ARE YOU GOING THROUGH A TRANSITION?

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10

“My times are in thy hand.” Ps 31:15 KJV

How well and sometimes how quickly you transition depends on certain factors. Let’s look at five of them: (1) How much do you trust God? You won’t follow God if you don’t trust Him. Many shifts even shifts that bring increase and blessing into your life can stretch you beyond your natural limits. They can take you out of your comfort zone. Trusting God means “we walk by faith, not by sight (2Co 5:7 NKJV). (2) Do you know the Word? “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Ro 10:17 KJV). If you want to build your faith, you need to meditate on God’s Word day and night (see Jos 1:8). Knowing and acting on the Word will help you through difficult and uncomfortable times of transition. (3) Are you yielded to the Spirit? “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Ro 8:14 NKJV). Yielding to the Spirit of God will produce peace in the storms that often come in times of transition. (4) How’s your prayer and fasting life? Prayer and fasting are a one-two punch against your own carnal nature and against Satan’s strategies in your life. (5) With whom are you aligned? “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecc 4:12 NKJV). There’s great strength in spiritual synergy. The Bible says that one man can chase a thousand, but two men can put ten thousand to flight (see Dt 32:30 NIV). Practicing these five principles will make your transition easier and a lot more enjoyable.
