Its a new season! God is doing a new thing. Will you not see it? Or will you go into your new season kicking and screaming, murmuring and complaining while lamenting about what you enjoyed in "Egypt"?! Like I did.
Listen, God answered long standing prayers of mine. But because it didn't happen how I was expecting it, I was fighting the process of promotion, settlement, and fulfillment. Transition is difficult. The birthing canal is narrow, tight, dark and painful. Many die in the birthing process. The truth is somethings within and connected to you MUST die so that you can live- truly live in higher realms and dimensions. Carnal mindsets must die. Anything unfruitful or unprofitable MUST DIE. But YOU will live. You will have life and life more abundantly. You will declare the works of the Lord.
We often must walk through the wilderness to get to the promised land. The wilderness is a place of testing not only for you, but also for everyone and everything connected to you. A couple key relationships DIED in my wilderness season.
After pruning comes fruitfulness. There's so much newness around me- new streams of income, new home, new boo. But, I can't say I walked into it gracefully. I initially waged war against becoming an independent contractor and consultant. I initially fought prosperity and abundance because I didnt like the pruning that preceded the prosperity. But God! All I can say is God has blessed me beyond what I could think, ask or imagine! One of my clients said "You're a free agent!" Yep, FREE agent. But I was thrown into a freedom that I fought every step of the way.I fought against being settled in a new home because I'd not carefully planned out every step of the relocation process. Even though I didn't plan it, I'm living in a house in the area God highlighted to me in September 2020. He gave me the zip code in prayer! When I returned to the States, I initially longed to MOVE BACK into an income generating, tenant occupied condo that's too small for my growing family- which makes no sense! But I thought it was a "safe" move.
I always say I'm a lover- not a fighter. But y'all, I fought LOVE!! 🤣 The day I got engaged, I hid the engagement ring because I didn't think the timing was right to get engaged. I knew my partner had the ring. I discerned what was in his heart to do that day. So I went into his backpack, took the ring, and hid it. Don't judge me. In my mind, we hadn't known each other long enough to get engaged. It wasn't logical. Made no sense. Yet there are at least 12 indisputable, infallible proofs that he's the one- including finding a ring that was otherwise unfindable without the assistance of the Holy Spirit.
