Feeling Stuck or Adrift? This is For You Right Now

Stuck in past seasons

For the past several months, I have been talking a lot about how God is doing a new thing and we need to forget the former ways of doing things. This is not always easy to do, as most people by nature resist change. The change happening right now is a major paradigm shift for us to move into the new season at hand.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV

Recently, I have noticed that many people I meet seem to be stuck in a previous season—though some might not be aware of it. It is almost like their spirit is still in a previous time while God’s Spirit is calling them forward. For others, it could be their soul is stuck in a previous time and it is keeping them in past pain.

Freedom

God spoke to me to begin setting people free from these past connections. This might not be for everyone, but if you have felt stuck in the past or you have been part of a previous group who you are no longer with—then it is possible this is for you.

Many pastors, apostolic and prophetic leaders who you have trained with or been under their ministries have opened up heavenly access to revelation and teaching for you—based on their anointing.

A biblical example of this is what Jesus said to Nathanael in John 1:50–51. He said that he would see Heaven open and angels ascending and descending upon Jesus. This indicates that we could get an open Heaven of revelation and understanding by being around certain teachers and leaders.

Sometimes God changes the season of our life and in the process He is bringing new revelation; yet our spirit might still be stuck in the previous time. I am not talking about changing the message of Jesus or distorting it to fit our needs. I am referring to when God legitimately moves us to a new time and the old ways of doing things are no longer effective like they were before.

[Tweet “Sometimes God changes the season of our life and He is brings new revelation.”]

Two examples of this

• Matthew 9:14-17—the Pharisees and some of John the Baptist’s followers asked
Jesus why He did not do the things they did, such as fast. They were stuck in the past and were not able to recognize the new thing God was doing.

• In Acts 19:1-7—the Apostle Paul met a group of Christians who had only received
the baptism of John the Baptist and did not know the full message of Jesus and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

If you have felt adrift or disconnected and you are not sure why, or you have recently changed affiliations—this might be for you.

Activation prayer

I want to pray this over you right now:

Holy Spirit, I pray integration to happen over each person, right now, who has been affected by this season change. We want to be aligned with Your perfect timing on Earth as it is in Heaven. So, we ask now that you would close off any old heavenly access places that are no longer for this season. God calls you forward into this new season and into the appropriate alignment that you need for right now. In Jesus name, amen.

Now by faith, just push the door open and allow your spirit to exit the previous season and enter into the new time that God is bringing to you.

I had to do this over myself as many of my apostolic and prophetic leaders have changed. When I prayed this prayer, I suddenly felt clarity and integration again.

Blessings,

Doug-sig

    I feel this definitely spoke to my heart and spirit, and change is in the air in my life right now. I have felt like I have been in the desert alone and not knowing where God is leading me, but I keep trying to press through and continue to walk by faith, as I hear Him say submit…I know the Lord is with me even though I feel so alone in this season, but I feel encouraged and blessed coming across your words. Thank you and blessings❣

    Yes this is right for me as the Lord is now moving me into the dream he gave me 2010. I could see it all but did not have the know how or material to do this. The last thing I needed to go ahead, a man showed up at my door with the access to the FDA approved product that I was trying to google and search for. Then there he came to my door. What a miracle, as I am in Canada and there is only one distributor in North America that has this product approved, and out of no where he comes to my door with the information. He was in the occult and did try to put fear into me, but God used him to bring me the info He needed for me to go forward. Now just waiting on packaging & labelling to brand my products on my web site. Wow. Last week there were two huge clouds that were Angel wings over our house. A man that is staying with us until end of August could not believe his eyes. He took pictures to send to his wife. God is good, the warfare has been great. It is the time to go ahead now and preach the good news of Grace to the lost, the poor, the lonely, the sick, the prostitute, the lowly. The time is ripe. Isaiah 61 America will be great again to go out and preach the good news before Jesus comes again. Amen

    I believe God is bringing me into a ministry for those that are in homosexuality. I’m surrounded by them, and I have a very deep and real love for them as I do my own children. They seek me out and I know it’s Gods love that is pulling them in. Im a mature Christian but have had no training and am wondering if there is any resources that you could suggest for me? Please those of you that have children or loved ones that are lost pray for us that we might beable to reach them with the love of Christ.

      I also have a love and compassion for the LGBTQ community. There are a few that I have been praying for for quite some time. I believe they need the love of Jesus, and not to be told to get it together or clean up their act before they come to Him. We catch them, He cleans them, is what I heard a friend say. If they don’t discover the Holy Spirit and God’s love, how will they ever repent? I say love them and let Jesus sort them out.

    Doug I just read this last night! Because the title caught my eye. Yes I have been stuck, adrift for a long time! Everything I try to do when the Lord speaks to me to do is like I don’t have His strength. Even though I pray and ask for it continually. It’s like there is a block that’s keeping me from going forward to what God is speaking to me about. One time God spoke to me and told me to come up here, I have a lot for you to do! He has revealed to me His callings in my life. I do have high callings! And truly from my heart ((I don’t want to miss them))! I have just started on the 1module and going through the 4 activations.

    I needed this so badly! I have had such a difficult time focusing on Hearing God 365. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew it was something. Had been praying for progress. Leaving the former behind and moving onto the new! Thanks Doug!

    Hi Doug, this article really spoke to me. The past 3 months I’ve been accelerated by the Father and I am right in a place that frightens me as I can sense He is pushing me into something I have no control over. I keep feeling like I want to cry because I am stepping through that door. He has given me supernatural fire of love for the Americans ( I am myself an Estonian, I live literally on the other side of the world). I have no idea what to do or how to do but He is pulling me towards the States. I had a sign of a specific city 2 nights ago, so I am getting even more scared. Could you, Doug, please, pray for me? I’m one of those rejected, abused, pulled through the dirt of life and am a single mother of a special needs child. I need support, strength, confidence. If you have a Prophetic Word for me – definitely let me know. I am ‘giving birth’ to something I have no idea of………He is stretching me so much. And yet I can’t live a single day without praising His name and pulling Him nearer to me. I am hungry to set the American nation to supernatural fire of the Father. Sending you so much love, L

    I do feel stuck. And so disappointed in my health & lack of momentum. Lots of grief. Like time has been lost & my purpose is unclear. For the most part, I have always had a clear vision. No longer. I have prayed my is heart not hardened; that it remain soft. Such dullness of spirit & overwhelming soul issues. Likely some depression. Only “alignment” appears to be the actual hands on quality of the work I do rather than relationships. No time for anything other than work & self-care. I feel wasted and without purpose. I have asked that in His great mercy, I would at least have opportunities to love well. Not happening. I feel like a robot.

      Wow. It’s like you’re reading the story of my life right now. Let’s pray for each other. Alot of what is happening with me is disenfranchisement with the church because of watered down gospel or using the pulpit for political agenda rather than saving people from destruction. It’s hard for me to feel connected. I’m always on my guard for false teaching and political manipulation. Thank God church attendance is not required for salvation, or I would be in trouble. I cannot reconcile the feelings I have about what the Bible says we are to do: love others as ourselves, and what the evangelical political train tells us to do: fear, hate, and avoid others who are different from us. It sends me running in the opposite direction, only to find things there that I also can’t get behind.

      I so relate to your post as I too have been going through almost the same things. But this I know it was during this time that the Lord has been cleansing me. Not only in the spiritual but the natural. So let the Lord bring you through remember the work you do with your hands is important and beautiful to the Lord. You do have purpose you are His child, and you are in this quiet time for a reason . Keep seeking and searching He is Faithful and True and He will bring you to the other side. I got my house in order threw things out and organized and things started to progress. He loves you so much so rest and let His cleansing give you comfort!!!
