Sometimes we get frustrated and feel alone. I’m not going to lie the season I’m in sometimes feels lonely. But when you feel lonely that is a spirit and you need to rebuke it/close that door. Now feeling alone is a different story. Alone but knowing that God is with you is different. I believe there are times where God separates you from the things you are used to/comfortable. But you aren’t actually alone, you have God. You are just separated but it feels like you are surrounded by no one. Sometimes God needs to get you alone with him because he’s all you simply need in that season. That’s not a bad thing, it teaches you to depend only on God. It’s not to say that there won’t be people there for you in that season if you need it. Of course God will never leave you without people. But it’s different, it’s not the alones you think. It’s the type of alones you aren’t used to. Most of the time we are used to people being there for us all the time. But just like God wants to help you grow he’s helping his other children grow as well. Sometimes we grow into this comfort of depending on people for everything. But God does not like that, we don’t realize that sometimes we go to the level of idolizing the people in our lives;unconsciously. When you are his child, he can’t let that happen. Which is why i believe he allows us to have a season of being alone with him. He wants to remind you that he is God, and that he’s the only one that can do all things/complete you. God also trains you in that season. So that you can understand more what he’s calling you to do in life. So you can understand and clearly hear Gods voice. I’ve noticed in that season where you feel like you are alone that’s really where God reveals so much to you and speaks to you. Of course that’s also if you truly allow him to. God doesn’t waste anytime, he uses what the enemy meant or wanted to destroy you to lift you up. He wants intimacy with us and when we lose sight of that he moves things so that we can see clear again. Also people forget that our prayers have power. When we pray “God i want to get closer to you” “God I need you” “God have way in my life”. Guys becarful with what you pray for LOL!!! God WILL take you SERIOUSLY! Honestly, PERIODD!! I feel like at first it sucks because you never think Gods going to do it in the way you think. If you pray to God that simple prayer, it ain’t going to be that simple lol. But honestly it will be worth it, it may hurt in the moment or for a while. But soon you will see the light on the other side, because you are going to get there; it shall pass. God knows why he allows everything in your life. I received a word where God told me “I know what you need”. That’s the simple fact and sometimes when you lose sight of that he uses certain seasons to remind you and refocus you to him. Something I’ve learned about God, he never wants you too comfortable. For when you are too comfortable you settle for less than what God wants or has in stored for you. He wants you to keep leveling up in him. He never wants you to stay in one spot, he wants his children growing and flourishing. He wants us to be fruitful beings like Jesus was on earth. When God separates you it’s because he wants to take you away from the distractions. He wants to take you away from what can impede you from his purpose in your life. You don’t need to be on the same level as everyone, you are on a different journey than everyone else. Just like they are as well. God is working on his children and there is no room for distraction. I personally believe God is so beautiful for setting us apart. When you choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior he protects you. He protects you from the enemies plans over your life. Now that I’ve truly comprehended the season that I’m in, God has showed me to appreciate him. The things he’s protected me from, man! he is good! He hears the cries and prayers of his children, trust that. I thank God for that season of being set apart. In this season I’ve been able to see with Gods perspective. I’ve been able to see Gods hand In my life now and in the past. I’ve also been able to see his future plans for my life. All because I allowed God to make me one with him. When you allow God to set you apart, what you are really doing is being obedient. You are allowing God to lead you rather than letting your own fleshly/personal desires lead you. I’ve learned over the years about our Father, that he honors those who are obedient and faithful to him. If I want you leaving with something from this blog, is that having a season of being set apart for the Lord is not bad. It’s actually a season of training, growth, fullness and vision.
