Not Ahead of Me, Not Behind Me, but Alongside Me

You should not perceive yourself to be so elite, so intelligent, so talented, so gifted, so smart, so financially well-off, so connected, so known, and so untouchable that you neglect the guidance of God in ALL that you do.  You may have gone to a HBCU, Ivy League University/College, or have come into a six figure salary, but you are able to fall.  You should not be so arrogant that you trust your decision making skills.  You may live in a nice home with a garage or two, you may know a few superstars, lawyers, doctors, and politicians that hold power to make arrangements and adjustments that would not normally be made, but even their power is not everlasting; and it can only go but so far.  In fact their power is limited and has a time constraint.

It is dangerous, life-threatening, and detrimental to your life for you to continue to believe that you can make it on your own.  It is dangerous and life-threatening because the Lord says that, "what resulted the last time you encountered a similar situation, such as this one, but with new faces to add to the spectrum, was not what I wanted to manifest."  The Lord says that, "You cannot afford, at this stage in your life, to walk away from this conflict, this test, this situation that you have, once again, found yourself in, the same way you walked out of the last one.  You must handle this stage in your relationship with him/her with deeper understanding that I, the Lord, want to perform a miracle that you perceive to be impossible.  In other words, I, the Lord, want to make what you think is impossible possible.  What is holding you up is your flesh and the desires of your flesh,"says the Lord.

Your anger, your attitude, your arrogance, your pompous, the deception that is fooling you, the thoughts that do not represent the thoughts of the Lord are causing you to find yourself directly where you found yourself before.  "You have not progressed," says the Lord!  You have not gained anything!  There is no new understanding, no new people in your life that girds your legs and mind in Jesus Christ, in fact, most of the people in your space are talking about the latest issues on the streets, or in other people's lives.  They are talking about their new houses, new shoes, purses, boyfriends, girlfriends, their husbands and wives, their clothes, but they are not telling you what you need to hear from the Lord.  The Lord says,"How much longer are you going to remain stagnant?  How much longer are you going to tolerate the same songs being sung, the same prayers being prayed, the same sermons, the same jokes, the same conversations, the same traditional ways of thinking?"

The Lord says, "I transform lives! Since when have you known Me to allow life to remain the same?  When have You not witnessed Me create new days?  When have you not witnessed new winds, new atmospheric changes that are out of season?  I have gone against the predictions of the meteorologists, astrologists, the horoscopes, the soothsayers, necromancy, and all of the fortune tellers!  When have I allowed wickedness to prosper in your life?  I let it prosper when you left Me; when you denied your belief that I could not change the situation; when you neglected to be patient is when I let wickedness prosper," says the Lord!

The Lord says that, "when you want change, you will call out My name, and I will show you patience like you knew you could possess!"  The Lord says that, "you want everything to come unto you so fast, but what I have for you is not until down the road because there are some things that you have lost along the way that I have to restore and I am the ONLY Person that can restore what you need to become FREE.  What you want, you cannot find in a job, in a television show, in a song, or in a sermon, but you must seek MY face and call out MY name and I will come unto you!"

The Lord says that,"this time when you see him, when you see her, when you talk to them, when you apply for this job, when you write this book, when you dance, when you pray, when you minister, when you go out, you will walk in with a different anointing and with an understanding that you cannot do this one without Me.  I will be with you and you shall be confident that I have not left you; but this time, do not leave Me, says the Lord!  Do not leave Me, and do not walk behind Me, but walk next to Me!  Walk next to Me, walk with Me, walk alongside Me! For I have walked alongside you even when your heart left Me!

“Inasmuch as these people draw near with theirmouths, and honor Me with their lips, but have removed theirhearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,  Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,  And the understanding of their prudent me shall be hidden.”  (Isaiah 29.13,14 NKJV).   

       I pray that you be Spirit-filled and be led and driven by the Holy Spirit that Matthew 4.1 , Luke 4.1, and Mark 1.12 describes how Jesus entered into the wilderness.  Jesus was led, driven, and was alongside of the Holy Spirit as He entered into the wilderness.  This situation for you, if you are led, driven, and is walking alongside of the Holy Spirit as He walks alongside of you, will find you in a wilderness like situation.  You will have no one call on except for Christ; that is only if you want full and true victory and do not want to cut corners on the road to accomplishing the work of God.  


I pray that you understand that your life is NOT about you, NOT about your feelings, NOT about your wants and desires, but it is about God's glory.  For whatever it is that you do, whether you are drinking or eating, do all to the glory of God (Col. 3.17; 1 Cor. 10.31)!  When has God told you that His work has everything to do with you; when has God told His Son, Jesus Christ, that being examined, questioned, accused, and death was about Christ?  God never, did for Jesus always spoke of Himself accomplishing the will of the Father!  DO NOT BE DECEIVED (Gal. 6.7a).  Evil company corrupts good habits! (1 Cor. 15.33)  I pray that you walk alongside of the Holy Spirit as you go through this situation!
