SEPARATION FOR PREPARATION - THE YEAR OF TESTED RELATIONSHIPS

“If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.” Matthew 10:37-38

This year for many has been a year of tested relationships!

Because of the urgency to spread the gospel with a PURE, UNDEFILED, UNCOMPROMISED, and UNHINDERED heart; there are some relationships God must remove from your life.

Many of you are feeling God’s intense wooing into a deeper prayer life, and more time in His Word and worship. In His presence is EVERYTHING you desire and hope for, to include a more powerful anointing that will require you to go to a higher place in HIM. A place where some cannot go!

Beware as you respond to this call, that there will be ones who will try to hide like a Chamaeleon but will be exposed as you step into your new assignment. They will be exposed through their easily offended and hurt demeanor as you step outside of the box THEY created for you. Beware of being disobedient to God for the sake of FALSE loyalty to long time allegiances. There are some who have been in your life for quite a while, but that long season has come to an end. You may not need to cut them off completely, but they will no longer have the influence they used to have.

This time of separation will not feel good and will not be easy, but God‘s GRACE is sufficient as HE has also prepared NEW connections/relationships for you. Relationships with ones who are already doing what you desire to do and are walking in the spiritual maturity you are being stretched into. They are men and women of integrity and KINGDOM purpose and they will not look like what you think. God is removing you from the box of your comfort zone.

As you are being prepared for this new season, you will encounter times of isolation as ones are being removed BEFORE ones are being added. But it’s OK! In your time of isolation, God wants to turn that into deep intimacy with him. In this time, your discernment will be sharpened to recognize those ordained assignments. Do not be eager to chase after anyone. God will lead them to you.

Regardless to the relationship (friend, family member) allow God to lead you into the understanding of who you must release… In love.

Do not be disobedient. You’re very purpose and destiny rests on it!
