Shedding the Skin of an Old Season

There is a 'right-now word' emerging from the heart of the Spirit, emanating from the Heaven of heavens and I felt it necessary to release it to you now. 

Somebody's life is shifting.  Somebody's world is changing.  Somebody's destiny is awakening at this very time.  Times and seasons are shifting and a company of people are coming out of their nightmare scenarios.

Earlier this evening the Spirit of the Lord spoke the following to me to:

'Tell My people that they are coming out of their caves.  They are coming out of their prisons.  They are coming out of their wildernesses.  They are entering 'the Time of their Rising'

They're being realigned, reassigned and repositioned out of their Nightmare Scenarios into their Dream States 

(Your 'Dream State' is the place you've dreamed of being but have been unable to access because of the warfare, opposition and transition cycles you've been stuck in.  It's the places God told you He would take you before all hell broke loose).

Tell them they are shedding the skin of an old season.   

The former things are passing away.  As I spoke to Moses and released him from his personal wilderness in Midian, I am awakening the warrior/leader in my people and sending them forth into new seasons and new assignments.   

I am breaking the patterns of the former things.  I am setting a new call upon the lives of many.  New things do I decree.

Tell them that they are indeed emerging from the shadows of their transitions and that they will walk in a dimension of My Light they have never known.   

Tell my people that their season of preparation and transition is ending'.  

As the Lord dealt with me tonight regarding the word I just shared with you, He has further emphasized several other things to me that I feel to share at this time.

First, this word is not for everyone.  Indeed, the Lord spoke to me that this word is exclusively for His 'Coming Out Company'

Over the past few years the Lord has shown me that there is a company of saints whose battles, seasons, and sorrows have been more intense than others.  These mighty warriors have been through staggering transitions, losses, and sorrows.

Subsequently, they've been in extreme seasons of isolation and abandonment.  They've been left alone to wrestle some big devils in dark shadows. They've been rejected, forgotten and disconnected.  They've warred against an unrelenting sense of hopelessness and despair. 

Be of good cheer: new oil is flowing out of old pain and these wounded warriors are being called to the forefront of a new season clothed in victory, opportunity and strength.  They're being armed by the Spirit in the garments of favor and success.  This 'Company's time' is changing!

Their warfare has been of a greater intensity than the normal battles we face.  Please hear me on this:  everything this Company has been through has been preparation for an unprecedented shift of the Holy Spirit. 

What's coming is not merely a revival in the former sense that we've known it.  The Spirit of God is raising up, authenticating, mantling and releasing a new breed of Kingdom leaders who will take their worlds by storm. 

There are significant apostolic mantles being possessed by these warriors in this season.   You're about to discover why your transitions have been so deep, so long, so intense and so unjust. 

Today, as the Lord spoke to about this Coming Out Company (that's what He called it) He gave me the following paradigms:

• Joseph coming out of prison to take possession in the Pharaoh's court
• Moses' release from his 40 years in Midian to lead Israel out of Egypt
• Elijah's emergence from the cave at Horeb & the devastating season of Jezebel's torment

There are two distinct common denominators with these three men that the Spirit of the Lord is emphasizing in this word:

• Deep, intense personal transitions
• Destiny Doors that only God can open

There is an emphasis in this season on Doors that Only God can Open!

Those of you for whom this is a right-now prophetic word, please hear me on this: God's orchestrating the opening of destiny doors on your behalf.  They are strategic, miraculous and will close out your transition season. 

The Holy Spirit wants you to know that He is opening doors that only He can open.  Your deliverance, recovery and repositioning will have His fingerprints all over the door knob. 

He's going to strategically reposition your steps in right places.  You're going to walk in an element of synchronicity with the Holy Spirit that you've never experienced.  It will be heavenly and the results will be anything unlike the results you've been experiencing.

Do not wrestle at this time: rest.  God alone can open the doors you need to walk through.  Avoid unnecessary warfare, He's warring on your behalf.  Listen intently to the Voice of the Spirit.  He will gently lead you into His paths of peace. 

Like Joseph emerging from prison, Moses emerging from the wilderness and Elijah emerging from the cave at Horeb, this Coming Out Company is emerging from their transitions mantled with new authority, clothed with a spirit of fearlessness and postured in a state of dominance.  You will dominate in this season!

This 'Coming Out Company' is emerging into the Time of their Rising.

The word 'emerge' means 'to rise to a position of prominence from a position of obscurity and inferiority'.  This is the move that the Spirit of God is making in this time. 

Be encouraged my brother, my sister, my fellow warrior.  Your labor is not in vain.  Your course in transition is over and you're indeed shedding the skin of an old season. 

It's Time!

Behind Closed Doors

'What God cultivated in your life in your last season He's using to elevate you in this season'

 2 Kings 4:1-7 gives the account of a widow who's husband (a prophet who'd served in Elisha's prophetic school) had died, leaving she and her two sons in crippling debt with her creditor coming to take her sons to be slaves as payment for the debt.

The Spirit of the Lord has been speaking to me on a prophetic level out of this passage and I'm convinced her story is a prophetic paradigm for many at this time.  As such, there are some truths that I feel impressed to share with you.

Let me begin with a strong word of encouragement.  Like the widow, many of God's people  have been in an extreme 'emptying season' where dreams, connections, revenue streams, and favor has died.  It seems every meaningful door in your life has been shut and you've discovered that, try as you might, you can't make the right doors open (if you can't relate to this you need to acknowledge how blessed you are, then take a minute to give God a shout for the sweet place you're in)

The result is that you're left in an empty and exhausted state without the resources to bring resolution to your crisis.  Indeed, it seems that chaos has become the order of your life. You've been crying out to God with little results, if any, to show for it.

2 Kings 4:1 'Now there cried a certain woman...'

 The word 'cried' implies that she'd been in a crying season but that something rose up within her to place a demand on that which yearned to emerge for her that she could not see and did not possess. 

A 'flow' rose up within her that placed a demand on something in the realm of the Spirit that desired to move on her behalf. 

There are blessings, breakthroughs, connections, revenue streams, and destiny events God has appointed for you that desire to emerge in your life in this season.

Her crying to the prophet speaks of a war cry that arises out of our wounding that touches a nerve with God and provokes a season of new movement in our lives.

'There is a war cry rising out of your wounding that is shaping the battle in your favor'
 

You need to know that your relentless perseverance in this season is highly impressive to God.  Your results may not show it yet but you've touched the heart of the Father and there is a new season of 'God movement' being released in your direction.

'Your cries in this season have touched a nerve with the Father'

 

The 'crying' you've been doing has cultivated a reservoir of great favor in the heart of God.  Subsequently, there is going to come a rich flow of favor, miracles, and newness out of your season of 'emptying endurance'.  You're about to be rewarded out of a reservoir of divine favor that your cries have tapped into. 

Hear me on this: there is a new season of fresh flow that is emerging out of the 'emptying season' you've been through.  In coming days you're going to be rewarded out of a reservoir of divine favor that you've never before tapped into'

The Dynamics of a Set-Aside Season

 
 2 Kings 4:4 '...you shall shut the door...and set aside that which is full.' 

Many of you have been wrestling with the dichotomy of being 'full in a Set-Aside season'.  By that, I mean that God has filled you with substance, greatness, vision, desire, and drive.  As a result there is a divine flow that He's cultivated in your life but He's not yet released you to the time, place, season, or right situation where you can flow in it.  Indeed, you've been processing the tension of possessing 'A flow' in a time of 'No Flow'. 
 

It seems as though God filled you with 'great substance' then set you aside for a season without clarity as to what's coming next.  The result has been a season of confusion, frustration, and uncertainty due to being 'full' in a Set-Aside season.
 

The 'flow' God's been cultivating behind the closed doors of your life is being repositioned to the 'market place' where He's been creating a demand for the flow you move in 

Anytime you process your way through a Set-Aside season of closed doors, limited opportunity, and personal isolation, what follows is a season of unprecedented enlargement. 
 

If you don't believe me just take a look at the season Moses spent in Midian before God called him to lead Israel out of Egypt.  Joseph's unlikely promotion over the state of Egypt was preceded by the closed doors of a prison where he flowed prophetically for others but could not find a flow to free himself.

The season you've been in is a precursor to uncommon opportunities and unprecedented doors being opened.  Indeed, a Set-Aside season always precedes the opening of destiny doors that only God can make happen.

In coming days you're going to experience the dynamic of divine release that unlocks closed doors, opens your destiny doors, repositions your feet in right places, and connects you with the right people.  Doors are being unlocked, your flow is being unblocked, and your time is reviving.

 The closed doors of your 'Set-Aside season' are opening, your time is changing, and your flow is going to find it's place of fulfillment.

 Get ready, God's sending good things your way.
