1. 拋棄扭曲的思想

有一種奴役心態是被扭曲到無法拋下的。儘管以色列人自由了，但他們多數渴望回到埃及。他們渴望前一個季節的壓制，甚於行在現今季節需要用信心進入的自由中。當上帝帶你轉變過渡時，你曾經認為的方式在將來是行不通的！

2. 認知到你需要的忍耐

"你們必須忍耐，使你們行完了神的旨意，就可以得著所應許的。"(希伯來書 10：36)

3. 不要滿足於以實瑪利

主常會祝福我們的以實瑪利，可悲的是，因著它，我們可能永遠不會意識到，祂起初給我們的真實應許從未實現。不要錯把神的祝福誤認為是神的盟約！

4. 接受批評和誤解

過渡期可能是很混亂的！當你聽到聖靈說"轉變過渡"，那麼是起行的時候了！要預期通常最反抗的都是那些跟你最親的人。

5. 不要浪費時間試圖與神談判

12名探子被派去窺探迦南的要點，並非是讓他們決定是否要進入去佔領地土，而是要他們去制定一個當他們進入時的戰略。一旦上帝啟動轉變過渡，就別想著回到祂那裡找答案。過了一段時間，你自己就會發現！

6. 留心保守你的情緒

當上帝呼召你前進時，不要讓你先前情感投資之處成為把你往回拉住的錨。要留心保守你的情緒，學習如何在聖靈中回應那些反對你的人，而不是在血氣中回應他們。

7. 恐懼將會以控制、憤怒和操縱的形式彰顯在你身邊

當你開始轉變過渡時，不要因你周圍的人試圖控制和操縱你而感到驚訝，因為他們害怕你將要步入的未知領域。你若沒有答案，就無需給他們一個答案。有時上帝說，"是時候起行了"，你可以告訴他們這就是你所聽到的。學會將他們的憤怒視為是他們不希望看到你離開的愛。把他們交託給天父，然後往上帝呼召你的地方前進。

7 KEYS TO NAVIGATE THROUGH SEASONS OF TRANSITION

1. Cast Out Perverted Thoughts

There is a perverted kind of slavery that is hard to relinquish. Even though they were free, many Israelites longed to go back to Egypt. They desired the oppression of the former season over walking in the freedom that the current season provided them which required faith. When God transitions you, the way you once thought will not work in the coming days!

2. Recognize Your Need For Endurance

"For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what has been promised."
Hebrews 10:36

3. Don't Settle for Ishmael's

The Lord will often bless our Ishmael's and sadly because of it, we may never realize that the true promise He gave us in the first place was never fulfilled. Don't mistake the blessing of God for covenant with God!

4. Embrace the Criticism and Misunderstanding

Transition can be plain messy! When you hear the Holy Spirit say "transition", then it's time to go! Expect those closest to you to often fight you the hardest.

5. Don't Waste Time Trying to Negotiate with God

The whole point of sending 12 spies into Canaan was never to decide IF they could take the land, but to develop a strategy for WHEN they were going in. Once God initiates transition, stop going back to Him for an answer. After a while you might discover your own!

6. Guard Your Emotions Carefully

You must not allow where you are emotionally invested become the anchor that holds you when God has called you to move on. Keep watch over your emotions and learn how to respond in the Spirit to those who oppose you rather than react to them in the flesh.

7. Fear Will Manifest As Control, Anger, and Manipulation Around You

Don't be surprised that when you transition, those around you will seek to control and manipulate you because they fear the unknown that you are walking into. You don't have to give them an answer if you don't have one. Sometimes God says, "It's time to go" and that's all you've heard and all you can give them. Learn to see their anger as love that hates to see you go. Release them to the Father and get moving into the place God has called you to.

Standing with you,
