A FULL, COMPLETE AND PERFECT TIME FOR CHANGE
“But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.” (Exodus 14:13, BSB)
With a scriptural shofar blast I announce “The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.” (Numbers 11:23, BSB). I declare it Ito be the full, complete and perfect time for strategic change of a new spiritual order.
Change is one of the most difficult human processes we can encounter. Change draws upon the raw emotional tenets of a person. Oftentimes an individual is a reluctant participant of the change that is taking place around them. Yet we are passive creators of change although psychologically we resist it. Life changes makes people uncomfortable, simply because at the core of our being we are creatures of habit. Dealing with change, particularly if one is averse to the purpose for change, is complex, chaotic, unwelcome and brings anxiety. An initial but natural instinct is to resist change at a psychological level. Figuratively speaking, one will ‘turn their collar up against the wind’. With this attitude, the base visceral nature is to engage in a psychological battle of the will. This level of elementary fight elicits base negative responses.
There is no evidence that one’s psychological fight is making a difference to the change process but for a time it is emotionally satisfying. Resisting and being obstinate against the proposals and plans being set in place is a revealer of our hidden self and nuances. We may even surprise ourselves at our behaviour and the inner turmoil resulting from what we see as an unfavourable situation. The true biases and social discomforts erupts to the surface of the social being. We speak from the abundance of the teeming overrun heart.
In an organisation setting, collectively workers will engage in constructive resistance, psychologically and emotionally offloading their fight to arbitration or conciliatory action. Many organisations that embark upon a change process to working practices have met with levels of resistance from employees/members that have resulted in the breakdown of longstanding relationships.
Change must be seen as a necessary evil. It is a chaotic process and requires personal and social adjustments. Yet change is a necessary part of growth and development whether denominational, organisational or personal. Change will always tap into the raw feelings of our emotions. The life shifts or denominational/organisational changes that will make a difference will always meet with angst, uncomfortableness and anxiousness. The pain brings gain as one moves with determination and grit to be all they can be under the intensity of challenges. Let us not resist the Spirit-move for this season. It would be detrimental to the spiritual aligning taking place as the wheat and tares are separated in this next move of God.
I announce that it is a full, complete and perfect timing for heaven’s 7-fold intervention in our world. Those in the Body of Christ who are seeking God’s perfect will in this season of a new change order are exasperated, tired, drained and languishing for this next move of the Spirit. “Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. (Isaiah 59:1, BSB). I can go no further with this tiresome waiting. It is enough and it is full time for God to come through and act upon every word He has given His servants in the decade of ‘Ayin’ (5770-79) 2010-19. That amazing revelatory decade of dreams, visions and prophetic utterances by the Spirit must bear fruit now for this culminating season. “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7, BSB)
I am acutely aware that my role in the greater scheme of God’s New Order is a strategic one. Hence why it has been so tough as I was trained under the auspices of a loving doting Father. I now announce the imminent move of God as the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita), unfolds with Rosh Hashanah 5782 (2022) commencing at sundown 6th September. “And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, (11) when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.” (Deuteronomy 31:10-11, NKJV) I believe it is the full, perfect and complete time for the release of the strategic 7-fold end-time healing and restoration mantle. I also believe that the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation given to me during Passover 2020, is connected to this scriptural shofar blast. “On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. (38) Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him. ” (John 7:37-38, BSB). This Invitation is about to take on a life of its own for the Feast of Tabernacle, Sukkot 5782. The healing flow under the threshold of the tabernacle is about to flow immensely into the Arabah basins of our thirsty, languishing and dying world.
