New Season - Pastor Nicole Crank

who what is ready to enter a new season say me who and that is what we are talking about today we're talking about getting into a new season and man I am ready who's ready for some blessing who's ready for God to open up the windows of heaven who's ready for the next level of how these are our banner years and I'm planning on living them out so I got with God and I was doing my praying I'm talking to God about my new season I mean I got I got my notebook open you just tell me where to go sir he's like well why God you know but go but why don't you write something down yes sir he said write this down okay he says so many times God calls people into a new season and instead of moving forward they go backwards and they create reasons for leaving their old one actually he didn't use the word create he used the word manufacture they manufacture reasons for leaving their old season he said and I want to open the store and I want you to go but you get stuck over here complaining about the last thing I gave you suck the air out of me suck the air out of my lungs did it do that to you I mean maybe you didn't make that sound that's like God I want to go to that next level I want to go to that next level I want that guy who dropped that thing in the back to quit dropping stuff we want to go to the next level but then we we get stuck we get stuck complaining we complain I was I had it in my head as I was seeing this I was I was seeing a zookeeper and I think I was seeing this because I love animals and we complain about the gifting God's given us trying to be something that we're not because somehow we've gotten in our head that management is better than being able to be the doer and truthfully managers all they do is they spend 100% of their time trying to find people who can do the do really well and if we can do the do really well and that's your flow and that's your gifting stop trying to get out of the call of God on your life and I was thinking about a zookeeper and being with animals because frankly animals are nicer than people and I was like you get to be with the animals and have the animals but then they start thinking there's more for me and God has more for me and there's a new season in my life I think I'm supposed to be the superintendent of the zoo and when God gives us a glimpse of the open door that's out in front of us which so many times he will he will show us he'll give us a glimpse of what he's wanting to take us to so that we know to start getting our stuff together and start getting our act together and start getting our prayer life together and start getting prepared for what he wants to do he'll give us a glimpse but just because he gives us a glimpse he doesn't necessarily take us immediately not because he's a cruel god because we're an unprepared people so well well we'll be taking care of the animals and we'll want in there and then we'll start pushing people aside trying to get that promotion trying to work our way into it in the physical God so many of the new seasons that God gives us are not necessarily in the physical they're in the spiritual but I'll explain it don't worry I'm not gonna leave you there if you like holding on by a thread hold on tighter it's gonna be okay God doesn't give us everything in the physical he gives us so many new seasons in the spiritual but if we're if we're the zoo tube we're trying to get this superintendent what happens as we find ourselves in the superintendent's office exactly with what we wanted but not what God had and we start pushing paper and we realize I'm absolutely miserable and I miss being with the animals because people are mean get me back with you put me back in with the Jackals they're nice chuckles are mean animals you don't get it that's okay when you have to explain the humor it's not very good so we end up out of the will of God turn to your neighbor right now well then spring and say I don't want to be out of the will of God so we start pushing people to get where we want and we start complaining about what God has given us we complain about the car that God gave us a guess it causes so much more gas my car uses more gas than my uncle outputs out at the football game listening to the laugh roll and then that lady really get tickled was awesome we start complaining about the car it's just a rattle trap but I don't even you know gosh it just smells like old chicken nuggets we'll check under the seat well I don't like this job anymore they don't treat me right it just you know they don't pay me enough and I just worked too hard I don't like this relationship they don't treat me like the king I am or the Queen I am and then we start causing fights and causing reasons and causing dissension to try and give us a good reason to get out of that we're manufacturing a reason the Israelites did it the Israelites did it they had all these reasons they couldn't go to the promised land and all the problems our God he won't give us meat and God give us a mean God we need water and he gives them water and God they've always got a reason and everything is terrible and they can't handle it why can't we just go back to Egypt and God's like why are you wanting to go back to Egypt when I wanted to take you to the promised land but if you complain you remain and then you end up blame cuz we're out of the will of God we're defeated we can't handle all of the problem and the strife that we're bringing onto ourselves because we're cursing what God has previously blessed us with oh I know it's real quiet now in this it's the enemy's tool in it to get us to satisfied and get our mouth going you ever done that okay now I want to I want to aim in I don't want to hand raise because I want to know that I'm not alone in this in this church right here you've you've got something you've got a glimpse of something you've actually enjoyed something but you found yourself bad-mouthing something and you even knew when you were bad-mouthing it you're like I'm not really this unhappy about it just say Amen you can exit well matter of fact the way you exit is the way you will enter and you can exit without a fight you can exit a relationship without a fight I did this successfully one time in my whole life so I'm gonna tell you about that one time but one time I got it right who wants to hear about the guy that I dated before Pastor Dave can you handle it all right so I met this guy and we we dated for about a year so I knew him fairly well you want to know what I have to say about him he's kind and he's gentle and he's a gentleman and he believed in me and times when I didn't even believe in myself and I honestly think if you asked him he'd probably say very much the same things about me you want to know how we broke up so we were walking out of a restaurant I honestly can't remember the conversation and to be super honest with you I think I was partially mentally checked out I was just like uh-huh yeah that's nice bah-bah-bah go into the car until he said is I'm he opens the car door for me and gentleman I go to get in the car and he says how you know since I'm never getting married I popped out of that seat like it was spring loaded you just said to a single mom would I said wait a minute I'm a mom I've got a son yeah I'm looking today I'm looking for a relationship to lead to marriage and he's like well my parents don't have a great relationship I don't think I want that in my life I'm like when were you gonna tell me and he's like boy I wasn't thinking about getting married have we talked about birds no I'm like well well then what are we gonna do cuz I want to get married and you don't so I don't think I see a future I don't think I do either does this mean we're not gonna talk anymore well we could still be friends well yeah we have a good time okay you want to go the movies yeah all right let's go the best breakup I ever had I was still sad but there was nothing wrong with him he just wasn't right for me there was nothing wrong with me I just wasn't right for him we don't have to manufacture a million things wrong with them or a million things wrong with us just because we weren't right together want to hear about the girl that Austin dated before MJ and a mother in law's view of it I'll tell you what I have to say about that little sister who spent three years with my son she is beautiful and smart and ambitious and she's gonna do very well for herself in life that's what I have to say about her after three years I think Austin would say the same thing MJ I'm not so sure not that she has anything against the girl but I've never met David's ex-wife but I have my opinions just because things aren't working just because you see a new season just because you know here is not where you belong anymore it doesn't mean that we have to go to blows and we don't have to manufacture a reason I want you to turn to your neighbor right now and say you don't have to manufacture a reason turn to a neighbor on the other side and say the same thing I want us to really be deep in that because so many times that complaining anchors us to the very place we're trying to get out of we're unhappy in relationships and we continue to be unhappy in relationships until we figure out the way that we've been talking about it is it working God wants us to get stronger God wants us to love stronger God wants us to live stronger God wants us to be stronger financially God wants us to be stronger in our health God wants you to be stronger and prosperous he says live no live long and prosperous Bock I don't know whatever the thing goes figure but he says with long life I will satisfy you and show you my salvation he says beloved above all things I pray that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers that's first John which is not Spock so we want to get into these new seasons right amen we want to get into these new seasons so how do we know that it's a new season and how do we know to go because so many times I said earlier the new season isn't a physical new season it's a spiritual new season so are you telling me all my blessings are gonna be spiritual blessings and I'm not gonna be able to see them no I'm telling you God can bless your socks off right where you're at right where you're at I don't know how God's gonna bless me here well let me tell you my my experience with God I've been in the same position in the same organization with the same title for 14 years goodness and mercy what's a girl got a Duke did get promoted around this joint and yet I am not the same person I was 14 years ago and I've had so many opportunities in the last 14 years and God's given me so many blessings in the last 14 years and every time the church grows I grow every time the church plants a campus I grow every time the church meat reaches new people I grow every time the church goes on a new television station I grow every time new people go to heaven because of a faith church salvation prayer I grow my grow there's been staggering in the last 14 years but the pay but the position but the title but the organization none of that changed god knows how to bless you exactly where you're at he knows how to take you in a noose into a new season exactly where you are it doesn't necessarily mean changing jobs or changing cities or changing houses or changing cars maybe God wants to bless your socks up in the house you're in maybe he's like spend a couple bucks remodel in that place cuz what you don't know is that neighborhood is about to go up and value a lot and the neighborhood you want to buy in is about to go down if you'll just settle yourself and trust me for the season I want to take you in - and you're not just getting all Restless oh I'm just Restless I think that's changing my season because I don't know I just don't feel good to hear any more people talk about me and I got his money yeah I think that thing was shiny so I think I need something I saw somebody else get promoted so now I think it's my time and I saw somebody else get a new purse so I think it's my turn I'm just Restless I'm just feeling a restlessness in the spirit what is that what is that restless in the spirit are we moved by a restlessness in the spirit or are we moved by the call of God even with Abraham he heard God's call he did Abraham didn't say well I'm getting restless so I'm gonna leave this land and I'm going and hopefully God will speak to me no God said hey Abraham you need to go and I'm gonna show you where to go that's in Genesis 12 he said the Lord said to Abraham Jennifers 12:1 and 2 let's go there for just a second it says leave your native country your relatives and your father's family which Abraham was not completely obedient and the part when he didn't exit well okay start right there he brought wot with him he wasn't supposed to bring lot with him he didn't exit well he didn't exit the way God told him to exit so lot when he brought light with him lot ended up losing his wife in Sodom and Gomorrah Locke got himself in trouble and Abraham had to go fight and get him out and lose some of his family and some of his friends lot ended up getting in a fight with Abraham and he had divided his land into two and give lot half of his land all because God said hey don't bring that guy with you God's never trying to hold anything from you he can see the future that we can't see and he knows the trouble that it's going to bring you come on somebody he's looking out he's looking over the hill he's looking around the cars and he says exit well so he's he'll them to exit the land and go to the land I will show you God will give you a general direction you have to follow the general direction before he gives you the specific direction family that means pray that means seek him that means have your high God time that means be with him that means attend charge that means tithe that means serve that means don't act like the devil and ask God to bless you he'll give you a general direction and it's not with restlessness matter of fact I Got News for you if you're Restless I very highly doubt it's God it's very likely the enemy because the enemy's gonna want to try and move you out of where God is trying to bless you from I'm not saying that you're supposed to stay in that spot forever but if you're like God I want to bloom where I implanted God's like well then great quit pulling yourself out of the pot all the time and give me a chance to grow you some roots come on somebody come on Welding development I'm gonna say a statement right now that you're probably gonna like about as much as the manufacturer when are you ready God's probably gonna keep you a lot of places a lot longer then you want to stay there and the reason for that is development you see development doesn't happen when we get everything that we want anybody got a spoiled kid in their house Ashton crank if you're in here you better raise your hot hand little two-year-old I want a cookie you give them a cookie you're driving down the road at 40 miles an hour mommy I want the new mcdonald story we about have a car wreck pulling in the drive-through anything to keep those little tykes happy right well it doesn't grow their patients it doesn't grow their perseverance and as they get older as parents we're supposed to make them work for it and make them try for it make it burn their own money and make them clean their own room a couple of these people are like oh that's what you're supposed to do this is a revelation from God God tells us in Romans 1 that we're supposed to go from faith to faith we start living a little bit on other people's faith people lead us in the Salvation prayer the prayer teams at the front of the stage pray for us if we're healing after services we get a campus pastor to pray for what's going on in our life we get with our I connect and I connect holds us up and they pray for us it's we're going from faith to faith we start cutting on other people's faith but then we grow our own faith legs and we grow our own faith muscles speaking of muscles my legs hurt I went to the gym Friday which is a really terrible idea to do leg day on Friday and try and preach on Sunday in heels you know but you know what that hurting is its me letting it's my body letting me know you have broken down a lot of these fibers and therefore they are mending and becoming stronger a little bit of pain not bad pain right not God's gonna hurt you pain but you can feel it when you're being stretched speaking of being stretched this is gonna be a really attractive position for me I'm so excited about it when you stretch it doesn't feel good right and when you stretch you're supposed to grow so if I bend over right now and I go to stretch okay this is where I can go to in this cute right but if I stay for a minute and I go ahead and shake it out watch what happens when I shake it out for a minute watch this watch this did you see that undo it one more time you see that that hurts you ever been to a massage therapist or a physical therapist or somebody and they stretch you and you're like hey bro that ankle doesn't belong over here and it hurts and you tell them to stop if you want God to stretch you from faith to faith if you want to be in a place called development development happens in the dark if you have a camera the whole girl just said mommy what's a camera it's got film you take the film out you take it out in this room it's ruined it can't expose it to the light too soon you got to take it into the darkroom take it out in the dark you got to wash it in the right fluid you got to take it through a process and let it dry and then you can take it out into the light the development that God wants to do with us or in that place when we are uncomfortable come on somebody the enemy wants us to move and God says don't move just yet let me work out some patience let me work out some faith of your own let me get your face muscles so strong you can walk on your own you're not gonna be propped up by somebody else's prayer no we're gonna turn you into a prayer warrior so you can speak to your own future you can speak to your own life you can speak to your own problems you can say now move into the sea in the name of Jesus and that way when you get to the new season the new season comes with the trials and tribulations of its own and if we're not prepared for those we're gonna fall backwards God doesn't want to send you off into a season you're not ready for he wants to prepare you for that next season and where he wants to prepare you you're gonna call it wrestling the enemy's gonna call it not fair and God's gonna call it preparation it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger it makes you able there's a lot of things that don't scare me anymore I used to get a little bit nervous some people will come to me to pray about certain things and I'd be like oh snap that's big now people act up come at me I'm like come here Jesus ooh my hands on your head on any skirt or their growth I ain't scared of that tumor I ain't scared of that cancer I ain't scared of the fact that you acted like a demon you keep acting like that I'll cast that thing out of you God prepares you and then things come at you a Goliath comes at a David David's not scared he says I am ready for this season because I was on the back of a field when my brothers and my father forgot about me they were picking a king and they didn't invite me to the party when he asked for all the sons now emotionally I'm more prepared I killed the lion and I killed the bear mr. giant so now when I look at you I tell you I'm gonna feed your uncircumcised flesh than a thousand the other day because God has prepared me where nobody else could see it was in the dark on the backside of a field but I'm ready for my new season and they came out of that season Saul has killed his thousands but david has 10,000 he was promised the kingship and he was promised no taxes Jesus he was promised a good wife I'm telling you God's promises are headed your way but go ahead and stay in the place that God's called you to be and so you're ready to enter the season on God's timing somebody give God a hand clever brain y'all trying to get me to act like it's a 12:30 hmm 12:30 we throw down it goes this good 12:30 I might end up sweating I got four minutes left all right I'm coming back at 12:30 we won't take that thing apart you're welding city you well then spring you better get in the car and get here for the 12:30 or start having enough people to have at 12:30 when's the last time you invited somebody to charge because well then spring should be partying with us like the 12:30 right they never seen that y'all won't even know what to do we will teach you all the sudden they're like pastor Phil can we stream that one can we just stay go ahead pastor Phil let him stay so as I close I want to tell you about Elijah because so many times we quit when what we need is a vacation Elijah was in the same place he didn't want to do it anymore god I quit there's Chuck Jezebel's after me she's gonna kill me I don't know what to do God said go lay down and sleep when he woke up there was an angel who made him a little cake he ate the cake and he and just said go back to sleep he wakes up the angel makes the bullet okay he eats the cake and he goes back to sleep I read that and I said God how do I get a cake angel wakes up it's a cake it's like god I want to quit God says you me desert meeting let's go buddy brings him out there and he spent times with God in the desert there's a fire there's a flood there's an earthquake God said I wasn't in any of the physical movements that you saw there was a whisper God was in the whisper God was in the spiritual announcement of the new season and he said to Elijah Elisha I've got something for you to do Elisha said I'd wanted to quit before but God I'm ready for my new season he had vacationed he had rested he had eaten and he had spent time with God and he's ready for his new season now he's like God says awesome first Kings 1915 he says the Lord says to him okay you're ready for your new season go back to where you came God said what go back to where you came matter of fact don't go to the good part of where you came from go to the desert of where you came from God sent him back for in so many times we want to move on to that next thing and God's saying I can't send you forward until I send you back you might have to come out of that house you might need to step down from that car you might need to go back to your old job back into that relationship we might need to ask for forgiveness we might need to rebuild some bridges well you might be thinking hold that's too hard I can't do that 1st Peter 5 6 & 7 says when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of God in due time he will exalt you you see we're trying to get there on our own we're trying to get there without listening but here's what happened to Elijah he listened and he went back and when he went back he was faced with 400 false prophets he said y'all bring your a-game and I'll bring mine they served a false god it didn't show up he served the one true God God showed up in a big way and he was reinstated he was refueled his confidence was back he was ready to take on the world and that's when God said you were obedient do what you didn't want to do and now Elijah I am opening it up I am bringing you Elijah someone to mentor and seven thousand prophets to back you up that is what God has for you family he's got your back he's got your preparation and he has your future planned out for you because he has a future and a hope according to Jeremiah 29:11 he's got plans for you they're so big they're exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask think or imagine according to Ephesians 3 and 20 God's plans for you would blow your mind that's why your mind has to be developed even handle the plans that he's bringing you he's got a lot for you friend so I want to pray for you right now if you believe that you're moving into a season God showed you something but you're not there yet and you'd like me to pray for that well then Springer City Online everyone would you raise your hands to heaven so I know who I'm praying for father God in the name of Jesus I pray right now you say the footsteps of the righteous man they are ordered of the Lord God we don't try to order our own footsteps we follow yours whether they're backwards sideways or they look like the hokey-pokey we trust you Lord you said that that word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path God light it up for us you tell us in Isaiah 55 to be led forth with peace show us peace help us leave with peace you said in Colossians 3:15 the peace will act as the umpire God we will follow your peace and we will trust in you and as we're trusting in you we know that you're gonna bring us the good the willing and the obedient they shall eat the good of the land I pray right now that the windows of heaven are opened up and they are pouring down a blessing that we cannot contain that you're opening doors making avenues making new ways you're bringing down and you're bringing down gates you'll bring I've seen like hurdles and obstacles being toppled over and I can see a dam in my head this huge dam and I'm watching it like crack and tremble in shape and watchin water start to come through there's a gusher that's trying to come through and what's been holding it back is beginning to crumble walk in that humility walk in that place God wants to break down the obstacles holding back your favorite that is coming friend continue to do that submit yourself to God and a gusher is coming to you our prophet by that in the name of Jesus amen let's get right a good hat muffled rain
