Season of Sitting<br />

I found an old writing from March of 2005 and it prompted the BLOG you are about to read… I find it interesting to go back in time and to see where my train of thought was at a certain season... The date of the writing caught my attention more so than the actual writing… The date was significant because it was around the beginning stage of what turned out to be one of the most pivotal points in my life.<br />

Season of Sitting<br />

I found an old writing from March of 2005 and it prompted the BLOG you are about to read… I find it interesting to go back in time and to see where my train of thought was at a certain season... The date of the writing caught my attention more so than the actual writing… The date was significant because it was around the beginning stage of what turned out to be one of the most pivotal points in my life.<br />
<br />
In February of 2005 God called me to sit for 2.25 years under Dr. Michael Mitchell of Restoration Ministries (LACE>AugustaLACE>LACE>, GALACE>)... I had been for the past 13 years preaching, teaching, training, doing workshops and seminars, building Sunday schools, overseeing church teaching ministries, serving as an assistance pastor, started a homeless ministry, developed TV ministries and served in various capacities of church life... God called me out (Abraham call… I literally had to make a family oriented detachment – this was very difficult because of my love for church I was leaving and my family members)… Looking back I realize this grew me up in the Spirit… For the first time I had to make a stance for what God was saying to me… I graduated from a feeling (soulish) level of attachment to an obedient level of relationship with God. Hey I’m going to help you out… many times God will call you to do something and you will not have all of the answers… Listen do not say God is saying for you to do this or that simply because you feel obligated to give a reason when you are moving at the auction of God. Remember God instruction to Abraham was for him to move unto a place I will show you… Abraham moved out on God’s command not knowing where he was going… Church mentality says package it up so man won’t think you are crazy or missing it… Kingdom mindset say obey God and speak what He says to speak… He may not release you to speak what he is about to do… better yet you may not have a clue… Had I known God was about to sit me down from doing what I loved to do I probably would not have obeyed him. Because I didn’t know what God was about to do I gave obligatory answers to questions of why I was leaving. WOW! The wow is because I was not disobedient to the voice of God. I remember how I felt so obligated to give some type of religious excuse and reasoning for the unction that I was hearing from GOD... When God says lean not to your own understanding; trust Him he knows what he is talking about... REMEMBER... YOU MAY HAVE THE VISION BUT GOD HAS THE PLAN YOU WILL NEED TO EXECUTE THE VISION... trust me you will need God's plan in order for the vision to come to pass...<br />
<br />
My time of sitting at Restoration Ministries International was all GOD... Some disagreed but I had to obey God... Funny thing... when we were released back into ministry the elevation from the season of sitting has been a blessing even to those that did not agree at the time... TRULY GOD'S WAYS IS NOT OUR WAYS... This time of soaking was life changing... I did very little ministry assignment... God wanted to pour into my soul and spirit. I am so glad I was able to hear the voice of God and sit under this mighty man of God. My eyes were open to great revelation of the word of God. My flesh was put to death… purpose and the Kingdom perspective of ministry was awakened in me… Never had I anticipated week after week of sitting and being taught the Word of God. I was not concerned about teaching or ministering… I was so connected with the teaching... I knew God was speaking directly to my soul… God used Dr. Mitchell to lay a foundation that is prevalent in my teaching and Kingdom perspective on today. You may not know of him at the moment but soon the world will come to know of this mighty man of God. I STILL MARVEL AT THE WISDOM THAT WOULD POUR FROM THE MAN OF GOD WEEK AFTER WEEK. I'm talking about Rhema every week!!! My relationship with the Godhead was taken to another dimension and I'm grateful unto the Lord...<br />
<br />
To my ministry friends: In the midst of all your preaching and teaching if God call you to a season of sitting do not be afraid and feel you are going to miss out ... When God call you to something it's always to add to your life...<br />
<br />
<br />
To my Pastor friends... I know you preach, teach, study and meditate... however; you need someone speaking into your life... Ask God to connect you with an earthly person so they can speak into your life... GOD HAS SO SET UP THIS GOSPEL JOURNEY THAT YOU WILL NEED OTHERS... YOU CAN NOT FULFILL YOUR DESTINY ALONE...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I’m not sure what God is saying to you on today but I want to encourage you to trust Him.<br />
<br />
This was a FYI to someone who may be feeling a call to another level but is not sure what God is saying... If your next level requires sitting ... DO IT... You will be thankful after God reveals the reason for the season. Many ministers miss their divine appointment because they fail to hear and yield to the voice of God. This is another teaching but I will share this quick word that I feel in my spirit...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Know the Purpose of your Relationships"<br />
1. Some relationships are for a reason...<br />
2. Some relationships are for a season...<br />
3. Some relationships are for a lifetime...<br />
<br />
In all thy getting ... get an understanding of the purpose of your relationships... I will not develop this at the moment... check back at a later time... I will revisit this... or you can email me and I will share more...<br />
<br />

UPGRADE: It's Time To Go Higher God is calling for an:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
During the first quarter of 2008 God began speaking upgrade in my spirit. I had just completed a teaching series on “xTREME MAKEOVER” and during my meditation time he spoke Upgrade in my spirit. Immediately I began pondering the idea of upgrade. I though about the marketing strategy of my business... Sell the service and then up market my offering. I thought about how the strategy had always…

<br />
During the first quarter of 2008 God began speaking upgrade in my spirit. I had just completed a teaching series on “xTREME MAKEOVER” and during my meditation time he spoke Upgrade in my spirit. Immediately I began pondering the idea of upgrade. I though about the marketing strategy of my business... Sell the service and then up market my offering. I thought about how the strategy had always been successful. Even when clients were set on my basic offering my goal was to up sell my service. That’s what upgrade is all about … taking it higher… going to the next level. As we prepare to enter into the 2009 year, God reminded me of another series I taught on during the second quarter of the year – “It’s Time to Cross Over Your Jordan”. This series was foundation for the thrust of many things that happened in 2008. My wife caught it and there was no looking back for her; she crossed over her Jordan and took hold of the promises of God. Now God has spoken again and this time He spoke to my spirit and said the Body of Christ must consecrate itself because there is going to be an Upgrade in the lives of my people as I take them over their Jordan.<br />
<br />
Ask yourself, what is an upgrade? Let me answer by referencing a computer analogy. Everyone that knows me knows I love computers; I love building, researching and challenging myself to stretch the sensory cognition of my mind. There are times when a perfectly good running computer becomes outdated for today’s pace. The computer may work fine; doing what it was doing from day one but the requirement of the time make its necessary to … you got it – UPGRADE! Generally speaking the components or the whole unit has to be replaced with a new and better version. The theory of its function remain the same – input, process, output but there’s a need to replace the hardware or software with a new or better version, in order to bring the system up to date and to improve its characteristics and performance. The software sometimes remains the same but is updated with new patches or versions. The patches or version usually aim to improve the functionality or solve problems. Sometimes the new hardware functions better with a new software altogether. The point is… Business, organization, school and households will upgrade their computers…WHY… In order to Install new processes, Impart new ideas, Impact their vision and Improve their offering... they must UPGRADE.<br />
<br />
install – impart – impact - improve<br />
<br />
God wants to install some new perspectives of how you see, hear, pray and praise, God wants to impart some new depths of his love and power so we can impact the world and advance the Kingdom of Light and dispel the kingdom of darkness.<br />
<br />
Just as the children of Israel were upgraded from the land of “Not Enough” (Egypt) to “Just Enough” (wilderness living) to “More than Enough” Canaan land (promise land living); God wants to upgrade the lives of his people from barely enough to more than enough. However, this upgrade in living will require an upgrade in our relationship with the Father. The upgrade will require a consecrated life style… God is speaking but only those at his heart we catch the revelation of what he is saying… This upgrade will require spending quality time with the Father.<br />
<br />
Now concerning an upgrade, you must understand that an upgrade denotes that there’s an original to upgrade from.... You cannot experience an upgrade in God if you only have a form of godliness you are working from. Many will get excited about the upgrade but fell to realize the original is a prerequisite to the upgrade. If you lack the original (true salvation) then the upgrade will not work… perhaps you want a greater anointing. The upgrade in anointing requires an upgrade in your prayer life, fellowship, fasting… communing in the Word. Many newer upgraded software will not work on old machines… incompatible… Sound like the new wine parable?<br />
<br />
Whenever we move into a new spiritual dimension of our calling and our ministry, we must take the time to upgrade our relationship with God. Our calling comes at different levels at different times; it is a progressive journey of discovery. When God takes us into the next phase of our calling, our relationship with Him must also change.<br />
<br />
Moses, Esther, Gideon, David and many others experienced an upgrade…<br />
<br />
Notice all of these upgrade required an upgrade in their relationship with God.<br />
<br />
Just as the children of Israel were upgraded from the land of “Not Enough” (Egypt) to “Just Enough” (wilderness living) to “More than Enough” Canaan land (promise land living); God wants to upgrade the lives of his people in 2009. As I heard a pastor declare from the pulpit… I want what’s mine in 2009… I believe there’s a great harvest in 2009… God loves to demonstrate his glory when the conditions of the time looks contrary to what he is declaring. God is ready to release but there’s an “If Then” principle attached… the principle is if you do your part then you can lay hold of my part.<br />
<br />
MAKE UP IN YOUR MINE DURING THESE LAST FEW WEEKS TO UPGRADE YOUR WALK OF FAITH.<br />
<br />
This new season will require an upgrade in our relationship with the Father, with your commitment of service in your church, your job, your home and your witness. The upgrade will require a consecrated life style… God is speaking but only those at his heart we catch the revelation of what he is saying… ARE YOU READY FOR AN UPGRADE!!!<br />

PROPHETIC EXAMINATION!<br />

Are you excited about the New Year... I sense a great release for the Body of Christ... especially FOR the remnant that has yielded to the processing of the Lord during the last 5+ years... It's time to take our rightful place... There is urgency in the air for the ministry gifting of God to come forth...<br />

<br />
Are you excited about the New Year... I sense a great release for the Body of Christ... especially FOR the remnant that has yielded to the processing of the Lord during the last 5+ years... It's time to take our rightful place... There is urgency in the air for the ministry gifting of God to come forth...<br />
<br />
<br />
EXPECT INCREASE IN 2009.<br />
<br />
<br />
The world is saying recession but I see the Harvest... Just like the Prophet and his servant... the servant saw the artillery of the enemy, the prophet saw the artillery of GOD... 2 Kg 6:15-16 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! WHAT shall we do? - And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
FOCUS ON THE PROPHETIC HARVEST!!! If need be make an emergency spiritual appointment with your heavenly optometry - ophthalmologists - God specializes in the vision information processing of the human sensory cognition. The Prophet took the servant before the heavenly optometry/ophthalmologists and prayed that his sight would be corrected. Yes he prayed that his servant eyes be opened to see in the realm of the spirit and not be limited to the realm of the flesh... natural world... It is imperative that we see from the realm of the spirit and not the flesh... Why you may ask? Our words are shaped by what we see or perceive... our world is shaped by what we say... If we continue to see as the world see then we will speak as the world speak... When we speak we cast seed into the atmosphere and the seed we cast will bring forth the harvest we will reap... What do you SEE!<br />
<br />
<br />
I SEE A PROPHETIC HARVEST IN 2009... THAT WHICH GOD HAS SPOKEN INTO YOUR SPIRIT BEGAN TO SPEAK BACK UNTO GOD and the Kingdom
