The “T” Word

T-R-A-N-S-I-T-I-O-N…How can it be that God’s Word (Written or Prophetic) says we will have good success and prosper, and we are seeing seemingly the reverse? Why is it that we seem to be waiting for and looking for, but not holding the promise? How Long God? Are We There Yet? As the “Cutting Edge” church, we are on the edge of the cutting edge. Which means that we will face a greater opposition to quit and become “DULL!” To lose our “Sharpness!” The enemy continually asks, “Why wait for the promise?”

We are in a time of great Transition, and by the word of the Lord I declare to you, Don’t you give up! Transition is the state of being changed from one state of being or one place to another! We will continually go from Glory to Glory, and Strength to Strength! We are learning to subdue our enemies! Let God be true and every man and every circumstance be a liar! Don’t be moved by what you see happening around you! Scripture declares that these things are temporary and subject to immediate change! If God said it, He meant it! Hold fast to your promise, and Fight the Good Fight of Faith!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Darkest Before The Dawn

Change is a good time for Change! What is God asking you to change? Don’t listen to the enemy’s lies (his decrees) any longer. If God can forgive Nineveh and reverse his judgment, forgive and bless them, how much more can he do for you his child?

What change is God asking you to pursue? In the book of Exodus God sent Moses to prophesy that God was going to bring his people out of captivity and into the land of promise! And Pharaoh had to ‘Let My People Go!’ Pharaoh’s response was ‘More Bricks, No Straw! I will not let them go!’ There was a change God was demanding, but the people of God hadn’t yet come into agreement with. When the circumstances shifted and the pressure was on, a ‘New Sound’ was birthed among God’s people! They began to partner with the changes God was asking for, and God heard their cry for freedom.

The ‘Narrow Place’ of pressure and things becoming tighter and tighter, brought them into a new alignment with God and their promise! The Narrow Places of Transition are like a birth-canal to birth the promise! It is interesting to note here that this happened right before a great wealth transfer took place, as God’s people marched on into their victory and freedom! What new sound is God asking you to release? What are you birthing for Him? What declarations and decrees is he wanting to hear from your heart?

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Wage War With Your Prophecies!

1 Timothy 1:18-19 ¹⁸This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; ¹⁹Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.

The first question ever asked in the bible was from the devil in the form of the serpent. He asked, ‘Hath God Said?’ Even today his game plan has not changed! Is the enemy trying to get you to question God’s ‘Calling and Vision’ trying to get you to give up on your ‘Destiny and Inheritance in Christ?’ Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing and focusing on the Rhema or living or prophetic word of God! This is why God told Joshua as he was heading into the battle, don’t let this book of the law depart you’re your mouth or your eyes, but meditate on it and you will see the Victory!

Don’t doubt in the dark world what God has spoken to you in the light of His glorious presence!

In Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4, Jesus said ‘Man shall not live by bread alone (Natural things) but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father!’ The proceeding word is the Prophetic Word! Wage warfare with your prophecies, declare what ‘God Hath Said’ with great boldness! We fight until WE WIN!

Prophetic Insight

The month of August is a re-aligning month. It will be a month of re-alignment for the body of Christ. God is wanting you to believe what you believe you believe! Don’t just “Talk the Talk, but Walk the Walk!” Walk into your divine assignments and alignments! I believe we will see more re-alignment throughout the body of Christ, but it will position us to receive our divine inheritance in Christ. Speak to yourself, ‘Be Strong and Of A Good Courage!’ ‘Fear Not!’

September will be a month of Financial Blessing! A September to Remember! Windows in heaven will open in September! God will confirm his word with signs following, even signs in the heavens! God is releasing his heavenly armies to fight for the church. The Lord of Hosts, the King of Glory is looking for those who will release the new sounds that open the everlasting gates and eternal doors for him to come and release ‘His Glory’ in a new way! (Psalm 24)

God knows Everything about your circumstances; He is Omniscient. God is Everywhere all the time, even in the midst of your life today; He is Omnipresent. God has all the Power you need for your breakthrough; He is Omnipotent. Be encouraged today instead of discouraged, and you will avoid disappointments and arrive at your divine appointments of Destiny.
