We are approaching the end of the year and with that many of us look forward to changes and the new things God has in store for us. Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) says “a man plans his way but God directs his steps”. Life is about seasons. The Lord might call you to a place or a people for a season and just when you may be getting comfortable God whispers “there is more”. The Lord moves with forward progression with regard to the plans He has for you. We all love to quote Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) “For I know the plans I have for you says, the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future” I personally sing this over my self all the time (The Promise by Klause Kuehn). What few of us realize, is that in order to flow with Gods plan for our lives, there will be times that you will have to make tough decisions. Father, never wants us to become complacent. He does not want us to compromise the anointing that He has put in us. It is special because there is a specific call on each individuals life. There may be a time we become a part of a house and have purposed to run with the vision only to experience the nudging of the Holy Spirit saying “your season here is about to end”. At first, you may even rebuke the enemy. There are many times we are rebuking the enemy because we don’t like or agree with what we are hearing, but the truth is Holy Spirit is the one speaking. I am so glad that God is not like us because He does not get offended. I can just hear Jesus telling Father, they just don’t understand yet, but they will get it soon. The Lord will allow situations to arise that will take you by surprise and shock and disappoint you. He is allowing you to go through the process to realize it is He who was speaking. If you are serious about walking out Gods plan for your life, there will be many twists and turns and sometimes some curve balls. All of those different things will develop you and get you a step closer to your destiny. If and only if, you are willing to make the tough decisions. They may even cause you to shed a tear or two. Everyone has their own unique, God given anointing. Not one person can teach you how to be anointed or how to flow in your own unique anointing. Only Holy Spirit can do that. I can picture some people telling Paul look at Peter, You need to be more like him. Those people did not realize that Paul and Peter had different anointings, no two people are the same. And they each were called to reach different people and do different things. God did not use molds when He made us. When the Lord tells you to let something go for his sake, He is just getting ready to elevate you. He wants to take you places you will not get to, if you stay in the place He is calling you from. Obedience is better than sacrifice. However, obedience must be to God First. In order for Gods plans to be fulfilled in our lives, we have to follow His leading. Some of the decisions may not be easy, particularly when you are able to somewhat flow in your gifting. But those things should never detain you. When the Lord says your season is up. Trust Him . God knows who the people that have your same DNA are. Those are the people He will ultimately lead you to. When you are around people with your same DNA they will never want to dumb down what God has put in you. Always do what Father is asking, but do so with honor. Walk out of every door with a blessing. The blessing is not contingent on humans giving it to you. They may be incapable of giving it. No one can give you what they do not possess. The blessing is contingent on what God says (Deut. 28:6) You shall be blessed coming in and blessed coming out (NKJV).` Take the good and release the rest to the Lord. In order for Gods plan to unravel in our lives we will need to fix our eyes and incline our ears to Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. The amazing three in one who is forever moving on our behalf. He measures our hearts. He sees it all very clearly not through rose colored glasses. (Gal. 6:7) says “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, Whatsoever a man sows that too he shall reap”(NIV). So sow love, peace, honor and joy! On your way in and on your way out.
