A Purpose For Transitions

September 14, 2022 • Pastor Michael Johnson • Exodus 14:1–6, Exodus 14:10–16, Exodus 14:31

Whenever God decides to transition you, it is designed to do 2 things: 1. It is designed to bridge two timelines. 2. It is designed to mobilize you from 1 place to another place. Question: Why would God need to bridge two timelines? To help you understand what you been through is tethered to where God wants to take you. Genesis 50:20, Genesis 45:7 The departure of Joseph was actually the deployment of Joseph. Joseph being sold by His brothers was God deploying Joseph to be the solution of his families salvation. Romans 8:26-28 All things..... that is good, bad ugly and or indifferent works together for our good. This truth also address the bridging of timelines. For if all things can work together to be used to produce what is good then God can also use multiple experiences in time that occurres in your life to work for your benefit as well. Phillippians 3:12-14 Question: Why does God have you in a transition? Because He is not content nor satisfied with the place you are in. God creates Transitions to Bridge multiple timeliness to help you see His plan and your purpose. Not only that, but God creates transitions to mobilize you from one place to another to help activate and initiate your forward progression towards your purpose. Exodus 12:40-41 ESV — The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. Point #1 Transitions are necessary but not all transitions are convenient. Question: What do you do when the pain you escaped closes in its pursuit to en slave you again? Exodus 14:11-15 Point #2 Transitions are opportunities for a better future but can become a curse when dictated by the complaints that stem from your past. *You will always be a slave to your history when your purpose lies in the hands of an unreconciled reality. Exodus 14:31 Point #3 Transitions are tools used for Evolution CONNECT WITH HEAVENLY VISION https://www.hvcla.com https://www.facebook.com/hvcla https://www.instagram.com/hvcla https://www.twitter.com/hvcla DOWNLOAD THE HVCLA APP Apple: https://apple.co/2col7xk Google Play: https://bit.ly/3fjlkxv Want to partner in giving?
