Navigating Prophetic Seasons 1 (Behold I Do A New Thing)
Lift up your voice and pray in the Holy Ghost.
Pray: Father, give me an encounter by Your Spirit and by Your Word.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Genesis 1:14 (KJV)
There are lights that signify seasons, and there are lights that signify years. Light transcends illumination.
If your eyes are not trained, and your understanding isn’t equipped, prophetic seasons can pass you by and be aborted due to ignorance.
In God’s economy, nothing happens on the earth that should take men by surprise; there would always be a witness in partnership with God. (Amos 3:7-8)
1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 KJV, 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV
The merging of numerous prophetic seasons defines your lifetime, and the quality of your life hinges on your spiritual intelligence to discern and navigate through these seasons.
Those who leave a lasting impact in this kingdom are the ones capable of interpreting the signs and pointers to prophetic seasons.
Prophetic seasons bring about changes in patterns.
When prophetic seasons are not discerned appropriately, they can result in a loss of relevance.
Remaining relevant requires discerning seasons and reinventing oneself.
“Remember ye, not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV)
“Remember ye not” is a powerful warning, as God is attempting to guide your focus by redirecting your attention.
Over-dwelling on the past, both negative and positive, can hinder your advancement and progress in life.
There is a failure requirement that becomes an anchor, bringing balance and stability to you in the presence of success.
Judges 6:13-15 KJV
Overconfidence has destroyed many great believers.
You must know how to celebrate success and create a boundary that helps you look beyond past results, focusing on the visions of the now and the future. (Judges 16:18-21)
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)
No one moves forward, looking backward.
“Behold” is a prophetic instruction that prompts believers to pay rapt attention to the communication and promptings of the Spirit of God regarding a particular season and area of their lives (Isaiah 43:19, Acts 3:3-5).
Peter walked on water as long as he was focused on Jesus, but he got distracted by the waves. When you behold, it doesn’t stop the presence of waves. Remain focused. (Matthew 14:22-33)
“Behold” can mean that God can give you an instruction, such as 80% instead of 10% of your earnings. Beholding involves not just your ears and eyes but also your heart and life.
Certain challenges in the lives of believers happen as a result of not submitting to God’s instruction to ‘behold’.
Beholding can take a long time, but it has a great impact. When you don’t ‘behold’, it can lead to a loss of relevance.
“I Do A New Thing”
God never does what you want or pray for; He does what is consistent with His Word. (Genesis 21:1)
The manifestation of God’s presence in a person’s life is only possible when it aligns with what is in His Word.
His Word moves to honor His speaking and leads to a manifestation of what He has said.
“The word ‘New’ sometimes suggests an unfamiliar path or a virgin dimension. There is a technique and technology for approaching new things.
Keys to Experiencing Prophetic Seasons
God is taking you on an unusual path. It may be a lonely route, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
Men who will understand, navigate, and excel in life are people who have the strength and courage to stand alone and be controversial. You cannot agree with everything and step into your prophetic destiny.
Be careful not to misinterpret your current season. Mary was in great trouble of losing her marriage, reputation, and credibility; yet, God said she was blessed and highly favored.
When it has to do with walking with God, creativity is not important. It is your alignment and your obedience that are paramount.
Do not limit yourself to just one or reject other spiritual arsenals; prayer, influence, wisdom, the angelic, your gifts, prosperity, etc. can play major roles in God’s end-time agenda.
