Turning Point Dimension

Edited Repost from December 3, 2015 recorded by Barbara Tibbs from Pastor Mary's message in November 2010

Now is the time to Arise, Move Forward into the next place in destiny! You are at a Turning Point! What you have prayed for, what you have plowed for, what you have sown into, what you have longed and cried out for, what you have seen but not been able to taste, sense or see is about to come to pass! What is a Turning Point? I am so happy you asked! A Turning Point is a point at which something changes direction. It is a point in time when a decisive change occurs. God Himself had decided that a change needed to take place in your life. A Turning Point is a set time that God has authorized to bring forth a promise spoken over your life. A Turning Point is a turning place of grace being manifested in a specific situation or a specific person for a  specific task! Turning points release into the miraculous and are often preceded by acts of consecration and preparation. This is often a time in your life wherein God will cause an increase of power and authority to fulfill a specific assignment. During seasons of preparation and consecration, at times you may experience feelings of shame, disappointment and humiliation, but at the same time God releases a knowing in your belly that victory is near! With this in mind, it is important to recognize that the place you have been ushered into calls for drawing a line in the sand; therefore, you can discern who and what God authorizes at this particular time and season. It is necessary that you refuse to allow distractions of any kind or negative people distance you from your unique divine assignment. There is a prophetic word that must come to pass in which things in life that don't meet the atmospheric conditions must be dismantled. Stay focused, focused, focused! Opportunities will come and go quickly, therefore timing is everything! Being at the right place at the right time is essential. The promises God made to you do not have an expiration date or become null and void! They only have conditions, such as: diligently seek the kingdom and its righteousness-Stop waiting for someone to prophesy or speak in tongues in order to give an interpretation of the conditions for the word previously spoken over your life! You must get rid of an impatient mindset (I am helping me right here). Stay seated while you are waiting for God, but at the same time embrace changes that are being made. When God commands movement, there is NO TIME for negotiation, interpretation or outside revelation. Just move when He says move, stay in step! Embrace Change! Keep up with the rhythm of the Holy Spirit! Left, right, left, right, left,right....STOP! Going ahead of God is dangerous and lagging behind because of fear is not advised. God is releasing a spirit of urgency over His people to align their lives with His purposes and plans. This is a time of reversal and recovery in that God is about to grant access to people, places and things that until now, have not been accessible. Make sure to have on turning point garments and be ready to impact the kingdom of God, for such a time as this!

Embrace Change

Embrace Change: Move Forward 
There is an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth; God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time. (Ecclesiastes 3:1,11). 
My troubles turned out all for the best- they forced me to learn from Your textbook. Truth from Your mouth means more to me than striking it rich in a gold mine. (Psalm 119:71,72MSG)
Characteristics of Seasons:
Spring: Roots mature during rainy season producing growth of vegetation and beautiful flowering trees and plants.  
Summer- Earth points toward the sun making the earth hot with long days and short nights. Certain plants can thrive in the heat: perennials, geraniums, hydrangea, impatiens....
Fall: Transition season from summer to winter. Green Leaves change to brilliant colors as a result of transformation in leaf pigments making leaves turn various colors.
Winter: Earth points away from the sun causing the weather to be cooler, days shorter and nights longer. Dormant period for plants; nutrients are stored in the roots and stems in preparation for rigorous growth in spring.
Embrace Change: Move Forward into Uncharted Territory 
In Every Season, to some extent, you are changed and given an opportunity to begin again from a new position and perspective.   You don't choose the season, nor can you change your past. However, you can choose your response to changing times and seasons. The response is determined, to a great degree, by your positional standing and alignment with God’s timing.  Change is inevitable but growth is optional; therefore, You can choose to grow and see beauty in every season.  #EndureChangeProcess! #MoveWithGod #StayinStep 
You can choose to cross over into a new place of favor, although challenging situations seem to increase.  Remain confident and courageous because God promises to be with you every step of the way. Don't despise small things; success and significance are found in small things.  Life is a journey of discovering purpose, beliefs that are painted with seasons of pain, struggles, sorrow, grief, twists, turns-all of which present an opportunity to choose your response. Important Nuggets: Enjoy Every Season; however, not without fighting the good fight of faith (1Tim. 6:12)! Appreciate/Reflect Upon A Collage of Victories! Learn to Wait Well! Waiting is an excellent teacher. Timing is Everything! Life's journey presents many opportunities to learn valuable lessons in every season; even-though, there could be times in which many challenges, changes, twists or turns cause you to grapple with harsh realities of grief and disappointments. In any case, there is beauty and purpose in every season; as people of faith, you have a sure and steadfast anchor of hope in Christ.  You are at a turning point and with this in mind, lessons on building a bridge of love and unity will help carry you across troubled waters or to weather strong winds of adversities in this time. There are many turning points along the journey which calls for change in your perspective concerning current realities.  No matter the situation, you can arise from dark places of trouble, enjoy your journey and begin again in Christ! Make Your Time Meaningful! Focus, Follow God's Plan! Flow! Rate multiplied by time=Distance  1. Repent/Change Your Mind. 2. Choose to live in the moment; Don't get stuck in the past or be anxious about the future. 3. Manage feelings and thoughts about experiences. Remember avoid making decisions when:  HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired) 4. Change what comes out of your mouth. Declare promises of God. Pray His word, Give thanks in every season. 5. Trust/Obey/Worship Continually! 6.  Believe that all things are working for your good. 7. Stand boldly by faith on Christ, the solid rock; all other ground is sinking sand.

Are You Available?

God already knows the outcome of your life's journey. From the beginning, He  had specific plans uniquely designed just for you. He created both male and female to take dominion in the earth, to be fruitful, multiply, to worship and glorify His name.
2 Chronicles 16:9 The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him...He chooses different types of people, from various stations in life who are willing to believe and obey the gospel of Christ. You are Empowered by the Holy Ghost to spread the good news that can radically transform lives. He is looking for available vessels who are willing to serve as change agents;to help bring restoration in this time and season. Many today are being oppressed, by  oppositional forces and suffering in dangerous situations. For the cause of the kingdom, He  chooses faithful and loyal servants who are willing to work for the advancement of the kingdom and to help build strong families. It is very important to promote  unity among the body of Christ as well as others, regardless of their status in life, for His glory and the applause of heaven! Whatever the problem or situation, God specializes in things that seem impossible. He is able to do above and beyond whatever you ask or imagine. Earth is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. We know that we are the sons of God and it does not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when He shall appear we shall see Him as He is. #KeepMoving Let God arise! Let His enemies be scattered!

Don't Lose Your Praise

In these times of changing trends, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain core Christian values causing so many to forsake foundational truth. Please remember that God's word is immutable, therefore He still answers prayer when you wholeheartedly call out to Him! Trouble is a vehicle of transportation to the next place of spiritual maturity. If God has brought you this far, surely He will carry you safely to fulfillment of destiny.
Stand Fast! Holdfast to what you have learned knowing that God's word will never fail.
Praise the Lord; He is good, His mercy endures forever.

My troubles turned out all for the best- they forced me to learn from God's textbook. Truth from Your mouth means more to me than striking it rich in a goldmine Psalm 119:71,72) 
Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
Psalm 68:1

Expect the Great

To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God. To comfort all who mourn and provide for those who mourn in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor. (Isaiah 61:2,3)  Life is a journey with many stormy seasons, twists, turns along the way. It is critical to stay with the growth and developmental process one day at a time to ensure a successful outcome. Timing is everything! In God's time, if you are obedient, He restores, refreshes the years sowed in tears. Instead of shame, disgrace or enduring through difficult circumstances, you receive double honor when you wholeheartedly submit to His will. 
So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith. (Galatians 6:9,10 MSG) #Persevere

Restoration Season

So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.
Galatians 6:9-10 MSG #Persevere #DoubleforTrouble

Season of Restoration

Isaiah 61:6,7- ...You will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations and in their riches you will boast. Instead of their shame, My people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance. And so they will inherit a double portion in their land, everlasting joy will be theirs.  Joel 2:25-  I will restore to you the years the grasshopper and the locust have eaten... In these dangerous times, there is a cause for God's faithful and willing servants to arise and build up broken, burned or torn down places in families, nations, ministries for His kingdom. God is concerned about His people and goes to extreme measures to restore them back to righteous standing.  No matter how far people may have wandered in a wilderness of despair, darkness, shame or disobedience when you repent, calling out to Him for help, His love looks beyond desperate situations to bring restoration and refreshing. The love of God is a gift that keeps on giving, is so amazing and His ways are incomprehensible.
Romans 11:33-12:1,2. Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?Anyone who has done Him such a huge favor that God had to ask his advice? Everything comes from Him; everything happens through Him; everything ends up in Him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes. So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going to work, walking around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit in without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well formed maturity in you.  Acts 3:19- Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
