In our market-driven consumer culture, we must understand that the change that we are seeking is not just another fad or scheme to draw a few more people and push a new “product”. Rather, it is a God directed changing of seasons. The times and seasons are in His realm of control (Acts 1:6,7) and not ours. We are not originators, but rather responders and how we respond will determine our future impact and destiny.

If you recall the events that led to the announcement that Moses had died, you will remember that it was God who took Moses up to the mountain to show him the land of promise and there He buried him. It was obvious to God and should be to us that there are things in our lives that God must bring to a close in order to move us on to the next level of promise. How many times have we all clung to a former glory because it was familiar or comfortable when the call was to “arise and cross this Jordan”!

May I challenge those of you who are reading to remember that the pathway to fulfillment and fruitfulness demands that we be willing to give up where we are and who we are at this present moment in order to become and possess what we were destined for. It amazes me that so many spirit-filled believers that God has given the keys to a new house are always being found at their old address. Get out of there! It is time to move on. There is much promise to be realized!
