Have you ever been in the season of constantly fighting to be in a place of peace and balance. I mean, seems like troubles keep coming your way, every time you step forward it appears something is taking you back. Know that you are not stepping back to stay there, it is the pulling back of the sling that propels you forward into position towards purpose. The fight is fixed and you will succeed even if there are setback, the comeback will be greater. I am speaking on what I know from experience. There are times we have to fall and fail to adjust and realign with where we want to go. Sometimes the plan we have doesn't line up with the plans God has for our lives. Then comes the pivots and turns to get us in alignment with his will for our lives. It can feel like fire is upon us but know you will come out purified like gold, reshaped into a stronger version of yourself to be postured for greater. The best part is that you do not have to do it alone. There are genuine people who want to see you succeed and reach higher in life.
The support you need can be right next to you. Exodus 17:11 Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. Verse 9 Joshua took men to go fight with Amalek at Moses word. Here, a word was spoken and Joshua took men to perform the word to fight. Moses himself was not in the fight, Moses, Aaron and Hur went up on the top of the hill. When Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed. Verse 12. Moses' hand became heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him and Moses sat on it. Aaron and Hun supported his hands, one on each side; and his hands were steady unitl the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people. Here Joshua was the person in the fight while Moses was given the supernatural answer with the help of two others to get the answer to manifest in the earth. Ok, too deep right. Ok, having other people around you who can support you through your process is pivotal. When we try doing everything on our own, we may miss an important step and have to reset and start again. Doing things on our own we also miss opportunities to connect wth people who may have already gone through what you are facing. With a good community of people we can accomplish more than we thought or imagined.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenanace of his friend. Here we see that true friendships can build each other up and we dont have to face the world alone even as we have our own separate journeys in life. We also have God who never leaves us, he is a good father who watches over his children. When we stray away from him, he comes to save us as a good sheperd would. God desires that we not be lost, that we do life together in hope and love for one another. Your circle around you should bring light into your life and their life experiences should make you better, go higher and bring success without competition amongst you all. Pure reciproccation of love and knowledge. You should be able to find encouragement and healing in your circle of friends. Your test in life also becomes a testimony to help others walk through their healing. If your circle cannot support you in moving towards your purpose, goals, dreams and God's will for your life it is time to reevaluate your circle of friends. They may have become associates and not friends, and that is okay. Growth requires change!
Get some people in your circle who know how to pray for you right where you are. Seek God for direction and guidance in your situation. Ask who should you be sharing your heart with about your situation, not everyone is equipped to walk with you. Look in the mirror and speak the word of God over yourself in full confidence he performs his word. The word of God can not return to him void, they must accomplish what they were sent to do. When you seek God, understand he will search your heart for the motives in what you are asking for.
Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.
Deuteronomy 32:30 One can chase a thousand, two can put ten thousand to flight. This is why you need pure hearts that are in alignment with your request from Heaven. How can two walk together unless they agree (Amos 3:3)? No agreement, no progress, no answer, only confusion, and God does not operate in confusion.
Key points:
You were never meant to do life alone and you don't have to!
Any ship you are on should be taking you forward and not backwards, not friendships or any relationships!
Get a friend that can pray with you and for you!
