You used to be happy. In fact, you really enjoyed your job and lifestyle, until recently. What change occurred that made you feel “uncomfortable” or “unsatisfied”?
Over the last few weeks, God revealed to me that He is repositioning His people. Those who lost their way will be redirected to their original calling. Those who became comfortable in their lifestyle will no longer be comfortable until they move with the Cloud of God. The Cloud of God still directs us as it did for the Israelites (Deut 1:33).
What does this mean? Very simply, it means it’s time to move where God’s Cloud is moving. Either He is convicting you to move to a new career or lifestyle. Or He’s convicting you to make significant changes.
When we are not living the life we were created to live, things don’t fall into place as they should. In fact, you feel everything and everyone is against you! That’s when you should realize you’re trying to put a square peg into a round hole; things just don’t fit. However, when you move (or begin to move) in the direction God directed for you, everything begins to “shift” into place. Things begin to line up and make sense. That’s also when the provision and resources become available.
However, before you make major life changes, ensure you are not making decisions that are in conflict with the written Word of God; ever.
Seek wise, godly advice from your pastor or ministry leader. This is a vital time to hear from God. The extra effort to hear accurately from the Lord is very important.
I also recommend you and your spouse be in complete agreement. The marriage covenant is sacred and very powerful. If it’s God, trust Him that He will direct your husband or wife.
Moving in the direction of your emotions can be devastating; or even deadly. Your emotions can (and will) fail you many times. Trust that God confirms His message through the Bible, others, your situations, and miracles. Remember, your design was first His desire.
Lastly, make time daily to listen to God in the morning and/or in the evening. Write in your journal all you believe He is revealing to you. “Journaling with God” is a very powerful tool. You will find as you write what God is showing you, He does wonderful miracles. That’s when discover yourself “checking off” all the magnificent things you wrote during your prayer time.
Being happy (or sad) is not always an indicator that God’s Cloud moved. However, if you and your situation are the same as before, but you’ve come to a place of misery. This may be an indication that God is repositioning you. Be aware and listen to the heart of God. Know that the Lord has your best interest at heart. He is the creator of your purpose and He does not want you to go in the wrong direction. He also knows that your greatest joy will come by serving Him in the calling He created within you. That’s when your spirit leaps with joy!
God’s Cloud moved. Did you?
