Many times, before a promise comes to pass, you have to go through a season of silence where you don’t see anything changing. This is when many people give up on what they’re believing for. But just because you don’t see anything happening doesn’t mean God is not working.
Let God remove what He knows is keeping you from the true you. Unforgiveness is keeping you from shining. Insecurity, compromise, anger are blocking the best you from coming out. Work with God. Be willing to change.
The only thing that’s holding some people back is who they’re spending time with. It’s amazing the difference it will make if you’ll get around people that inspire you, people that challenge you to go further.
It may be uncomfortable. You don’t understand why you lost a contract, lost a relationship, lost an opportunity, but God wouldn’t have let you lose it if He wasn’t going to give you something better. Don’t get discouraged by the cutback; it means new growth is coming.
You came into a cutback season; that’s not a surprise to God. Now, whether you stay there or not depends on what you do. If you get bitter, go around defeated, then you’ll get stuck. Realize that cutback is a sign that new growth is coming.
The battle is taking place in our minds. Don’t accept the lies that it’s permanent and it’s going to take a long time. The trouble is temporary. You have to turn it around and say, “Father, thank You that this will resolve sooner than it looks.”
Here’s the key, the how is not as important as the who. When you know who you are—a child of the Most High God, crowned with favor, with royal blood flowing through your veins—then the who will override the how.
