“But now they desire a better,
that is a heavenly country…”—Hebrews 11:16
The body of Christ is in the season of moving forward. To move forward, you cannot be constantly
thinking of the past or be unprepared. Moreover,
you must want to (desire) to go forward.
You must realign with the new
season. Jesus told a parable about
ten virgins who where waiting for their bridegroom. Five of the ten virgins were prepared with
extra oil for their lamps, and when the bridegroom came the ones prepared were
taken in to the wedding. However, the
five who were not prepared were not allowed into the wedding (Matthew
25:1-13).
The old methods of waiting until the
last minute to prepare will not be of any value in this new season. An alignment of your desire with God’s
desire must occur so that you will be prepared to move forward. Jesus told His disciples that He was going to
prepare a place for them, in His Father’s house (John 14:2). God is preparing for the Church’s coming;
consequently, when we do not prepare, are we not behaving like the five foolish
virgins who were not prepared for their Bridegroom’s coming?
Prayer—Father
I choose to continually be filled with Your Spirit and with Your Word so that I
can be ready for Your coming. I choose
to realign with your Spirit and not to focus on my past but what you are doing
in this new season, in Jesus Name. Amen.
