We have entered a season where some of you will have your lives and ministries realigned for greater impact. You are about to enter a new and unexplored future. A realigning must first take place before that future is experienced. This realignment will require a change of direction because the previous course would not bring you to the destination God has planned for your life. To experience the blessing and benefit of this realignment you will need to focus your efforts on a new and previously unseen horizon. This new horizon is where you will see the approaching manifestation of a fresh work of God's Spirit.
Some of the elements of this realignment will take place without your permission. You will simply be forced through circumstances beyond your control to align with a season of life you had never considered. This is where you will have the opportunity to live out Paul's words to the Romans that tell us God can work out everything for our good - even in the middle of the whirlwind of a life-transition.
Because so much is happening that is unfamiliar you will want to control what is taking place. In His great love, God will not allow you to control this outcome. He is inviting you to a place of trust. This need to control is one reason why you are being realigned. God wants you to let go of your need to control every aspect of your life and return to the raw faith you once displayed when you relied on Him in a pure and childlike faith. You don't need to have any of this figured out. Once this realignment is over it will make sense. Right now you simply need to know that God's hand is on your life and He is leading you forward. You have nothing to fear.
Praise God! Im in the middle of moving between states and purchasing our first home.
ReplyDeleteWe have the house bought... now husband needs a job..and the house needs a few BIG repairs to it.. and then there are these ministry/business plan burn bright in my heart to be done but it is HUGE and way beyond what I can accomplish but it is so real and vivid to me...
And im a controll freak. Am I ever. I plan seven different back up plans to the first plan. It comes w having disabled kids and living in poverty... but there was a time when hubbie and I were first married (almost 17 years ago) where I walked in total blind faith and amazing things happened.
I decided today, before reading your post, to let go. Quit trying to plan it out. Have faith. And walk like I did all those years ago.
Lol cuz I dont have the slightest idea how we are gonna get a water heater turn on the utilities and pay for the uhaul lol! God said go...and we've went. Its going to work out.
He actually showed me the interior of this house ten years ago in a dream.
And then three years ago in the same town He gave me a vision and said this is where I'd hold church. We promptly ended up moving three states away after that vision...for three years...because my husbands jobs were in the south.
Lol on our THIRD attempt to move back home i was looking at rentals and it was awful. We couldnt afford any. I was so broken hearted. We went to look at one last house before heading states away back home... and there sat the house. The house in my vision. I got the lock box code from the realtor and went inside and sat down in the middle of ghe floor because I was so totally blown away. It was exactly as it was n the dream.
And on the drive home... it was amazing.. all these ideas and plans so detailed...came to me.. it was simply amazing.
Lol even after all that I still tried to "plan" for things. I can be real dense sometimes.
Duh. Get it together Jamie! God has had this planned all along. Quit striving!!!
Thanks for the confirmation ;)
