THE BLUEPRINT FOR YOUR CROSSOVER MONTH…
At the beginning of September I showed you what God is doing in you this month, but this is how you partner with it. Are you ready?
I heard the Lord say that September and October are fast track months. They are months where He does such a deep work of healing and deliverance to set you free and to get you back on track, and to fast track you where the enemy has been trying to delay you and frustrate you for years.
It is the antithesis of the Prince of Persia and Daniel 10 that has been warring against your advancing.
"But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia." –Daniel 10:13
It is the very anti-venom of the assignment of the snakes that have been sent to derail you and take you off course.
It is the very antidote from heaven after a season where the enemy has been trying to prevent you birthing, oppose you, stop you, and assassinate and kill you.
But this crossover is not just about what you are laying down and what God is delivering from your life. It's also about the Lord setting you free from EVERYTHING that has been around your feet so you can live UNLEASHED for the Kingdom of God.
I heard the Lord say that you've been fighting with one hand behind your back. You've been trying to ascend the hill of the Lord, but you're carrying baggage, you're carrying chains, you're carrying so many weights that have been around you that the enemy sent to you, and He's setting you free and breaking your yokes right now.
A few days ago, I was praying further into this month when I heard FOUR KEYS, or practical instructions for us to apply to partner with the Lord in this crossover.
I've already written a word about the crossover in September which you can read HERE.
These are four ways for you to partner with the Lord in this crossover moment:
1 - BRING EVERYTHING TO THE THRESHING FLOOR
The first is to bring everything to the threshing floor. YES, EVERY PART of your life to the threshing floor. Bring your activity, bring your vision, bring your projects, bring your ideas, bring your blueprints, bring your mindsets, bring them to the threshing floor. Bring them to the place of covenant with God. Re-covenant with Him, and let the fire of God come and consume and burn. It's the altar. Everything that leaves that place will be the Lord, and everything that doesn't leave that place was not the Lord. Everything that stays there in the altar, everything that stays there in the threshing floor, will be the very thing God has wanted to kill that has been holding you back.
How? Get alone with Him and make an actual list. Write down every project, every vision, every commitment, every mindset you're carrying right now. Then, go down that list one by one and lay each thing on the altar out loud: "Lord, is this You? I give it back to You." Don't rush it. Give Him permission to burn what needs to burn. Whatever you feel peace and life around when you hold it up, that's what leaves the floor with you. Whatever you feel a red flag or lack of peace on, leave it there, then don't pick it back up out of fear or pressure.
2 - BRING YOUR RELATIONSHIPS UNDER THE BLOOD
The second is to bring your relationships, your alignments, the access and the proximity and the people, all of those relational aspects of your life, everyone who has influence over you, speaking over you, connected to you, and bring them under the blood of the Lamb. Speak and release the blood of Jesus over those things. It will begin to cause that which is not the Lord to manifest. It will cause that which is not the Lord to begin to rupture and break and fall away, and people that are not for you will be exposed. The things that are not for you will be revealed. The snakes in the grass that have been there the whole time will be unveiled for what they are. The witches, hiding as prophets in your life, trying to influence your heart, will be exposed and revealed.
"The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you." –Exodus 12:13
How? Name them. Go through the people who have access to you, who speak over you, who you're aligned and connected to, and release the blood of Jesus over each connection, then watch what happens. Don't strive to figure out who's who in your own strength. The blood does the exposing. As things begin to rupture and fall away, don't chase them down or try to rescue what God is removing. Let what breaks, break. Ask the Lord to guard your ear this month, so you only take counsel from the voices He's set around you, not the ones flattering or influencing your heart off course.
3 - REALIGN YOUR LIFE WITH THE SPIRIT
The third is to realign your life back with the Spirit, because in crossover seasons, you can be moving, striving, doing, and still be out of step with what the Lord is actually doing. The old order had you running on man's strength, running on hustle, running on the momentum of the last season. I heard the Lord say, “this is the month you get back in step with Me. This is the month you stop leaning on the flesh and you realign every part of your life to the leading of My Spirit. Where you've been out of alignment, out of order, out of sync with heaven, I'm reordering it.” And in the reordering, there is deliverance, and as you come back into alignment with the Spirit, the very things that kept you stuck and striving will lose their grip, and you'll begin to move at the pace of heaven again.
How? Slow down and DRENCH your steps in worship before you move. This month REFUSE TO BE LED BY ANXIETY AND RUSH, FEAR, OR STRIVING. Ask Him- "Lord, am I moving in step with You here, or running on my own momentum?" Get honest about where you've been striving in the flesh, forcing doors, keeping pace with the old season instead of His. Where you feel that check in your spirit, stop and get back in step, even if it means slowing something down that you are rushing in order to create an outcome. Trade the hustle for His pace. Wake up asking the Holy Spirit to lead you into the day rather than mapping it out yourself, and follow the peace. Alignment with the Spirit is about moving in sync with what God is already doing in your crossover.
4 - DETOX YOUR 7 AND 14 YEAR SEASONS
There are many movements and chapters of church seasons you have been in that need to be dealt with. I saw in the spirit that people were trying to move forward with parasites still attached, and the Lord said, “deal with them! Sever the soul ties to the people and the places and the movements. Deal with the betrayals. Repent for the things you could have done better.”
How? Go back over your 7 and 14 year seasons and let the Holy Spirit walk you through them. Name the movements, the churches, the chapters you came out of, and sever every soul tie to the people, places, and movements that are still pulling on you or hanging over your head. Where there was betrayal, bring it to the Lord and let Him deal with it rather than carrying it forward. Where are the labels and brandings of man still on you break them off. Where you could have done better, repent, and move on. Come into this crossover clean.
RETURN AND RE-BURN
I heard the Lord say, “this is a month of returning and re-burning.”
As you return to basics, as you untether your life from the complications, as you avoid the hustle, as you avoid all of the things that have been clouding your heart and mind and consuming your time, as you return to Him as your focus, where He is your first thought, the re-burning will come back.
The Lord says, “even now as you're reading this, I'm beginning to reburn in you, in your family, in your marriage, every part of your life. This is a season of the return and reburn, and I'm going to restore everything the locust has eaten.”
"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten, the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm, my great army that I sent among you." –Joel 2:25
That's what this crossover is about. Just as Jacob crossed over the brook into the new promise, this is a moment God will cause a new chapter to begin in your life where you shift from survival back into burning. You shift from grief back into burning. You shift from hope deferred back into burning, in the mighty name of Jesus.
BE WARY OF THIS…
The last thing I want to say to you is this- Be wary this month of what you say “yes” to. Be wary this month of what text messages you engage with and the people you speak to.
Be wary this month of the distractions and the fires and the things that will try to surround you, that look like drama, look like things you need to engage with or deal with, that are actually just the enemy trying to pull you off track.
Wake up every single day and say, “Lord, here I am. Here I am. I'm returning. Will You start the reburning in me?”
I prophesy this is your crossover month, in the mighty name of Jesus!
