Partner in Preparation

Beloved, I recognize the frustration of this season. I recognize the frustration that comes from knowing that where you are positioned currently is no longer right and that I am calling you forward into a new assignment. You don’t yet, however, have all of the pieces. It feels as if the things you have dreamed about for years are within your grasp yet still slightly out of reach.

I say to you today, I recognize the frustration of being caught between two places. Of being in the middle of the “not yet” of the new and the “not satisfied” of the old. My child, it is very important to not grow frustrated in the in-between. Will you trust me in this space of the in-between to ensure that you are properly prepared for the new assignment that is before you?

Lean in to me and give me the space required to prepare you fully for the stewardship of the new assignment I have for you. Do not give in to the temptation to grow frustrated. Do not listen to the voice of apathy. Tell hastiness to keep moving. Do not partner with these things and miss what I am doing. Instead, trust the process of preparation I am leading you through and lean in to me. 

Activation: Take some time to quiet yourself and ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you what he is doing in and around you at this time. Invite Holy Spirit to speak to you or show you a picture or vision that explains how you are being prepared to move forward. Repent if necessary for partnering with frustration, hastiness, apathy, or anything else that would steal your openness to God’s plans and purposes. 

Ephesians 1:17-18 (NLT)

I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. 

1 Corinthians 1:9-10 (NLT)

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
    and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
    for those who love him.”

But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
