We are all in a season of transition. This could mean major life changes, or simply the passing from Summer into Autumn. The Hebrew New Year, 5784, a year of open doors, also began this week.
TRANSITION is a phase where something ENDS in your life so that something new BEGINS. It is the journey of getting your head and heart wrapped around a new reality. “Transition” is a process. “Change” is an event. You get born again in a moment, but are in transition as you get your thoughts in line with God’s. You get married in a moment, you spend years in transition becoming the best husband or wife.
During transition you may need to fight a spiritual battle. The battle you are fighting may not be against the circumstances you are in. You might be encountering the spirit that occupies the house that you are about to occupy. As you are going to dispossess the current inhabitants, he seeks to dispossess you. He knows who you are and sees you coming!
The Strong Man that Jesus confronted met Christ in the wilderness on His way into the territory. Jesus' future territory would include the whole world so he met the “Prince of this world.”
You can judge your upcoming promotion by the size of the opposition that tries to stop you. This is why it’s always a good idea to be advancing in your assigned territory. You have authority in THAT area more than any other and the enemy activity is illegal. You can bust it up.
You don’t win in the Roman arena, you win before you get to the arena, Lesson? You don’t bind the strong man when you show up in his territory; you bind the strong man before you get there.
It seems as though my team and I have been in transition for quite some time as we have followed the voice of the Lord for the ministry and have seen His favor and faithfulness through it all. We appreciate your faithfulness as well to sow into this mission, intercede on our behalf, and stand with us through the spiritual battles and victories alike. Would you consider partnering with us again? If you would like to give, here is the link: lancewallnau.com/transition. Your support and encouragement through the years has made all the difference!
For some, “transition” means that you are engaging spiritual forces that occupy territory you are about to take. At times you will be advancing into a “strong man's house” and hardly realize it. Why the resistance? Because once you overcome, you will be “in the house” dispersing resources. You have a signature sound—a sound unique to you—nobody else has your sound. Your voice and revelation has authority.
When you utter what God says in the sphere you are called to, you demonstrate the unique signature expression of God. The atmosphere shifts.
When Joshua was told to go forward he was commanded, “Every place the sole of your foot treads that I have already given you.” (Joshua 1:3) Where you go is already given. Curious. God engrafts your territory into the thing He gave Himself. Where you “will go.” FUTURE. He has already given you the places you will occupy.
Thank you.

MY Forty acres and a Mule .
I agree with you completely in the spirit.
I believe in Mark 11:23, 24.
It’s my Time. It’s my Season.
Excellent word!
I thought my husband and I were getting ready to cross the Jordan to possess our promised land. Instead God took him home and left me to cross alone into the new territory that seems full of giants. This season of the new year is especially touching since it is a season of open doors. God has made a way for me to walk through the open door to a brand new world but alone. Only He will show me where to go and what to do as I navigate this new world.
May our Lord be your ever present help in all circumstances. Your post touched me…I too am crossing into new territory alone. My husband passed away 9 months ago. We will walk on, holding His hand.
