The Timetable is Changing

The prophets have been speaking about acceleration for several years now. Those of us who are within the apostolic and prophetic movements, especially those of us who are forerunners, have witnessed this firsthand. God has done works within our lives, over the last few years, that would normally take a decade or more. Works that would normally take years have been accomplished in mere months. We are being catapulted into destiny.

One thing that I have noticed is that God has been changing the timetable. Don't be wedded to what you thought was the timetable. God is accelerating those plans as previously revealed. There are things that God has promised that you thought would be years off but are going to be released far sooner. This is because of your faithfulness. You submitted yourself to the accelerative and refining process of the Lord and He is rewarding you for it.

God is also switching around the order of events. He is changing the roadmap as things are changing within the world and the Kingdom. Just because you thought your future might be in a certain order doesn't mean that it is going to happen in that same order. Our times are shifting. Much of this is because we are entering a new apostolic and Kingdom age where things are being turned upside down.

We must be reliant on the Holy Spirit and His guiding. Allow Him to show you how certain things in your life are being changed. Ask Him to make clear what expectations need to be shifted. God gives us glimpses of our future to prepare us and so that we might pray into them. It's not so that we can carry them out without consulting the Holy Spirit any farther. We must be more reliant on the Holy Spirit now than any time before.

God has been shifting much of my plans and expectations as this year has unfolded. Things that I thought were going to happen four years or more from now are being moved up in God's timetable. The order of my life has been realigned as I have gone deeper into God's presence and have allowed Him to realign the things of my heart. Don't be afraid of this change. Learn to live with the unexpected. It can be a bit terrifying but God is in control. We are going to see even more of this shifting and realigning as we move into the rest of this year and beyond.
