Impacting Your Season Part II

Often times in the Bible references are made to due season. Many of these references are to the Lord providing rain or meat in it's due season. Those seasons, especially rain are somewhat predictable. We expect rain in April, snow in winter, and heat in summer. If we don't get them we speak of droughts and unseasonable temperatures. But when it comes to our individual walk with God and the rain or meat we desire that pertains only to us I believe due season is a gray area term that can only be brought into fruition by Faith Fueled Action.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

What a lovely scripture. What an often quoted scripture. What an often misused cop-out scripture. "I'm just waiting on the Lord. Wait on the Lord and be of good courage" Sounds good, but if a person isn't careful they'll die waiting. I've known so many people to use a scripture as a reason to do nothing, but I'm crazy enough to believe you can influence and actually accelerate
your due season.

I've known people interested in getting a degree who have enrolled in accelerated courses and invested more time and effort in the short run so they woudldnt have to wait in the long run for due season to arrive. Yeah they could have waded through traditional semesters and delayed
their due season but they took the initiative and accelerated it instead.

I've known people who have not grown weary in attending Church and did not faint, but regularly asked God for what they wanted, but they were passive in aggressively pursuing, or sowing for what they said they wanted, and never picked up the answer. Some business establishments like cleaners and repair shops have what they call unclaimed merchandise. I believe their are a lot of unclaimed answered prayers. (Off on a tangent here)

OK I'm back. The next time someone gets deep with you about what they're believing God for, ask them what they're doing to show they believe. Ask them what are they doing to accelerate their due season.

Impacting your season Part I

Your condition does not determine your position- the devil attacks you at the position he knows you are going to be not the condition you see yourself in .

Your Assignment has been revealed, but the manifestation of the assignment is on hold because he is working on your character. He is trying to change that ungodly character to a character that is representative of your calling.

The enemy’s job is to hold up your assignment so that frustration will set in, you'll quit, and fulfillment never occurs, therefor you should question the Lord - How can I affect my wilderness season? Understand that seasons are merely points of testing, character building , refining and pouring clouds. Always remember that the key is what you do during the season.

For example:
Hezekiah impacted his season by his petition before the Lord
2Kings 20:2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

Jonah impacted his season by making a decision to obey the Lord
Jonah prayed to the LORD his God He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry. Jonah 2:1-2

Deborah impacted her season by consulting the Lord and following his directions against the naysayers.
Jacob impacted his season by refusing to let go of his blessing until he had it.
Elijah impacted the season of the little boy by praying faith’s prayer and speaking life.
