Don’t Make “Permanent ” What God Has Made “Temporary”

When something significant is being built, scaffolding is put in place to support the building process. Scaffolding is temporarily attached to what is being built to get to places you could not ordinarily reach. The structure can’t be elevated to higher levels without the scaffolding. Once the structure is ready to be revealed the temporary scaffolding is removed.

As God is “building you,” there are temporary things in your life that you must not get attached to. Sometimes we get too attached to people; we get too attached to places; we get too attached to institutions. You have to recognize what is being used as a “temporary” means to move you ahead verses a source that you are to have “permanent” reliance on. That’s why sometimes relationships fall apart. Sometimes you lose an appetite for what used to feed you. Every now and then your reliance on an institution will be disappointed. You must understand that some people, some places, some institutions, some mindsets, and some approaches have expiration dates on them.

There are times when you have to blatantly abandon “what was” in favor of “what is to be.” You can’t be so attached to the “present” that you are not willing to abandon it in favor of your “future.” If there is no more life in it, it has already left you. Do not be so attached to something that you are not willing to let it go even when it has already gone.

Do not try to make “permanent” what God has made “temporary.”

I am excited about the release of my highly touted new book called Transition—Mastering Life’s movements! It speaks more extensively on letting go of the “present” in favor of your “future,” and so much more!!

Take a look at what people are saying about the book:

-I just finished this book and (((WOW))) what a great book that really gives you the bigger picture of what we all go through in life but never see it from this perspective. I love how this book gives you some specific practical tools that you can do every day and that you can be aware of in your conscious mind. I recommend getting this book in your library now, and once you read it you will want others to have it too. This will bless many.

-I Love this book! From the time I started reading it I knew right away that what I was reading was for me! As I read the first chapter describing to me what transition was or is; it was like food for my soul. I ate the first chapter really fast, it motivated and inspired me. I tweeted about how fast I was eating the book. I have been freed up from the confusion that seemingly alluded my life.

-I can only find “two” words right now. And that’s Anointed and Brilliant! I’m still in “Awe”! Seriously – no fluff! This book has just about summarized my past and present.

If you have not had the chance to get your copy of my powerful new book, consider getting a copy right now. Several people have purchased a copy for themselves and A second copy to sow into someone else’s life.

Discover the Number One Hindrance to a New Beginning

When you are looking for a “new beginning” you must have a clear vision of an “old ending.” The number one hindrance to having a new beginning is holding on (sentimentally) to the thoughts and feelings that were attached to a previous period. Make sure you do not get so stuck on being where God was that you fail to be where God is.

Some people wrap themselves around what God is no longer speaking and fortify themselves against the new thing that the Father is doing. It feels noble to protect something that God was doing when you’re ignorant to the fact that He’s no longer supporting that initiative. Don’t become so familiar with the previous revelation that you end up rejecting the update.

This blog post is a paraphrased excerpt from my POWERFULLY ENLIGHTENING NEW BOOK, Transition—Mastering Life’s Movements.

You must discern where God is at RIGHT NOW. When the children of Israel were wandering through the wilderness toward the Promised Land God told them to follow the cloud during the day, and follow the fire during the night. Being between where you were and where you are going can easily produce wondering. Which means you need a leader. Not a man this time. You need someone who knows their way around without a map and can produce light when it gets dark. He’s the Holy Spirit. The bible speaks of Him this way, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He is the Spirit of Truth. He’s the remover of helplessness and hopelessness. Start asking Him questions when you are seeking answers. Develop a mentorship relationship with Him.

I would love to have you get a copy of my book. The early reviews are incredible!! In addition, it has been on the Amazon Hot New Seller’s List (in the professional growth category) since the day after its release.

Get your copy RIGHT NOW!

DISCOVER WHY NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE EVER ENDS WITHOUT IT CREATING A NEW BEGINNING

I JUST RELEASED MY NEW BOOK: Transition–Mastering Life’s Movements!!!

Are you one of the millions of people who are in a place where something has ended and you know you can’t return to it, and the next season has started but you haven’t yet arrived in it? The something that is ending could be a way of thinking, a mindset, a relationship, or a host of other things. It’s like your left foot is on your “present” while your right foot is stepping into your “future.” You’re in between where you’re at and where you’re going to be.

Well that’s called transition. Life is a series of transitions. Your ability to understand and master transition is the key to you mastering the abrupt changes that life throws at you. And your inability to understand and navigate your way through transition can be a prescription for disaster.

Less Talk and More Demonstration

Information that does not produce “transformation” will result in “frustration.” At some point the information that we’ve received has to be applied and produce results.

We have made accessing information a style. We love to post quotes on our social media pages. To so many, “posting a powerful quote” gives the sensation that they are “living the quote.” That’s living in deception. The Apostle Paul must have seen the same thing happening in his day. He said, “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power” (I Corinthians 4:20). He later told a group of people, “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance…” (I Thessalonians 1:5).

At some point you have to take what you’re “hearing” and weave it into how you’re “living.” It’s time for less talk and more application; less talk and more demonstration; less talk and more manifestation. It’s time for results. Period. Results! Not just “asked for” but “received”; not just “desired” but “attained”; not just “sought” but “found”; not just “prayed for” but “paid for!!”

It’s time for manifestation. Manifestation is to make evident by showing and displaying. It’s to cause to materialize. The Apostle Paul told the people of Rome, “For the earnest expectation of creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8’19). So creation is even waiting for us to manifest. Creation is not so much waiting for you to “talk” as it is for you to “produce.”

Perhaps you’ve been praying for years. Maybe you’ve even been fasting. I’m sure you’ve been searching and seeking. You’ve been waiting and wanting. You’ve likely been hoping and wishing.  Well now is the season for manifestation, actualization, materialization, and demonstration. Let’s start making something happen.

While you’re praying, fasting, hoping and believing, get out there and start making something happen. Your prayers, fasting, hoping, believing, expecting, seeking and studying, are all going to support the materialization of what you’re trying to produce.

Less talk and more power! Less talk and more demonstration!

The Power of Knowing Your Season!

 

A season is a special period of time, accompanied by purpose, power, and provision…or a lack thereof.  I’m sure you’ve experienced seasons where you had a sense of purpose, you felt empowered to succeed, and provision was flowing.  Everything seemed to be going right.  You’ve probably also experienced seasons where there was no sense of purpose, no feeling of power, and no money flowing.  Everything seemed to be going wrong.

Do you know what season you’re in right now?  You must discern what season you’re in at any given time so you know what stance to take.  If you’re in a season where everything seems to be going right, that’s the best time to take some risks.  It is likely that unusual favor is flowing towards you in this season.  You must take advantage of that opening. 

If you’re in a season where everything seems to be going crazy, you must take a different posture.  Seasons like that call for you to pull together your weapons, get in your war posture, and fight your way out of the madness.

If you’re in a season where unusual provision is flowing in, be aware—that could be a temporary opening.  If so, you might want to use that season of abundance to prepare for a possible future season of scarcity.

Your seasons change.  They are not permanent.  Some seasons even reoccur.

  • The season for prosperity is to prepare you for the season of scarcity.
  • The season for pain is to give you an appreciation for the season of pleasure.
  • The season for research is not the season for launching.
  • The season for meditation is not the season for explanation.
  • The season of hiding is not the season of revealing.
  • The season of peace is to prepare for the season of war.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season…”  Here’s the revelation:

1.  Seasons Are Not Permanent—They’re Going To Change.

The current season you are in is going to change.  You should be constantly asking yourself the question, “What is ABOUT to change?”  You must live in today, but think into tomorrow.  Anticipate what is going to be changing a year from now and start preparing for it.

 2.  To Every Season There is a Reason.

There is a reason why a season has come. It could be a season of warfare because your breakthrough is on the horizon. You could be in a season of reaping tremendous levels of success resulting from long seasons of preparation and education. You could be in a season of testing to determine if you qualify for promotion. There is a reason why this season has come. Pray for the ability to discern the times and seasons, and the wisdom to know what to do in every season.

  1.  There’s a Right Time for Everything.

There is something powerful about a purpose whose time has come. Nothing can stop it. But also keep in mind that every purpose has a timeframe attached to it. The second part of Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “…And a time to every purpose under the heaven.” So you must be time conscious and purpose conscious. Some windows only open for a short period of time. If you are not ready when the opening occurs, you may never have that opportunity again.

The Power To Discern Your Season!!

A season is a special period, accompanied by purpose, power, and provision…or a lack of purpose, power, and provision. You have experienced seasons where you felt like you were living in your purpose, you were empowered to succeed, and the provision was flowing. It seemed like everything was going right. You have also experienced seasons where there didn’t seem to be a lot of purpose, there was very little power flowing in your life, money was “tight,” and everything seemed to be going wrong.

Do you know what season you’re in right now? You must discern what season you’re in right now so you know how to flow with what’s happening in your life. Are you in a season where everything seems to be going crazy? You must discern if this season of chaos is a season of developing the warrior within. If that’s the case, you have to pull together your weapons, get in your war posture, and fight your way out of that season.

Are you in a season where an unusual amount of money is flowing? If so, that’s great! Let me advise you to use this season to prepare for a future season of scarcity.

Your seasons change. They are not permanent. Some seasons even reoccur.

  • The season for prosperity is to prepare you for the season of scarcity.
  • The season of peace is to prepare for the season of war.
  • The season for pain is to give you an appreciation for the season of pleasure.
