A CHANGE OF SEASON
Every
season we have to clean out our closets to change the clothes from the
previous season to the new season. We also have to change our apparel
according to the temperature of the season that we are in. The Holy
Spirit is showing me that this is the time for a change of garments as
we are coming into a new year and many of you are entering into to a new
season spiritually. Some of you have outgrown your old wardrobe and you
are being measured to be refitted with new apparel. Others will wear
"many hats" as Jesus is trusting you with a greater capacity. Just as
Jabez cried out to the Lord to enlarge his territory, the Lord is also
going to give you what you requested.
The
Lord says, adjust your apparel according to the seasons that I bring
you into. Make wise choices in all that you do. Make connections with
people who are spiritually stronger than yourself, who could mentor you
and advise you. Connect yourself with those who will compliment you and
encourage you. Never allow those who are living in compromise to pull
you down to their level. Many people don't understand the place that I
am taking you to, neither could they relate to that spiritual level. Do
not refuse the unfamiliar garments of righteousness and holiness that I
am clothing you in. Don't allow old mindsets to resurface, but allow Me
to continue to renew your mind.
Then
the Lord spoke to me about people having skeletons in their closets.
Skeletons in your closet could refer to past memories that you prefer
not to talk about with anyone, a secret sin, or something that you are
hiding from others.
The
Lord says; do not allow hidden agendas to hold you back, but allow Me
to release you from everything that is hindering you from advancing.
Allow Me to enter into every area of your life to bring victory and
restoration. I will release you of those burdens that you have been
carrying for years and bring wholeness to every area. Allow Me to bring
order where there has been disorder. Allow Me to bring comfort where
there has been discomfort. My love will fill those void places where
there has been so much hurt and rejection. Allow Me to heal your heart
that has been broken. I will remove the fatigue and exhaustion that has
been weighing you down and bring balance into every situation. Allow Me
to release you from hurtful memories of the past.
I
will restore the years that have been stolen in your life. Nothing from
you past could disqualify you from My plans. You will experience a new
freedom as you remove those obstacles from the closet. You will then
forget the past with all its mistakes and I will bring you into a fresh
start. Resist the temptations that will try to pull you back into your
old lifestyle so that you will not become entrapped once again. I will
give you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning as you release
everything to Me. Trust Me to remove any obstacle that is hindering you
from all that you were called to do. As you allow Me to purge your
closet of these garments that are weighing you down, you will experience
a new freedom and joy in Me says the Lord.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain." And
Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me
indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and
that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God
granted him what he requested.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore
we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let
us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and
let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto
Jesus, the author and finisher ofour faith, who for the joy that was set
before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at
the right hand of the throne of God.
