The Lord says:
"Unexpected blessings are coming your way, as you look forward in this new season! Exciting things are coming your way! Receive by faith! The enemy may try to discourage you or stop you from moving forward into a greater season of blessings. The enemy may try to cause you to stay 'in the box' and stay in your old cycle. The enemy may even try to cause you all kinds of irritation and nuisance just to discourage you. But take authority and bind all these, in My name! Slam the door against all these works of the enemy! Because I have spoken today this is your time to walk in the greater blessings that I have for you!"
Indeed, this is your time to walk in the greater blessings that the Lord, your Good Father, has in store for you!
Recently, have you experienced all kinds of irritation and nuisance here and there? And you know these are sent by the enemy against you to discourage you or to stop you from moving forward.
You are not alone!
Or recently, have you experienced situations when you thought you've missed your time, or you've missed a good opportunity? And the enemy would compound it by saying, "Aha! There you see! Your God has forgotten you! Your God has bypassed you! Your God has moved on from you!"
Now, reject all these lies! Bind all these, in Jesus' name! Because I tell you what, you have not missed your time and season! Yes, you may have made some mistakes in your past. But the Lord will work all things for good according to His purpose in your life. So, look ahead! Let go of those regrets! Forgive yourself! Because you are now headed for the new that the Lord has for you! Greater blessings are coming your way!
So, don't allow those so-called "missed timing, missed chances, missed opportunities" to hamper you or discourage you from receiving greater future blessings! You see, sometimes God does allow you to miss certain things, certain timing, certain chance, or certain opportunity in life; but that doesn't mean He has forgotten you. In fact, that simply means He has even greater things in store for you, and even greater opportunities in store for you, going forward!
God sees further. He knows exactly what you are going through. He knows exactly what is ahead. When He allows certain 'missed opportunity' or 'missed timing', or so you thought, it's so that you will have a greater opportunity in the new season! In fact, sometimes He allows the so-called 'missed opportunity' or 'missed timing' in order to prevent certain trouble or danger from happening to you!
If you've been walking with the Lord, and if you've been walking in the Spirit; sometimes the Holy Spirit can restrain you from going ahead on certain things. Maybe you have wanted to do this. Maybe you have wanted to do that. Maybe you have wanted to go here. Maybe you have wanted to go there. But somehow the Holy Spirit never gives you that peace to go ahead. In other words, the Holy Spirit is restraining you. Now, there is always a reason when the Holy Spirit restrains you from moving ahead in a certain area of your life, and at a certain time in your life. He sees further ahead. He sees further than you. When He restrains, it is because He wants to prevent certain evil or certain danger from happening in your life. So, flow with Him. Flow with His timing. Do not rue those 'missed chances' or 'missed timing'. Do not allow yourself to feel sad about those 'missed chances' or 'missed opportunities'.
Romans 8:28 says, 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.'
Your God is a Good Father. We sometimes don't understand why certain things happened in our life. You know what, it's like an artist drawing on a blank piece of paper. We do not understand, and we cannot even figure out what he's drawing at that time. But in the end, as you look, you begin to see the full picture, the whole picture. Indeed, God is in the midst of drawing a wonderful masterpiece. It is the same in your life. God is in the midst of drawing a masterpiece in you. He knows exactly what He's doing in your life. He always sees the whole picture. He always sees the end from the beginning. He knows what's best for you. After all, He knows you inside out. He is your Creator!
So, take heart, my friend. He is a Good Father to you, and He is still a Good Father in your life. Keep looking to Him and putting your trust in Him.
Isaiah 64:8 says, 'But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our Potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.'
God identifies Himself as a Father to you. He is a Good Father. He is the Perfect Father. He is perfect in all His ways, unlike human fathers, because no human is perfect. But He is perfect, and He loves you. That's how He as your Heavenly Father sees you. That's how He as your Heavenly Father feels for you. He wants you to know today that there's no one else who loves you more than He does. Because of this very reason, you can place all your trust in Him. You can trust that He is always seeking your good. He has never meant to harm you. His thoughts for you are always thoughts of peace, that brings a future and a hope in your life.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.'
You see, this is His promise for you, that you will find Him. When you find Him, you will find your purpose, and you will find your destiny in your life!
So, it doesn't matter what those 'missed chances', 'missed opportunities', or 'missed timing' in your life may be. Let go of those. Look to the Lord instead. Receive from Him afresh. Receive His peace. Receive His hope. And you'll be sure you're going to walk into the greater blessings that He has promised you. Amen!
