The Lord says:
"A new cycle is coming for many of My people in the coming months. This is a season many of My people are seeing a new page turning in their lives. Do not be afraid of embracing the new that I have shown you. Look to Me and put your trust in Me."
The Lord says further:
"For some, I will even show you dreams to guide you and lead you. I will empower and enable you for what is to come. For some, you are moving on from one stage of life to another stage of life. For some, you are transiting into a new venture and opportunity. For some, you are being released from the old cycle into the new cycle that you have not known before."
There's a cycle and season in everything. When the Lord moves, you move. When the Lord's wave comes, you ride on it, like a surfer. That's how you move on in life. Ride on the wave of the Holy Spirit. Don't get stuck in your past.
Indeed, there is more coming in your life going forward! Good things I mean. Not bad things. He will give you the grace to embrace the new. He will give you the grace to embrace change. For many people, it's not so easy to embrace change. But sometimes, the Lord leads us to change, so we will not get stuck in life. So, contrary to what some people think, change isn't necessarily bad. Many changes are good.
Let's go to one example of someone who knew his time and cycle in life. There are many examples in the Bible, of course. But for today, let's look at Elisha. Elisha knew his time.
2 Kings 2:5-8 (NKJV) says, 'Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?" So he answered, "Yes, I know; keep silent!" Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to the Jordan." But Elisha said, "As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So the two of them went on. Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water, and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.'
Elisha has been faithful in his old cycle. Elisha has been a very keen learner. Elisha has been watching how Elijah did things. But there came a time when a new cycle was about to begin.
2 Kings 2:9-11 (NKJV) says, 'And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you. But if not, it shall not be so." That's what Elijah said to Elisha. Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.'
Here, you see that Elijah's time on earth had been fulfilled. As for Elisha, a new cycle was about to begin. As Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven, a new cycle began for Elisha. Now, we thank God for Elijah. Without Elijah, Elisha cannot be the Elisha that we see in the Scripture. It was from where he was in this old cycle that he moved on into his new cycle. Notice that many things are caught and not just taught. Elisha eventually received his double portion.
Like Elisha, you too can walk into a new cycle and embrace the new that the Lord has for you. You can cherish the memory of the past. But when the Lord says it's time to move on, you move on. You will never go wrong if you flow with His time and season for you.
Like Elisha, it's time for you to be who God wants you to be in this new time and season. There is a release right now. Walk in all that the Lord has spoken today. Keep looking to the Lord. He will show you and lead you, every step of the way. Exciting days are ahead of you!
What's your part? Your part is to stay in tune with the Holy Spirit. Walk with the Lord closely. Continue to eat of His Word and drink of His Spirit. He will know how to lead you, guide you, even give you dreams when you are asleep at night. So, fear not. Because the Lord will always show you before He acts.
Let us pray:
"O Lord God, we thank You for Your prophetic words today. Indeed, we want to walk in the new cycle in our lives. We do not want to be afraid of embracing the new that You want to show us. We look to You and put our trust in You. We even ask of You to show us dreams to guide us and lead us. We thank You for a release from the old cycle into the new cycle in our lives. And for this new cycle, You have spoken that it is good. We therefore thank You in advance for the many more great and wonderful things that You are going to show us going forward. In Jesus' name. Amen."
