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!

Shots Fired, Satan and His Crew Are Down

"Father, please strengthen my ability to discern today, allowing me to see beyond the limitations of my five senses. Show me any traps, lies, deceit, conspiracies, or anything else that Satan and his agents have plotted against me."

Father, I pray that the Spirit of truth, your Holy Spirit, will lead me into all truth in this day and the days to come. Let your Holy Spirit convict me of any evil that resides dormant in my heart. Lord, I truly repent of breaking your laws, rules, or principles. I confess my sins and ask for forgiveness so there will be no barrier between you and me. Your word is clear when it says, "he who conceals his sin will not prosper" (Proverbs 28:13). I desire success for myself and my family members, which I am aware can only be achieved by adhering to your laws.

Father, I now clothe myself and my family with God's armor to stand against the deceitful tactics of the enemy Ephesians 6:11. I pray that your angels will surround my family and me and deliver us as you have promised in your word, Psalm 34:7. I command that all impending bad news be immediately stopped from reaching me. I also command that every evil covenant established in my dreams be destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ. I condemn all corrupt verbal communication from my mouth and the mouths of others against me, per Isaiah 54:17. I declare that life, health, and strength shall be my portion and that of my family today. I decree that no good thing shall be withheld from us, as stated in your word in Psalm 84:11. I decree and align with your word that says you will perfect all that concerns me.

I pray that sickness will not affect me or my family in Jesus' name. I speak with authority to the spirits of jealousy, hate, deceit, anger, unforgiveness, manipulation, and pride that control and influence my enemies to work against my family. I command these spirits to become confused and disgraced by the power of the living God in the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that every missed opportunity and every opportunity somehow manipulated out of my reach must revisit me in Jesus' mighty name.

Every spirit of rejection that once turned away those you've anointed to bless and favor me. Let those spirits be bound, and their plans be destroyed in Jesus' name. Lord, your word declares that my strength comes from you; therefore, by your spirit, I am asking you to release me and all that concerns me from the tormenting spirits of failure, defeat, procrastination, tiredness, delays, setbacks, and every other spirit that will challenge my God-intended destiny in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Finally, Heavenly Father, I stand in covenant with your spirit of peace today. Therefore, I embrace that peace by declaring, "Great peace, have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them," Psalms 119:165. I bind myself as well as my faith to your word that says, "You will keep me in perfect peace as long as my mind is steadfast on you" Isaiah 26:3. I receive that peace from you, Father, which only you can give that transcends all understanding, Philippians 4:7. You promise us your children, that you bless the righteous and with favor will you compass us as a shield, Psalm 5:12. I embrace your blessings and claim such favor in the name of your son and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

The spirit of Confusion must Go, in Jesus name!

Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning on behalf of someone who is presently and has been

for a while now, battling the "SPIRIT OF CONFUSION."

I come to you, Lord, reminding you of your word, which says that you are not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). Therefore, I command the spirit of confusion that has been challenging those individuals to be destroyed by spiritual fire in the name of Jesus Christ!

Father, your word declares that confusion is the product or result of envy and strife, according to James 3:16. Lord, we use your word, which you said is liken to a sword, and sever the root of this spirit of confusion which is envy and strife and command it to die in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Lord, I cover every reader of this note and those confused with the blood of Jesus Christ and the whole armor of God, to the point whereby they don't know where to go, who to talk to, what to do next... Spirit of confusion, I curse you in the name of Jesus Christ and command you to leave the lives of these people permanently in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Now, Lord, I pray that you would replace that void that the spirit of confusion has left with your spirit of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, direction, hope, motivation, inspiration, and most of all, your spirit of TRUTH in the matchless name of Jesus Christ!

My Friends, let me inform you this morning that this oppressive spirit of confusion has been doing its best to disable the headquarters of your being, which is your mind. Therefore, you MUST fight this spirit with the spiritual weapons God has given you, which are his words!

So, whenever this spirit of confusion comes upon you, accompanied by its tentacles of being overwhelmed, frustrated, fatigued, and the like, you speak the word of God, which is literally a sword in the spirit realm, severing the existence of these tormenting spirits.

IF THIS IS FOR YOU, MY FRIEND, THEN I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU COME IN AGREEMENT WITH THE WORD OF THE LORD TO BRING RELIEF TO YOUR SITUATION IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF  JESUS CHRIST!

We Must Recalibrate Our Spiritual lens Of Revelation

Revelation involves revealing, exposing, or uncovering something that is already present! For instance, if you misplace your keys at home and later find them in your bedroom, they didn't suddenly materialize; instead, they were revealed to you during your thorough search.

 

The scripture says, "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law" (Deut. 29:29). Based on this scripture, some secrets or mysteries are reserved solely for God, such as the origins of God, etc.

 

Nevertheless, this scripture also indicates that God has reserved certain revelations for us and our children. This is where the passage becomes particularly interesting. The scripture clearly states that the purpose of these revelations is to empower us to FULFILL ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW!

 

No matter your current circumstances, you might feel stagnant and lack progress. Consider seeking God's guidance to uncover the hidden truth relevant to your situation. This will allow you to apply His specific principles to address your concerns.

 

Father, expose and peel back the curtains, allowing me to see spiritually what I was previously ignorant of physically. Father, just as Elisha prayed for his servant, asking you to open his spiritual eyes, I am asking you to open our spiritual eyes to give us the revelation needed to apply your law and release us from the spiritual cages we've found ourselves in.

 

Lord, I echo Elisha's prayer for his servant over my life in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Indeed, I connect my spirit to this prayer and anticipate similar outcomes for my distressing situation in Jesus' name.

 

Elisha prayed earnestly, saying, "LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see." And with a tender response, the LORD opened the young man's eyes, revealing a breathtaking sight: the mountain was filled with horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha" 2 Kings 6:17. It's important to highlight that the chariots of fire were always there; it was just the servant's spiritual eyes that needed to be opened to fully appreciate their presence.

 

God shows no favoritism. If He did it for Elisha's servant, He will undoubtedly do it for you who believe!

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.

Scripture advises us that God knows the end of all things from their beginning, Isaiah 46:10. Scripture further advises us that God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings, Ephesians 1:3. Based on the mentioned Biblical facts of God's awareness of what He already has in place for us, then the set times of the manifestation of our preordained provisions is based on His instructions we follow regarding our 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 IS INCLUSIVE OF YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Spirit Led Folks Are Proactive Not Reactive

Don't be reactive; instead, why not choose to be proactive.

In other words, do not wait for trouble or challenges to visit you, and then respond. Instead, you

must take on a proactive spirit and deal with your future problems and challenges in the spirit realm before they manifest in the natural realm!

Most folks who received an adverse doctor's report or their kids encountered trouble. At this point, they want to rally up their prayer partners to launch a counter-attack on the Enemy's camp. Unfortunately, our response is only because of the physical attack. As human beings who reside in a world we share with spirits, we have the unique advantage of calling things that are not in existence and preventing certain things from manifesting in our lives before they happen. This, my friend, is called being reactive.

Everything originates in the spirit world before its existence in our natural or physical world. We can prevent certain spiritual things and events conceived in the spirit world from entering our natural world.

One of the primary ways we do this is by being "PROACTIVE" in our prayers. We do this by canceling and rebuking all evil devices, schemes, and ploys spiritually implemented by Satan and his kingdom before their happenings in our physical world. We can also cancel the plans of the kingdom of darkness before they manifest on the earth by challenging our bad dreams. Our dreams provide a glimpse of activities being conceived either for or against us in the unseen world. Again, in being proactive, we pray by asking God to destroy everything in the spirit realm that the Enemy has planned and conspired against us so that it can not manifest in our lives.

I know of many Christians diagnosed with a particular sickness, and only at this point did they want to "press into God" for a miracle. We all have the advantage of praying against Cancers, Heart disease, diabetes, and any other disease before their manifestation. These diseases, or any other damaging event such as a divorce, premature death, termination from a job, etc., did not begin when the physical events took place physically. Unfortunately, these adverse events were all initiated spiritually, and what is being displayed physically is its manifestation that was never challenged spiritually.

As Believers of Jesus Christ, we MUST change our methods and strategies for engaging in spiritual warfare. The only way this can be achieved. We must adhere to the laws and rules laid out in scripture, such as We are not fighting against flesh and blood and must gear our attention on the spirit world if we intend to be successful in our natural world, according to Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Corinthians 4:18.

Why not let this day be the day you change and implement spiritual warfare's biblical strategies? While you may not be divorced or suffering from some terminal disease, it would undoubtedly be proactive in praying against them to ensure that they never take shape in your life later. Therefore, we must choose life instead of death by being proactive instead of reactive.

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Deuteronomy 30:19.

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.

Physical Strength vs Spiritual Strength

Revelation will always be the keys to unlocking the mysteries of our lives!

However, the revelations that we need to advance us from the same old, same old will initially require a greater hunger for the word of God. It is impossible to develop in the things of God physically if you're malnourished spiritually.

The scripture advises us that if we faint in the day of adversity our (spiritual) strength is small, Proverbs 24:10. Amazingly, in an earlier verse of this same chapter, Proverbs 24:5 to be exact, we are instructed how to increase our spiritual strength to avoid defeat in the day of adversity obviously. Proverbs 24:5 reads, "A wise man is strong, but a man of "KNOWLEDGE" increases his strength."

The understanding here is, while physical resistance such as weight lifting builds the physical strength of a person the equivalent of building spiritual strength would be by increasing the "KNOWLEDGE" of God to your human spirit. In so doing it is impossible to fail in the day of adversity!
