Seasons - It's Your Time

Seasons, by Donald Lawrence

I feel the seasons everywhere
And I feel blessings in the air
Those seasons you have sown
You're gonna come into your own.
Seasons, walk into your season.

I feel seasons everywhere
I feel blessings in the air
Those seasons you have sown
You're gonna come into your own.
Seasons, walk into your season
Walk into your season.

I believe we're in a time
when God's gonna bless the saints.
Those who have stayed, those who have prayed
He's going to fulfill the promise He made.
For I heard the Spirit say, its your time.
The wait is over,Walk into your season.
I feel seasons everywhere.
I feel blessings in the air.

Those seasons you have sown
You're gonna come into your own,
Seasons, walk into your season
Walk into your season

I know that you invested a lot
The return has been slow
You throw up your hands and say I give up
I just can't take it anymore.
But, I hear the Spirit say
That it's your time, the wait is over
Walk into your season

You survive the worst of times
God was always on your side
Stake you claim, write your name
Walk into this wealthy place.
The wait is over; its your time

The words of this song say a lot. This is one of those songs that everyone wanted to apply to their situation when it came out....me included. We all want, when things are bad, to be able to "name it and claim it". We want to be able to speak to the storm, and it cease. But, we are still here. We gone through all the prosperity messages, listened to all the songs, been to the conferences, paid tithes, but we are still here.

Is God not listening, am I still doing something wrong? Am I not praying enough? Am I praying too much about the same issue? Is it just gonna be like this always? Did I misunderstand God? Did God say something and I was not listening? Questions, questions, questions.

This is a word for someone today. I must start by saying that this does not apply to everyone. One thing I have learned is that God sends out His word, but it is not for everyone that hears it at that particular time. To those He is speaking to, I just want to let you know that God often works in seasons. Just like he showed us in His creation, some things have to happen at certain times. So you have been in your winter....some of us for a long time. I say to you that God is about to bring some into spring. Will Smith said, "spring will come after winter, like it always does." It is amazing how we know its gonna get cold, but still complain. Today is a prime example. We have had so much cold weather, I was praising God for being able to roll down the windows, and pop the top. Why, because I had gone through winter, and now can more appreciate the spring.

"Today is a new day. Forgot about the problems of yesterday" (Lisa McClendon). I believe God is bringing us into a new place in him, the seasons are changing. We have experienced terrible times in America, but they just set the stage for an unlikely man to be president. Though I do not believe he can do much on his own, I do believe that God put him in position to exemplify the change the God, not man, is bringing to the country. Deeper still, I believe that those of us who have waited, been faithful over a few, are about to rule over many.

Is that you? Well, walk into your season, then!!!!
