Listen To His Instructions, For It Is Time To Cross Over
There is a deep birthing that many are going through that they have not endured before. This birthing is significant as it is bringing you forth from the past and catapulting you into the new things that the Lord is calling you into. He is giving you the downloads and blueprints of what is to come and how things will look as they begin to take shape.
Although these past several years and beyond, have the hardest, most difficult, and painful times you have walked through in your entire life. But those times have been where the Lord has been preparing you and bringing you closer to Him. The hardship, the pain, and the trials were necessary to be exactly where you are now.
Even though your circle is smaller, your strength and stature had seemed to diminish, the battles continued, and the wondering of where you went wrong has lingered over many. A reminder to you that there has been great purpose in the process. This process was necessary, and there was no other way around it to get where you are now.
Don’t spend time reflecting on how painful the process was but celebrate what God has healed and delivered you from, who He is removed out of your life, the things He protected you from, and the joy in Him bringing you closer to Him. We can fixate ourselves on things that serve zero importance, or we can fixate our gaze on Him, the one who holds all things concerning your life in His hands.
Many have felt like the birthing has been never-ending, and you push through one thing only to encounter another and another. Destiny awaits you on the other side of this last birthing. Where many things the Lord has spoken is going to come together.
The Lord reminded me of Joshua when he gave the people instructions to prepare to cross over. It is time to get things in order, finalize things, tie up loose ends and put the finishing touches.
Joshua 1:11
“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own."
Many are going from being on the sidelines of waiting to the frontlines of leading. You are moving from the waiting to prepare to now preparing to cross over. It is time to occupy the things that God has spoken to and over you, where the enemy has fought relentlessly to keep you from stepping into.
It is time to prepare, make yourself ready, and listen to the instructions that He is giving you for in that, there are keys and blueprints to unlock and see His plans unfold in the land that He is giving you and calling you to possess.
There is also a deep and complete restoration that He is bringing to His people through the birthing and healing. I was reminded of this verse in Job in relation to the restoration He that He is doing.
Job 42:10
"And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
