2010 Divine Connections: Resign, Realign and Reassign

Sometimes God can speak to us but we may forget what He has said. Later on, we experience what He revealed to us previously and then it starts to make sense. This happens to me all the time. That is why I use a computer journal to record my spiritual experiences, dreams, and prophetic words in detail. Last month I released the Prophetic Insight I received from God for 2010. In it, I talk about a huge realignment coming this year that will result in many people changing jobs, churches, and affiliations. I have received a lot of feedback about this portion of that prophetic word:

Year of Divine Connections: Resign, Realign and Reassign
It is a time of divine realignment that will result in many reassignments. A big shift will occur this year with many people changing jobs, moving, and changing churches or affiliations. Not everyone will do this, but there will be a large number of people shifting positions. God is strategically aligning people to maximize their Kingdom impact and set them up for future advancement. God keeps showing me a picture of a chessboard and I hear three words for this year: “resign, realign and reassign.”

Not everyone will be called to make a change, but we all will be affected by it this year. Some will stay and some will go, but the best way to deal with it is to let it happen. I saw many long-term pastors and business leaders changing positions this year. This is necessary to breathe new life and vision in preparation for this next move that God is going to bring. This is not to say that existing leaders do not have value; many will be promoted and receive callings that have been reserved for this time in their lives. Remember that we are like chess pieces and God is holding us close in His hands.

I had no idea that this prophetic word would be fulfilled in my own ministry. My personal assistant, Julianna LeRay approached us last week about a feeling from God that she is not the right person to help launch the training center in light of our needing a “start-up” mode person. At first we were devastated because Julianna has been the best assistant I have had in all my years of ministry and business (she has been with us for three years). As we discussed it more, God confirmed that He is indeed in this transition. She has had dreams and prophetic words, two of which I gave her in the past, that confirm that she is about to transition into something new, though it is not yet clear exactly what that is yet. Making such a radical move like this may sound crazy to some people, but when you can hear God clearly and trust His process, the results are always the best.

Many people change jobs but the important part is what they leave behind. Julianna brought a new level of organization, peace, and personal connection to those she came into contact with. I can honestly say that there are times that I do not always see miracles happen in my ministry meetings but when I came home from my travels I witnessed administrative miracles as Julianna managed to accomplish all that I threw her way.

She moved with us from North Carolina and has been very faithful and dedicated to our ministry and she helped bring us up to an entire new level. Her character, abilities and gift-mix will be impossible to replace, so please pray with us as we begin the process of determining the next steps for her and for InLight as we re-evaluate our staffing needs. Julianna has our full blessing and I have total peace that God is going to use this time to strengthen us all. Your continued prayers are vital for us as we navigate this transition together. Thank you for walking with us as we pursue what God has for us, both personally and in ministry.
