THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

I just like to share my takeaway from what I have been reading from the prophetic posts for the past month. Generally the messages can be categorised into three main areas.

The Past

Let go of the past. The past is no more. There is no more sting from the hurts and pains of the past as you choose to let them go. They cannot hurt you anymore. It is imperative that you let go of all the baggage from the past season because the door ahead is narrow. You cannot carry them over to the new season. Some things are meant to be left behind. Take a moment to say goodbye to the past and then move forward. Don’t look back anymore.

Don’t be sentimental about letting go of the past. Be resolute to break ties with the past. Don’t be nostalgic when God is doing a face lift in your life. You will look back and see no more traces of the past you. Everything will change. Everything will be made new. The old has passed away. The new has come. You need to close the door behind you completely before the door opens in front. God is finishing up things from the old season. There is truly a finality to the past. The end is here.

Take off your old clothes. Put on new clothes and shoes. The old clothes would not be suitable for the new season. Let go of the old so you can embrace the new. You cannot do things the old way. Be open to how God leads you. It can be scary to be in between doors. But it is only temporary. Once the door to your past is shut, God wastes no time to open the door ahead of you.

The Present 

Pursue and overtake, for you shall recover all. You just need to push that door gently and it will open. The enemy is screaming at you: It is an impenetrable steel door. But that is not the truth. The door is so shaky now, just one slight push, it will be opened. You are at the point of Joshua 6:16 when you give a shout of praise before the walls come down.

Praise and worship is key. Continue to roar with praises and worship. God is fighting for us as we praise and worship. Do not have a victim mentality. Don’t just endure, push back against the limitations, the delay and the disappointments. Don’t accept anything less than what the Lord has promised you.

This is truly a kairos moment. We have crossed over to a new time zone. Things will not happen the same way twice. The spiritual atmosphere has clearly changed. No more battles. The war is over. God is telling us to start dreaming again, start believing and taking steps of faith. There’s a reset. Don’t be afraid of things happening the same way, it will not.

This time, the shift is permanent. You may feel so much pressure now. That is because you are standing between the Red Sea and the marauding armies. You are feeling so weary from the long journey of wandering in the wilderness. You have been through a season of transition. But God is really bringing you into crossover to take the promised land. He will show up on time without delay.

He will cause your enemies to perish in the waters. The enemy you see today you will see no more. You are standing right at the door of your breakthrough. This is a kairos time for your destiny that cannot be missed. You will receive the answers to what you have been asking for. What didn’t happen last year doesn’t mean it will not happen this year. Throw the net out one more time. Try again. God will do it again.

Continue to praise and worship. The joy of the Lord is your strength. As we praise and worship, God will ambush the enemy. He will drown them all. Many of us had been through a decade of epic battles, constantly in survival mode. We are always in defence mode so no mood to dream or to build. But now we have truly crossed over to another threshold. There is rest in the land.

The Future

God is about to do something precedented. It won’t be business as usual. We got to stay close to Him and be ready to flow in His Spirit. We have not passed this way before. Just one shift and God can bring you from lack into overflow. Enlarge your tents, stretch your tent curtains. Get ready for overflow and for acceleration. There will be so much joy in the new season too.

He is also teaching us to steward the blessings well in the new season. Spend time with Him and He will show you the strategies and blueprints. The camels are on the way. Provision is coming for your vision. Whatever didn’t happen in those years of waiting is going to come around again this year. Be open to the new things God is doing.

And when we are living in the outrageous blessings of the promised land, do not forget the Lord. Remember that it is God who gives us power to get wealth. Remember to prioritise time with Him for it will be a busy season, filled with activities. Also be wise to discern which doors are good for you. Stay in your lane. Don’t run ahead of God. Always seek His direction.
