About seasons...in transition!!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, and time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to mourn, and time to dance; A time to cast away stones,and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
1 Peter 5:12-13
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that , when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad aslo with exceeding joy.
1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
II Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
The trials, tribulations, seasons that we endure only last for a moment. Although, it may seem to last a lot longer. It's how we respond and act during our rough times determines on how quick how will respond to our cries. It's a process we have to go through. All the disappointment, shame, guilt, hurt, loss...consider it stripping away from our flesh...we are building up on our character when God is melting, molding, filling us...changing us...adding something else to your character now that you will need for the next battle or test. Thank God for these times. We can slow God down. We can't hurry him up. God has a time table and he doesn't discuss it with me. I know I have to keep doing my part: reading the Word, praying, fasting, praise/worship, laying all you have down, submitting to him, repenting, get yourself busy for others...reach your world! There are tons of lost souls out there and Jesus is coming back soon! When you have done all you can do and know to do, you stand...sometimes in silence. We do need to listen to GOd. He sometimes speaks so softly and quietly if we don't settle down we will miss what he has to tell us. Repeat the last thing he told you to do. If God gives us revelation on something, it requires obedience. We will not go another step further until the obedience is acted upon. Stand on God's word, be held accountable and don't give up, confess the Word and apply the Word to your life. II Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:....keep fighting and is also helps to put the armour that God gives us! Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brothern,  be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherfore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the the breastplate of righteousness;And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all power and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all preseverance and supplication for all saints;
I love what the word says! Dig into it! Let the Word transform you. We have the victory w/ Jesus!!!
