Course Correction: Are you laboring in the direction of destiny?

Are you laboring in the direction of destiny? Are you swimming, one progressive stroke at a time, in line with your heavenly goals?

Consider your ways Saints. What are you doing today that is contributing to tomorrow's goals? What step have you taken today that brings you closer to your destination? Are you even on the right path or have you chosen another way? Do you even know the answer to that question? And if you are on the right path, are you MOVING FORWARD on that path or have you become stuck in the mud, side tracked, distracted and even sick with discouragement?

STOP for a minute, take a breath. It's time to look up, check your spiritual compass and find your TRUE NORTH again. It's time to re-evaluate your position. Ask yourself, where am I and where am I going? Isn't that what The Lord asked Hagar when she was out in the wilderness, far away from home? But God knew her and the answer to that very question. So then why was He asking it? Well, God wanted Hagar to consider, re-evaluate and ask it of herself. Not unlike when Adam was told by God, "where are you" after the fall. An Omniscient God already knew where Adam was geographically, but did Adam know? He wanted Adam to ask it of himself- where am I? All I'm saying is, check your coordinates, are you on the right track? Are you laboring in the right field and are sowing the right kind of seed? How aware are you of your current location of the soul or are you just straight up lost?

Well, GOOD NEWS for you today, you can be FOUND AGAIN! Hoorayyy🙌‼️

Hagar was lost and off coarse out in the wilderness, but God in his gracious love and merciful kindness found her. God spoke to her, she heard His voice and He encouraged her heart by telling her her future and recalibrating her present coordinates..."go back home and resubmit to your spiritual mother and father" He told her. Even once she was kicked out a second time, she left in peace knowing the Lord was with her and her son, Ishmael, through the word of Promise given by the Angel. Adam was found too, God went looking for Adam's spiritual location and found it through Christ. The place of sin to which Adam had fallen in the garden was a place that a Perfect, Holy, Righteous and Pure God had never gone nor experienced, but was tasted and experienced in Jesus. How you may ask? ...Well, He was clothed in flesh and blood, called the Son of man, He tasted death for us all, He became sin on the cross and was tempted in all manner as we are. Our now High Priest, came and experienced intimately, the weakness of our frail human condition and in this (the place to which mankind had fallen) we are now found. But God is not so unloving or unmerciful to leave us there. He came and RESCUED us and brought us home, back in divine order and right relationship with our Creator. No longer separated, but one spirit with Him. No matter how far off course you think you are, no matter how hard and discouraged your heart has become, the Chief Rescuer is here for YOU! Just ask Jonah, who deliberately disobeyed the direction of the Father, yet God in His mercy, sent a tempest (some storms are redemptive in nature, i.e. ultimately something good is created out of its refining process) and a great fish that guided him back on destiny's coarse. He comes to where you are, wherever that is. Just call on His name and you will find Him there, right there where you are...no longer lost, but FOUND IN HIM. He is our TRUE NORTH and He will never leave nor forsake us. He will hear you, for He is near to all who call upon Him. All you have to do is acknowledge the truth about your situation, whatever that may be. For the truth will always set you free...that it is truly the moment of breakthrough, when you stare the truth right in the eye and acknowledge its reality.

Before you can move forward in the right direction and path for your life, you must find out your present coordinates. Much like a GPS on your phone or car... You have to know your CURRENT LOCATION in order to map out your route to your final destination. So too must you acknowledge the truth regarding your current geographic and spiritual location. Don't be scared, God already knows where you are, but He needs you to know it before He can map out a new course to your true-home; your spiritual destination of perfection in Christ and fulfilled purpose in the earth. You won't call on Him till you see it and you won't make the subtle and/or drastic changes needed till you acknowledge the truth about where you are now and where you're heading! Take a good look at it, it may hurt temporarily, but the price tag attached to NOT knowing is just too high, WAY MORE THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY! So take a good long look, “don't be afraid,” says your Good Shepherd, “I know your frame, I understand your weakness and frailty of the human condition. Believe on me for I am the true vine and you are My branches, we are one, let me lovingly guide you through the forest and into wide open space of the Kingdom in this new season. I will bring life again and renew hope for your future. I will send you on your way like an arrow sent from My Bow...right into the perfect will of The Father. Be not dismayed for I am True-Love and you are very precious to me. No I'm not angry, you are mine and we are one, ask me for help, ask me for guidance, ask me for clarity and true vision for your life and I will gladly give it. Like in Noah's day, I am sending a great and plentiful rain, not unto destruction but unto newness of life, renewed hope, clear vision and passion for your purpose is coming back to you."

"And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah a second time." - Jonah 3:1

"Like Jonah, I am bringing forth a course correction and re-calibration from My Spirit that will pluck you out of one way and supernaturally place you on the right path of purpose and divine fulfillment. Wait on me, clear your head a bit, come away with me and let us reason together. I The Lord have spoken once and will speak again. So hear me now anew. Receive my grace and fresh power to do what you couldn't do before. Receive my word for you, a fresh word for today's season. I the Lord have spoken it and so shall it be.”

Remember there is NOW no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It's a realignment and course correction, not a scolding and throwing away. A smoking flax He will never quench, meaning even if you are burning on your very LAST ember, God won't put you out, he will fan you back into flame again by His lovingkindness. Call on the Rescuer and let Him restore you and refresh your focus, fire and faith. Don't be afraid to look...it all starts with acknowledging the truth of where you're at, then where needed, God changes your coordinates, guiding you closer toward your heavenly goals in Christ. It's time to check in with your HGPS (Holy Ghost Positioning System) and find your alignment with heaven once again.

Love you all,
