2010 is the year of Transition, Testimony, Law, and Responsibility. To transition is to move from one state of being to another, to change. During times of transition there is a certain amount of discomfort due to the new environment transition creates. New people, new places, and new things are often experienced when transition is made. Transition begins in the mind, change your mind, you change your life. "And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2 KJV)

 

Transition from test to testimony. A test is a means of proving or examining one's loyalty and beliefs when it pertains to the things of God. As we find in Job 1:6-12 verse 8 says: "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?". God allows a test that produces this testimony. We find in Job 42:1-17 verse 5 says: "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You." also in verse 12a: "Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning;"

 

Transition from lawlessness to lawful. Let the word of God, rather Rhema or Logos, be written in your heart that you not sin against God. Psalms 119:11 (KJV) says: "Thy Word have I hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against thee."  Know that Destiny is a choice and not by chance. Don't let the Destiny of God for your life be up for negotiation. Lawlessness brings about distress and the creation of unnecessary circumstances. Psalms 107:11-14 verse 11 & 12 says: "Because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High, therefore He brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help."

 

Transition from being irresponsible to responsible. We are the Body of Christ and God has made all things new (2 Cor 5:17 KJV). God has given us dominion, power and authority, he has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. We find in the text of Matthew 16:19 KJV that it is whatsoever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatsoever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. We also discover that the Kingdom is voice activated in Proverbs 18:21 KJV "Death and life is in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." We must take responsibility for much of what we are seeing because we have been saying the wrong things. Mark 11:23 says that when we speak what we believe we will have whatever we say. Let's discipline ourselves from speaking when we have not been in the face of God to speak in the place of God. Let's discipline ourselves when all we know is the problem and have not consulted the solution. What happens then is we give the problem the license to exist rather than the solution the power to manifest. Romans 1:16 says it is the Gospel that is the power of God to salvation. John 10:10 says that Jesus came to give us more life than we can live in a lifetime. John 14:6a says: "I am the way, the truth and the life:" Jesus shows us the way in Matthew 14:19 with the five loaves and the two fish to feed the multitude. He looked up when there was a need, He looked at the supply, not the need. "But my God shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phi 4:19 KJV) 

 

Let's transition into the place where we can declare our future based on our current obedience and raise our expectation to see God in our lives and not the results of our compromise.
