The Season for the Reason We Were Created
Breakthrough for Your Destiny Has Been Released from Heaven
Ever feel like you are on the verge of breakthrough, but there is no evidence of it actually happening? When we feel this way, it is because something has already happened in the spiritual realm that is setting up all your needed changes. Similarly, when Daniel got a strategy from God and took some steps to walk it out, it took 21 days for the angel to get to him (see Daniel 10).
We are in a time right now where we need to stand while expectantly waiting and battling the attack of discouragement, because God is bringing new things into place. Your breakthrough is already accomplished and has been released from Heaven, so you can now watch as it is revealed on earth. Remember from Daniel 10:13 that from the time things get released from Heaven until they actually get to us, there can be significant, time-consuming warfare.
Transport to Your Destiny's New Season
Last year God showed me that we are all going through a time where angels are being assigned to each of us that will allow us to operate at a higher level than we have before. On January 10, 2012 at 4:45am, I was awakened by the presence of God and an angel was standing in my bedroom. It was unlike any other angel I have encountered. I immediately knew in my spirit that the angel is called Safe Passage and has been assigned to guide me into some new opportunities.
Since then, this angel comes and just stands in my bedroom at 4:45am, and I have noticed significant new connections and opportunities happen that day. We have uncharted waters ahead of us to navigate, but God has given us all the provision that is needed to get safely to the other side. Whether you see them or not, many people are getting these new angelic assignments right now, even as you read these words.
Ticket to Your Destiny's New Season
This is a time that God is revealing to you the reason you were created. The very areas that satan has been attacking are the areas of your strength as you enter this new season. If you have paid a price and kept going, God is giving you a ticket to the next stop in your destiny. There is a short climb to the next place of rest and refreshment, where God will bring healing to the wounds the enemy has inflicted over the past few years.
Shift in the Spiritual Realm
I was awakened at 3:45am on February 1, 2012 and God spoke to me that the months numbered 3, 4, and 5 will be very significant. March, April and May constitute a time of new connections for the next steps in your destiny, no matter how small they may appear to be. As this shift occurs, it will continue to be challenging and there will be what appears to be resistance. Do not stop, but push through the times of discouragement and sidetracks that appear in front of you. Your enemy will flee more easily than before if you keep going.
Check What God was Saying Nine Months Ago
Right now God is bringing about prophetic words, promises and dreams that we received last April/May, confirming your steps. God spoke to me that May 2011 was the start of something new that is now being "birthed," so to speak, nine months later (February and March 2012). I checked my journal and, sure enough, I began receiving a lot of revelation last May and I have had some major visitations and spiritual experiences since then.
Plan of the Enemy Right Now
I saw five plans being released from darkness upon people who are pursuing God's destiny for their lives. They are to (1) get you discouraged, (2) make you think you messed up or missed it, (3) get you sidetracked and frustrated, and (4) get you stressed out, stealing your peace. It is as if the enemy is lighting brushfires to distract and try to blind you. It is all temporary and a smokescreen. In just a short distance ahead there will be a season of clarity.
The fifth plan is to get Christians to continually accuse one another. Accusations and negative talk will quickly slow down your process of promotion. There are more verses in the Bible about not judging others than there are about what many would consider major sins. See, for example, Matthew 7:1-5, James 4:11-12, and John 8:7, to name a few. Jesus said to bless those who curse you. Find ways to let go of your differences and bless the person instead. It will change the situation around for good.
The Old Ways of Doing Things Need to Die
We are in a time of a major paradigm shift in the way we do ministry if we want to be effective. Christianity at large has lost its effectiveness and has settled for church programs that have derailed the radical movement God has in mind for us. What does that mean? Be willing to try something different, keeping in mind what God has already told you to do ? you are partnering with a creative God!
On January 1, 2012, I had a prophetic dream that a new upgraded worldwide operating system was being released. God is releasing new creative ways to operate in the Kingdom. To get to the new we must let the old ways die.
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. John 12:24
Movement Outside the Camp
God longs to draw the world to His love, acceptance and power. We can no longer stand back and insist that people repent and come to Jesus. We must become God's loving representatives on earth to people in need. Remember that this year God is releasing a "new way to operate." There are masses of people who have been wounded by Christianity. We are going to see mini-revivals and moves of God begin to spring up in the springtime.
We are going to see God begin to draw in spiritual outcasts, that is, those that have been looked down upon or overlooked by Christians are going to start experiencing new life. This new movement will spill over into the business world as a new type of business ministry is revealed. This will look a bit messy but the end result will be amazing.
Ask God to remind you of what He said last year, and to stir your heart to be tender toward those who have hurt, disappointed, and even abandoned you, especially other Believers. A wounded heart is a distracted heart, and now is the time to watch and wait for what God has released for us.
Blessings,
