Change and Re-evaluation

It is not easy to be redefined or repositioned because change stirs up re-evaluation and self-examination that shakes our self-image.  If I have to change positions or titles, does that mean I was wasting my time before?  Not necessarily.  Holding a place until a season is fulfilled is part of the destiny process.  Have I failed and therefore have to be replaced?  No, being repositioned by the Spirit of God is about growth and effectualness, not failure.  Am I being demoted instead of promoted?  Paradigms and experience and old models may say “Yes,”  but if God is truly in charge, He is always about maturity and increase.  We can trust His title changes and redefining to position us for excellence and promotion in His Kingdom. (Tenth excerpt from Kathy’s article “Fresh Obedience”)


Out From Under an old Shadow

A word Kathy got from the Lord concerning this season is that we (including you) are coming out from under the shadow of an old enemy. She believed that she was hearing that for us as individuals and for the nation on the whole. Old enemies are going to lose their voice — defeating voices that keep resounding in our heads and voices that keep sounding out through various media in our nation. There has been a drain on us because, up until now, there has been no release. But in this season that is now shifting into position, those voices will be silenced. Take that word for yourself and declare it and pray over it.


Hold on to the Rail

There is a shifting going on and opportunities for many but we must hold on to the rail and continue to make progress. Recently (as I was praying over some persons we are ministering to) I saw a person walking down a passageway of a large ship. The ship appeared to be rolling as a result of rough seas. The person was trying, as best as they could, to maintain their balance. Then, they noticed the handrail on the wall. It was like, “Oh, yes, I could hold on to that!”. So they gripped the rail and took another step and shifted their grip forward and took another step. Even though the seas may roll and make progress tedious, God’s Word and His faithfulness are the rail we can grip and continue to move forward with. “You are to follow only God, your God, hold him in deep reverence, keep his commandments, listen obediently to what he says, serve him—hold on to him for dear life!” (Deut.13:4, Msg)
