When God wants to do something “new” but you’re blinded by your attachment to something “old,” you are probably going to miss a powerful life shift. In order to enter new realms you must entertain new thoughts, ideas and approaches. In other words, if you expect God to do something new in your life you better start doing something new first.

If you’re destined for a powerful future, that future will require things of you that your past didn’t. So start doing something different ahead of time. The next level is waiting on your next bold move.

In order to get un-stuck; in order to create new momentum; in order to see new progress, do something entirely different than is your normal pattern.

Your destiny knows exactly what Its doing. It knows exactly where Its trying to take you.  Your destiny is extremely intelligent.

• What has It been telling you to do differently?
• What steps has It been trying to get you to take?
• What (seemingly) weird approach has It been telling you take?
• What behavior or action is It telling you is affecting results in an area that appears to be unrelated to the behavior?
• What signs, symbols, urges and nudges has your destiny been sending?
• Are you sensing the subtle messages that your destiny is sending you?

Don’t miss the powerfully new thing that is waiting for you by failing to step into a powerfully new concept, approach, action or pattern.

Your current season isn’t permanent. However, your season could have reached its expiration date but you haven’t.

In other words, you can stay in a season longer than necessary.

It’s easy to remain stuck in a season of stagnation. It’s a temporary occurrence that tries to become permanent. Frustration is a guest that comes and wears out its welcome and tries to become an indefinite resident. Conflict arises and endeavors to extend its presence for as long as possible. Mundane and normal find their place in your life and attempt to become a lifelong fixture. It takes effort to break free from stagnation. You have to employ strategy to eliminate frustration. You must be deliberate in order to eradicate conflict.

If you’re in a season of frustration–this season isn’t permanent. But don’t let it remain past its time. Don’t stay in “today” when “tomorrow” is calling. If happiness is an option, the first step towards it is a step away from frustration. Start walking towards it and you will walk right out of your frustration. I cover concepts like this very extensively in my new book titled TRANSITION.

Here are some ideas:

1. Identify the Sources of Your Frustration
   When did the frustration start? Did it start when you entered a new environment? Did it arrive when a certain person, or a specific group of people came on the scene? Did your frustration start when a key person left? Or consider this—did your frustration begin when the possibility of a new, more powerful season presented itself? You see, sometimes when you recognize where you’re supposed to be; when you see where you “could be,” suddenly where you “currently are” becomes a place of frustration. When you can identify when the frustration began you can determine what needs to be removed, what needs to be replaced, or what new thing needs to be introduced into your world.

2. Eliminate the Sources of Your Frustration
   Is it time to let go of what’s bringing “pain” instead of “pleasure?” Sometimes your season will change when you change what’s in it. There are times when you need to get rid of a person, eliminate a process, or re-establish a purpose. I am not espousing being harsh with people, but I am promoting saving your sanity.

3. Police Your Environment
   God creates your life, but you create your world. Police it. Keep your eyes open to whose trying to enter it. If you are trying to create a peaceful life, be on the lookout for what will bring conflict. Be aggressive at guarding against the things that are not welcome in your world.

Sometimes you are waiting for your season to change while your season is waiting on you to change it.

When something significant is being built, scaffolding is put in place to support the building process. Scaffolding is temporarily attached to what is being built to get to places you could not ordinarily reach. The structure can’t be elevated to higher levels without the scaffolding. Once the structure is ready to be revealed the temporary scaffolding is removed.

As God is “building you,” there are temporary things in your life that you must not get attached to. Sometimes we get too attached to people; we get too attached to places; we get too attached to institutions. You have to recognize what is being used as a “temporary” means to move you ahead verses a source that you are to have “permanent” reliance on. That’s why sometimes relationships fall apart. Sometimes you lose an appetite for what used to feed you. Every now and then your reliance on an institution will be disappointed. You must understand that some people, some places, some institutions, some mindsets, and some approaches have expiration dates on them.

There are times when you have to blatantly abandon “what was” in favor of “what is to be.” You can’t be so attached to the “present” that you are not willing to abandon it in favor of your “future.” If there is no more life in it, it has already left you. Do not be so attached to something that you are not willing to let it go even when it has already gone.

Do not try to make “permanent” what God has made “temporary.”

I am excited about the release of my highly touted new book called Transition—Mastering Life’s movements! It speaks more extensively on letting go of the “present” in favor of your “future,” and so much more!!

Take a look at what people are saying about the book:

-I just finished this book and (((WOW))) what a great book that really gives you the bigger picture of what we all go through in life but never see it from this perspective. I love how this book gives you some specific practical tools that you can do every day and that you can be aware of in your conscious mind. I recommend getting this book in your library now, and once you read it you will want others to have it too. This will bless many.

-I Love this book! From the time I started reading it I knew right away that what I was reading was for me! As I read the first chapter describing to me what transition was or is; it was like food for my soul. I ate the first chapter really fast, it motivated and inspired me. I tweeted about how fast I was eating the book. I have been freed up from the confusion that seemingly alluded my life.

-I can only find “two” words right now. And that’s Anointed and Brilliant! I’m still in “Awe”! Seriously – no fluff! This book has just about summarized my past and present.

If you have not had the chance to get your copy of my powerful new book, consider getting a copy right now. Several people have purchased a copy for themselves and A second copy to sow into someone else’s life.

The post Don’t Make “Permanent ” What God Has Made “Temporary” appeared first on Spiritual Legislator.

When you are looking for a “new beginning” you must have a clear vision of an “old ending.” The number one hindrance to having a new beginning is holding on (sentimentally) to the thoughts and feelings that were attached to a previous period. Make sure you do not get so stuck on being where God was that you fail to be where God is.

Some people wrap themselves around what God is no longer speaking and fortify themselves against the new thing that the Father is doing. It feels noble to protect something that God was doing when you’re ignorant to the fact that He’s no longer supporting that initiative. Don’t become so familiar with the previous revelation that you end up rejecting the update.

This blog post is a paraphrased excerpt from my POWERFULLY ENLIGHTENING NEW BOOK, Transition—Mastering Life’s Movements.

You must discern where God is at RIGHT NOW. When the children of Israel were wandering through the wilderness toward the Promised Land God told them to follow the cloud during the day, and follow the fire during the night. Being between where you were and where you are going can easily produce wondering. Which means you need a leader. Not a man this time. You need someone who knows their way around without a map and can produce light when it gets dark. He’s the Holy Spirit. The bible speaks of Him this way, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He is the Spirit of Truth. He’s the remover of helplessness and hopelessness. Start asking Him questions when you are seeking answers. Develop a mentorship relationship with Him.

I would love to have you get a copy of my book. The early reviews are incredible!! In addition, it has been on the Amazon Hot New Seller’s List (in the professional growth category) since the day after its release.

Get your copy RIGHT NOW!
