Step Into Your New Season by Joshua & Janet Mills
1, Gratitude : Shift past season with gratitude
感謝は選択です。状況が悪く見えても感謝する。神様の素晴らしい計画が開くから。
過去の経験から学ぶと、痛みのサイクルを回避することができる。良いものを新しいシーズンに持って行くことができる。
状況を変えようと自分の力でやろうとすると、めっちゃ時間がかかる。
2, Pray for the Spirit's guidance
Seek the Holy Spirit's directions for the new season. Do not make any majer changes until you receive instructions from the Holy Spirit.
たくさんの人達が、神様より先に計画を立てて「良い事だから、頭の良い誰かが言ったから、良いアイディアだ」と言って行動して失敗した。助言は感謝だけど、例えすごい先生が知恵の詰まったアドバイスをくれたとしても、あなたには聖霊様があなたの人生をこう歩んで欲しいという人生を歩む責任がある唯一の人。
絶対絶対、先走って決断しないで。シークレットプレイスで神様の所に持って行って聖霊様から「やるべき事」と「やるべきでない事」を受け取るまで決断しない動かない。
聖霊様の臨在があなたの心に語るから。預言的な言葉や何かで語ってくれて、平安が来るから。
平安が来るまで動かない！
Because where God leads you He will give you peace.
先走らず、遅れず、主の臨済の栄光の雲の中にとどまり、主が動くとき動き、主がする時にする。それだけ。聖霊様がガイドして導かれる時に前へ進む。聖霊様の知恵と主のタイミングを求める。
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5)
Don't hegitate to ask for an advice or mentership withdam from seasoned believers. 聖霊に満たされた信頼できる聖霊様から聞くことができ実を結んでいる信仰の先輩からのアドバイスと知恵やメンターを求めることをためらわない。(箴言参照)
3, Release what no longer serves you 益にならない関係を断ち切る
え!?意地悪に聞こえるかもしれないが、新しいシーズンは古いシーズンとは全く違う。Let go habits, relationship, thoughts what not beneficial. You need to cut off ungodly soul tie from your past season. 前シーズンの益にならない関係、悪い癖を断ち切る。なぜならこれらが新しいシーズンであなたの足を引っ張る。
Do not stay connected with them. If God release you from it, but you stay connected to it, it's against God's will.
神様の御心でない霊の結びつきを断ち切ることは重要。神様に何がungodly soul tieか聞いて断ち切る。ある人々は「過去にあの人はよくしてくれたから、恩知らずになりたくないから、忠実でありたいから」など言うが、神様があなたをその人からリリースしたのに繋がり続けるのは神様の御心に反抗することになる。
It's ok to create boundaries. God set boundaries.
あなたを傷つけ悪口言い、あなたの神様の召しについて否定的な事を言う人はあなたの近くや仲間に居るべきではない。彼らを愛するけれど、これまでと同じアクセスの権限を与えない。Set boundary. It's kind of spiritual safty.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17) Old has gone
4, Set clear goals: understanding your Divine purpose

1. Reflect on the Past Season with Gratitude
Focus on what you are thankful for in your life. Practicing gratitude can shift your perspective and help you find joy in the transition. Take time to reflect on what you’ve experienced in the past season. Evaluate important lessons learned and how they can inform your next steps. If we learn from the mistakes of the past, we won’t need to repeat the pain over and over again. Acknowledge that change is a natural part of life. Open yourself up to new possibilities and expe- riences ahead. “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup” (1 Corinthians 11:28, NKJV).
2. Pray for the Spirit’s Guidance
Seek the Holy Spirit’s direction for the new season ahead. Do not make any major changes until you’ve received instructions from the Lord. Also, don’t hesitate
To everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. — Ecclesiastes 3:1, ESV
to ask for advice or mentorship from those who are seasoned believers (see Proverbs 11:14, 15:22, 19:20-21). “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5, NKJV).
3. Release What No Longer Serves You
Let go of habits, relationships, or thoughts that are not beneficial. You may need to cut ungodly soul-ties from the past season. It may also be necessary to create new boundaries as you prepare to launch into new territory. The level of access should always be determined by the level of trust. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
4. Set Clear Goals
Understand your divine purpose and what needs to be achieved in the new season. This will help you de-clutter and define what’s needed for the vision ahead. Establish both short-term (daily to-do list, weekly, monthly and yearly goals) and long-term goals (five-year, ten-year, and thirty-year plans). “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:2).
5. Be Flexible and Embrace Change
New seasons come with new opportunities and new challenges. Be prepared to adapt your plans as circumstances change. Flexibility can help you navigate unexpected challenges. Be open to new connections, new ideas, new experiences, and new growth. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).
6. Determine to Go Forward with God!
Regardless of what it may feel like, the Holy Spirit is leading you forward. It’s onward and upward. Stay heaven-focused, with your eyes set on Christ as the Author and Finisher of your faith. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, MEV).
7. Seek Connection
A major mistake some make in shifting seasons is immediately cutting off and leaving behind all past relationships from the last season. Surround yourself with friends, family, or other believers who can offer encouragement and support during your transition. It is essential to also find new connections and develop new relationships with those who are heading in the same direction. Networking and building a bigger community around you is key. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24, NIV).
8. Invest in Personal Growth and Self-Care
Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being during this time. Engage in activities that nourish your spirit. Commit to learning and develop- ing new skills. Take time to care for yourself so that you can properly care for others. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52).
9. Release the Angels Ahead of You!
Activate the angels on divine assignment to move ahead of you, to supernatu- rally prepare the way and pave the road with glory before you. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
10. Take Action
Start taking small steps toward your goals. Even minor actions can create mo- mentum. Small steps in the beginning lead to greater discoveries along the way. Sowing financial seed into your future is one way that you can begin taking action. Picking up the phone and making some calls or going for a drive to “scout out the land” are also ways you can begin taking first steps. “Behold, I am do- ing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19).
