The Shift is Here!
This is more of a prophetic word for this season which is very different from my normal blogging… I pray you receive what God has for you to receive!
Transitional Shift is what I keep hearing in my spirit.
A few weeks ago, I had a word spoken over me that I was fixing to see elevation, another word said there was a transition coming, another word said because of my obedience I was about to see acceleration in my purpose. All of this comes down to two words… “Transitional Shift”! I don’t feel this is just a word for me but a word for the body as a whole.
For the last 8 days my kids and I have traveled 2400 miles and as we drove it was so crazy to see how many different cultures and landscapes there are from state to state. Usually when we travel my husband drives and I’m reading, on my phone or coming up with a blog or message but this time he stayed home, and it was just me and my kids. I drove all 2400 miles from Oklahoma through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Arkansas so I was very observant to my surrounding and let me tell you this… you could literally tell as you crossed the borders that you were entering into another state! The roads change, and the landscaping is different, some better than others, and when you stop to get fuel or something even the accents change.
I am one of those people that thinks a lot and usually gets downloads from Holy Spirit as I drive in a quiet car. Most of the time my kids were sleeping so I would just drive and think. I began remembering back to our mandate here on this earth… To bring the culture of heaven (the Kingdom of God) into every sphere of influence that we enter in to. I think about how different Texas is from Mississippi or how Oklahoma is from Georgia, the climate is different, the colors of the grass and trees are different, the atmosphere is so different. As you pass from state to state if you’re not careful you can find yourself being drawn to a land you’re not supposed to live in because of the beauty, culture or even your perception of the people. It seems so inviting and responsibility free! I hear in my spirit this is the current condition of the body of Christ, we have so many displaced people because they began to feel the pressures of the responsibilities of life and found a place that seemed inviting and freeing and latched on.
During my travels I spoke at an amazing church in Mississippi and traveled on up to Georgia and attended a church there. These two churches functioned very similar to my home church but the different dynamics of my speaking anointing and the welcoming of the people at both churches would make most latch on to that and say… “this here is what I want to be a part of”… but I know that is not where God has planted my feet in this season of my life. So, you impart what He’s given and receive what He has for you there and you keep yourself aligned where He has you as you press into the responsibility of His call! People are faced with so many different “denominations or religions” and most are drawn to what pleases them at that time in their life and they move on when they no longer are getting what they “want” from the church.
But God told me there is a transitional shift coming to the body. He says that the season of comfort setting is over and the season of “His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” is here! We can no longer be tossed back and forth by what’s comfortable. Taking a vacation, sitting at the beach and being free from responsibility is VERY COMFORTABLE… But God is saying that vacation season is over! It’s warring time! It’s time to take HIS KINGDOM CULTURE into all these different lands and transform them spiritually until the worlds culture looks, sounds, acts and portrays HIS CULTURE!
I have been talking a lot about the Kingdom Culture! It is so vital that the body of Christ grab a hold of this and begin to walk in unity instead of division. God is doing a new thing in His body and those who choose to grasp a hold of it will flourish like crazy and begin to see acceleration and transitional shifts take place in their lives!
The Word tells us in Isaiah 43:19 “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wastelands.”
Ephesians 4 tells us this “There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call – one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father OF ALL, WHO IS OVER ALL and THROUGH ALL and IN ALL!”
If you go on to read in Ephesians 4 we are told that we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from who the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in LOVE!!
We are transitioning into a new mindset…. A KINGDOM MINDSET… and it is so important to realize that the Kingdom is God’s mindset! It takes men and women rising up TOGETHER, every nation, every person to create the body of Christ! We can no longer be like the different states I traveled through, looking like a totally different culture at every border! We can no longer fight over who is suppose to be silent and who is allowed to speak... There is no gender in the spirit and the Holy Spirit speaks to men and women and we have to understand.. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!! We can no longer set back and allow the enemy to tempt our brothers and sisters with “comfort, beauty and no responsibility”! We have to take responsibility, put our boots on the ground, step into proper perspective, align with the vision… GOD’S VISION… ONE BODY and FIGHT TOGETHER!!
Transition – a movement, development, evolution from one form, stage, or style to another; an abrupt change in energy state!
Shift – to change the place, position or direction of!
Transitional Shift – There is coming directional change in the movement of God, the stage of maturity in the body of Christ and the level of spiritual energy to get the job done for those who choose to walk in humility, honor and obedience to HIM, EACH OTHER, and OUR LEADERS is on the brink!!
I encourage you today… Ask God what areas of your life need a transitional shift to take place in order to align you properly in the body for you to get your boots on the ground and get in the mess of the fight!!!!!!
Father thank You for the truth of Your Word! Thank You for revelation and we receive Your truth with great expectation for our NOW SEASON!! I declare over every person reading this that Your truth resonates deep into their Spirits and as they meditate on Your Word Holy Spirit will begin to go in and reveal hidden things so that we can all walk in total wholeness in order to be Kingdom minded warriors for YOUR KINGDOM!! Father we declare YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!!! We declare this in our home lives, our church families lives, the body of Christ as a whole and our work places! Let each of us be YOU to this world… let us be a light (truth) in the darkness (lack of understanding) … let us be atmosphere shifters and culture changers! Let us be the perfect example of YOU - LOVE AND FORGIVENESS to this world! In Jesus name! Amen.
