“Upgrade” - The Series - Own The Moment
The spiritual journey is marked by seasons of both struggle and breakthrough, and understanding this rhythm is crucial for believers seeking to endure faithfully. "Don't faint," comes the powerful reminder from Galatians 6:9, "for in due season, you shall reap if you faint not." This message resonates deeply with those who have remained steadfast in prayer, worship, and commitment to God, yet find themselves growing weary under life's burdens.
What many believers fail to recognize is that the intensification of challenges often signals an imminent breakthrough. Just as demons in biblical accounts would "tear" or convulse a person before departing during Jesus's ministry, our most significant battles frequently amplify right before resolution. These intensified struggles aren't evidence that God has abandoned you—they're confirmation that your elevation is at hand. The enemy exposes himself through these desperate attempts because he recognizes your breakthrough moment has arrived.
The concept of "due season" takes on profound meaning when understood through its ancient Greek translation, "idios kairos"—your own perfect time. This isn't a generic blessing but a personalized moment of elevation designed specifically for your journey. You've been spiritually upgraded, positioned at new levels where yesterday's enemies can't reach you. For those who have remained faithful through the trials, your divine compensation is manifesting now—restoration, breakthrough, and divine encounters unlike anything you've experienced before. The shifting in the spiritual atmosphere is tangible for those attuned to it. This is your moment—own it, embrace it, and step into the limitless expansion God has prepared for you.

What are the challenges life of a believer, and so understanding that challenges and struggles are naturally a part of the believer's life, naturally a part of the believer's life. Struggles and challenges are naturally a part of the believer's life. There are many things that we experience in life that come to cause us to be discouraged. We shed tears, we experience pain, we've been broken, we get tired, we get frustrated, but we want to address the issue that we find ourselves in some time of becoming tired. In Galatians 6, 9, the Bible clearly says the word of the Lord clearly says be not weary in well doing. And many of you, the Lord, show that you have been doing well. You have been serving, you have been faithful, you have been steadfast and have been faithful. You have been steadfast and movable, abounding in the work of the Lord. You've been consistent in your prayer life. You're consecrated, you're believing God, you praise, you worship, oh, my God, and so you're faithful, you love God, you're dedicated, you're committed, you're devoted, you're diligent in your love and in your service to God. You are faithful, but you are tired. Some of you, the Lord showed me you're tired. You get tired because of the experiences, and we talked about the external things that are on the outside of us, that come to distract us or that come to discourage us, that come to try to damper the move of God, to try to damper what God is doing in us. But be not weary in well-doing, for in due season, here's catch this. In due season, you shall reap if you faint not.
Speaker 1:And here's a word of encouragement to those of you who are listening, who are tuning in Don't faint, don't faint, don't faint. I am your host, dr Lydia Michelle Young, here with my co-host intercessor, janine Nicole. She's in the building. This is midweek, midweek, refreshing fire Wednesday. Thank you for tuning in to Sweet Fire, the podcast where the move of the Lord is going on All right. Well, come on. Intercessor, why don't you bless the people with your presence today?
Speaker 2:God bless you everyone. God bless you, dr Lydia, michelle. Don't faint, people of God. Don't faint. In due season we shall reap if we faint not.
Speaker 2:What a word, what an encouraging word for the people of God, because, truth of the matter is many are growing a little weary in well-doing because of the weight of the circumstances and the situations, you know, that come to try to distract the people of God, that come to try to move the people of God, that come to attack the people of God's faith. If the enemy, as we know, if he can take hold of our faith, he has us, he has us right there in his grip, he has us in that snare, he has us in that entrapment, he has us, in essence, in bondage. That's what it's all about, people of God. The enemy, you know he's after our faith. There's no secret. There's no secret. It's been exposed ages ago. But we are here on this evening, we are here to encourage you. Do not faint, do not grow weary because, people of God, it is due season. It is due season. If you take nothing else away from this episode on this evening, take this. It is due season. That's why the struggle has been so intensified.
Speaker 1:Right, it is due season. And we speak into your heart. We speak into your heart, divine strength for those of you who are tired, divine strength, and we speak to your ability to endure, your ability to move forward, your ability to keep going, your ability to not throw in the towel, your ability to not give up your ability. My God, listen, I hear this you will not collapse and fall, but you will stand and rise. I'm going to say that again, intercessor. You will not, my God, collapse and fall, but you will. You shall, my God, we declare you shall. They'll rise and stand and stand, my God. And so we're looking. We've started this series on last week Upgrade, upgrade, up, up, up.
Speaker 1:Where God is elevating, he's moving you forward, he's increasing you, he's promoting you. There's a raise, there's a lifting, and then when we look at, that's the up part of upgrade. But when we look at grade, it's talking about the ranking and the degree, excuse me, the degree in which God is elevating you, the degree in which God is moving you, thrusting your life forward. So the title again of this series this is episode two is upgrade. There's an upgrade, there's a shift that has taken place in your life. There are two groups of people, my God, who will benefit from this episode, two different groups of people who will benefit from this episode, and those groups of people are the group of people are those who have experienced the struggle, those who are experiencing challenges, but you have endured, you have been faithful, you stay committed. My God, your promotion, your elevation, your upgrade is right now, my God, this is your due season, this is your due time.
Speaker 1:On last week, where it said that, humble yourself, therefore, under the authority, under the control, under the word, under his will, under his way, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, and then what, in due time, you shall, what Be exalted. God will exalt you, he will lift you, and so this is a time, this word is for those who have endured. You have maintained your faith, you have been consistent, oh, my God, hallelujah. You have been consistent and the Lord is saying promotion is now. You got to catch that. You have to believe that, my God, you have to move in that. Move in it, walk in it, speak it, exercise it, execute it. This is your moment, this is your opportune moment, this is your time, my God.
Speaker 1:And then there are some of you, my God, who are a little tired, but you've still been faithful. The other group are those who have endured, but you got a little stretch longer to go, and God said your due moment is coming. Your opportune time is on the way. You're right at the brink of your breakthrough. You're right at the brink of your miracle. You've been hoping, you've been believing, you've been leaning on God, my God, and God said your time, your time, this is your time. Come on, intercessor. This is your time. Come on, intercessor.
Speaker 2:Amen. This is your time. This is your time, due season, due season. You know, as we know, there's a season for everything. We have a season, you know, to be tried. We have a season to be tested. You know it's our responses during the season of trying, it's our responses during the season of testing that determines whether or not we're going to reap and reign in that harvest. It's the harvest of the promises which God himself has guaranteed. Those of us who will not grow weary in well doing this is harvest time, people of God. It's harvest time and we talked about it I don't know if it was the last episode or the episode before that.
Speaker 2:The enemy always exposes himself, right? He always exposes himself, right. He always exposes himself For those of you on this evening to where it just seems as if you're in a whirlwind. It just seems as if you know you are being hit on the left, you're being hit on the right, you're being hit in front, you're being hit from behind. It just has intensified. You're like, oh my God, why am I going through all of what I am going through right now, and especially at this moment of my life? God, did I not hear your voice at the start of the year that this is my year, this is my season. If this is my year, if this is my season, why am I enduring what it is that I am enduring? You're questioning God. You're questioning whether or not you have heard from the voice of the Lord. You have, you have those tests and those trials, those external things that are taking place in your life right now. That has seemed to intensify. It doesn't seem to be getting any better. It's the enemy exposing himself.
Speaker 2:When we study the ministry of Jesus, oftentimes when Jesus casts out a demon, when he casts out the unclean spirit, what did that fallen unclean spirit do before it exited that individual? It tore that person. The Bible says it teared. But after it teared, what did it do? It exited the unclean spirit through a fit before exiting. And that is why those trials and those tests, they seem to have intensified. They are tearing because they're getting ready to exit. They are tearing because they are getting ready to exit. It is due season, it is harvest time. The manifestation is now. Somebody ought to speak that into your atmosphere, right where you are. The manifestation is now. You have to decree it, you have to declare it, because God is not a man that he shall lie. It's on us. It's up to us how we are going to respond. Are we going to trust God and keep on standing, decreeing and declaring, or are we going to faith?
Speaker 1:and give the devil what he wants, and that is our faith. My God, declare it Now is my time. I own this moment. Right, intercessor, this is my moment. I own this moment. This is my opportune time, this is the appropriate time. This is the moment of truth. This is my moment. This is my moment. The spirit of the Lord is here. This is my moment.
Speaker 1:Intercessor, what did you say last week when you were in an intimate time with God and you heard the Lord say the glory of the Lord is here and you have been devastated. You're at a level of glory, my God. You're have been elevated. You're at a level of glory, my God. You're in a place. You're higher than you've ever been before, my God.
Speaker 1:And so God has ushered in a season. God has ushered in Let me slow down. God has ushered in a season. God has ushered in a season, and we talked about it in our previous series Divine Compensation. God has ushered in a season of divine compensation, where God is making up the loss. God is paying you back. God is mending what's been broken. God is restoring to you the years that have been wasted. My God, I hear the spirit of the Lord here in this episode Divine encounters. My God, an experience with God like you've never experienced before. Divine intervention. He's coming through, my God. God is coming through for you. He's coming through for your loved ones. He's coming through for you. There's breakthrough in the atmosphere. My God, I sense a breaking. I sense a breaking. I sense a freedom. My God, oh, my God, there's been a shift. We talked about that last week, that God has shifted you. God has shifted you. You're not at the same level. Come on, intercessor, we're not at the same level that we were before.
Speaker 1:My God but we're at new levels now. We're at new heights now, my God. And so we talked about the transformation, transformation, trans, being God taking us beyond limits and beyond barriers, the form, transformed form where God has really actually changed. We're different now. The structure of the way we think, the way we function, is different now. We're in a new place now, my God. So there's a transformation that has taken place. When we think about transitioning, we have transitioned. The transformation is a transition. Our position is different now because God has transitioned us. We have crossed over, we have crossed beyond, and I hear the Lord speaking.
Speaker 1:You can run through truth and leap over walls, because the power of God rests on the inside of you, my God. So there is no limit. We talked about it, we shared the word, we imparted and understand. When impartation come, it really come not to impart into you something that you don't know or something that's not already there. Impartation means it's activating the word, it's activating that life in you, activating that breakthrough in you, activating the gift and the talent, oh my God, and the purpose of God in you. And so there is no limit, people of God, there is no limit on your life, oh, my God. There's no limit. There's no limit on your life. Somebody ought to open up your mouth and say there's no limit, no limit.
Speaker 2:All I see is God surrounding me.
Speaker 1:And so God's limitless ability, understand, hear me, god's limitless ability has the ability and the power to do, to perform, to bring to pass, oh my God, to do exceedingly, abundantly, more than you could ever imagine, that you've ever dreamed of, than you've ever thought of, oh my God. And so understand that elevation, come on. Somebody ought to say elevation, elevation. My elevation is now my elevation is on the way. God is lifting me above my trouble. He's lifting me above the circumstance. He's lifting me, my God, I feel a shift. I feel the wind of God blowing in this studio. I feel the wind of God blowing in the atmosphere, my God, I hear a word even coming to those of you, our listeners, who are listening in the Philippines. I hear a word coming to you, my God. There's a shifting that's taking place. The glory of the Lord is surrounding you.
Speaker 1:To those of you who are in New Zealand, I hear God saying there's a lifting. I feel a sinking, my God, in the atmosphere where it seemed tight. It seemed like it wouldn't break. It seemed like God wasn't coming through. But there's a thinking, there's a breaking. God is moving by his spirit. God is moving by his spirit. Come on, intercessor, come on, oh my God Come on Hallelujah, hallelujah, yeah, bless God.
Speaker 2:There's definitely a shifting and a breaking of people of God. Catch the word when the prophecies go forth, when the word of God is being spoken, when the voice of the Lord is ministering, when there is a moving of the Holy Spirit, catch it, catch it, catch it, catch it, catch it. There has definitely been a shifting, there's definitely been a breaking. Amen, a lot of times when, when you know when the move of God is is happening, you know we, we, the people of God, we got to get hold of it. We have to take hold of that word. We have to take hold, grasp that word. We have to hold unto that word. Right, that word is our seed. We got to take hold of that seed. We got to take hold of that seed and we have to water that seed. We water that word, we water that seed with our faith. We have to take hold of it. When we do that, my God, the Lord, then will rain down Amen, and there will be the manifestation of that promise, the manifestation of that word that we have taken hold of. There is death. There has definitely been a shifting, a shifting yesterday when I was on lunch Amen, I felt that even before I went to lunch I had a time of intercession, just praying right there on my job, and I felt the move of God in the spirit. It was like a breaking taking place in the spirit. There was a breaking that took place in the spirit Again. There has been a shift. There's been some things that have broken people of God, those who did not throw in the tile. You are at a new place in life right now. You have been upgraded spiritually, hear me. You have been upgraded spiritually. What does that mean? That means things are not going to be the same. There's been a breaking. The enemy that you saw yesterday on the other level, you're not going to see on this level. I'm going to say that again. The enemy that you saw yesterday on that other level, you're not going to see on this level. I'm going to say that again.
Speaker 2:The enemy that you saw yesterday on that other level, you're not going to see on this level. The Bible says the enemy will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The devil has fled before you, amen. Because you did not give up on God. You took God at his word. So God has stepped in and he has shifted, he has changed some things in your life. This is why you feel different. You may not necessarily have seen the manifestation in the natural, but you are feeling something different. Why? Because it has taken place in the spiritual and you have been shifted spiritually from glory to glory. You have been upgraded.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, yes, from glory to glory. You've been upgraded. You've been upgraded, you've reached your turning point. My God, intercessor, we have reached a turning point. You can handle the pressure. Raise your level of expectation.
Speaker 1:And when we look at due season, due season, those two words is idios. In ancient Greek, it's idios kairos, idios kairos, meaning that idios kairos means that it is the perfect time. It is your time, it's your own, it's one's own, it's your own time. This is your moment. You can own this moment. Come on, you can possess this moment as your own. This is your time, it's your own time. In ancient Greek, that's what do season means it's one's own.
Speaker 1:Own the moment, own the moment. Own the moment. This is your moment, this is your moment. Receive it, my God, receive it. Allow God to lift you. Don't resist, don't resist. Allow God to lift you. This is your moment, this is your time, the time is right. The time is right for you. Why? Because you deserve. You've been waiting. Your reward has drawn nigh. My God, he said I'll reward you. My God, this is your harvest time, oh, my God, and I will lift you, I will exalt you as you remain humble and faithful and committed and trust. Oh, my God, the work that I'm doing in your life, the work that I'm doing in the life of your loved ones. Trust me and I'll stretch you, my God, and lift you and exalt you. Upgrade, upgrade is now. You have anything else in your successor?
Speaker 2:Own your moment, people of God. Own your moment. This is your time, this is your season. Own your moment. You have been upgraded.
Speaker 1:Amen, peace be to you, peace be to your house and peace be to all you.
