Times of Transition

Seasons of transition are such a vital time in the life of a Christian. I am noticing more than ever that the times of transition that I go through, are actually a training ground for my ministering to others. Our personal victories and stories of overcoming obstacles are meant to be a blessing for everyone. Once we overcome a sin pattern or break agreements that we have made with the lies of the enemy, we take ownership over it. No longer are we slaves to that sin pattern, but we actually take dominion over that area. There is no greater accomplishment than stepping into the freedom that the blood of Jesus bought for us. I know in my life I underestimate the amount of freedom that I actually am able to walk in. Jesus did not live a sin-free life and then bear all of our sins on the cross so that we could have partial freedom. He suffered the cross so that the power of sin would have absolutely zero amount of dominion over us. Paul makes a declaration in Romans 8:2 that states this, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.” In verse 6 he tells us that those  whose mind is set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace! Jesus said “My peace I give to you”. So as we go through seasons of transition, rejoice in the fact that if our mind remains set of the Spirit of God, life and peace are the outcome. And as we take ownership over that area of transition, we will be able to release life and peace to others who are going through their seasons of transition.
