I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘DO NOT FIND YOURSELF CAUGHT IN DELAY BY LIVING IN COMPARISON OF OTHERS’ SEASONS’
Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘Do not find yourself caught in delay by living in comparison of others’ seasons.’
As the Lord spoke these words I continued to lean into His heart and listen:
‘My precious people, there is major transition taking place in many ways right now. I am calling you up higher in guarding your hearts and your focus as I am moving in your midst in greater ways than you can see.
‘I say unto you, that there are many living in places of comparison by placing their eyes upon the seasons that others are walking in and longing to walk in the footsteps of others. I say unto you, that there is only grace, My grace, for following MY WAYS and where I am leading you and what I am leading you into.
‘I say unto you, do not find yourself caught in delay by looking to the left and the right to what others are doing, what they are building, how they are building, the landscape of their season and the move of My Spirit in their midst. For if you do, you will find yourself caught in delay as you will be contained in confusion and hopelessness and there will be a perishing for lack of vision. (Proverbs 29:18) I say unto you, remain faithful to where I have called you. Remain faithful to what I have spoken to you. For My plans for you are GOOD and I am doing a deep work within you that you cannot yet see the extent of.
‘I say unto you, that I am calling you to consecrate yourselves and your hearts to Me and My ways and My works in your midst. I know that the seasons have been long for many of you, I know how painful and how hard the seasons have been. I know the depths of weariness that many of you are finding yourselves in. But I say unto you, that My grace is sufficient for you and My power is made perfect in your weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
‘I say unto you, that I am faithful to fulfil ALL that I have promised you and I am not a God who forgets. I am not a man that I should lie. (Numbers 23:19) I am not only going to restore ALL and MORE to you than ever before, but I am leading you into the dawning of a new day in many areas of your lives. And as you are in these places of major transition – moving further into the new day and new dawns that are upon you – you MUST guard your hearts (Proverbs 4:23) and you must consecrate your eyes to look only to Me and what I AM doing in your midst.
‘For there is great revelation, insight and wisdom that I am bringing to you as you look to Me and humble yourselves before Me and listen to My voice in the season that you are walking. Anything and everything that the enemy meant for your harm, I am and WILL turn for your good, (Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28) but you MUST guard your hearts against distraction and against coveting another’s season. For this is bringing delay into your midst and you will find yourselves stuck in hopelessness, despair and with perishing visions.
‘NOW is the time to arise and to encourage yourselves in Me, like David did. (1 Samuel 30:6) Now is the time to ferociously focus on Me and to tell your soul who I am and that I am FAITHFUL. Where your heart attempts to lead you into comparison, where insecurity has taken root, I say unto you; I am bringing you deeper into My heart and the revelation of My love to see insecurity uprooted once and for all. I say unto you, that so many of you, My precious people, have lived with such deep insecurity; and I say unto you, that as you come to Me and lay your fears and your hearts before Me, this is the day that I am healing your hearts. I am bringing you into deeper realms of freedom and I am awakening you in a greater way to SEEING yourselves as I have created you to be.
‘You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) I am bringing you deeper into the places of seeing My delight in who you are, you are the apple of My eye and you have captured My heart. (Song of Songs 4:9-12) I am bringing you deeper into the revelation of who you are in Me and who I AM in you. I am removing insecurity and apology from your hearts, by My Spirit. I am breaking off the words that others have spoken over you about who you are and what you carry. I am breaking these words off of you once and for all. For many of you are in the greatest transition of your lives thus far; where you are moving into a greater fullness of walking in your identity in Me and your authority in Me – without insecurity and without comparison and apology. I am doing a MIGHTY work within your hearts that you do not yet even see the extent of.
‘Oh, the new day that is upon you. Oh, the glorious joy that you shall walk in that is rooted in who I am and what I am calling you to walk in and do with Me. Give no ear to the lies of the enemy. Do not entertain his accusations. Come up higher. What does My Word say about who you are and what are the promises I have given you? My people, do not elevate the accusation of the enemy above the truth of My Word. I AM FAITHFUL! I WILL DO WHAT I HAVE PROMISED! I am leading you up and out of many things that have kept you bound, contained and shackled; as you seek Me and humble yourselves before Me following in My ways.
‘I am calling you, My people, come UP and OUT of comparison. Repent for comparison and know that I am leading you and I am guiding you into a new day and new dawn in many areas of your lives that you have not even yet perceived. Where you have found yourselves in comparison and have seen fruits of delay, I say unto you, by My mighty hand, the winds of acceleration and power of My Spirit will blow and come upon you and break the delay that has contained you.
‘For there has been a great assault against many of you to attempt to keep you in delay and to keep you stuck; but I am greater than any attempt of the enemy to continue to lure you and bait you into comparison, hopelessness and fear. My voice is breaking through to bring you up and out of that which the enemy is trying to keep you contained in. Align with My Word and align with My voice, by faith, and watch the resolve increase within you to walk in the revelation and truth of My Word and not move from it.
‘My people, where the enemy has been coming hard against many of you with intense accusation – about who you are, what you carry and what I am calling you to do and build in this hour – and has come with such intensity: it is because in this major transition, I AM NOW UPGRADING THE VISION. The enemy is attempting to keep you confined and contained in comparison and have your eyes distracted on others’ seasons because of the UPGRADE OF THE VISION that is being released to you. I am not only bringing you into deeper realms of wholeness, heart health, deliverance and discernment – as you walk with Me in deep intimacy and listen to My voice – but some of the greatest assignments of your lives with Me are now being released.
‘Oh, My people, watch the mighty release of PROVISION for the UPGRADED VISION. Many of you are and some of you are about to step into major assignments with Me that I have been preparing you for – some for decades and others for your whole lives. The enemy is terrified of you stepping into the assignments that I am releasing and about to release to you; where you shall partner with Me to see some of the greatest moves of My Spirit, in and through you, that you have ever seen.
‘I say unto you, where you look to Me and not meditate and focus on the seasons of others and compare and covet seasons, and where you follow Me in obedience, I say unto you: you will NOT be delayed. I say unto you, that your days of hiding and timidity are OVER. I say unto you, that you are stepping into the greatest days of boldness in Me that you have ever walked in. No longer will you walk with insecurity and apology, but oh, the fire you shall carry, the fire of My Word that will burn within you greater than you have known. You shall walk in greater realms of boldness because you have been with Me, (Acts 4:13) you have seen Me and you KNOW who I am and who you are in Me.
‘For many of you, the battle has waged so intensely because this is a new era for you in your lives. You have entered a new era with Me and you shall step into new assignments, strategies and a move of My Spirit and co-labouring with Me in a way you have not before. This moment is crucial in the transition, that you fall not into comparison: guard your hearts, minds and eyes. Step out from comparison and look to Me, for a whole new day of hosting My presence and seeing My Glory is upon you in what I have called you to do.’
