When God is trying to do a new thing in your life you maybe tempted to go back to the old thing that you new worked. Doing this will only prolong your time in the wilderness. Learn to let the Lord lead you into new things even if there is pain involved. For those of you who have a call to the fivefold office, pain is inevitable. God is going to take you through a time of dying. There are stages of dying. When you first come to Christ there is a dying to your old self, But after you have walked with him for a while the real dying begins. In order to walk in a fivefold office you will have to die to your own vision for your life. This is the hardest thing you will ever do. Going back to what you used to know will just take you around the mountain one more time. Each time around the mountain seems more painful and with it is more discouragement.
Let me encourage you today to surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life and stop looking back. There is absolutely nothing there for you. If God himself allowed that thing to come to an end it is because He is trying to do a new thing in your life. Save yourself the grief and embrace it,
There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Prov 14.21
