Some time ago I asked God what happens after restoration. Because I believed that in 2010, God has restored all that was lost in previous years and He has repaid me all the years that the locusts had eaten. Then I asked him, now what God? What happens next?
God revealed to me that transition time connotes God’s work of restoration (for me, I was in transition for the past 2 years). And transformation time connotes God’s work of acceleration. This analogy of a plane on the runway came to me.
A plane has to travel a distance on the runway for some time before taking off (that is like transition, because this process only takes a while). It needs to accelerate but once it reaches a certain speed, the aerodynamic forces will lift up the plane into the air (that is acceleration). In the same manner, in order for us to soar like eagles, God would accelerate what He is doing in our lives.
When we near the end of our runway (end of our transition period), we suddenly find ourselves being lifted by His Spirit and then we soar. It is effortless because there is a certain momentum built up already. Like the eagles, they can fly long and high in the sky because they are not flapping their wings all the time. They could discern the thermal currents and ride on such currents, hence minimising their efforts to fly. We should learn to be like the eagles, to discern the work of the Holy Spirit and then to cooperate with God when there is a flow.
The key is that when we near the end of the runway, we cannot afford to shrink back or to go into reverse gear or we would crash. We may not have it all together yet but when God brings us to that point, we just soar! Amen! All glory to God!
