EKKLESIA: The Re-entry (Notes)

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.

2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.

3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.

5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.

8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NLT)

To avoid the pain means missing out on the pleasure.

God doesn’t CAUSE painful seasons but He uses them.

Success in this current season:

• Stay CALM.

“And Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.’”

Exodus 14:13

• Have CONFIDENCE and COURAGE.

“And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.’”

Exodus 14:15

• CLARITY of vision. (Exodus 14:15)

• Be COMPETENT

“Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.”

Exodus 14:21-22

• CONSECRATE your thoughts: 

Inward renewal births outward change.

Maximize This Current Season
