Today is a day for a shift. It is a day to shift into the next gear in your walk with Me. It is time to quit sitting and reminiscing. It is time to quit thinking about all you been through, what you are going through now, and what you are anticipating that you will be going through.

The healing process of your past, your heart and your pain is still taking place. But you need to continue to move forward so that it can increase the healing; whereby you are not stuck in the current throttle level in your walk and in your relationship with Me. The time has come to use these things as a testimony for Me. It is time to use these examples of things that you have overcome, so that others will be encouraged and know that with Me they can overcome it too.

People are looking for hope. They need to be seeing it in My children, but if you are allowing wallowing in your mess and in your troubles and not allowing yourself to overcome the enemy and share the experience with others, then people are not going to find the hope they are looking for. They need to see these things reflected in you to draw them even closer to me and in my arms. As you share these things you will feel the healing process pick up the pace and it will begin to come into completion.

It is time to shift into the correct gear in me and quit sitting in idle mode. Quit waiting for something big and spectacular to happen before you step into what you know you are to be doing. You need to realize that I have been working with the small things and as they gather together and the pieces line up, the picture becomes larger and the puzzle becomes complete.

How do you expect to be used and move forward quickly if you do not accelerate into the next speed? You cannot stay at the same slow turtle-like pace speed. Are you waiting to be towed into the next place? I cannot use you in this state and pace that you allowed yourself to get comfortable with. It is time to accelerate the speed and get uncomfortable. It is time to exercise your faith and allow it to grow.

Things need to happen on a much faster speed. There is no more time to just coast your way through. Shift your gear in Me and move forward. Allow Me to tune you up. Let Me increase your fuel with more fire, more than you have ever had before. Let Me change your oil with my anointings and allow them to fuel the fire even hotter and increase the flames inside of you to increase your speed and your capability to do what I want you to do. It is time to shift today My children. Allow this shift to happen and fasten your seat belt because the ride will take you places that you have never been before.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Romans 1:16-17 (NIV)

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

1 John 5:4 (NIV)

4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Romans 8:12-14 (NIV)

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

Isaiah 48:17 (NIV)

17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.
