Preparation Season

Thoughts from my journal

9/15/19

Nature has a beautiful way of shifting seasons. we know a season is about to transition just by the change of climate. When it gets cooler we know Autumn is coming. When it gets hot we are aware that summer is right around the corner. Before these seasons completely shift, we usually prepare ahead of time. We buy coats, sweaters, fleece-lined stockings, summer, dresses, etc. It's important to prepare for your next season. If winter begins and you don't have a coat, you are not fully ready for the season.

Your preparation in the current season will yield success in the new season. The way we see the seasons change in the natural is a reflection of how the seasons change spiritually. Sometimes you can feel the season shifting in your spirit. Begin to prepare through prayer and fasting, ask God what do I need to be looking for? What am I supposed to learn from this? Failing to prepare through prayer and fasting will cause you to be unprepared for all the next season has to offer.

We get the good, bad, and the ugly of each season. Prepare for it all! Prayer and fasting beings vision and clarity so you walk into your next season focused, prepared, and confident. You're already equipped you just have to consult God about what you have and how to properly use what you have. Seasons bring a lot of unexpected transitions so be prepared for them.

Your fruit in the next season is dependant on the quality of your preparation in the current season.

Prepare well!

The Lord woke me up one Sunday morning with this heavy on my mind. He was speaking to me but I thought anyone could use this word for their own lives. The process is never easy but it is necessary for where God is taking you. When the current season you are in is managed well, then God can bless you and trust you with bigger in the next one. If you are in a tough season, hang in there and keep the faith. Seasons don't last forever.
