This is so important for many of us who are transitioning in silence and that there are those of us who are being tweaked by God Himself as He aligns us to greater effectiveness in the Kingdom.

Like a bone that has been broken apart and then gets re-broken, because the person striving had believed they need to deny the evidence; to deny, deny and deny!

We must heed the real deal, and align with God.  It is in the alignment where miracles happen.

When God has made it clear to take that time to mend, many reject the true evidence and they will not heed the doctor’s instructions.

Yes God is a healer but HE heals in his time and way.

Many try to hurry the process.  Religious mind-sets seek to rush, rush and rush into things you need to be equipped to CARRY!

These negative thoughts and people come to provoke us to enter bondage, unbelief, doubt and legalism, instead of placing all our trust in God alone!

God’s timing and natural transitioning and recovery is on His Clock.  We do believe, but the process takes some time and many cannot go with it.

These will strive for mans approval but God will have his vessel. God has his test for us and none of us can stop it for it is a God thing, and must learn patience and obedience.

But if we find in us or others the fruit of rebellion and disobedience, please pray for those who will not listen we need to withdraw and pray for them.  We must repent and release it and let it go!

These are serous times, and there are many who want to run that race now in their speed!  But there are times that God tweaks us, and there are times of down time.

God will take us through to regroup us so that we find what error we have listened to.

God’s will is to always bring us back full circle and to show us why do we go round the mountain so many times.  Christ is all about getting us to learn and hear the mind of Christ.

The thoughts and guidance of the Holy Spirit are designed to get us back into alignment!  So much must be aligned again for greater growth and soundness of doctrine and structure.

There are no short cuts to becoming the person God wants us to be.

Let us learn to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.

The LORD sends seasons of refinement to us.  There will be times when everything in our lives will feel so disconnected, and silent.

We must learn to be centered and focused on God’s Will, Word, His Mind, and heart.  AND without trusting the feelings or any other substance other than pure faith in God.

I promise you, that you will face this and you will feel nothing of God’s promises!   The real substance of faith will be made manifested by and through this; Faith isn’t a feeling, it is a fact.

You must not rely on feelings, beloved!

God has not changed His Mind about you!  However, He is going to develop our senses and beliefs!

As we get before God and learn to wait in quiet and silence before HIM, then we will develop our dependence on the LORD and His Word!

Don’t fear or doubt, God has not brought us this far to change His mind.

God is not out to ruin His Children!  That is not the mind of Christ concerning His Children!  Our faith is proven during times of doubt and these double minded times.

Nothing is the same and having new territory to process can make us feel intimidated and fearful.  But I hear the sound of heaven, “Do not be afraid!”

When our heart is overwhelmed, lead us to the rock that is higher than I.

Our faith will provoke us to action; to act!  We must face ourselves, because we must go deeper still in seeking out the mind of Christ concerning our lives and for souls.

All of these things can cause us to feel fear, insecurities and fear of the unknown.  It is during this test that the true motives of the heart will come forward and surface.  We must repent when the LORD brings them to surface.

We must KNOW GOD is working even when we don’t feel or see it.  Don’t allow these uncertainties keep you hidden and kept in the bondage to in fear of religion.  Trust God to bring you out now no matter how you feel.

Being impatient can cause us to take a place that we were never given, and it has the possibility of hurting God’s people. competition and impatience can also be provoked through Jealousy, envy and Impatience will provoke us to take things into our timing instead of waiting on God.

The LORD will often provoke us to jealousy and provoke a reaction to action.  Why?  To get to our heart so WE can see what is in us and repent and turn away from those things!

Those that the LORD loves HE corrects.

“And Samuel said, Hath The LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of The LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.  Because thou hast rejected the word of The LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king,”   1 Samuel 15:22-23.

The evidence of our faith in areas is produced by the refining fire of silence, self control and waiting on GOD!

To realize and know HIS voice greater, means we have grown to that degree, and His Word will always back up his will.  He shows us areas of error to teach us to learn to change as we mature.

Silence; the fruit of self control….

We will never mature if we never cooperate in the process.  We may say we want the Word to become flesh in us, but the only way that happens is when we yield to Him and it doesn’t always feel good to our flesh.

HE is the refiners fire and HE defines us and burns away those things that hinder our life and walk.

This walk and the way we mature is through seasons as we walk from the mountains to the valleys.

Part of our spiritual maturity is learning to wait as long as it takes for God to speak to us.

We have nothing to offer unless God gives it to us.  Amen?

Amen!

I am learning constantly and amazingly how quickly a life changing event can affect us in all in body, soul and Spirit.

Experiencing life comes with all sorts of challenges.  Nothing stays the same except Jesus is the same, yesterday and forever!  Thank God He is never late and He never cast us away.

Our life change could be a new move to a new location or an “out of our comfort zone experience.”  I have found in so many experiences in my life, that such times bring to the surface areas of things that haven’t been understood.

Aren’t you glad that all of us are not always going through the same thing at the same time?

When one is up flying high with Jesus, these see from such a greater distance and aren’t you glad they are part of your life?

I know I am!  I am so grateful to God for my true and loving sisters, brothers and friends!

Aren’t you glad that God infuses His power through these the beloved of God who are sent our way to grant us the fortitude, determination, and strength to help us who are less fortunate, and those who have been wounded or who have fallen helplessly on the narrow road of life.

We are not exempt of these times, but God knows the training we need and especially the development of compassion to treat others the way you would be expected to be treated?

There will come seasons in ALL of our lives.  These seasons will affect us all!  How we react to those who need our loving tender care will be measured by God’s plumb line as we all are being tested in many ways.

Being the one on the receiving end often find out they have a hard time receiving due to pride.  Receiving is just as important as giving.

We want to be on the giving end all the time when there are times when we are in need of mercy, compassion and help for ourselves.

Religion dons a mask to make you think that something must be wrong with you!  As we grow we are going through hard trials in life.

This isn’t easy.  As we learn to yield and yearn to learn the process, we will begin to see things from a more positive faith filled experience, instead of trying to hide who you really are from people and having to admit that you are not always up in the stratosphere somewhere!

People want to identify in the reality of the truth of Christ in this life.  These hunger to learn truth from other Christians.

When people have confidence that they can open up, these will find good instructions as these truths then bubble up coming from the deep recesses to the surface of our understanding.

I have noticed the flashes of revelation that have broken through the error and lack of balance that are held by the demands of various groups that hold out of balance lie, demanding that we must be flying high all the time.

If we would be honest with ourselves and to each other, none of us are flying high the majority of the time.  The true breaking process breaks us up to make us more aware of those like us who desperately need God’s mercy, grace and compassion.

Godly Humility is acquired and learned through real life encounters and situations that humble us.  Our stance, is often with tears, making us feel vulnerable.

When there have been a lot of religious wounds it can be very hard to receive from anyone due to lack of trust.

There are some right next to us whom are so wounded, but they are so afraid to open up.  Yes, there are even those of us who are homeless and have nothing.

Be aware of the results of our own situations.  These times of change prepare us with life skills, equipping us with what it takes to bring understanding and compassion to our neighbors.

We must all be aware of our surroundings because God will often send us or place us with the fruits of His Spirit in his actions and His words if necessary.

However, in so many ways, actions do so very much more than words do.  God has a divine set up in mind today to display God in you in His grace, goodness and Mercy!

Become aware of all those who are around you!  This is a “God set up!”  Begin now to focus on those who are down and out.

Don’t glare and stare in disapproval at their inconsistencies.  Ask yourself, What would Jesus do?

I have found in my humanity that had it not been for God’s Grace and Mercy where would I be!  We really have no idea what we are made of until we have total disorder and mass pandemonium in our lives.  How do we react?

To have everything in its place and purpose brings the facade of order and a clear mind.  When in all actually we are a mess!

Look at Job when all was in order and blessed by God in his life and then suddenly all changed.  We are only one step away of being tested that way.

I have been thinking a lot about the seasons and the varied attempts of change we go through.  None of us are exempt from trials, tribulations and change!

We want to change but when it comes knocking at our door, we often find we are unprepared.  The answer to all of our changes is to trust God through the good and the bad and to learn to go with the flow of the Holy Spirit!!
