Enough is Enough

Deuteronomy 2:1-3 


Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed Mount Seir many days. And the Lord spake unto me, saying, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.


Luke 21:26-28 


Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


Have you ever felt like you were going in circles? Have you ever said to yourself, "Enough is enough?" As I sat down to write this article today, the Lord has put a word in my heart: "Change."


You can't stop change. Change is inevitable. There are three ways to react to change: you can adjust to it and let it change you, resist it and let it make you bitter, or take charge of it and prosper.


The word that the Lord gave me today is, 'Enough is Enough!' You've been in this place long enough. You've been in this life-cycle, this situation, or this predicament long enough. You have compassed this mountain long enough; it's your season for change!


It may be your financial situation, a relationship, an issue with your health, or your spiritual life. It may be your walk with God, your experience with God, your ministry, your gift, your calling, or your Anointing - God says: 'It's Time for a Change!'


Are you ready for a change? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you fed up with your present situation? Are you prepared to break that cycle of debt? Are you ready to break that cycle of sickness and depression? Am I talking to anybody tired of going around the same old mountain of problems every day? The Lord told me to tell you, 'You've circled this mountain long enough.'


I don't know who I'm talking to, but somebody needs a turnaround, and you need it today; you need it right now. Somebody's facing a situation that seems impossible. I want to tell you today that we serve "the God of turnarounds." The Bible is a book of turnarounds. From Genesis to Revelation, we see God turning things around.


Your season is changing: you've been in a winter season, and it looked like everything was dying in you and around you, but it's a new season: a season of new beginnings; I prophesy New beginnings. Enough is Enough, It's Time for a Change!


Isaiah 43:18-19 


Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old, behold I will do a new thing (now it shall spring forth).


This Scripture tells us that God is doing something fresh and new, but the condition and requirement for receiving the new is to let go of the old. One of the greatest hindrances to your breakthrough is your memory. As humans, we tend to drag our past into our future. Friends, let me say this emphatically today! Listen to me; this is a key to victory; the only way you'll ever get to your promise is to let go of your past!


Some of you have missed your blessing because the chains of past disappointments, hurts, or wounds still bind you. It doesn't matter what they did to you, what they said or didn't say about you. It doesn't matter if they cheated on you, if they lied to you, if they stabbed you in the back, you need to let it go. It's Time for Change!


Some of you are caught up in tradition, how it used to be, that you can't even enjoy it when God moves differently. God is more significant than his last move. Let it go!


I'm reminded of the man in the Bible at the Pool of Bethesda, the place of blessing. He had undoubtedly seen many people get their blessings; he had seen many people get their deliverance, breakthroughs, healing, and miracles. No doubt the devil taunted, tormented him, and told him: 'You're never going to get healed.'


The devil is taunting some of you, too: 'You're never going to get out of debt, never going to get a good job, never going to start that business. You're never going to see your family saved, you're never going to step out in anointing, you're never going to have a successful ministry.' Today, friends, I want to tell you that the devil is a liar!


But one day, Jesus stood in front of him and asked him one question, "Wilt thou be made whole?" At that moment, there wasn't enough disease to keep him sick. There wasn't enough poverty to keep him broke. There weren't enough devils in hell to keep him bound. The only one who could keep him down was himself.


And I want to tell somebody today: You are the only one who can keep you from your blessing. You are the only one who can keep God's promise from coming to pass in your life. Will you let your season pass you by, or will you take charge and change your destiny through the power of the Holy Ghost?


Enough is Enough! It's Time for a Change!
