When God says a season is over...

Don't be foolish-there's nothing holy about staying in season that God says is over. His anointing provides for each season He calls us to-if we stay beyond the call...it ain't pretty! The human mind seeks order & resolve-it's God design. We don't like to leave a season before we've finished our job; we cling to Galatians 6:9,"don't grow weary, for in due season you will reap a harvest."

Listen closely, "due season" is the operative phrase-you will see a harvest in the "due season" God's called you to...not the one He's called you from. Staying in a season that God's called you from...makes you disobedient & you will labor in vain unless the Lord is with you (Ps 127:1-2). If you believe the Holy Spirit has whispered that it's time for you to leave a season, then you need to get moving. It's risky to lay down what you thought you'd be involved in for seasons to come. Many will ask you to reconsider & reminisce old times-don't go there with them or in your mind!

Doubt will whisper, "you're a quitter," & you feel like you're giving up, but what you're giving up is...your plans for God's plans-God will reward your obedience. Don't  open the door to reasoning-rely on faith: faith sees what the mind can't comprehend, being certain of God's direction despite the evidence in your hands (2 Cor 5:7)! You won't miss Him when you're seeking to obey-He goes before you & follows you with His hand of blessing on your head (Ps 139:5). God's Word is your confidence in all matters; developing you in every season so you lack nothing because He gives wisdom generously & without finding fault (James 1:4-5). Don't be foolish...there's nothing Holy about staying in a season that God says is over! 1/14/14CIFL/LMM #seasonisover #timetogo #letitgo #christianinsightforlife
