Past due. Delinquent. Followed by the persistent words, The Time is NOW! I heard this all day. I wanted to hold this blog another day, but like today's title, The TIME IS NOW.
But what does that mean?
Since the time is now, what exactly is this now time for?
New Beginnings
Let me continue this blog by saying it is overdue. At the end of the year, I map out my calendar for the following 12 months and blog topics. In prayer, I heard the 8/8/21 blog topic needed to be a "Healing Conversation on NEW Beginnings. & the way to make wrongs right." I did not understand it then but figured I would when the time came. August 2021 was...different. So, here I am three months later, on 11/8 with a persistent word since this morning -- "past due" followed by NOW is the time.
Let's talk!
HEALING CONVERSATION ~ pressing matters before you begin anew
*Time
Time is a created construct by God. He steps out of eternity to communicate to the now what He has already sanctioned in Heaven. "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."
How does God's will in Heaven manifest on the earth?
key ways:
1) Understanding the time (the Time is NOW)
2) Saying what God says aloud (sound familiar? -- you call God's Kingdom forth with HIS words)
3) Obeying whatever He gives you to do
4) Knowing what the time is for (New Beginnings)
5) Then wait. The Father's words cannot fail. It's impossible.
*Seasons
As mentioned, many things are past due in the lives of the Believers. From small to large acts of obedience. You do not know what a seemingly "small" gesture will yield. In farming, small seeds, proper grooming, dedication, and time produce crops that will feed not just you but many.
A pertinent fact about seasons is that it is only for a set time. Certain crops can only be grown or harvested in specific seasons. If you miss the season for planting, you will have to wait until the season returns.
Thinking about this naturally, we all have a set time to complete the purposes of God in our lives. & if we are honest, certain things He requires of us work better in its set season.
What do you need to plant?
What are you growing?
What needs harvesting?
Whatever the answer, the Time is NOW to get it done. Time is of the essence.
Jesus in Matthew 9:35-38 mentioned that the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. He shared we should pray for people to go to "His" harvest. Some people are in the wrong fields!!! & no one has time for that. Being sure that you are working God's harvest (plan or field for you) and in the appropriate season is imperative. Frankly, some people have many talents & desire surety on which field to work. Certainty when in the appropriate field and in the right season/time is assured when you know and are confident in His voice. Read more on this below in righting wrongs.
*Dead and Done {*No Reprise}
I saw a vision of someone attempting to resurrect something dead. I watched this individual memorializing, having repeat conversations, and constantly returning to this dead place. Subsequently, I heard, "no code blue adoptions." I thought this was an interesting choice of words. Code-blue in hospitals (to my knowledge) is when a patient is dead or dying. With a code blue, the medical professionals will attempt to revive the dead or dying, and if successful, generally, there is a long road ahead that may or may not render success.
God was warning not to resurrect what was dead and done. When dead things are tampered with, it smells...offends...and produces nothing of use. The Lord is saying the Time is Now for NEW things but let what He declared as dead; be done.
The DEAD and DONE list includes not obeying, erroneous mentalities, lackadaisical about God's will, relationships that He has pronounced the benediction over (you know who or what they are)...old things & people cannot go to the NEW place..
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.
Mark 2:22
Begin anew. Old things and people will not work in what's ahead. Also, you will ruin what the Lord has imparted. Today is a great time to purge -- clothes, people, mentalities, or whatever is dead and done. Let the dead be done.
*What lies ahead...NEW Beginnings
Harvest time. God is doing a whole NEW thing. New means not existing before. The world as you know it, His grants, the economy He's creating, people, and so forth will all be new. Ecclesiastes 3 speaks there is a season for everything. It is simply a reaping time. The Father is attempting to help us to get things orderly to receive. Many cannot fathom God's promises of abundance, fulfillment of a long-awaited word, reciprocal, and balanced relationships. But I'm hearing clearly that NOW is the time for abundance, God promises, and they are ye and amen.
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him, the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20
*The Righting of Wrongs
Thankfully God is filled with grace and mercy. He also considers the frailty of the human condition. & the time is still NOW. The Time is Now for you to right wrongs by doing the aforementioned without delay or delineation.
To the unsure of what God has told you, practice knowing God's voice: ask Him in prayer to teach you His voice, worship, intimate time -- commune with God with no other purpose than to be with Him, reading the Bible, and my favorite SILENCE. When you turn down the volume of everything and everyone around you and turn up His volume, you are sure to hear Him with keenness and clarity.
*The Time is NOW 8/18/18
The above title is an old blog that I'm going to condense by sharing the pertinent points below. But before I do, I invite you to share in the comments ONE area or thing that is, for NOW, hashtag TIMEISNOW and get going.
Lastly, I want to highlight the number 8. God first spoke the word to me the Time is NOW on 8/8/18. He wanted me to reshare it on 8/8/21, and He added to the revelation on 11/8. Do you see a theme?
The number 8 is new beginnings.
I do not subscribe to numerology, but I know when God is making a point.
For 3.5 years, I've heard God say the Time is Now. Today, He made it abundantly clear what the time is for...the NEW thing.
And it is going to be of no conquest, begin now.
I look forward to conversing with you all more in the comments!
The TIME is NOW
You're on the clock!
