Gone are the days of living in insecurity and unworthiness. Gone are the days of small beginnings! It’s time to burst forth. It’s time to enlarge the tent pegs and it’s time to “cash in” from the bank of faith on all of the promises that the Lord has spoken. The tornado warnings are here and do not let the the whirlwind of lack overtake you and if you hear by fear you will be overtaken by it.

Jeremiah 42:16 in the Bible says, "then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die".

Proverbs 1:27, which says, "When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind

The spirit of the Lord is moving upon hearts step out despite insecurity, to step out despite your circumstance, and to step out on the water again, and not be afraid.

Insecurity and unworthiness are two lies the enemy uses to keep from us being effective and glorifying God. Fear is the third, but the Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear. When we do not step in faith or doubt God’s plan, the enemy uses these lies to infiltrate our minds and the results turn into many more sins that keep us feeling condemned and feeling unable to accomplish what God has asked. It’s crucial we turn the bow of the ship away from unbelieving attitudes towards God and really inquire of the lord and trust His leading even if seemingly there’s no immediate results.

Complainers, criticizers , fault, finders, slanders, busy bodies, and meddlers will not inherit God’s kingdom and the promises that he has for them. You will become nothing more than a puffed up cloud obsessed with the shortcomings of others and burdened with feeling the need to judge everyone’s sins rather than being able to freely give what you have received by faith in Jesus Christ. It’s time to take a look and ask the Holy Spirit “am I doing this? “Does the way I do ministry need to change” . God is dealing with our self proclaimed mindsets as believers and his mercy does not mean he is ok with sin. Its time to repent, change and do it differently.

We will miss the boat and fall asleep to what His spirit is doing if we don’t repent.

Jude 1:12

These are spots on your feasts of charity when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. Clouds they are without water, carried about by winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

it’s time to repent for meddling and involving yourself in self proclaimed “ministries”. God never gave anyone the ministry of gossip, sowing discord, or “exposing”. He never gave us the ministry of being burdened by the sins of others, and worried over things that God has already promised to supply. He gave us the ministry of reconciliation to Himself!

1 Peter 4:15, which reads, "But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

A spirit of fault-finding, driven by pride, sends a fool headlong into danger with confidence (Proverbs 14:16)

How do I know I am in a ministry or doing ministry in a way that involves these sins?

Here is a checklist to evaluate

1. How much of my speech is coming from true revelation of God vs my

knowledge

2. Is it producing life or do I feel drained by striving to get others to see my point

3. Do I find myself burdened and focused on the sins of others (spouse, in laws, or other ministries)

4. Do I know the assignment and purpose God has put me on the earth to accomplish personally

5. Am I able to fully shine no matter what people think of me

6. Am I passively aggressive with what I say secretly hoping others will repent and see the message is for them (social media, conversations etc )

7. Can I say things to others in love without getting personally offended if they reject your words

*This is a good gauge along with taking time to read your Bible, pray, fast and letting the Holy Spirit reveal any areas where He can transform you.

It’s also time to repent of unbelief! Jesus did not do many miracles in certain towns because of their unbelief and he is saying to many of you “repent”. He wants to do the miracle and you are positioned for it financially ,and in your circumstances but your unbelief is keeping you stagnant and staying right where you are. You’ve been saying “if God supplies me, then I’ll do it, but he is saying “believe and step in what you have now and I’ll do it, I’ll perform the miracle. I will multiply it but you first have to take a step and give me what you’ve got in your hand .”

Matthew 14:17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said.

Let God be the one to water the seeds of those you love. It’s time to be free of anybdistractions to keep you from the purpose that God has called you to. The more you involve yourselves with these distractions , the more the life of Christ is getting sucked out of you. There is a mission. There is a goal. There is a purpose, and there is a ministry that God has called us all too, and it is the ministry of reconciling people to God and making an appeal through our words are actions and our life. it’s time to step out into the unknown again, it’s time to take a risk. It’s time to do what Joshua and Caleb did that Nobody else was willing to do because of fear insecurity and lack of trust in the Lord .

There’s people who will not go with you because of fear and insecurity. There’s people who are not going with you because their life is in the here and now and not focused on eternity. There is a people who you cannot fellowship with and need to warn as a brother because their mouths are full of poison and they speak lies giving heed to a deceiving spirits. There are people who you are trying to minister to and they don’t want to receive correction because they are foolish. Get out there fill up your lamp, keep going and God will connect you with the people that are ready and in motion to obey the lord at any cost. They will be led of the spirit and you will know them by their love. There are even some who are willing to risk their very lives for you. Let that be an example of grace seasoned with salt, and not “salty” people who are choosing ministry as a means of identity or self gain. Stay away from bitter people with “bitter ministry” for bitterness defiles many and God wants you to be pure, clean and ,unchained in your next assignment.

Hebrews 12:15, which reads, "See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled"

It’s time to go out and bear the same disgrace Jesus bore. Be not afraid of insults, be not afraid of their faces, they mocked Jesus and they will mock you, but Be not afraid. It’s time to start saying “ so what!” To what people think and start hearing what He thinks of you. There is a filling coming from the Holy Spirit that is so much greater than the disgrace and it is filled with honor and glory and power from the king of kings. Do not fear ! Suffering takes out the old and brings in the new and leads you to rejoice!

Many of you have said” it’s not time” or “it’s not yet my time to do these things”, but Jesus said today is the day of salvation and as you step souls will be won for the kingdom will be changed will be set on fire with revival. Many of you have said “but what about my family, what about my friendships” but Jesus said he who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is unfit for the kingdom. Many of you have said “but my ministry is my family and friends” and this may have truth, but he said there are others he needs to bring into the fold. Many of you have written off your family in light of “ministry” and it’s time to be joyful in hope patient in affliction and faithful In prayer. You cannot save them but you can respect them, pray for them and focus your attention on God. Step out in God’s might not in your spite.

Don’t let fear snuff out the light. Let it shine bright as you step into each new avenue the lord is giving you to possess! Take the land, take it! There’s souls being won for the kingdom on the other side of it. Be holy be set apart as the children of God and touch no unclean thing. This verse comes with a promise that will God will indeed father you as his very precious and dear child. As we step out it proves that we believe every word He has spoken so step out in faith ! Yes , step out! step out! step out !

2 Corinthians 6:17"Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you".

2 Corinthians 6:2, which says, "Indeed, the 'right time' is now. Today is the day of salvation".

2 Corinthians 5:18-19, which states, "Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation"
