Prophet Ken Cox: The Prophets Blog; Walking out of Season
The Prophets Blog; Prophet Ken Cox “Walking out of Season”
Greetings again in Jesus Name. Indeed it’s a pleasure to hear from so many of you around the world on a daily basis. I'm in the process of catching up on unanswered emails.
We read every email you send us and we do our best to respond as warranted. Prophetess Cox and I thank each and everyone of you for taking time out of your schedules to share with us. You really bless us and we thank God for each of you. Some of your comments are long, some are short, I just want you to know they are really appreciated. We learn through our sharing, regardless if we agree or disagree. Sharing the right information is powerful and destroys yokes in people's lives. You should be shouting about right now! (smile) .
My assignment for the next few moments of your time is to expound on "Walking out of Season". Many times we hear the term, "its your season" especially in prophetic utterances, but what does that mean? To many it will mean different things! Some it will mean prosperity, some it will mean restoration, some will receive it as being an "over comer" of a burden, situation, or issue. "My", "Your" season is dictated by our passion which fuels our faith. When I as an individual exercise the passion to change, things will happen (The lady with the issue of blood changed her season with her passion). When my life will lines up with the Word of God blessings will overtake me, in the midst of my distracters, enemies, and yes even my friends.
When season changes, know that you are walking out of season with someone else. Chances are this is someone that you know. All this sounds good and holy. The purpose of my assignment is to reflect on interpersonal relationships, with an emphasis on Anointed Relationships. Here you will find the genesis of my assignment. I ask the question? Why does the season of our relationship change? Why are we walking in different seasons? Have you ever fellowshipped with someone, had great rapport with them, and either suddenly or little by little the relationship either changed, or crumbled. We then deal with unexplained feelings, doubt, depression, hurt, and generally overall mixed feelings and emotions. You tried to understand what happened, you point to a specific event, or a specific word spoken or unspoken. Did I act "funny" because of something I heard or was it something I allowed to happen? Most of us generally wonder and sometimes even share our concern with another close friend or a spiritual sibling or authority. What has happened? You and that person are walking into different seasons of your lives. Yes you are walking out of season with each other. This does not mean that you can't be friends but you must respect each other's differences, not mimic, belittle or try to "suck up" ones gift. The Bible says if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask.
There is a reason that we walk out of season with each other. The same reason we go different paths in ministry, different paths in life. The same reason our children may or may not follow us in ministry or life. The reason is simple. God has a plan to move our lives in different directions and sometimes we don't understand. Romans 8:28 says all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. The all things is something that we don't pay attention to. Funny how we see the bad and call it "bad", " Not Anointed" and everything else when we don't seem to understand what God is doing in " my friend's life". Did you ever notice how it looks like all is lost in someone's life and then they come from no where, keep moving and never look back.
Remember, when you left high school, some friends you kept, and some you simply lost track of. The relationships you enjoyed, may or may not have been renewed by family or class reunions, home goings, or even normal changes in life. We accepted the season of change of our classmates, even when they went to a path we did not understand or even agree with, we still accepted it. I find that as I reflect back on this concept, I've experienced this also. I was able to accept the new season in peoples lives that I went to school with, but like most in the Body of Christ, I have struggled to understand as I saw new seasons in people and searched for why "they acted the way they did".
My struggle was overcomed when I realized, I was the one walking into a new season and my assignment was not based on peer approval, but on divine placement. The season I walk in may of may not be the same season as some of my closest friends in ministry. We enjoy great fellowship and use the gifts of each other as we all continue to grow in the Kingdom of God.
In the Kingdom of God, the gifts, the treasures of God are released for you and I to have at our disposal. This is our foundation of mission deployment. (Matthew 10: 7- 42)
What we must understand is that seasons dictate change. The Fall we see leaves change, feel cooler weather, in the Winter, the weather is the coldest, we could see snow & ice and things associated with winter. When we see the Spring, we see a new birthing of plants, hear the sounds of birds and overall there is a new change in the air we breath. The Summer we experience the hottest weather and watch our gardens grow, attend family reunions, revivals, and do all the things we couldn't do in the cold weather. Did you ever notice how you reacted to someone in 28 degree weather with short sleeves. You were in your coat, hat, gloves and really thought that person was nuts. You two were walking out of season. You may or may not have agreed with that person but you respected that person's decision. Your voiced opinion may of may not have leverage. You two are "walking out of season" in the same day.
When you are walking in a different season you accept the differences in someone else. There is respect. The respect is driven and mandated by the knowledge of your convictions about that person. My question now is why, in the body of Christ, when someone is clearly walking in a different season, we criticize, scandalize and even outcast some of our brothers and sisters.
Recently I spoke with a great servant of God, who was perplexed about fellow peers as they were ridiculed for a previous mistake, a mistake that they(the peers) had all made, but were able to keep theirs quiet. Remember the woman at the well with Jesus? God has raised and restored his, servant and yet still there's massive "saint-hate" from the peers. The good old boy minister network has even recanted it's membership. Do you know why this is so great,? Now God can use my friend with out him trying to walk in a season that God never meant for him to walk in. Sometimes the seasons of our peer, our friends, is not our season.
When John the Baptist sent his men to Jesus, they asked Jesus was He the one or should they look for another? John the Baptist never hung out with pimps, or prostitutes, thieves or the undesirables of society like Jesus did. This is why they needed to know, and yet they saw the work of Jesus and knew He was the one! In other words they saw Jesus walking in a different season but they knew that there was a connection they needed that would change their lives.
Can you say that about the person or persons that you no longer walk in the same season with? Is there respect, love and a genuine heart as we all walk out of season with each other from time to time? Respect your brother or sister's path, because you may find yourself on that path and need to make a withdrawal on the deposited knowledge of that same brother or sister in Christ.
Thank you for your time my friend, as always I welcome your feed back and will respond as warranted. Email me at kencoxministries@aol.com . Thank you in advance for visiting this web site and responding to The Prophets Blog. Prophetess Cox and I love you all, and we are looking to come to your city soon or a city near you!
