When I was in early morning prayer and while leaning into His Presence, I kept hearing the word, SHIFT.

There are times when a word will take me on a journey to study God’s Word and to pray into new insights, picking up spiritual bread crumbs that will lead me into greater understanding.

Immediately I thought about when the LORD spoke words of wisdom to Peter as he revealed that Satan desired to sift him as wheat.

Yet, the LORD prayed that his faith would not fail, (Luke 22:31). Simon Peter had no idea of the events that would unfold, but in time the process brought him into a closer walk with the LORD.

So many times the sifting process in our lives challenge us to reconcile feelings of hurt, disappointments, and misunderstandings.

The beautiful thing is that many times a sifting in our lives better prepares us for the shift that occurs as we abide in Him.​

So many have been pressing into the presence of the LORD. This is not a time to be discouraged, but to walk in a peace and expectancy as the LORD is shifting us into some very powerful life changes.

It is so important not to see the sifting in a negative fashion. Instead of looking to it as a loss we should see the endless possibilities, major future breakthrough, and a higher level of spiritual maturity.

So we press in with an understanding that our place before His presence is the best and safest place to be.

A place where prayers, tears, conversations with the LORD, petitions, and repentance are being laid up.

It is His heart that is forever touching us in ways only we can express in gratitude, praise, and honor unto Him.​

Several things that we might experience during this Sifting:​

I will go as far to say who we are to be, while moving forward as we are now will undertake a major shifting and transformation.

That which remains we must value and we must let go of that which is being removed.

As a shift comes upon us it will reveal to us who we really are and it will be between us and our maker.

We will see things in us that we have never have seen before, and we will position ourselves accordingly.

​Adjustments, changes, and renovation with movement must take place now. We will look back within these next 60 days and say, “Wow, Look at God.”
