Times of Transition
Times of Transition

In times of transition, God is weaving the puzzles together. Almighty God is working behind the scene. Seemingly, nothing much is happening. Actually, the Only Wise One is causing all things to work together, so that a meaningful outcome will come forth.
During these times, we must relax and allow the wind of change to blow us to the promised land. We must guard our mind from doubt and double-mindedness. We must make a strong decision in our hearts to wholly follow God. We must lay the past behind. All the memories of sufferings, failures, good or bad choices, we must forget them all. We must cast down all vain imaginations and the fear of unknown on the cross of Calvary. Allow the blood of Jesus to wash over our mind, our emotions and our bodies. Allow the Holy Spirit to bring restoration and recovery to our entire beings.
If our mind is willing to cooperate with this first stage of letting go of the past, the wind of change will blow faster as it is a sign that we are READY to possess. If disobedience gets in the way, you could be stuck on this first stage of recovery process. Scripture says, we must set our mind and keep it set on things above. Paul beseeches us to only meditate on things that are TRUE, noble, pure, lovely and of GOOD REPORT. Paul did not tell us to entertain lies, trials, demonic attacks, lack or rejection in the past. So, friends, RENEW YOUR MIND. Everyday, Holy Spirit is trying to renew your mind. But you must cooperate. Do not plan to have one more suffering. Instead, get ready to cross over to the land flowing with honey and milk. Before you can taste the good of the land, your mind must be ready for God’s rain of goodness. Offer your mind and your heart as a living sacrifice to God by filling your mind on good, acceptable and perfect will of God---which means ONLY GOODNESS AND MERCY CAN COME TO ME.
In the past years, you might go through trials like David: hiding in the cave, escaping from your enemies, always on the move, never have much rest. But now, the time of trial is over. Saul was dead. Renew your mind. The throne is prepared for David. Now is David’s time. So, be prepared to put on royal robes and eat delicacies. Friends, if Joshua and Caleb can make it to the end, you can also do it. If Joshua and Caleb can forget 40 years’ wilderness suffering, you can also attain it. As a matter of fact, because of Caleb’s faithfulness, God has kept his promises for him.
Caleb was as strong as the day Moses sent him. Moses sent him to spy on the land when he was 40 years old. He brought back good report because he trusted in God. Now he is 85 years old. Through that 45 years, Caleb wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. He never turned to the right or to the left. His mind always recalled the great day when the Red Sea was opened and the Egyptians were punished severely. He did not allow wilderness suffering to overwhelm him. He kept renewing his mind and deliberately remembered the goodness of God. As a result, he received his inheritance and the promises of God. (Joshua 14:6-15)
Waiting is like getting on a ferry or ship. You gaze at the sky and the sea. You thought you have to wait for a while before it arrives. Nevertheless, without your conscious awareness, suddenly, immediately, you turn back and finds out all the passengers are leaving the ferry. What happens? Because WAITING IS OVER. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. Be ready, for the promises are coming at an hour you do not expect. (Matthew 24:42) Do not plan to wait forever. Posture yourself to move forward and possess the promised land. It does not take that long for the ferry to go from one place to another.
Friends, be assured in all your hearts, and in all your souls that not one thing will fail of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke CONCERNING YOU. All will surely come to pass for you. Not one word of them will fail. (Joshua 23:14)
