Transition

Recently, the Lord spoke to me that this is a time of transition for the Body of Christ. I, personally, am in a season where realignment is taking place. I have noticed that I am not alone in this shift. God is moving many of you out of your comfort zones and onto a new path of ministry that will set you on your course of destiny.

My journey with the Lord has been one of continual transition since the day I was filled with the Holy Spirit twelve years ago. I have learned through experience that as I move through this life from glory to glory, and increase in the knowledge of who God is, the fast track of the Kingdom can become bewildering. Wisdom and understanding are needed to proceed successfully.

Let's look at the word "transition". It is an interesting word, with several meanings that all basically mean CHANGE!!!! Webster's defines it this way:

1 a: passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another: change
b: a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another
2 a: a musical modulation
b: a musical passage leading from one section of a piece to another
3 : an abrupt change in energy state or level (as of an atomic nucleus or a molecule) usually accompanied by loss or gain of a single quantum of energy

Although, transition is a noun/thing, it is dependent on timing and obedience. For example, when worship begins to transition from one song to another, the moment of transition must flow in perfect timing in order to be successful. The team must follow the worship leader's direction to flow to the next phase of worship. Without perfect timing, the result is disastrous! In fact, it can be painful to experience for the musicians as well as the listener! The flow is lost. The focus is diverted to the noise. The initial purpose of the transition is aborted.

We must learn to flow in God's divine timing. He is, after all, the Master Conductor. The grand music score was determined before time began. It was during creation that divine timing was set in motion. In fact, your specific plan was fully set in order by the end of the sixth day of creation. Your life, your purpose and your destiny in God is a sure thing when you follow His lead. He has never changed His mind about you. He is pleased with what He has created and planned.

God finished the great music score of the Kingdom and it is a masterpiece I might add! He has orchestrated each and every note of the created realm. We are each an instrument playing our part in the symphony of life. Sometimes we play with excellence. Sometimes we need to "rehearse" a few more times to get our part right. The great thing is He is faithful to bring us to fulfillment of the part we are to play. He knows what instruction we need. He knows which instrument He designed you to play. He destined you to play a distinct sound in the song.

Now, the Word says that God rested after the sixth day of "creating/ composing". His confidence in His accomplishment should give us the faith to trust in His plan. His divine providence allows us to rest in His finished work.

Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His." (NKJV)

We must learn to enter into His seventh day rest to participate in the Kingdom song. Rest does not mean to cease. It simply means to stop striving for that which is already accomplished by the Lord - in Him, by Him, through Him. Today, He is calling you to seek His perfect timing for the transition on the horizon. Wait for His cue. You will not miss it. He is the Master Conductor and Creator of All Things, and He is faithful to lead you in your portion of the song.

Transition on! A new sound is about to be released through you!
