MOVING INTO A NEW SEASON

[FAITH]

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away...the winter is past, the rain is over and gone." (Song of Solomon 2:10-11, NKJV)

Have you found it difficult to move on from a past season?

God has freedom and favor for you, now and in the future! This is your time to flourish and be fruitful.

A season is like the chapter of a book—it has a beginning, a middle, and an end! Then eventually, a new chapter opens. This is where we can learn from the tent-dwellers of the Bible, and tents today. A tent is secured when we connect it to the ground with cords. These are held in place with tent pegs (or stakes). Then, when we move on, it is time to pull ALL of the tent pegs out of the ground! When God calls us to move on, it is time to pull up the tent pegs of the past and let those cords go, for new things are up ahead—our Father has more for us!

Just as an umbilical cord connects an unborn baby to its life support system, we may be nurtured and fed spiritually through a ministry for a period. After a while, it may become evident that the pastoral care you are presently receiving may not be advancing your spiritual life.

Arise and shine, Reveal the glory that you are called to -- step into your Christ calling. Do not hold back. Stretch forth your tent pegs (Isaiah 54:2). The Lord is saying "Birth with Me!" No more barrenness -- God is bringing forth His Kingdom from the ashes through you

 

Keys to Cutting a Soul Tie from a Past Season:

 

1. Recognize It Is Operating in the Background

When a "soul-tie" from a past season is operating, perhaps it is pulling us off track or stalling us, and as a result, we are unable to fully move with the fresh thing God is bringing us into with respect to our Christ calling.

How? We have a tent peg located in the past. It may have been right and good once, but now, it is time to release it! And when the Holy Spirit reveals this to us, it's not bad news—it is good news! It has come to the surface to be removed.

 

2. Turn Your Heart's Desire Toward Jesus!

In Song of Songs 3:2, the Shulamite maiden declares, "...I will seek him whom my soul loveth..."

This is where your healing journey starts—in your relationship with Jesus. You realize He is wonderful, He is delightful, and He is glorious. Hear God say, "Come, be with Me. Let My love and power dissolve every tie to a past season."

 

3. See the Cords of the Lord Drawing You

Hear God speak them over you:  "I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them" (Hosea 11:4, NKJV).

You see, instead of cords holding you back, the powerful bands of God's love and kindness are drawing you! He is setting you free. He is healing you so that you no longer see through a lens of loss. You are looking, instead, through the lens of His love that you are receiving by faith into your heart as you go throughout the day --  which takes you into self-sacrifice for the spiritual lives of others.

 

4. Prayer

If there has been a mental or spiritual battle, take extra time to pray, thanking Jesus so that since He covered our sins with His blood, we are now free from guilt and condemnation, and available, through our Christ calling, to advance His Kingdom throughout the earth.

 

Right now, God's grace is here to help you pull up tent pegs of regret, envy, and disappointment. You are free by faith from the negative effects of past relationships.

By faith, apply the work of the Cross; see and declare, "It finished!"
