Behold, it's time to stop hiding behind walls of fear (What if such and such happens?); it's time to stop hiding behind walls of doubt (It'll never happen); it's time to stop hiding behind walls of disappointment (It didn't happen). Winter has passed. Rise up and come away!

Why is it necessary to move from glory to glory? The reason is because in every season of glory, we experience a new order that God brings to our lives as we mirror His image to a greater extent.

"And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like Him and reflect His glory even more." - 2 Corinthians 3:18

Affirmation:

The growth of my faith is not like the growth of natural things that have built-in limitations.

2021 will be a year of moving from glory to glory. This will involve a commitment to remain focused and established in Him. He desires to shine through us.

It is a time to let go of our past, cross over and not look back. After crossing, Israel continued to murmur and complain while desiring to go back to Egypt. They would have rather returned to bondage than believe and trust God during their journey.

When God sought to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, the angels instructed Lot and his family to leave quickly and NOT LOOK BACK! Yet, Lot's wife did look back, and therefore, she was turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:17-26). By looking back at the evil cities, she betrayed all of her heart's secret longings for the previous perverted lifestyles.

it's time to let go of the past. If we grieve over (and resist letting go of) relationships or lifestyles that hinder our relationship with God, it's a sign of a compromised heart. Through the story of Lot, we witness another one of God's unique plans to deliver us. Many times, it involves letting go of something. It's time to let go of our past behavior, old belief systems, mindsets, etc.

It's time to put off the old man and put on the new. It's time to let go of old patterns of behavior and set our face like flint toward advancing God’s Kingdom in the earth. Don't look back. Remember Lot's wife whenever you are attempted to go back.

Let's move past our past. Let's all let go and grow to a new level in our Christ calling to bear fruit that remains

Don't allow the past pain, the loss and the disappointments to cause you to miss your divine appointment! God is breathing life into a new beginning for us. The wind of the Spirit is blowing away the chaff and the usable fruit is flowing forth. Because the Lord is faithful and is redeeming us from our past, we are sensing it's time seek and pursue God’s purpose for our life. Yes, it's time to go home and eat at our Father's table.

This is a season of divine favor and the prodigal sons are returning home again. The Lord, the Redeemer, the King, is meeting us in the field!

The more you surrender your life to Christ and die to self, the more you give room for the Holy Spirit to work in you and release His power through you.

Our addiction to “Certainty” demands explanations for the mystery of faith that tragically reduces an approach to life that deceives us into believing that life can be “solved” by techniques and formulas. Sometimes our impatience for answers to our questions is a sign of our need to control others and circumstances.

The modern-day Church is managed by intellectuals that are cognitively aware of the worldview they espouse and intimately aware that those who take their lead en masse have no clue whatsoever. There is a reason the metaphor of sheep is used for humanity in Scripture.

"People of Zion, be glad and find joy in the Lord your God. The Lord has given you the Teacher of Righteousness. He has sent the autumn rain and the spring rain as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain. The vats will overflow with new wine and olive oil." – (Joel 2:23-24)

God is promising that at the threshing floor, when it's hard, He will bring forth grain and a full harvest. Your vats will overflow with wine and oil. The new wine is symbolic of the Holy Spirit and the oil is symbolic of the anointing.

Get ready for the increased anointing on your life. Expect an anointing of favor and power! He is the God of more than enough. Walk in confidence and have faith for favor. You have come to the threshing floor and it is now time for the overflow of God's blessings to be released!

Suppose you encounter a person who is deceitful, sinful, and corrupted. As a Christian, what should your attitude be toward him?

Before answering, consider this:

remember the days before you received God's Grace. Apart from God's grace, were you stronger that he is?

Apart from God's grace, were you purer than he is?

Apart from God's grace, were you holier than he is?
