"Don't Miss The Shift"

January 01, 2023 | Pastor Charles P. Akins, Sr.

Passage: John 11:23

Introduction:

There are several movements taking place today. There are many different paradigms such as “Cancel Culture”, “LGBTQ”, “Feminism”, which I thought was already here, but I guess has been reborn.

Proposition:

The most important shift that is occurring is the move of God! Don’t let the things of this world, the confusion of today prevent you from being a part of God’s next big shift!

Body:

The theme for 2022 was “Get into, and Stay In Position”, The Holy Spirit told me that the theme for 2023 is, “It’s a New Season!”

Are you ready? Did you get into, and stay in position as God worked in 2022?

For a season to change there mut be a shift from old to new! From stale to fresh! Outdated to updated! Passe to Nouveau!

A shift can represent any of these changes here:

  • A change in speed
  • A change in position
  • A change in atmosphere
  • A change in paradigm/narrative
  • A change in fortune or life circumstances
  • A change in size

The Holy Spirit said to me, “A shift is an indication of the commencement of a battle, and a resulting victory!”

Remember the saying, “To the victor goes the spoils!”

Spoils are

  • The assets acquired as a result of your victory
  • Title acquired as a result of your victory
  • Gain of control as a result of your victory
  • Position change as a result of your victory
  • Elevation as a result of your victory

For this reason, we cannot afford to miss this shift! Five Wise Virgins

 What have you been believing Our God for? What have you requested?

What do you need from God?

Can you feel it Saints? I feel a movement that has already begun and will manifest itself shortly! I feel impending victory!!!!

There is a shifting that is taking place in earth. Without faith, you will miss this Shift.

If you doubt what I am saying looking at the social media. How many influencers, of very young ages, have died over the last few months, and this year even?

The world over is trying to push the LGBTQ agenda, especially here in the U.S.

Murders seem to be occurring daily everywhere!

We have seen billionaires lose 100s of billions over night!

The legalization of marijuana, and children being offered up for trans surgery.

While all these things are evil and negative, God reigns!

Lastly, African Americans and others who were victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade are learning that some of us are descendants from the Tribe of Judah.

All these situations or ideologies represent shifts.

God is moving in response to his schedule for the last days.

In Joel Chapter 2 he promised to pour out his Spirit among all flesh, based upon obedience.

There was a song that stated these blessings promised by God:

  • A New Season
  • New Day
  • Fresh Anointing
  • Season of Power
  • Season of Prosperity

All things were promised by God to the obedient in the last days, in Joel 2.

If you notice, there is a huge movement of African Americans researching their heritage and discovering that others have already admitted their knowledge of our ancestry in Judah.

God is gathering his people and preparing us for the end of time.

Those who don’t have a relationship with God will find it difficult to hear, see, or trust in the signs. They will miss the shift taking place!

Even in our own regular lives, many find themselves not being healed, delivered, or made free, but a closer, more introspective look could reveal a lack of faith.

Heb 11:6 says.. “But without faith..”

Mark 6:4-6 reads:

Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their unbelief.

What happens when we do not believe in the natural? What is the mental process which results in disbelief in something?

  • Consider the issue
  • Assign a level of difficulty to the Problem
  • Assign a level of competency to the Problem Solver
    • Me or another party
  • Decide on the likelihood of success
  • We then take no action believing it will fail

However, in the Spirit it goes like this:

  • Consider the issue
  • Assign a level of difficulty to the Problem
  • Assign a level of competency to the Problem Solver
    • Me or God
  • Decide on the likelihood of success
    • Level of Faith
    • Do I deserve for God to do this?
  • We then ask/pray God’s assistance
  • If faithless no success

What are the risks of Missing the Shift?

  • You can miss a warning of facing danger
    • Danger can be unnecessary when there was a warning
  • You can miss receiving valuable/important information
    • The next steps can be deterred or eliminated without information
  • You can miss a blessing/opportunity
    • Don’t pass up a gift out of focus with a mind of confusion
    • Don’t miss God’s blessings because you aren’t prepared
  • You can miss making a sound decision
    • Don’t be bogged down with bad and miss something good
    • Don’t make a bad decision because you lack focus
    • A key change in our life or strategy can be lost with a bad decision

How do I assure myself that I will not miss the shift?

  • Know who is responsible for providing the information or notice
    • In the Spiritual sense that is God’s Holy Spirit
  • Remaining in communication with the Party providing the information
    • Your job is to remain in tune with God’s Spirit
    • Don’t allow anything to distract your focus
    • Make Prayer and Fasting your priorities
  • Be prepared to move at a moment’s notice
    • Decide that this opportunity is one you will not miss
    • Put yourself in a place to do what is necessary
    • Make this your top priority
  • Learn what is necessary to make the shift
    • Do I have everything that I need?
    • Is there anything that I need to acquire?
  • Develop a ready mode
    • You have what you need and are ready to move any moment

Conclusion:

God wants to cause a great shift. He is preparing those who are willing, even as I speak today.

We prepare ourselves by surrendering to him in prayer, fasting, study, etc, but in all these things we must first acquire faith!

“Don’t Miss The Shift” Saints!!!
