When we download new software, it usually requires a reboot. You have to stop what you're doing and restart the computer. It can be inconvenient but afterwards, the computer usually runs better.
God wants you to come out of this with better productivity. Sometimes the reason we aren't passionate is because we are operating on new software.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Where the spirit of the Lord IS not where he WAS! don't let the good keep you from the better!!
The people were thirsty and GOD told Moses to gather everyone around the rock where God told him to strike a rock and water flowed! The same thing happened later but God asked him to speak to the rock.
"Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink."9 So Moses took the staff from the Lord's presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."13 These were the waters of Meribah,[a] where the Israelites quarreled with the Lord and where he was proved holy among them.
Numbers 20
Just because something happened one way doesn't mean that's the way it will always be.
You can't keep striking the rock.
What made you successful 5 years ago might not keep you successful.
If you don't innovate, you will evaporate.
When God asked him to speak to the rock the instructions probably didn't register and he went on auto-pilot. You have to stay sensitive.
The old software was good for that time.
The manufacturer is always making improvements to help make the product operate better.
It's up to us to take the download.
You can think to yourself, my phone is fine I don't need the update because we don't want to be inconvenienced!
This is a new day! It's time to make some changes. New favor. New friendships.
Couple was recently married and her husband noticed that whenever she made ham the wife would cut the ends of the ham off. She asked why and the wife said that my mother would always cut the ends off and she'd make the best ham in all of the world. So the husband called his mother-in-law and asked why she cut the ends of the ham off, she said, " my mother would always cut the ends off and she'd make the best ham in all of the world". So the husband called his grandmother-in-law ans asked why she'd cut the ends off. Grandmother said, it was too big for my pot!
Sometimes we're stuck in traditions and old mindsets that have been passed down. That's why it's good to reevaluate old mindsets. Could it be that your software is contaminated? Things that have been passed down are limiting you!
God moved out of the temple and into us.
But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
Hebrews 8:6
Step into the new way. The better way.
The boll weevil decimated the South's cotton industry, but the city of Enterprise found prosperity instead by planing peanuts which boll weevils didn't like!
Matthew 27:51 New International Version
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split
God is getting you programmed for the amazing future.
