Transition - living life in the middle.

In this week's episode God wants to emphasise to us the role we play in our transition , and He doesn't want us getting stuck there. God wants us to understand that we determine how long the transition takes.

Happy Monday, everyone. Happy new day, happy new week. Welcome to the I'm Saved Now What podcast. I am Jaavonne Taylor. If this is your first time listening, welcome. I'm so so so excited to have you here. And if you are returning, if you are coming back, and if you are a part of the I Am Saved Now What family, welcome back. I am so excited, guys. I'm so excited to have you here. Can you believe that we are already in July? Like, wow, this is the seventh month of 2026. Like, this year is moving full speed ahead. And if you haven't caught that revelation, I implore you to catch it now because this year is not waiting on anyone. Can you also believe that this is episode eight? Episode eight. So outside of the prelude, this is our official episode eight. Like, look at God. Like, wow. When I started this podcast, I had no idea what to expect, but God has been so faithful. And y'all was doing 10 official episodes, so don't get me wrong, I knew that, but I did not know how they would unfold. And I would not know that within the span of eight, nine, nine weeks, right? Within the span of nine weeks, this podcast would have been downloaded in 21 countries. 21. Like, wow. Look at God's goodness. And I have to give God all the glory, all the honor, all the praise. Because without him, this podcast would not be possible. And without him, this podcast would not move across the earth. You see, God talks about the gospel of Jesus Christ reaching to the far corners of the earth. And so I am so happy to see that through my obedience, the Lord is playing this out in real time. And I'm grateful to him. And I am grateful to each and every one of you who listen, who share, who leave feedback. You know, I am really, really, really grateful. And I'm happy that we are on this journey together. So last week's episode, we spoke about letting go of your past and why it was important for us to forget the former things and not dwell on the past. Not to live in the seasons that have passed, but instead to look ahead at the new things that God is doing. So I got a couple of reviews from friends and colleagues last week, and they told me thank you, and that they really needed to hear the episode when they did. And it meant a lot to me to know that my obedience to God was having direct impact in the lives of others. You know, sometimes we are obeying, but we don't recognize or we don't see it in real time. But God gave me a glimpse into what my obedience was doing in the lives of others, and I was really grateful for that. I will say this though. You know, as you work on releasing the past and letting it go, there may be moments in your present when the past tries to impose itself on you. Whether it's a narrative, a person, an opportunity, whatever it is, the past will try it to come and hijack your present or your future. So for me, let me just give you a little glimpse into what happened in my life last week, right? So last week I had to get some transcripts from my undergraduate program. So my mom collected them for me and I asked her, hey, can you just scan me the results? Because I need to send them somewhere. And when I opened the undergraduate transcript, the amount of C's that I saw on that thing, it sent me into a slight state of panic and confusion. Like for a moment, I started to question all of who I was and started to almost crumble mentally because I started to feel like an imposter in my current life. Like for a moment, I started to believe the results on the page defined me instead of remembering that I am who God says I am. But thankfully, God used one of my really good friends to get me back into position and to release the former things of the past. I can't change the grades, they're pretty much set in stone. But regardless of what the grades were, God rewrote my script. So the C's that I got in undergraduate, in my undergraduate studies, don't define me today. They don't. They are part of the story, they are part of the journey. But God turned around the C's because that was my undergraduate degree, and I will tell you when I graduated from law school in my final year, I had four A's and one B. So the C's from undergraduate, but law school, God redeemed that. But you see, me now, I was so focused on that. Like it kind of just threw me off board. But again, the Lord reminded me forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. Anyways, let's move on from this and get into this week's episode. We are talking about transition, living life in the middle, away from your past, but not yet in your future. There's like no highlighted scripture for this week per se, but we're gonna focus on the children of Israel and their 40-year journey in the wilderness from Egypt to the promised land. So, you know that's gonna touch Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. But guys, I won't be going through all the books. You guys can go and read and study them on your own, so no need to get scared. But we can't talk about transitions without really looking at the first transition. I call it the first transition anyway. The major transition we see in the Bible. The move from the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt towards the promised land. What I know God wants me to highlight in this episode is this He says, don't get stuck in transition. Transition is meant to be a temporary passage, not a permanent place of residence. But you, through your actions or your inactions, determine how long the transition will take. That is what God wants me to emphasize today. Don't get stuck in the transition. According to the Miriam Webston Dictionary, transition is the process, period, or act of changing from one state, stage, subject, or form to another. It represents a shift or passage, bridging the gap between an old condition and a new one. For our context here, a transition bridges the gap between the old life and the new life, the old identity and the new identity, between the old season and the new season. I'm sure you get the point, right? So it is the place of the in-between. It's the middle. But the place is at random, and there is purpose behind it, and that's what we are going to look at today. The purpose in the transition. So after salvation, and you come into your journey in Jesus, and God gives you some revelations, and maybe even some prophecies are disclosed, and some promises are given to you. New slash, you don't just automatically step into this new thing. God first puts you through transition. So we accept that the old you and the new you aren't the same, right? We accept this. So if we accept this, why do you think God would send the old you into the promise? The old you, right? Because remember, pre-salvation, you recognize that there was something off. You recognize that there was something in your life that needed to be restored. You couldn't quite put your hand on it, but you knew that there was something that was missing. And so you said yes to Jesus. And when you said yes to Jesus, the door opened and your life started. Your new life started, right? You got access and reconnected to the source of life. And so now this new life is going to begin. But all the inheritance and the blessings and the promises that the Lord has for you, you don't see all of it at once. And transition is meant to prepare you for your promised land and your inheritance so that you don't forfeit it, so that you don't, you know, destroy what it is that is supposed to bless you and your generations. So the old you with the old mindset and behavior and the old language and the old identity, those things cannot possess the promise. There is some restorative work that has to be done first. The transition represents this period, like this break. Right? It represents a break from the old way and an introduction into doing things God's way. A place where you're moving from carrying the load on your own and being carried by God, from doing the things the world's way into doing the things God's way. And let me tell you guys, transition is so critical. It is essential. God is not spiting you by not giving you what he promised immediately, he's not spiting you, he knows you're not yet ready to handle it, and because of his love and his grace and his mercy, he's giving you a period to prepare. So in 2023, I was studying Moses. So it's the first life group I ever joined, and it was studying the study was on Moses, the journey to freedom. So, of course, you know, it would have spoken about the Israelites and their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. And initially, when I started this study, I was like, God, what more can I learn about Moses? Like I've been hearing about Moses since I was a child. But guess what? The Lord quickly had me put my foot in my mouth and silence me because there was so much to unpack and there was so much revelation that I got. And a part of the revelation I got was when we were talking about the amount of time it took the Israelites to move from Egypt into Canaan, right? Canaan is the name for the promised land. So if you look at the map, by foot, that journey could have taken two weeks. That journey from Egypt to Canaan could have taken two weeks. But we know from reading the scripture that this journey took 40 years. And I was like, I was really perplexed. I said, God, why? Why would something that take that was supposed to take two weeks take them 40 years? And at the time, this is the answer that the Lord gave to me. He says, the longer you are exposed to corruption, is the longer it will take for me to get it out of you. And I sat down for a while. I said, huh? But then the Lord reminded me, remember, the Israelites were in bondage for 460 years in Egypt, thereabouts, right? So the corruption he's talking about is the mentality of the Egyptian system and the corrupt ways and the corrupt practices. So while God is explaining that and I'm hearing these words and I'm, you know, I'm meditating on these words, so to speak, there's an image that appears to me. And the image is of a rusty coin. And what I started to look at on the coin was that initially, when the coin started up, and you know, you could rush it, you could rub out this the rust with like steel wool or a wooden brush, that kind of thing, right? But if that coin is immersed and left in this corrupted state for a very long time, it becomes corroded, right? Corrosion takes over the coin and it becomes overburdened with the rust. And the process to remove the rust from the coin becomes harder. And some of us may say it's impossible. So that's the imagery that the Lord used for me. He was saying, Look, these are my people, they're valuable, they're my chosen people, but they were in bondage for a very long time. So their ways of thinking and their ways of operating really and truly, they weren't ready to possess it. So they were ready to leave. So they were ready to exit Egypt. So that's why they come, they came out, but they were not yet ready to possess it. And so the transition was to represent that period of preparation to get them ready for the promise. The coin analogy also taught me something else as well. It showed me that God looked beyond the external and he saw the value of what was beneath it. He knew that yes, they were in a corrupt system and they had a corrupt mentality, but he saw what was beyond the corruption and he saw the value in the Israelites. He saw that and he wanted to restore and to redeem them. So you see, some people might have said, oh, just leave them there, it's not worth the trouble. But the Lord said, No, I'm getting them out, and in the process of getting them out, I'm getting them through, because I am giving them a promised land. What is so good to me about this is that no matter how badly corrupted and messed up you appear, God loves you and God will give you the opportunity for redemption, but you have to take it. You have to take up the Lord on his opportunity. It's one thing to say yes and receive salvation, but what you do with the salvation is ultimately up to you. And the journey of the children of Israel from Egypt into the promised land or towards the promised land shows you exactly what we are supposed to do and not do as we journey towards our promised inheritance in God. As I said earlier, you don't come out of 460 years of slavery and suddenly adapt to freedom. Freedom is unfamiliar territory. And we know unfamiliarity makes many of us afraid, anxious. Some of us even freeze. We don't even know what to do, right? For persons who were kidnapped and, you know, they get freedom, they have what they call it again. I think it's Stockholm Syndrome. They talk about that period where the victim actually desires to return to the kidnapper, right? Because what you've put them in is on familiar territory. I've even watched documentaries about criminals. You know, they were in prison for 40 years. They had, you know, life imprisonment sentences, 35 years, 40 years. And a lot of them, when they come out, they're like, what is this? They're so unaccustomed to what this freedom looks like that they do something to real faint to get back inside, or some of them die or whatever, because they just this that you've exposed me to, they have no idea what it is, and it overwhelms them. So God knew that the Israelites would have been overwhelmed and overstimulated by this new thing. And so instead of sending them on the shorter journey initially, He He sent them on a different path. Because he was trying to prepare them for their promise, and he was also trying to protect them from attackers. The shorter route could have gotten them from Egypt to Canaan in 11 days, the shortest route, but along the shortest route, there would have been attackers, and the Lord knew that they were not yet ready to face these people. So the Lord took them on another route, and he took them up to Mount Sinai. Now, guys, forgive me for not giving you all the exact pit stocks along the way. Like I said, please to go and read the scriptures, it's all there, right? So he takes them on the longer route. We could argue, well, I will say we could argue that perhaps God's intention for this transition was that it could have taken a couple of months, right? Probably four months, five months, six months. It could have taken them that time. Clearly, he didn't want them to go the short way because the short way would have taken 11 days to two weeks. But the Lord is saying, nah, let me give them a won't time. So the Lord intended this transition to be longer than the shorter period. He wanted them to experience something new. And in the midst of this, remember, God also wanted to give them the commandments to live their new life. So when they exited Egypt, they didn't have commandments. And so when they are in this transition, in this journey, the Lord is processing them, He is showing them a good life, He's giving them manna from heaven, He's just, you know, He's with them, He's literally there in the cloud, He is walking with them, right? He is with them, and the Lord is giving them commandments to equip them to move into the future, into the promise. He said, Yeah, I'm gonna show you how this is going to work. But instead of taking this couple of months, it took 40 years, 40 years because of disbelief, rebellion, and resistance. Can you imagine the Israelites, they would have seen miracles, signs, and wonders. And this is not just during the transition, you know, but even before they left Egypt, they would have started to see signs and wonders. Remember the plagues. Remember, they weren't they were very much present when these plagues were were happening. Like they they saw these things, they saw the signs from in Egypt, and then they come out of Egypt, and God is doing miraculous things. God splits the Red Sea, He drowns their enemies, He gives them manna from heaven, He He did so many things for them, and yet they murmured, they complained, they became rebellious, they built a golden calf, they came against God's appointed leaders, and they allowed fear to cripple them in the process of transition. I think one of the worst things they actually did too was complain that the Lord should have referred them in Egypt, that they were better off in bondage. Can you believe that? Like, how ungrateful is that? And that particular response came after God instructed Moses and Aaron to send some men to spy out the promised land. God says, okay, God is saying to them, I'm telling you about this land flowing with milk and honey. I'm telling you all about it, but I don't just want to tell you about it. I want you to see it. So send some people ahead to spy it out, to tell, to come back and give you a report. Because God already knows what it looks like, but God wants you to know what He has for you so that you can, you know, get into alignment and get into position and get yourself ready for what the Lord has in store. But boy. So these 12 men went to spy out the land and they explored the land for 40 days. And when the 12 came back, 10 came back and gave reports that were from a perspective of fear. The perspective that the 10 came with, it was so limited and restricted. Like yes, they said, Oh, you know, it's a good land, it has milk and honey, yada yada. But there are giants there, and people are this and that, the cities are fortified, and it was just like negative, negative, negative, negative, negative. Only Caleb and Joshua had a positive report. Even though the the the land confirmed what the Lord was saying, the report confirmed what God was saying that it was a land flowing with milk and honey, it was a land of abundance, it was all of that. I think subconsciously, maybe they didn't expect that. The land would have been inhabited. That's what I'm thinking. Maybe they thought that the Lord was going to send them in there and they would have had Eden part two. Like where it's just them and they're basking in bliss. I don't know, but that's my assumption. Because it's like the moment they heard that there were people in the land and they were giants, they got so afraid and so panicked, and they're like, Yeah, let's go back to Egypt. We're better off. You're saying it was better off to be in bondage, to be in slavery, to be in the state before you were in the presence of God than to be with God. And for those of you who know the story, know that God did not respond kindly to those words. God did not respond kindly to that at all. The Lord was deeply hurt. The Lord was hurt. And if you look in Numbers of 14, you will actually see God's expression of his hurt. Caleb and Joshua came back and they were saying, guys, yeah, there's people there you know, but we can possess it. We can take this like God has promised this to us. If God promised this to us, it is ours, it is ours to possess, it is ours. But they couldn't see it like that. The Israelites could not see it. They couldn't see it. They heard what Joshua said, they heard what Caleb said, but they could not believe it. And because they couldn't believe it, because they couldn't wrap their minds around it, because in the transition, they were not changing their mindsets and shifting their mindsets because they were only looking at themselves as victims and not victors. They got stuck. They got stuck. You do realize that none of the adults, that's persons 20 years and older, that left Egypt made it into Canaan. They got stuck in transition. The mentality that they had was so limited. It was so limited, it was so restrictive that notwithstanding the fact that God was doing a new thing, God was literally with them every day. God was there, the presence of the Lord was there. They were seeing manna, they were seeing all sorts of miracles in their presence, and yet still they could not see what God was doing. They couldn't see themselves, how God saw them, they couldn't see themselves beyond, they were focused on the past. All they saw themselves as was as victims. That's what they saw themselves as. So even though God gave them a promise and they were hoping for the promise, and even though they saw the hand of God at work, moving them out of bondage into freedom, they couldn't even grasp what freedom was, they could not understand it. So the Lord speaks to Moses in Numbers 40. In Numbers 14, 21 to 23, and he says this nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth, not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times, not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. Moses had to go into some deep advocacy. Moses had to jump in and intercede and say, God, no man, no man, come, come, Lord. I know you're vexed, but please, Lord, please, please, please. Like he had to plead for them. Moses had to plead for these people. And so while Moses is pleading, the Lord is hearing Moses and the Lord is saying, All right, fine. But he says this in verses 29 to 35. He says, In the wilderness, the bodies of the complaining ones were far. Every one of you, 20 years or more, who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me, not one of you will enter the land I swore with uprifted hand to make your home, except Caleb, son of Jephane, and Joshua, son of Nun. As for your children, that you said should be taken as would be taken as plunder, I will bring them into the I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness. Your children will be shepherds here for 40 years, suffering for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. For 40 years, one year for each of the 40 days you explored the land, you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness. Here they will die. It's a very sobering message. It's sobering. But let me tell you, if your faith does not rise in your season of transition, you are going to be in problems. You are going to get stuck here. You are going to get stuck here. God is not going to move you into the promise just because. God help us, God help us. And God comes on the scene and God helps them. And God delivers them. And after God delivers them and God starts to treat them well, because you see, God is also so good. He's not waiting until you get into the promised land to allow you to taste some of the promise, you know. He's not waiting for you to reach the final destination before you eat of his hand. No, along the way, along the journey, God is revealing more of himself to you and he's showing you him as provider. He's showing you different elements of him on the way. But some of us get stuck right there. God has called us into a new season. God has called us into something else to birth a new business. He has called us to step away from an old job into a new job. And some of us are getting stuck in transition because we're allowing fear to cripple us, because we are allowing our old self to come back and to whisper and tell us that we are not good enough for this new thing that the Lord has said. And we are allowing old language to be the language of the day. And the Lord cannot risk sending you into the promise with that mentality, with that mindset. So listen, if you don't get with it, it's gonna be a problem. If you don't get with it, you're gonna get stuck in transition. Because you see, another thing that happens when we are in transition, you know, unless we surrender and submit to God, we are going to end up blaming God for what we are supposed to be releasing. We will end up blaming God for us being stuck. How many of us listening to this know that the Lord has told us to let go of something and put something down or to change the way that we think or we see things? Too many of us are seeing ourselves as victims. Yes, you escaped something, but that vic that that situation is going to be the testimony and the platform that the Lord uses to propel you in the next season. But you don't get from being a victim to being a victor without going through the transition period because transition prepares you. Transition prepares your heart to be able to open your mouth and not shed a tear when you are giving that testimony. Transition prepares you to know what you did in your past that was cringeworthy and messy and nasty, but to be able to stand on a stage and encourage thousands of women and men that listen, I was here, but God did this for me. That is what transition does. But if you don't successfully get through transition, you're gonna be stuck. Because what God revealed to me as well is that you, the onus is on you, how long your transition takes. The onus is on you. You're gonna keep cycling back, cycling back around that thing until you pass the test. Because until you pass that test, you are not going to matriculate. It's just like in school when tests come, and if you keep failing, if you keep failing, what is the point of me advancing you? In my country, there are some schools that, regardless of whether or not the students are passing, they're sending them forward. Why? They're not ready to move and they're just looking at their aging and they're saying, oh, they're aging up. But age does not mean you have passed anything. So many of us are in this Christian faith so long, and we have not passed our or or wilderness test yet. God has told you to release something from from from the bondage days, and you are still walking with it, and you're 30, 20, 40, 50 years a Christian. And God is saying, uh-uh. You want me to release you to go and go and start a business. You want me to put you on a pulpit, but you have not yet healed from the abuse that that father gave to you as a child. You have not healed from the betrayal. You have not healed. You still look at yourself as small, you still look at yourself as insignificant and as inadequate. You want the millions, but the moment you see a sale, all you are doing is spending the little hundreds of dollars that you have because you have a scarcity mindset. You want to bypass the transition, but God is saying you cannot bypass the transition. The transition is fundamental for you to understand what you're going into. It is a fundamental part for you to possess the land. You cannot possess what you don't believe you own. And your mindset has to shift, your mentality has to shift, you have to change, you have to change, your language has to change, your posture has to change, and transition, this wilderness season, this transition period that is the purpose of it. Do not die in the wilderness, do not end up in the wilderness for 40 years because of rebellion. Do not end up in the wilderness for 40 years because of unbelief. God does not need to prove himself to us, but he does it anyway. Salvation is the starting point. Salvation is where it begins, not where it ends. The children of Israel received salvation when they were delivered from Egypt. And they were in the middle, they were in the naw what. They were in the middle, they were in between where they were coming from, but not yet in the promised land. Not yet in the promised land. And many of them missed the promised land because they got stuck in transition. You need to get unstuck. You need to get unstuck. It is to show you one that God is good and faithful. For some of us, transition is to give us rest because all we've ever known was work, work, work, work, work, work, work. And God is saying, nah, before I send you out into this new thing, I need you to take some time off. Some of us, that's what transition looks like. Transition looks like a break. For those of some of us, transition looks like a step back. For some of us, transition looks like stripping, that God is taking off the layers. Some of us, the Lord is saying, shed this. Moving from a location to another is a part of the transition. But just because you're physically in a new place doesn't mean that the transition has ended. You've gotten into this new thing. You've gotten into this new place, but have you possessed what God has called you to possess? And don't think I'm just talking to you here. I'm talking to myself. Because this word is not just for you, but it's for me too. God doesn't want any of us getting stuck in transition. He wants us to pass the test. He says, prepare to pass. And a part of this transition is that we need to believe that God, what God says about us is true. We need to believe that we are the head and not the tail, that we are lenders and not borrowers, that we are above and not beneath. And whatever was prophesied over your life, the Lord has shown you a glimpse into the future. But don't think that glimpse into the future is automatic. Because if you do not put yourself in alignment with that prophecy, that prophecy is not going to come to pass. You have to align yourself with the prophecy. You have to believe what God says. You have to believe. God is a miraculous God, is a miracle-working God. Yes. But you have to partner with God. You have to partner with his revelation. You have to partner with his promise. You have to partner with him. Do not get stuck in your transition. Don't get stuck. Don't get stuck. And that's all I keep hearing in my spirit. Don't get stuck. Don't get stuck. If you need help in the transition, call out to the Lord. Call out to Jesus. God wants to help you in the transition. He wants to redeem you. He wants to get you out of the middle passage into your final destination. He doesn't want you to stay in the in-between. The in-between was never meant to be your final resting place. God wants you to inherit the promised land. But he wants you to first pass through the transition and pass the tests in the transition. God wants us to take this space. He wants us to get to know him in the transition. And the transition I'm referring to particularly is the transition between being saved and being commissioned. There is that aspect. There's also the transition between seasons. Because some of us have been saved, but God is changing the trajectory of your life. You operated in one office, but now he's shifting you into something else. And he wants you to segue into this new thing. And it's weird for you. And it's it's uncharted territory, and you don't know what it entails. But God wants you to use the transition, the in-between. He wants you to use it for him to show you how he wants you to operate in this next season. I don't want you to forget this, and I will say it as many times as I'm led. The middle is not your permanent place of residence. The middle is not your permanent place of residence. It is a passage you're passing through. In order to pass through, you must first pass. Right? You must pass. So whatever tests are thrown at you in the middle, pass them. Whatever is being thrown at you, pass them. Whatever God is asking you to release, let it go. What God is saying about you, believe it. Stop looking back. Don't look back with this very narrow mindset, deluding yourself and telling yourself, oh, you were better off in bondage because you were not better off. In bondage, you are hollering, you are bawling, you are crying. And yes, let's be real. In the transition, you're right. You are going to be crying too. You're gonna be crying because letting go of yourself is hard. Letting go of yourself is hard. But God says, Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for his sake will save it. And the transition period is for us to let go of our lives, to let go of the old and and make space to welcome the new. Before I go, you know, I'm going to pray. Most righteous and heavenly Father, Lord, I want to thank you for bringing us to the end of another episode. God, it has been so good to sit down and to record this session. God, thank you for opening the eyes of my understanding and for connecting the dots throughout this entire episode. Lord, you taught me as you as you prepared me to teach on this or to speak on this topic. God, you taught me. And I'm grateful, Lord, in the name of Jesus. I am so grateful. Lord, I pray for every son and every daughter, God, regardless of where they are in the world and where they are in their journey. God, for those particularly in their seasons of transition, God, I pray especially for them that they will not get stuck in the middle, Lord. That they will not get stuck, but instead, God, they will they will surrender and submit to what it is that you are telling them to do. Mighty God, they will release what it is that you're telling them to release, and God, they will grow in this transition season. So when they step into the promised land, God, they will possess the land that you have called them to inherit, Lord, in the name of Jesus. God, they will not be intimidated by the giants that may be there at the gates. Mighty God, they will not be intimidated, but they know who they are in you. And so, God, they will stand firm and strong and they are prepared for the battle ahead. Because God, if you said it, that's it. If this is their promise, God, then that's it. If you have prepared them for this battle, then God, by all means, they are prepared to walk into all of what you've said. They are to walk into in the name of Jesus, God. We will not have anyone who listens to this podcast be stuck in transition. Mighty God, they will not be stuck, they will not die in transition, but instead, God, they will repent if they need to repent. And God, they will lace up their boots, they will put on their backpacks, and they will know that it's time to rise, it's time to move in the name of Jesus. God, they will not rebel, they will not murmur, they will not complain, mighty God, they will not blaspheme, they will not do anything. And God, for those, if they've already done this out of frustration, God, they will repent in the name of Jesus, Lord. I pray, oh Lord, for their hearts, Lord. I pray, oh Lord, for their hearts, mighty God. Some people's transition is a lot longer than they thought it would have been. God, some of them may not actually know what it is that they've done wrong. So, Lord, please open the eyes of their understanding and reveal to them what it is that they're getting wrong in this transition season. Mighty God, I believe more people want to see the promised land than ever before. I think more people want to possess the inheritance. They want to get what it is that you have for them. So, Lord, in the name of Jesus, I pray, oh Lord, that they would possess it in Jesus' name. I cover their minds, mighty God, in the name of Jesus. Mighty God, in the name of Jesus, I cover their minds, I cover their hearts, Lord. I cover their bank accounts, I cover them in the name of Jesus, I cover their families, Lord. God, I pray for them like never before. I pray for them in their going out and in their coming in. I pray for them in their jobs, I pray for them in their businesses, I pray for them, mighty God, as they do their respective ministries. I pray for them, mighty God, in whatever they are doing. But God, I decree and declare they will not be stuck in transition. But God, they will get what they need to get out of transition and move in the name of Jesus. Lord, I give you all the glory, I give you all the honor, I give you all the praise. I thank you, Father, for what you have done, what you are doing, and what you will continue to do. Mighty God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, we give you thanks, Father, both now and forevermore. Amen, amen, amen. Guys, we've come to the end of episode eight.

So until next week, I am Jaavonne Taylor, and you have been listening to I'm Saved Now What.
