Transition~
Some Transitions are more painful than others! Understand this: you have Seasons of restoration and Transitions into restoration!
Transition: Passage from one form, state, style, or place to another. the period of time during which something changes from one state or stage to another.
The most important thing I've learned years ago while in TRANSITION is our obedience in response to the transitioning period can either delay or hinder what the Father is re-shaping us for!
While in our Seasons we know that we will be in either one of 3 fires: Purifying-Refining-Consuming! Transition comes after the test/fire!
The number 11 has the biblical meaning of transition. 2011 is the year where we are TRANSITIONING from one place to another. Where we will end up at the end of this time depends on how we respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes during transition (testifying for myself) it may feel tight-restricted-confined but the narrowing of the way will only cause us to go to the new place that God has for us in the season if we do not fail the test during the pressure. **Faint not**
Why must we go thru a Transition just for Restoration? Example: you've been praying without ceasing, fasting faithfully while being led by the Holy Spirit, standing upright before the Father diligently for years seeking the Lord whole face for restoration in a certain area of promise! Your heart (mind) has pinpointed on one place (now time) when the Father has been REstoring all other areas of your life from 30yrs ago! See we can not receive the full restoration if we ourselves are not prepared (mind change) to recognize when it do appear!
Joel 2:25 "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you"
He will restore the YEARS-not months nor days but years that were stolen-cheated out of-gave over thru manipulaton-lost due to lack of knowledge! He has restored and some of us are in transition to receive those NOW!
Theres never a time to compromise what the Most High has said to us. He is not a man that He would lie. If He said He would do something, He has not changed His mind.
During times of Transition is a time of GREATER/DEEPER intimacy with the Most High! When the Messiah was being prepared for His last duty where did we find Him? In prayer constantly-praying for those the Father gave Him and for His hour yet to come!
Mmmm the Father lead me to post this due to the Transition that I'm in now-not knowing truly how far back the Father has been restoring some much needed things in my life for I had my eye (see thats where I messed up "my eye") on the now. Nothing about any of us, whom He loves, that can not be restored to Wholeness again!

Thank you for sharing this. I feel I might be in a season of Transisition in my job/career as well as visiting and possibly joining a new church.
I am seeking more itimacy with the Lord. This has already been spoken to me.
