Where we are Supposed to Be

Since everything flows out of Jesus (Col.1:17), rank and order is not hierarchy, it is HoldingCandle.jpgeach person being where they are supposed to be and functioning as they are supposed to function. That is how the world will see His glory; when we are where we are supposed to be, doing what we are supposed to do, releasing Heaven into earth. (1Cor.6:20; 1Pe.2:12) Matt.5:16, Amp — “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

As Silver Tried in a Furnace

HeatFurnaceKathy — There is no anxiousness in God’s timing. That makes it very different from my definition of timing. Aligning circumstances and creating opportunities is the easy part for Father. Preparing us to walk in those opportunities is the real work of His timing. Ps.12:6 “The words of the Lord are pure, as silver tried in a furnace, purified seven times.”

Something Bigger Than Ourselves

HoldUpArms.jpegEach of us is part of something bigger than ourselves. That is why Aaron and Hur held up Moses’ arms. There is one man in the universe that God recognizes: the many-membered Man Christ Jesus. All of our relationships are subject to that premiere fact. 1Cor.12:20 “…now there are many members yet one body…”

Do Not Jump Ahead of Time

FrogJumpingKathy — Gal.4:4 – “in the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son.” It was not a calendar date as much as an appointed condition when God had nations, cultures, politics, and people in position for the birth of Jesus. Don’t jump out there ahead of God because He is positioning people, time and circumstances to accommodate us in fulfilling His purposes… and it all just works out better in His fullness of time.

Bonds of the Family of God

FellowshipHarmonyAs the people of God assemble today may they give themselves to the viability of the Word of God and the strength of fellowship and stand firm that their peace not be stolen. May they find refuge in the shelter of the Almighty and find security in the bonds of the family of God. Eph.2:19, ESV — “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.”

God Measures Time

Clock in handsKathy — While man is measuring time in seconds and minutes, God is measuring time in changes, responses, transformations and alignment of people and circumstances. His primary aim is to transform people.There are those awesomely orchestrated times when His transforming events coincide on a calendar date just to declare His presence and sovereignty and loving attention to details in our lives. (Jer.29:11)

Awake at the Wheel

Melissa — Awakening is for all of us, not just the unbeliever. I’m quite excited at the thought of being awake at the wheel now and moving forward with foresight. You SteeringWheelHandRoad.jpgare no longer under subjugation of fear, diagnosis, lack, delay, the past, oppression, depression or even snares in your bloodline. You’re on a new page of your life. Just know that things are about to get amazing and shift in ways we cannot imagine. This may seem like a crazy thing to say at this point in 2020, but the truth is far more powerful than the lie. You are free and about to see great and mighty things on a much larger scale.

Eternity in Their Heart

HandsRaisedSunrise.jpgTomorrow is already in your heart. “He has also set eternity in their heart…” (Eccl.3:11). God has put something in you that identifies with tomorrow, that longs for tomorrow. Set it free. The wise man tells us here that there is something beyond the present; there is a tomorrow and there is an order in this present that speaks of that tomorrow, and that if observed and obeyed, will get us to that tomorrow.

Operate in a Realm of Freedom

Melissa — A couple of weeks ago when the Lord spoke to my heart, “No longer subjugated”, He also tore something apart. Could that have been a principality that PaperTearingRip.jpgHe tore up? Perhaps one that has been sitting all high and mighty but met it’s doomsday? Gotta say, I really like the sound of that! Then a couple of days after this tremendous insight I heard, “The page has turned”. Not only did He shred something, but right behind it He turned a page. We are at a point for which we have been waiting and hoping. I know a lot of us feel like it has taken forever but we have had to acclimate to be able to shift into the next place. We’ve needed to be prepared for this new level, this new reality. The old norm can’t function at this level. The old norm operated under subjugation, but now it’s time to operate in a realm of freedom like we’ve not seen.

Progression to What is Prepared

God speaks the progression of time and events and His authority and power bring them into being. That is why we must cling to God’s Word and get into alignment JesusPointingWay.pngwith it. If God can trust us to speak under His direction and authority, what we speak will come to pass. Isa.14:24 — ”Just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand.”  The reason Jehovah declares tomorrow is for our benefit, for His declarations free us from our limitations. His declarations clear the atmosphere for receiving His inevitable works of wonder. Everything man needed was already in the garden before he was created. Before Adam was hungry there was food; before he was thirsty there was water. Our Lord is taking us to that which is prepared. (Isa. 52:12)
