UTILIZING TIME AND SEASON

[FAITH]

It's important to know the times and seasons you're in, so you don't miss your widow of breakthrough. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter..."

Many are in a season of transition and crossing over to a new place God has prepared for them.

 

Deuteronomy 11:10-12 says, "For the land which you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot like a garden of vegetables. But the land into which you are about to cross to possess, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of Heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year." You're getting ready to crossover into a place of promise the Lord has prepared for you in this season.

 

To cross over and possess the promise, it is necessary to go through the valley of Baca (Psalm 84). Right before times of breakthrough, God will often lead us through narrow and tight places. The pressure and the closed-in feeling many have been feeling is by walking through that narrow place. Many die spiritually or get stuck in the hallway of transition because they stop moving forward; they don't have the endurance and stamina to go through.

 

Psalm 84:5-7 - "How blessed is the man whose strength is in You...  Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.  They go from strength to strength."

 

God brings us through narrow places because not everything can go with us into our new season. We have to leave the baggage from our last season. You're in a hallway right now, attached from your last season to your new season. To reach your breakthrough you have to go through.

 

STAY CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT

There will be times or seasons when you will have to pass through the valley of Baca (weeping). Your breakthrough is on the other side of your weeping, but you have to go through. If you're not willing to go through, you won't get to reap or possess what is waiting for you on the other side.

 There's a reward for those who diligently seek the Lord (Hebrews 11:6). "Diligently" is defined as constant in effort; persistent in doing anything. God is looking for those who will stay consistent and persistent.

 

Psalm 23:4 (TPT) says, "Lord, even when Your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for You already have! You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of Your love takes away my fear. I'll never be lonely, for You are near."

Sometimes God's path for our lives will take us through the dark places but we are never alone, He is with us. David says, "...fear will never conquer me, for You have already have!"  What conquers you will lead you.

 

In Psalm 84:6 its says that as they walked through the weeping valley it began to change to a place of overflow. You have to continue to go through the valley because each step is prophesying and bringing transformation to your valley. Your valley of weeping is turning to a place of refreshing and overflow.

 

ACTIVELY WAIT

 

Psalm 84:7 says, "They go from strength to strength..." "Strength" means might, ability, wealth, force. Strength to strength comes when we learn to wait upon the Lord.

Isaiah 40:29-31 says, "He gives strength to the weary, and to him who has no might He increases power. Even youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly. But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power. They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired."

 

When we wait on God it's an active waiting. It becomes as a place of exchange and renewal. As you wait you begin to mount up, ascend, and arise. It's not something you have to force, it naturally occurs when we dwell with the Lord.

God wants you to catch the wind of His Spirit in this hour and begin to soar to breakthrough and new places in the realm of the spirit.  Your promise is waiting on the other side of your weeping. Keep pressing through. Breakthrough is your portion!
