Winds of Change

Sometimes when we are so focused on our own lives we forget that the path we are on has been walked before. 

1 Corinthians 10:11“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”

So you've come to the point in your life where you are walking with Christ. You've come out of bondage, gone through deliverance and made major life changes. You're beginning to stretch your wings of freedom. Then an obstacle arises. One that is so big you can't seem to see anything else.

This is when the enemy comes in. He sees an opportunity. He brings in fear and doubt. You look around and see the old oppression and bondage beginning to come after you.

 

You seek counsel and your leader says Be still.  

 

Be still you think as you start to panic.  You look around for the peace and stability you find in The Most High and cannot seem to see him. All you can see is the obstacle. 

Then you realize he is behind you, but you still don't understand why??

It becomes clear he is lifting up a standard against the bondage and oppression that is attempting to come after you. Defending you! 

Then the winds begin. What is happening?? Things seem overwhelming and a little chaotic. Why is there a storm just when you thought that you were about to get out of this mess! How are you going to stay calm? Until it dawns on you.... These are the winds of change!!

Suddenly the huge obstacle that was holding you back from moving forward and running from the oncoming onslaught becomes your path to moving forward.  

As you follow the path that becomes clear ahead of you and you see that The Most High has made a way out of something that seemed impossible.  But where is he?  The oppression is beginning come after you again. Forcing you to move forward somehow through the huge obstacle that was blocking your path just a short time ago.  

 Now you are on the other side and as you look back to see if you are still being persued and you realize The Most Highs plan. What you thought was an impossible roadblock was his tool for your freedom and Victory!!  

SO where is the scriptural advice for this stuff? Exodus 13,14 & 15 and the trip out of Egypt!!!

Keys to remember-

1. When you learn some of your life's biggest lessons are you going to be complaining and grumbling OR standing in trust and Faith.

2. Even when you feel trapped adopt a positive attitude, remember the ways The Most High has done for you already and call upon him for help.

3. Once you have your direction GET MOVING!! No doubting! Stopping and looking back will never be positive for you
