The Lord says, “STOP! Can you see the red flags I am waving to get your attention? It is time to stop. Don’t just keep doing what you’re doing. You may have noticed that what may have been easy for you up to this point has now become a struggle, and so I’m now requiring you to check in with Me to check the status of what you’ve put your hands to. This could relate to your professional life, church life, finances, family, or education.
The season is changing, and I am doing something new. I am taking you off the well-worn path and leading you onto an untrodden track. You are a groundbreaker in this season, and you will prepare a new path for others. This path is the answer to the deep cries of your heart. You have recognized a need, and now I am releasing you to take action. But this will require a shift in your perspective and a change of focus – a more deliberate focus on Me.
Come and walk with Me with your eyes fixed on Me as we walk together on this new path that I have prepared for us. When we reach a crossroads, wait on Me to see which direction I will take, and be ready to follow Me. This waiting may feel like a waste of time at first, but I never waste time. In the waiting, I am preparing, resourcing, equipping, and teaching you so that like the wise virgins, you will be ready, equipped, and prepared. Keep looking and watching so that when I appear, you will be ready to follow Me.
Activation:
Each morning for the next seven days, present the upcoming day to God and ask Him about His agenda for you. Inquire about the next steps He wants you to take and what His expectations are for you. Do you need to surrender something or take a step forward?
Invite Jesus to direct your steps, conversations, and thoughts, and to rearrange your diary according to His plans. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize His opportunities each day and to give you the boldness and courage to step out with Him, hand in hand.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.
9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.Psalm 32:8-9 (AMP)
But while they were going away to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut and locked.
Matthew 25:10 (AMP)
