A new season is upon us. For many, spring is the best time to clean our homes. From top to bottom, we clean on, under and around every piece of furniture, sometimes relocating pieces for ambiance. We sort, weed and store clothes for keeps or for giving away to charities or needy families. We transition from winter boots, overcoats, scarves, hats and gloves to Capri pants, shorts, sandals, flip flops, tees and swimwear.
In addition to thoroughly cleaning our earthly homes, this is an excellent time for a little spiritual spring cleaning. All it requires is that we put on our spiritual eyes for a moment and take a supernatural look within and around us in search of areas that are below par according to God’s standards. And when found, it is those areas that must be submitted to the Holy Spirit for cleansing and/or purging, which is a necessary requirement if we want to start or continue producing the right fruit in our Christian walk. From a destiny perspective, this is the time to transition from a winter season of rest, restoration and reflection into a spring season of new life, new growth and new beginnings. Are you getting ready for destiny?
SEASONS & TIMES
Aside from certain times of the year, season is biblically defined as “the proper time for action.” In the New Testament, time is indicated by the Greek word, kairos, which means “a divinely appointed time.” It also means "the right or opportune moment; the crucial time; the appointed time in the [fulfillment of the] purposes of God; it is the time when God acts and moves." It is a time when destiny is fulfilled.
To get ready for such a time, we need our spiritual eyes so that we are able to rightly discern the significance of the times and the seasons. Think about this: You and I arrived into 2010 with a special God-given assignment. To fulfill that assignment, it will require traveling the path of destiny. Are you spiritual cleaning for destiny?
Spring is a time of planting, sowing, and reaping and so it is in 2010. Aside from the natural occurrence of seasons, spiritually speaking, 2010 is a new season. So, as we spring clean our homes, let us also spring clean our hearts because the Spirit of the Lord is saying that our “opportune moment” is upon us, but we must be ready, willing and able to seize this moment right here, right now.
THUS SAYS THE LORD
Last month on my Internet radio show, I discussed “What is God Saying in 2010?” Near the end of the hour, I shared ten prophecies highlighted below. As you read them, please utilize your spiritual senses to discern the heart of God concerning this current season.
- 2010 is a year of “great expectation; a year of divine measurement.” ~Prophetess Sandie Freed
- In 2010, “you are either in or out." “This is the year to get up now! Stop procrastinating…” ~Prophetess Gwen Spinks
- "2010 is a year of double dimension; your year to go in.” ~Bishop T.D. Jakes
- “In 2010, the fruit you have been waiting to see will come forth in abundance.” ~Barbie Breathitt
- 2010 is the year that "God wants to empower the dreamers." “There will be a lot of new growth - new businesses, new ministries, new relationships, new marriages, new art and new music will…emerge." ~John Belt
- In 2010, God is going to position you to “…bless your enemies.” ~Dr. Chuck Pierce
Choose today to not let this season go by without making at least one of your greatest dreams or hopes come true. I challenge you this month to search your hearts and write one MAJOR GOAL that you are ready, willing and able to spend the remainder of 2010 making “it” a reality.
