Acts 1:4-11
I trust what God gave me.
Jesus was about to make His ascension into heaven. The disciples reinforced their faith in Him.
Social Mirroring is when you unconsciously mirror the actions or behaviors when you're in contact with someone.
You have to model what you want mirrored and be intentional with who you develop relationships with.
Social media tells us how to think and we just mirror the outrage. People don't dare to be authentic and stand out anymore.
Genesis 1:27-29
God made you a mirror of who He is. He wants your spirit to look like His.
The enemy exploits the cracks in your spirit and distorts your image of God. God gave you the spirit of love, power and a sound mind. Rebuke the devil - Fear does not belong in your spirit.
What was supposed to be heartbreak is the state you reside in. You weren't meant to stay there. In this season of your life, you can't.
Come into agreement about what your spirit is supposed to look like. You can't be who you are supposed to be in this earth without the right spirit.
The problem and the power live in the same spirit. Can't even see yourself in the mirror anymore. Taking blow after blow starts to change what you believe because your spirit is broken.
The grief changed what I believe in. The disappointment. The heartbreak. It broke my spirit.
Sarah was told she was going to deliver a child after so much emptiness.
We reject the Word God sends because we don't see ourselves the way God sees us. Feel like we don't have the spirit for what God has called me to be.
You have to grow up and grow into that person. God is took faithful to give up on you.
The disciples were commanded into a place they were unfamiliar with but He made them into what He called them to.
Sometimes God uses failure to make you. These are the tools He's using to make you. Allow that failure to make you into a better leader, more like Him.
You were made for this. Glad He made me work for this. I was challenged and had to figure it out on my own. How else would I have known that the weapons form but they NEVER prosper.
When your mirror gets distorted, sometimes you need a model. We've spent so much time serving the model that we forget we're supposed to become the model.
You're being put on the frontline. There was ALWAYS supposed to be a transition where we take over and model what we've been shown.
It's time to start working the glory you've been exposed to. Not exactly sure how to proceed from here - God has prepared them.
This is the time where Jesus is about to send them out to fulfill their mission. They had direct access to Him but not anymore. Imagine what it's like to lose your model and not have an example anymore.
God put something in your spirit and now it's time to become the model.
How do I move from here? How do I build this foundation?
Nobody talks about when you go from glory to glory. It's isolating. Not the flex most think it is. Moving when you don't feel confident or covered.
Before you get the resurrection power, you gotta be willing to be nailed to something.
The power you need for this dimension is different. You need a different kind of spirit.
You're stepping into something you've never seen before. Stop looking at what's left and look for what's to come. If you get stuck in fear and isolation, you'll miss the moment.
II Corinthians 3:17
When you do it this time, you're going to be free.
Where I'm sending you, there is liberty. Don't put pressure on yourself - pressure is not freedom.
Things won't work with the same formula this is a new thing. Be willing to change your routine. Your routine may be limiting who God wants you to be.
The enemy tries to get you to think that it's over and that it won't happen.
Trust that if God called you for it, He'll give you the spirit to do it.
Because the enemy couldn't change God's mind about you, he had to change your mind about God.
