SPRING FORTH NOW 2024

Just remember, when the unbelieving world hates you, they first hated me.  If you were to give your allegiance to the world, they would love and welcome you as one of their own. But because you won’t align yourself with the values of this world, they will hate you. I have chosen you and taken you out of the world to be mine.  So remember what I taught you, that a servant isn’t superior to his master. And since they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. And if they obey my teachings, they will also obey yours.  They will treat you this way because you are mine, and they don’t know the One who sent me.  “If I had not come and spoken these things to the unbelieving world, they would not feel the guilt of their sin, but now their sin is left uncovered.  If anyone hates me, they hate my Father also.  If I had not performed miracles in their presence like no one else has done, they would not feel the guilt of their sins. But now, they have seen and hated both me and my Father.  And all of this has happened to fulfill what is written in their Scriptures: They hated me for no reason.  “And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me.  And you will tell everyone the truth about me, for you have walked with me from the start.”

John 15:18-26 TPT

Choosing to Open Up The Way to pursuing what you believe should be for your life; God’s call and promises for your life and life more abundantly will create tension and chaos, if not hostility in and around your life.  The universe, life in particular, is difficult and it becomes more difficult in your space with people, places, and things, to ensure that life and its challenges do not drive you but instead you them, however, beware it is going to come with a cost. The cost of pressing forward to apprehend what God has already prepared for you will be cluttered with people, places, and things that are and/or will become uncomfortable with you because of your desire to live at your maximum potential.  However, do not fret and do not allow others’ discomfort or yours to fuel negativity, know that Anything Worth Having Comes With A Cost, release God’s Spirit, in and over your life to speak to you and follow The Spirit’s lead, and press forward to your calling.
