to note that Elijah could accept or reject these crucial instructions. Before we move forward, please say to God, "Lord, please provide me with detailed instructions to my assigned positions where my provisions await me, in the mighty name of Jesus!"

"And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook; and I (God) have COMMANDED the Ravens to feed thee THERE!, 2 Kings 17:4.

My friend, hear me as I speak to your spirit this morning, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, BUT IT'S LOCATED AT YOUR FUTURE POSITION!

"Your priority now should be seeking God's instruction for your next position. Ask Him to guide you towards the right place, location, people, or environment to proceed to. Many of you may struggle unnecessarily because you are in the wrong position waiting on God's provisions."

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways, ACKNOWLEDGE him; as a result, He SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS! Proverbs 3:5-6.

YOUR DIVINE POSITION HAS INCLUSIVE OF IT YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Living in the spirit will require walking by faith

The Believers of Jesus Christ who live by sight, meaning they're limited to interpreting their five senses as it relates to our natural world, will permanently be restricted if not stagnated in their spiritual walk.

As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are commanded to walk by faith and NOT by sight. In other words, as members of the body of Christ, we directly violate this spiritual law stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7 when we judge or even assess matters from a superficial or physical perspective.

As a body of Believers, our acceptance of Jesus Christ and his works on the cross has to transition us from mere natural men and women (being limited by our five senses) to receiving the Spirit of God, whose purpose is to elevate us to greater spiritual understanding along with limitless spiritual experiences.

Therefore, if the Believer does not see him or herself as a new spiritual creation with the Spirit of God dwelling within them, then more than likely, they will automatically revert to their usual natural way of living, of course, which is limited to their five senses which are governed by fear.

Walking by faith means walking or behaving according to the Holy Bible's laws, principles, rules, and protocols! In doing so, you are positioning yourself to live, walk and even behave in a manner that must exceed your natural human limitations. Moreover, you are also in a better position to receive the things of the spirit. According to scripture, the natural man, in his attempt to obtain the things of the spirit, will always conclude the things of the spirit as foolishness simply because such things are spiritually discerned. On the other hand, the Believers of Jesus Christ, who have been spiritually regenerated, will always see things from their origin no matter how it is presented. The source of all things is spiritually rooted, and it will always be the process of comparing spiritual things with something of a spiritual nature that will unveil the mysteries of our natural problems.

Thus, the following scripture, "13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth, not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15

Live according to the scriptures if you intend to live beyond your limited and restricted human limitations.

A little can tell what a lot is like

There is a saying that goes like this, "A LITTLE CAN TELL YOU WHAT A LOT WILL BE

LIKE"

There is someone reading this note right now, who really needs to read this because they're getting mixed signals from a person place or thing that they're considering making permanent as it relates to their life. EVERYTHING LOOKS RIGHT BUT DEEP WITHIN YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.

I am here to tell you that the little that you are being exposed to now, is God's way of showing you that there is a lot more where that came from. In other words you're dealing with a root. Meaning the signs you're being exposed to is the reality of what this person, thing or environment is all about. The question to you is, are you prepared to deal permanently with the previews that you're being exposed to?

You have been asking God for insight into this confusing situation, and your expectation is you're expecting something big to happen as a sign to you to make the right decision. I am saying to you, you have been getting signs all along via the little consistent things that you know full well you're not prepared to adapt to. Remove your emotions out of the equation for a while and I promise you that you'll see things for what they really are.

The scripture is clear when is said the following, "Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 1 Corinthians 5:6. My friend, to attach or tie yourself to this person or situation is to literally welcome the very thing you DISLIKE IN YOUR LIFE! YOUR ENEMY IS ATTEMPTING TO SET YOU UP, BY SUGGESTING YOU CAN HANDLE IT OR CHANGE WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE PRESENTLY DISPLEASED WITH.

THE WORD OF THE LORD TO YOU MY FRIEND, MAKE THE DECISION TO CUT NOW!!!

Don't be to quick to judge

Many times we're quick and eager to run to the aid of those that are quick to give their side of a story

where the story always ends with them being a victim in a situation.

Surprisingly, we never ask God why is it that this person is going through what they're going through. Instead we just buy into their sad story in our ignorance of the true story, not taking into account that they're probably reaping what they have sown into the lives of others.

Am I suggesting that they should not be helped in spite of what they've done to others? No! Instead what I am saying is that you neither myself can stop the law of sowing and reaping from running its course in their lives in spite of our compassion towards them. The scripture says, as long as the earth remain there will be seed time and harvest, Genesis 8:22.

In other words what you did to others were the planting of your seeds while someone doing the same thing to you in the future what you did to others in the past is your harvest!

The bottom line is this; you can't go through life treating people any kind of way and expect a red carpet of goodness to be spread out for you in the future. Time has calculated your assigned date to reap what you have sown my friend.

God will judge the oppressor and there will be none to save him. 2016 will be a year of PAYDAY!

Stay in your lane

Stay in your lane and wait on God to make things right for you.
Do not misplace your focus on those that seem to be a head of you, in a seemingly better position

than you or some how undermining you.


The saying that, "God is in control" would suggest that God was well aware of your matter prior to your matter surfacing in your life. God being in control further suggest that the all knowing God and the God that knows the end of all things from their beginnings, has also made provision to address your matter at "HIS" assigned time.


Things are not always the way they seem and while others may appear as if they have it all together on the outside, unknowing to you their world could be falling a part on the inside. In other words do not judge success based on their outwards appearance.


I promise you, the God of all hope will bless you to advance in due season, you will run laps around those that were once ahead of you, but this can and will only happen in God's perfect timing.


The scripture is clear when it said, "God will make everything beautiful in HIS time" Ecclesiastes 3:11.

Try it another way

Could it be that obstacles, setbacks, delays, and disappointments in life when viewed from a positive perspective, is God's way of saying, whatever it is you're attempting to achieve can be done another way!

As creatures created by God to progress and advance in life, the enemy has mastered the art of delay and disappointment to hamper our God-given ability to naturally develop.

I would like to say to someone today that your disappointment and frustration is due in part to your limited way of thinking. Yes! You have convinced yourself that your way of trying to attain success is the only way it can be done, when God has been whispering to you, "Try another way." As a reminder, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

The word of the Lord to you my friend is, "Get up brush yourself off and try again, only this time try it ANOTHER WAY!

Is this word for you?

I honestly do not know who this word is for today but what I do know is that there are many of you
that is about to run laps around many that were far ahead of you.

Yes, that's right! You have been at the back of the line for many years to the point that it has become a way of life for you. There are many in your age group and even younger that have accumulated and achieved so much that when you compare your life to theirs, it would appear as if your life is at a standstill.

The Lord wants you to know that power and opportunity is about to change hands. In the coming weeks' people, places and things will be added to your life and shift in your favor that has been commissioned by the spirit of God to accurately advance you to the point that will surpass your peers. Make no mistake this change is two-fold: 1) To promote you to where you should be according to God's plan at this point in your life and 2) To position you to elevate others from where you once were.

Those that fail the latter of the two by becoming self-absorbed will find themselves in their former lacking oppressive position but only this time in a far worse state. God said to remind him of his word which says, "For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with "FAVOR" wilt thou compass him as with a shield" Psalm 5:12 and " Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find "FAVOR" and good understanding in the sight of God and man" Proverbs 3:3-4.

My friend hear me today, let these two scriptures become your foundation of expectation for what the Lord desires to achieve in your life, know that you are being positioned for better and to help others to become better, speak these scriptures daily declare them believe them expect them to manifest exactly what it says in your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

"For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" Isaiah 40:31.

Are you sure

Have you ever had that feeling that something just isn't right with someone, something or some
place? However, there is absolutely no physical evidence to prove or even identify what you're sensing deep within your spirit.

Have you or are you currently sensing that someone is not being altogether truthful with you or there is something about a particular person that is making you extremely uncomfortable that has not been revealed as yet? However, outside of your feeling  there is absolutely nothing to support your sense of discernment.

One of the difficult part of walking in the spirit as Believers of Jesus Christ is learning to disengage our five senses and allowing the spirit of God, His Holy Spirit to reveal to us via our spirit what the enemy is hiding or concocting to secure failure and destruction for us.

Satan's primary method of operation is to manipulate his victims via deception. Those that fail to build and strengthen their relationship with God become ideal candidates in being mislead and deceived by the evil one and his agents. One of his methods of deception is to initially give the appearance of Godliness and good will to the one that is being deceived or about to be deceived with the sole intent of pulling the intended victim off of their God designed destiny. In other words, to cause the Believer to never connect with what God had originally designed for them, such as the right mate, the right,career, the right church, the right life etc.

Many folks are very much bitter, hurt and disappointed today because they were convinced that they had, chosen the right mate, they thought they picked the right career, they were confident that they were being lead by the spirit to that particular church, that has now placed them in a far worse position prior to them attending that church. Question! Are you sure the Holy Spirit is leading your spirit with that choice you are about to make that will ultimately change your life? Is it that you desire a particular person or thing so bad that you have tagged God on the tail end of it to convince yourself that it is of God? Are you certain that you are not confusing the lust and selfish desires of your five senses and labeling it as the leading of the Holy Spirit?

My friend, let me tell you from personal experience, Satan is a master deceiver and an elaborate calculator of evil. No human being is exempted from his many deceptions, especially those that are lead by their lust instead of the Spirit of God! I honestly do not know who this message is for today but I am lead to speak this word to someone that desperately needs it. The lord said to tell you to LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP AND THAT YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT! Stop trying to convince and deceive yourself that these folks are who you desire them to be.... You are assisting the enemy to setup you up for destruction!

As a heads up, Satan will not deceive you or tempt you with things or people that do not appeal to you, instead he will use your desires and things that you gravitate to as a sugar coat with his evil embedded on the inside all in an effort in making your life a living hell.......... There is a saying that goes like this, "Not everything that glitters is gold"

Are you sure you're being lead by the Spirit of God or are you being deceived by a spirit of lust?

Winners Possess A Different Spirit

 "A winner's excitement isn't so much based on the fact that they have won. Instead, their attitude results from the patience and endurance it took for them to become a winner" ~Kevin L A Ewing~.

WINNERS HAVE A DIFFERENT SPIRIT

Finding joy in the success of others, even when you may not be in the spotlight, can be a strong indication of future success. This positive mindset allows you to celebrate the achievements of those around you and reinforces the belief that success is attainable for everyone. It also fosters a sense of confidence and motivation if observed from a selfless perspective. Such people despise that competitive and jealous spirit. In fact, they see it as an enemy to their destiny that will serve best to a selfish person instead of a selfless person.

Individuals with a unique type of drive derive immense satisfaction from the accomplishments of their peers. They are so stimulated by the triumphs of others that they experience a sense of personal victory. Regardless of their own standing, they genuinely rejoice in the success of those around them.

Such individuals will always be a winner, even during losses. Again, the source of this person's greatness is the lack of jealousy, competitiveness, and inability to sabotage, undermine, and belittle the character of others to achieve success. Such a person sees life as a level playing field and concretely believes that time and opportunity are afforded to everyone.

If you believe the scripture I will mention shortly, you're also convinced that losing is a necessary part of the process of winning. This means that if you experience a temporary loss simply indicates that it is not yet your time to win. True winners possess a different spirit and do not define themselves solely by their victories. They understand that winning is a mindset and have always believed in their worth, patiently waiting for the right time and opportunity to reveal their true identity..

"I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time" Eccl. 9:11

The reality of hope

According to the World Health Organization, 56 million people die each year, which is an average of about 153,424 people each day.

Wow! Now isn't that amazing? 153,424 people die globally every single day. Now, what's even more amazing is the fact that neither you or myself were included in those numbers if we are reading this article.

While I would readily agree that there is so much to complain about, I can simultaneously say there is so much to be thankful and appreciative for, if nothing else, the ability to participate in the land of the living.

Scripture says to us, " For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion" Eccl. 9:4. The word hope in this text is defined as "EXPECTATION or ANTICIPATION" of something. What this simply means is this, while we may not have all that we would like to have at this point in our lives or things are not going the way we would like for it to go. The gift of life provides that hope that things can change at any moment!

King Solomon in the above scripture text understood this reality quite well. His analogy was; as powerful and intimidating as a Lion can be, if he is dead, then there  is no more hope for him. LIFE! Is embedded with hope. In spite of your defeated, depress or even unsuccessful state you may have found yourself in. The mere fact that you are alive has qualified you and position you that things has the ability and potential to change for the better. This is what hope does, it places a demand on the future insisting and demanding change.

Therefore, hope encourages life while the depletion of hope encourages and fosters death! Hopeless people, commits suicide, hopeless people entertain depression, hopeless people never see the light at the end of the tunnel, hopeless people are negative and sees the world as a spinning ball of darkness.

King Solomon went further in his understanding of this profound reality when he made mention of the following, "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Eccl. 9:5-6.

In an effort to condense King Solomon's point, basically what he's saying is that those that are living are duly aware that their lives will come to an end one day, therefore they're not trying to hasten that assigned time via the entertaining of depression, not being able to get over certain situations, hate for others etc. Instead they're riding on the fact that because they are afforded another day of life, they've decided to maximize that day with the hope that is accompanied with it that things can change for the better. Solomon quickly added, that when a person dies he has been disqualified from the thing that hope fueled while he was among the living, which was: that person's love, hatred, envy, joy etc. In fact he said that all of these thing perished along with that person's demise.

I do not know who this post is speaking to this morning, but what I am fully aware of is the simple fact that if you're reading this post right now then it says to me that you have two gifts in your possession and they are the gift of life along with the gift of hope. Both of these gifts have qualified and enabled your temporal situation to change at any moment.

Hope, is the school master of life dictating to its audience that nothing can stay the same forever, good or bad CHANGE IS THE INEVITABLE!

Despite The Views Of Others Restoration Will Be Your Portion

The story concerning the prodigal son is an interesting one. , when he finally came to his senses before deciding to return home, not only did he return to his former residence where his Father and family lived, but amazingly his Father restored him to where he should have been at that point in his life.

Scripture clearly says that when the prodigal son's Father saw him afar off, he had compassion on his son, hugged him, and kissed him, apparently overwhelmed by his son's return. The son, after admitting that he had sinned against heaven and in the sight of his Father. He said,  "I am no more worthy to be called thy son. It was at this moment that the Father said to his servants. "Bring forth the best robe, put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry." The key to God advancing you to where you should be in your life begins with you getting back into position. The prodigal son could not be advanced to where he should have been at that point in his life outside of returning to the one who was able to make it happen for him. Please read carefully what I am about to say next; it will only be when you perform it right with God and man that you will qualify to be advanced to where you should have been at this point in your life!

Why not make the decision right now and Confess to God and those you've wronged and, like the Prodigal son, abandon your pride for spiritual restoration that will make way for natural restoration in your life.

What is so interesting about this story is that the son was restored to where he should have been at that point in his life, even though his brother wasn't pleased with the Father's decision, seeing that he was the one that was always faithful, committed and stayed at his Father's side. I want to say to someone today that God not only desires to restore you, but he wants to position you to where you should have been at this point in your life. Despite what you have lost, how much of your time you have, or others have wasted, or the non-approval of others, it is still God's desire to hurl you to your rightful position at this point in your life.

"Lord, we decree and declare on this glorious day;  your word that says you will restore unto us the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, the Caterpillar, and the Palmer-worm, Joel 2:25.
We further stand on your word and command Satan and his agents to restore unto us sevenfold of everything he has stolen, including the substance of his household, according to your word in Proverbs 6:30-31. Father! Advance us in this day to where we should have been at this point in our lives in the mighty name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

It's Your Time To Be Advanced

Scripture says to us that God spoke through his prophet Isaiah, that he would raise up a heathen king
by the name of Cyrus. God said that he would do the following for king Cyrus:

" I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in pieces the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel" Isaiah 45:1-3

Well, I pray this morning that this same God who did the above for a heathen king will go ahead of whoever is reading this post and make the crooked paths in their lives straight. It is also my prayer that God Almighty will break in pieces the spiritual gates of brass and cut in half the spiritual bars of iron that have withheld your spiritual blessings and, as a result, advance you to where you should have been at this point in your life.

Father, Just like you did for King Cyrus, Please! Release to us the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places that the enemy has stolen from us so that we would be even more convinced, that you O' Lord, who has called us by our names, that you are the God of Israel.

I want to say to someone today that the God of all glory has positioned others to catapult you to where you should have been at this point in your life. The physical manifestation of what God has done for you spiritually will be revealed in the uncommon help that's about to come your way. All that the enemy has stolen from you spiritually and hid in his treasury must and will be released.

God advanced Abraham, God advanced Moses, God advanced Isaac, God advanced Jacob, God advanced Joseph, and so many others. NOW HE HAS DECIDED THAT IT'S TIME TO ADVANCE YOU!!!!!!

GOD WILL MAGNIFY YOU!

There are so many of you that are overdue for advancement and promotion in your life, but it seems as if every door has been shut and sealed.

It isn't that you're not qualified or possesses the smarts and skills, the problem my friend is that there are others in a position to assist and help you but perceive you as a threat or just love the idea of making life hard for you.

I am here to inform someone this morning that God has decided to "MAGNIFY" you in the midst of those that have rejected you. I want to make this clear! God is not about to change you! Instead, he will alter the perception of others towards you that will access the favor,, opportunities, blessings and the like that has been withheld from you.

To magnify is to make something appear much bigger than it actually is. It is also defined as exaggerating the appearance of something or someone. When something that can not be seen by the human eye is placed under a microscope, the microscope magnifies its size. So the reality is, absolutely nothing was done to whatever was put under the microscope. Instead, the microscope lens amplified the appearance of whatever it was magnifying......... My God!

GOD WILL INDEED MAGNIFY HIS PEOPLE!

Just before I proceed any further with this biblical insight, I must make clear that when God promotes, give favor, advances, or elevate you he initiates it by changing the perception of those around you. The lessons which were via your trouble and challenges were making the necessary changes in you. However, I am sure you’ll agree that no matter how much you’ve changed some folks refuse to accept the fact that you’ve changed, and will continue to label or categorize you as to who you use to be. Therefore, if it were left up to those around you who refuse to accept your change you’ll never advance. So, it is necessary for God to change their perception of you to accommodate the change in you.

Joshua, who was the minister of Moses was about to take on one of the greatest challenges of his life. That challenge was taking over as the leader of the children of Israel following Moses’ death. Now, lest we forget this was not an easy task, simply because Moses was the greatest leader they ever knew. Aside from leading them out of Egyptian bondage, the many miracles that were performed by God through him and to top it off he brought them out of slavery by breaking the back of poverty and causing them to become wealthy.

Like any good leader Moses affirms Joshua as the future leader to the children of Israel. “And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of Israel, be strong and of good courage.” Moses added by saying, “The Lord will go before thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee, fear not neither be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:7-8). In reading this I was compelled to ask myself, why would Moses say this to him be strong and of good courage? I am convinced Moses knew the difficult times Joshua would have faced leading an estimated three million people who revered Moses.

In Deuteronomy 31:7-8, Joshua 1:6,7,9 Moses and God had repeatedly said to Joshua: a) Be strong b)  Be of good courage c) Fear not and d) Be not dismayed. Again seeing that Joshua is now the leader, why are these four statements being rehearsed into his hearing?

It is almost as if they knew something Joshua did not know. The truth is they both knew that the children of Israel would automatically compare Joshua to Moses and conclude that Joshua was inferior to Moses and not capable of leading them like Moses did.

So, even though Joshua was qualified for the job the children of Israel perception needed to be amended to remove this comparison issue. Right now you are eligible for that promotion on your job, or you've changed your life and decided to live for God, but somehow folks don’t accept your new status because you are still the same old you in their sight. Therefore God will have to do for you what he’s about to do for Joshua.

“And the Lord said to Joshua, this day will I begin to "MAGNIFY" thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. The word, magnify means: to make someone or something appear larger than it is as with a lens or microscope.

The revelation here is simply this, God changed absolutely nothing about Joshua. God did not change his height, strength, weight, etc., but instead, the bible said that God made Joshua appear larger than he was in the sight of Israel (they respected, honored and appreciated Joshua as a result of what God did to them spiritually). The only thing that was changed was Israel’s perception of Joshua who was already qualified for what God had called him to do……wow!

My beloved readers, you've been ridiculed, talked about, used, skipped over for promotion, degraded and laughed at. To add insult to injury, it has been trouble after trouble, disappointment, setbacks and not to mention hindrances. However this year God has decided that you've qualified to go forward, but he has to change the perception of your haters and oppressors. All of the challenges were to change you. Now that, that leg of the process is completed GOD WILL NOW MAGNIFY YOU IN THIS YEAR!

It is written!

Isn't it amazing how folks who have never had the physical, mental or emotional experience of your problems tend to be the ones with the most advice? Not to mention their insensitivity towards your problem.
For example, if you've lost a loved one folks would say, "Child I know how you feel" really! How is it possible for you to know how someone feels who lost a love one if you've never lost a loved one. There is a saying that goes like this, "Experience is the best teacher." This is so true because the one that has sat in that seat of experience can now relate to what you are currently experiencing from all levels, and not just from an imaginary level in regards to the one that's lacking the experience.

Scripture tells us that Jesus Christ has experienced every single situation that we as human being will ever face or experience. Not only would he be the right person to advise us but he also left a method of how to deal with life's challenges.

Scripture outlines to us in Luke 4:1-13 that every time Jesus was challenged by Satan his response always began with the phrase, "IT IS WRITTEN." The understanding and by extension the revelation of this scripture is clearly pointing out to us that to challenge the obstacles being hurled at us, be it physical or spiritual our number one defense MUST BE SPEAKING THE WORD OF GOD AGAINST IT! As opposed to seeking someone who does not have the experience and therefore can not relate to or guide us on the right path.

As a reminder in the above passage of scripture, Jesus Christ existed as a real physical man and Satan was and still is a spirit. My point here is, Jesus' example is pointing to the fact that you MUST NEVER CHALLENGE THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS WITH THINGS THAT ARE PHYSICAL. Instead, the kingdom of darkness Must always be challenged BY THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS SPIRIT (Jesus said,"For the word that I speak they are SPIRIT, and they are life," John 6:63).

So with the above spiritual principle in mind. When your financial crisis visits you, don't cuss the lending institutions. Instead, you challenge the spirit behind the lending institutions by saying, "You spirit of Mammon, it is written, my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19.

The reality is, when you speak such words they become swords in the spirit realm that are now your spiritual weapons. How do I know this? Well, let's look at scripture. "The word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and "SPIRIT," Heb. 4:12. Another scripture says, "And take the helmet of salvation and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT" Eph.6:17. So quoting the word is, in fact, engaging in defensive spiritual warfare...... Thus, Jesus' counter attack always followed the protocol of IT IS WRITTEN.

It is written, suggest to Satan and his demonic forces that his defeat has been recorded because the word written refers to something that has been done in the past..... Might God I love this! So are you being afflicted by sickness, well It is written that because of his (Jesus) stripes you are healed. Are you depress? It is written that God has given me the garment of praise for the spirit of depression, Isaiah 61:3. Are you expecting more in 2014? Well, it is written, God will do exceedingly abundantly, and above that, you could ever ask or think, Eph.3:20.

My words of wisdom today is simply this, whatever it is that you are currently fighting with and your defense is outside of the word of God, then the reality is you're preparing to repeat that situation. Instead, you must place your spiritual ax at its roots, which will always be spiritual and observe the difference.

"FOR IT IS WRITTEN"

Only the Author knows the ending of your story!

It doesn't matter what you may be experiencing right now, as long as you are alive your story is not over!

Scripture reminds us that Jesus is the "AUTHOR" and finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2. An Author is one who has written a book, novel, essay or poem. An Author is also defined as one who is an originator or creator of anything.

Someone needs to desperately know this morning that Jesus Christ has written the script for your life and in spite of what you're being faced with the next page of your life according to the author must read VICTORY!

The lord said to tell you that no human or spirit can erase what he has already authored concerning your life. These mountains that are standing in front of you and seemingly all around you are apart of the script of your life that has been calculated before the foundation of the world all in an effort to advance you.

Only the Author knows how your story will end, in fact he says he's also the FINISHER of our faith.............

My friend, say to your mountain today, "You are apart of the script and I trust the Author and finisher of my faith, that this too will work out for my good!

Life Challenges Is Demanding Change

Every challenge in your life has a purpose. Nothing happens by chance or accident. What is happening to you is not happening to harm you but to help you.

Life's challenges are meant to challenge your thinking and prepare you for your future. If you continue with your current mindset, you risk becoming irrelevant to your future. To keep growing and evolving, you must embrace new ways of thinking with each level of life. So, discontinue seeing life challenges as an inconvenience. Instead, see it as life demanding you to change your thinking to accommodate what's coming.

As per human and religious beliefs, this process is called the renewal of the mind. Trust me, as someone who has gone through this, let the changes from your unpleasant experiences take place. It may feel uncomfortable and lengthy because you don't like the changes it's bringing, but these changes are necessary if you desire a better life. Keep doing what's right, even when faced with evil and injustice. This will help you become a better version of yourself and prepare you for the better future that's waiting for you.

Do not let the negative opinions of others discourage you or make you feel foolish for tolerating unfair treatment. Remember that everyone has their own journey and experiences; someday, they will understand. Instead of getting angry, try to see their role in your life as temporary, assigned by a higher power to help you grow and develop. Trust in the process and stay strong.

Scripture encourages us that "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy most certainly will come in the morning" Psalm 30:5.

I'm not sure who this message of encouragement is intended for, but I want to reassure you that your patience is about to pay off in a big way. You will experience a remarkable turnaround that will exceed even your highest expectations. What's about to happen can only be described as supernatural.

Your human spirit will be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and He will assist you with breaking the hold of depression, defeat, and the suffocating feeling of inadequacy that has cloaked you for months or even years.

As a bonus, God will reveal the reasons behind your difficult experiences, the moments of hopelessness, and the feeling that even God was against you. He wants you to know that your decision to trust him will lead to a detailed understanding of these events.

THERE WILL INDEED  BE GLORY AFTER THIS MY FRIEND!
