2011 and Beyond - Thoughts to End the Year - Proper Positioning

Okay I know, I know.....promised to write more but you all know intentions are good but transition, unpacking, family, holidays, ministry........lots of stuff around us. But I am happy to say that we are almost through this move. So here goes.

I will end this year with some thoughts of transition. These are thoughts in process. These are thoughts of the journey into 2011. These are thoughts that I am pondering on from the Lord by His awesome Spirit that will manifest in 2011 so that we can run in the reality of their manifestation.

Proper positioning.

So important. So very important. Do not, and I say it again, do not be moved by anything in the natural or anything that is moving upon your flesh to move, go or divert into any direction that is not of the Spirit, by the Spirit and through the Spirit. Proper positioning is it. There is no need to stress or at least I feel no need to stress. Each step that Marvin and I have taken have brought us to this place and I am sure many of you are in the same place. We arrived at our physical positioning by faith and not by sight. Here we are in California? Where are you? Are you in the position that God wants you to be? I pray that you are.

We don't have to understand why we are living, moving and being where we now stand. We just are. We have walked by faith and not by sight to get us to this place and so we stand. Waiting to step out into 2011, a lot more wiser, a bit disheveled, a lot clearer and taking life with a simplistic outlook. What is that?

"Whatever He says to you, do it."

How much simpler can it be. So onward..............positioning is like a domino that is lined up, ready to fall and topple all the ones behind that form a cataclysmic explosion in your life and mine. Things are going on behind the scenes that we are not aware of, but I just know. Do you? You should. We have to open our spiritual eyes to see and open our spiritual ears to hear by the Spirit...............things, they are a-shaking folks. When we are in the right place, at the right time, things are bound to happen. Jesus, in flowing and moving by the Spirit was always in the right place at the right time. Order your day in the light of His word and the reality of His rhema word to you and you shall not be moved by what you see. You will be in step with the greater reality of Kingdom movement which flows contrary to the currents that are moving in the earth today. Proper positioning in your life.

Example time: We left Abu Dhabi. Why? Because the job was over. Heck no. We left because God said "Time's up Folks!" We left and came to California and the process started. Marvin retired ( that does not mean life is over but life is beginning for us). We were led by the Spirit to come back to Benicia. God connected us to find the perfect place to live. We step out day by day to meet people that are ordained of God and just flow without hesitation or pressure. Step by step we move with our next step to rent a place to establish a Rivers of Eden Equipping Center. Step by step. It works for me and will work for you. I don't have to worry about tomorrow. That is useless. I have to move in today by His Spirit. So, if you are in step, praise the Lord. If you are out of step, get rid of guilt, shame, condemnation, repent and get in step. Right now. Right today. Then when you are in step, breathe, spend time in His presence, be still and KNOW that HE IS LORD.

Selah.
