Genesis 2:21-25
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
1) God Might Cause You to Fall into a Deep Sleep
I’ve seen in my life when I enter into a season of transition, gifting’s seemed as if they go inactive. Which led me into extreme times of frustration and then I started asking questions like, “Where Are You God”? Lots of times, I wasn’t mature enough to realize that God was nearer then than ever before. I’m sure many of you have been in the same position. Lesson learned, in seasons of great transition, learn to “lie down” and rest. In this season, you will begin to receive what I like to call, “downloads”. God will always guide and protect the ones that submit to his will. Stay consistent in your time of “moving”. As you begin to receive “downloads” direction and clarity will come. Everything you do in this season will determine your next season.
2) God Might Ask you to leave the Familiar to Get Closer to Him
In verse 24, we see where the bible says, that a man shall leave his father and mother. First of all, we all love our parents, but I’d like to suggest that in this passage that the author stated this, so that the reader could understand, that familiarity could hurt the relationship between the “couple”. Could it be that during a season of “moving”, or transition, that God would want you to leave familiarity behind? Possibly remove yourself from certain people, places or things? Now, I’m not saying, leave your church or Abandon your friends. But what I am saying is build you an altar and seek His face. I promise He will show up on your behalf! Try it, you have nothing to lose!
3) Be Not Ashamed of Your Transition
Verse 25 says, “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed”. Don’t be ashamed of your season of transition. It isn’t something to be upset about. It isn’t something to be scared about. In this season, God is elevating you and positioning you for a greater season. The key though is to stay consistent and faithful to his calling upon your life. Don’t give up! Stand tall and be proud of who God has called you to be!
Is God trying to promote you but your afraid of failing? Maybe you’re tied down to people, places or things and you’re afraid of being alone. Could fear be holding you back from your elevation?
I want to leave you today with the following scripture:
Psalm 24:7
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Today, lift up your head! You will see the King of Glory come into Your Situation!!
