This is the season where God is coming to exchange.
THE SEASON OF THE GREAT EXCHANGE!
Deb Peacock
God is coming and he comes in glory! This season now for a few months is for the exchange. He comes in pure goodness because that is who he is. He is coming for you to pour out his love on you. He is coming to establish you and where you have fallen down he is coming to lift you up and put you in good standing, reset you, redirect you and set you up to run ahead. What are you waiting for?
For several weeks now I have been hearing the words “living sacrifice, you are called to come as a living sacrifice” and that he is calling us to lay it all down for him. The following statement has been we are called to pay the highest price, but we pay it for something that is PRICELESS. What God is to us and what He brings into our lives is far far beyond even the highest price we can pay of laying down our whole lives. Being a living sacrifice means we lay everything down and yet we are alive and we know that God brings abundant life to us in our spirit. He brings revival in our heart. He brings the true meaning of life where we feel vibrantly alive and not just surviving.
I keep waking with the words “throw off everything that hinders”. What the Lord brings into our lives is beyond anything in this world. Let’s throw away the burdens and the habits and the unhealthy comforts that hold us back from embracing the fuller measure of God’s love in our lives. Throw away the fear of others.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
HE IS COMING
God is coming in power and nothing will stop him for he is the mighty great I am. He is coming for you in this time to pour out his love on you, lift you up and set you back on your feet. He is coming to position you upright in upright standing where your feet are firm on the ground.
STAY ON COURSE
There are those feeling broken in this season and just trying to take one step after another and its like leaning into the sharp cold wind coming head on. It’s hard and it’s painstaking to keep enduring, keep stepping and it looks as though the wind won’t ever stop. If you turned off course, you know there might not be a head on wind and it would be easier. But then you would be off course. YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT COURSE.
The wind is blowing away the things that entangle you, stripping it all away and it’s too hard to hold onto it all against the force of the wind. There is burn from the wind it seems so sharp at times. Stay on course and remember that you are persevering and you are putting one foot in front of the other, determining to stay on course. Your heavenly father is proud of you as his child enduring and persevering and he is coming to meet you in this place. In fact, he is already here with you now.
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. This is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4
HERE HE IS, HERE HE COMES
Here he is in all his glory! Here he comes to bring life to his children. Here he comes to bring in the new phase of his redemptive work in your life and on the earth. In his great love he comes for his people. What are you waiting for? Run ahead, let it go and run unhindered into all he has for you – freedom for your soul, restoration of your peace, reestablishment of your purpose and mission, direction for next steps, witnessing of his work in front of you.
Here he comes, the great exchange of your life for real life. In the real life he will reset you ready for movement ahead, reawaken your dreams, reset the direction. Throw it off and run into his arms.
HERE HE COMES.
