"Here is a key of the Kingdom for you today: God always plants seeds of incredible destiny into people who are nowhere near the person they need to be in order to actually fulfill that destiny at that moment when the seed is planted. God plants something in you that is so much bigger than who you currently are.
Here is the key! Just as this power and acceleration and the prophesied release was coming upon Elijah, it says that he girded up his loins. Now at first reading, this doesn't seem to be significant, but it really is huge. The Lord spoke to me not too long ago and gave me a word for the Church. He said, "I love you, but it's time to gird up your loins. In the past season of your life I allowed you to live a certain way and act a certain way, however, if you continue living in this new season like you have in the last season, you will not make it or advance. It's time to gird up your loins!"
When Elijah girded up his loins, it means that he reached down and pulled up his robe so that nothing would hinder him in this new season of running with supernatural power and acceleration. Elijah heard a sound that conceived and planted a seed within him. He began to co-labor with God and birth the seed. As the birth of the seed was taking place, Elijah had to change some things in order to advance into the next season."
I am no where near I should be... and to move forward into the "new" season, I cannot live like I have been. I cannot keep doing this and I need to stop making half-assed attempts to be better and then really not change. Last year, I had been having dreams where I was convinced, had hope, had faith that something serious was going to change with this move. The things that I had heard when I was younger about my life, were supposed to begin to grow in this change... and here, now, I'm watching myself feel hopeless, throwing things away... and it HAS TO STOP. This is ridiculous. God has not forgotten me... and I am working to stop acting like I have forgotten Him. Yes. I may be at a David's part in my life; I have sinned, I have strayed the path and the depression has settled in... but hope, I have in You. You are the Light in the dark; the shepherd that guides me.
This immaturity has to end. This nonsense, childishness, this lack of love... "when I became a man, I put away childish things..." I do not need to be perfect; I should not expect it from myself. I should have direction, though, and should not live my life aimlessly, wandering and without purpose.
So this is it. Last night was the last mistake. I will not put myself in that place again. THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES.
