IS IT "YOUR" SEASON?

[prophetess m. brignac]

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THE MATTERS OF THE "CHURCH", OR RELGION, IS FAMILIAR WITH WHAT IS FREQUENTLY REFERRED TO AS "TIMES" AND "SEASONS". SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE, AT SOME TIME, HAS PROMISED YOU THAT "IT'S YOUR SEASON"! "TIME" IS A MEASURE OF EXISTENCE, BASED ON PRECISION AND IS SPECIFIC IN DURATION, AND IT DICTATES A CERTAIN "RHYTHYM", THUS THE 'TICKING OF A CLOCK". EACH "TICK", MARKS OFF A MEASURE OF TIME THAT CAN NOT BE REVERSED, OR LIVED OVER AGAIN. ( IF YOU WILL HEAR THIS IN THE SPIRIT, SOMETHING SHOULD ALREADY BE STIRRING IN YOU!) IT REFERS TO PARTICULAR EVENTS OR PERIODS OF DURATION, KNOWN AS "ERAS" OR "EPOCHS". IN THE CHURCH, IT EVOLVED ,AND WAS DIVIDED INTO VARIOUS (DISPENSATIONS) OR SPIRITUAL MOVES OF GOD, WITHIN HIS KINGDOM. TIME IS PERPETUAL OR NEVER-ENDING, EVEN IN DEATH, TIME "KEEPS ON SLIPPING, INTO THE FUTURE", AND DEATH IS A "TIME", IN SUSPENSION, AS ONE WAITS FOR THE ULTIMATE APPOINTMENT, THAT WE ALL HAVE AROUND THE "GREAT WHITE THRONE", BUT IT IS STILL "TIME". ONE CAN MAKE AN "APPOINTMENT", AS IT REFERS TO "TIME", BUT MAN HAS NO COTROL OVER SEASONS, ONLY GOD DOES, AND THERE ARE EVEN "PREDESTINED" TIMES, IN GOD, THAT CAN NOT BE ALTERED OR ABORTED, BUT THEY CAN BE DISRUPTED WHEN OUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS OUT OF SYNC WITH THE RHYTHM OF HIS WILL AND HIS DIVINE TIMING. "TIME" EXISTED LONG BEFORE "SEASONS" WERE ESTABLISHED, BECAUSE UNTIL THE FORMATION OF "MAN", THERE WAS NO NEED FOR SEASONS, BECAUSE EVERYTHING JUST "EXISTED" IN A CONTINOUS FLOW OF "BEING". SEASONS", HOWEVER, ARE PROSCRIBED SEGMENTS OF TIME, AND THEY ARE DISTINCTIVELY ORGANIZED, WITHIN ALLOTTED BOUNDARIES OF DURATION, WITH DISTINCTIVE MANIFESTATIONS OF EACH ONE. GOD SOVEREIGNLY DESIGNED "SEASONS" SO THAT ONE COULD NOT GET ONE CONFUSED WITH THE OTHER, AND THEREIN, LIES THE COMFORT OF KNOWING, "IT CAN'T REMAIN AS "HOT AS "HADES" FOREVER!", AND THIS "ICE" IN MY LIFE HAS GOT TO MELT ONE DAY, OR ALL OF CREATION AND EXISTENCE WILL BE THROWN OUT OF SYNC ,OR DIVINE RHYTHM, AND DESTRUCTION WILL OVERPOWER EVERYTHING THAT GOD CREATED! "WHILE THE EARTH REMAINETH, SEEDTIME, AND HARVEST, AND COLD AND HEAT, AND SUMMER, AND WINTER, AND DAY AND NIGHT SHALL NOT CEASE!" (GENESIS 8:22) OH YES, SEASONS, BY DIVINE LAW, AND BY THE LAW OF NATURE, ARE "UNDER CONTRACT' TO "KEEP IT MOVING", SO THAT WINTER STAYS NO LONGER THAN IT'S PROSCRIBED THREE MONTHS, AND SUMMER , FALL, AND SPRING, HAVE TO DO THE SAME!.YOU MAY THINK YOU WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A "YEAR" OF SPRINGTIME, BUT THEN THE GROUND WOULD NEVER REST, FOR THE NEXT HARVEST, AND WITHOUT THE NEXT HARVEST, THERE'D BE NO PROVISON TO SUSTAIN LIFE. MEN HAVE TOLD US THAT "IT'S "OUR" SEASON, AS A WAY OF EXTENDING HOPE AND EDIFICATION, BUT OUR BLESSINGS COME IN "HIS" SEASONS, AND "HIS" TIME! "LET US FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD, THAT GIVETH RAIN, BOTH THE FORMER AND THE LATTER, IN "HIS" SEASON! (JER. 5:24) GOD WOULD BE FAR TOO PRUDENT TO GIVE US CHARGE OVER SOMETNING AS RELEVANT AS A "SEASON", BECAUSE THERE'S NO ROOM FOR ERROR IN THE GOVERNING OF SEASONS OR TIMES. WE, AS GOD'S PEOPLE, SHOULD HAVE THE WISDOM TO STUDY THE TIMES AND SEASONS (AS THE CHILDREN OF ISAACHAR), SO THAT WE MAY BE SWIFT IN OBEDIENCE, AND BE ABLE TO MAKE A SMOOTH, INSTANT TRANSITION AT A MOMENT"S (TIME'S) NOTICE!, WHEN WE RECOGNIZE THAT GOD IS SHIFTING IN OUR LIVES, TO ANOTHER SEASON, THERE SHOULD BE NO "FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN", OR DOUBLEMINDEDNESS. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE PROLONG THE SEASONS OF THE LORD, THAT WE BRING DESPAIR AND SUFFERING UPON OURSELVES, JUST LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND THEIR LEGENDARY EXTREMELY, EXTENDED "SEASON" IN THE WILDERNESS! SEASONS CAN BE AND OFTEN ARE "REPETITIVE", ESPECIALLY WHEN WE FAIL TO "GET IT" OR GET IT TOGETHER WHEN THE LORD IS TRYING TO BRING US FROM FAITH TO FAITH AND FROM GLORY TO GLORY. OUR GREATEST CHALLENGES ARE WHEN GOD IS DESIRING TO MOVE US INTO A GREATER WEIGHT OF GLORY, BUT WE "LIKE" OR ARE COMFORTABLE IN THE ONE WE'VE BEEN IN, AND SOMETIMES JUST BECAUSE WE'VE ADAPTED TO IT AND "KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT", EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE WHOLESOME OR PRODUCTIVE FOR US TO REMAIN SO. AS WE NAVIGATE LIFE, THERE ARE GUARANTEED SEASONS THAT EVERYONE OF US SHALL EXPERIENCE, EVEN THOUGH THE "TIME" MAY VARY. THE "PREACHER" MAKES IT PLAIN IN ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER.3, "TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A "SEASON", AND A "TIME" TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN; A TIME TO BE "BORN", AND A "TIME" TO DIE, A TIME TO PLANT, AND A TIME TO PLUCK UP THAT WHICH IS PLANTED, A TIME TO "KILL" (ONE'S FLESH), AND A TIME TO HEAL; A TIME TO BREAK DOWN, AND A TIME TO BUILD UP; A TIME TO WEEP, AND A TIME TO LAUGH, A TIME O MOURN AND A TIME TO DANCE, A TIME TO CAST AWAY STONES, AND A TIME TO GATHER STONES TOGETHER; A TIME TO "EMBRACE", AND A TIME TO REFRAIN FROM EMBRACING ( THIS IS THE SEASON OF BEING "KEPT", AND ONE MANY IGNORE OR FAIL TO TAKE HEED OF)", A TIME TO "GET AND A TIME TO "LOSE (YES, THERE ARE APPOINTED SEASONS OA LOSSES AND ABASEMENT, BUT REMEMBER, SEASONS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION, JUST LIKE A CONVEYOR BELT, JUST BE STILL!) ,A TIME TO KEEP SILENCE ( A FREQUENT "REPEATER", BECAUSE WE DON'T HEED THE "STILL SMALL VOICE", TO SHUT UP!), AND A TIME TO SPEAK (THERE IS A DUE SEASON, WHEN GOD GIVES ONE "THE FLOOR", AND EVEN YOUR ENEMIES WILL HAVE TO HEAR "WHAT THUS SAITH THE LORD" FROM YOU!), A TIME TO LOVE (WAIT ON IT, BECAUSE IT HAS GEAT RECOMPENSE OF REWARD, PEOPLE OF GOD!!), AND A TIME TO "HATE" ( NEVER TO HATE ANOTHER MAN, BUT TO HATE EVEN THE GARMENT SPOOTTED WITH FLESH, TO HATE EVIL, AND TO HATE SIN)!, A TIME OF WAR AND A TIME OF PEACE (ONE THAT WE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, BECAUSE MEN HAVE NEVER RECOGNIZED, RESPECTED, AND REVERENCED THE SEASONS OF GOD'S "PUBLISHED PEACE, EVEN IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH)! BEING ARMED WITH THIS WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING NOW, YOU SHOULD FIND A REASON TO "GLORY IN TRIBULATION" DAILY, BECAUSE EVERY DAY YOU MARK AS "ANOTHER ONE SURVIVED", MOVES YOU NEARERER TO THE "8TH DAY" MANIFESTATION OF ONE SEASON'S CONCLUSION, AND THE BIRTHING OF A NEW ONE! DOES NOT THE BIBLE SAY THAT THE INEVITABLE SEASON OF MIDNIGHT (12:OO A.M.)"WEEPING" HAS BUT A SHORT WHILE TO STAY IT'S "TIME", BECAUSE "JOY" STANDS AT THE DOOR READY TO MAKE ITS'12:01 A.M. TRANSITION ( MORNING! A WOMAN HAS A PROSCRIBED SCIENTIFIC, AND SPIRITUAL "TIME "TO BRING FORTH, FROM CONCEPTION TO DELIVERY, AND IT IS COMMONLY NINE MONTHS. THIS "BIRTHING" SEASON" IS GOVERNED BY "TIME", AND WHEN LABOR STRIKES, IT IS REFERRED TO AS "HER TIME', BUT IS IT, OR IS IT GOD'S" TIME TO MULTIPLY THE EARTH WITH ANOTHER SOUL? SEASONS CAN BE EITHER FRUITFUL, OR UNPRODUCTIVE, FULFILLED OR UNFULFILLED, BUT "TIME' ALWAYS BEARS EVIDENCE, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT, LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, FOR WHAT YOU SEE IS A PRODUCT OF "TIME" AND NOT "SEASONS"!.WHAT OCCURS WITHIN THE REALM OF "TIME" WAS PREDESTINED AND FORESEEN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, AND THAT IS WHY IT'S MEASURED OUT IN THE "PAST", "PRESENT" AND THE "FUTURE"-"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD MADE MANIFEST, AND DWELT AMONG US, AND HE NOW SITTETH AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER,BOTH NOW, AND FOREVER MORE! SO MANY ARE PARCHED FROM THEIR PROLONGED WILDERNESS SEASONS, AND EVEN MORE ARE NIGH UNTO FAINTING, BUT YOU ARE EXHORTED TO FIND PEACE AND CONSOLATION IN THS TRUTH, THAT FOR EVERY "SEASON" OF CONFUSION AND DISMAY, THERE'S A SEASON OF PEACE AND REST; FOR EVERY SEASON OF LACK AND POVERTY, THERE'S A SEASON OF GREAT PROVISON AND "PLENTY", FOR EVERY SEASON OF PERSECUTION, THERE'S A SEASON OF VINDICATION AND EXALTATION, FOR EVERY SEASON OF BROKENESS AND HURT, THERE'S A SEASON OF HEALING AND SUPREME WELLBEING, FOR EVERY SEASON OF MENTAL TORMENT AND ANGUISH, THERE'S A SEASON OF DIVINE CONFIDENCE AND ASSURANCE, FOR EVERY SEASON OF LONELINES AND REJECTION, THERE'S A SEASON OF COMPLETION AND DIVINE "YOKING", FOR EVERY SEASON OF AFFLICTION AND WEARINESS, THERE IS A SEASON OF DIVINE HEALTH AND RESTORATION, AND IF YOU'RE FAITHFULLY WILLING TO " NOT WALK IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY, NOR STAND IN THE WAY OF THE SINNERS, NOR SIT IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL, THEN YOU SALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER, THAT BRINGETH FORTH HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON, YOUR LEAF SHALL NOT WITHER, AND WHATSOEVER THOU DOETH, SHALL PROSPER!
