"When God Transform You: Understanding the Process of Elevation" |by DR. MYLES MUNROE|

ladies and gentlemen today I come with a message not just to encourage you but to awaken your spirit to recognize the signs of God's Divine hand upon your life there Comes A Time in every believer's Journey when God begins to shift the ground beneath their feet he whispers it's time to go higher but before he takes you there he reveals certain signs to prepare your heart and align your steps when God begins to elevate someone it is never never random or accidental he operates with intentionality guided by a Divine Purpose that surpasses human understanding every

elevation is a call to step into a greater responsibility a higher assignment that aligns with his Kingdom Agenda before he moves you to the next level God ensures you are prepared not just in skill but in character and vision this preparation phase can feel hidden Often unrecognized by others but it is vital because elevation without purpose leads to confusion and promotion without preparation leads to failure God begins this process by clarifying your purpose if you find yourself asking deeper questions about your life why am I here what am I meant to do this is the

first sign of his work in you these questions are not born out of curiosity they are a Divine stirring within your spirit God is aligning your heart with his plans because he knows that every level of prom emotion comes with a demand for purpose-driven Action you are not elevated for Applause or personal Glory you are elevated to fulfill an assignment this is why the process often feels slow or even frustrating God is not in a hurry because he is more interested in refining you than rushing you he takes the time to equip you with the

wisdom patience and humility necessary to sustain the weight of the next level when David was anointed to be king he did not immediately Ascend to the throne instead he spent years tending sheep and learning to lead in obscurity this was not a delay it was preparation God was teaching him how to Shepherd people by first shepherding flocks if you feel like you're stuck in a season of waiting don't despise it waiting is not wasted time it is preparation time God uses the waiting season to cultivate the fruits of the spirit within you patience kindness faithfulness

and self-control these qualities are essential for the next level because elevation without spiritual maturity can lead to Pride and a fall God knows what he is doing he is shaping your character to match the assignment he has prepared for you another key aspect of preparation is the development of vision before God elevates you he gives you a glimpse of where he is taking you this Vision may not come all at once but it will ignite a sense of purpose and Destiny within you it will challenge you to think bigger dream higher and trust God more

deeply the vision will not align with your current resources or circumstances because it is meant to stretch your faith if what you see in your spirit feels impossible that is a sign it is from God he is preparing you to rely on his power not your own this process of preparation also involves pruning just as a gardener trims a vine to make it more fruitful God removes the things in your life that would hinder your growth this might mean letting go of relationships habits or opportunities that no longer serve his purpose for you pruning is

painful but it is necessary God knows what you need to leave behind to thrive in the next season trust the pruning process because it is a sign that he is making room for New Growth during this time God also aligns you with Divine connections he sends people into your life who will Mentor you support you and sometimes challenge you to grow these connections are not accidental they are part of his plan to prepare you for elevation pay attention to the people who come into your life during this season some will pour into you while others

will demand more from you both are necessary for your development finally God test your faithfulness in the small things before he entrusts you with greater things he watches how you handle your current resp responsibilities even when they seem insignificant are you diligent with the little do you honor him in the Unseen moments these tests are not about performance they are about character God uses them to determine whether you are ready for the weight of the next level when you begin to see these signs in your life Clarity of purpose pruning New Vision Divine connections and

tests of faithfulness know that God is at work he is preparing you for something greater than you could imagine elevation is not about reaching a higher status it is about stepping into a higher purpose God is Not Just promoting you he is positioning you to be an instrument of his will on earth trust the process embrace the preparation and remain faithful God's timing is perfect and when he elevates you it will not only change your life but also impact the lives of those around you when God is preparing to elevate you he often leads you

through a season of pruning a time when things that once seemed essential are Stripped Away this process can feel unsettling even painful as you begin to lose relationships opportunities or comforts you once held dear but understand this pruning is not punishment it is preparation it is God's way of removing what no longer serves your destiny so that you can bear more fruit in the season to come pruning is a Divine strategy a Gardener prunes a tree not because the tree is unproductive but because it has the potential for greater productivity branches that drain energy limit

growth or no longer bear fruit are cut away to make room for new healthier branches in the same way God identifies areas in your life that may be holding you back from fully stepping into his purpose these might include habits mindsets or even relationships that while they served a purpose in the past season cannot accompany you to the next level this process often feels like loss but it is actually gain in Disguise when God removes something he is making room for something better if you've ever felt like things were being Stripped Away opportunities drying up

doors closing or people leaving your life it's not a sign that you've been abandoned it's a sign that God is preparing you for a season of abundance you must trust that what he takes away is not meant to harm you but to position you for greater fruitfulness during a pruning season you may also face challenges that test your character this is not by accident God allows certain situations to refine your faith shape your patience and develop your perseverance the heat of the fire does not destroy the gold it purifies it similarly the trials you face

in the season are not meant to break you but to refine you God is shaping you into the person who can carry the weight of the blessings he is about to release one of the most difficult aspects of pruning is letting go of people some relationships are seasonal they are meant to teach us challenge us or Comfort us for a specific time but when that time has passed holding on to them can hinder your progress this doesn't mean these individuals are bad or that you should Harbor resentment it simply means their role in your journey

has been fulfilled God Is Calling You Higher and not everyone is meant to climb with you another aspect of pruning is the reordering of priorities God often uses this season to shift your focus from what is good to what is best you may find that activities or commitments that once brought Joy now feel like distractions this is God's way of realigning your heart with his purpose he is teaching you to focus on the Eternal rather than the temporary to prioritize his will over your own desires pruning can also take the form of Silence there may

be moments when it feels like God is distant when his voice seems quiet and his presence feels faint but even in these moments he is at work the silence is not absence it is strategy God often uses quiet Seasons to deepen your trust in him teaching you to walk by faith and not by sight he is drawing you closer even when it feels like he is far away what makes the pruning season bearable is the promise that follows it the disc comfort of pruning is temporary but the fruit it produces is eternal God is not

just cutting away for the sake of cutting he is making room for growth he is preparing you to receive his abundance to walk in his fullness and to bear fruit that will impact not only your life but the lives of those around you so if you find yourself in a season where things seem to be falling apart shift your perspective this is not a season of loss it is a season of preparation trust the pruning process even when it feels painful know that God's hand is on your life carefully and intentionally shaping you for the

next level the fruit that comes after pruning will not only validate the process but will also exceed anything you could have imagined hold on stay faithful and Trust The Gardener he is preparing you for a harvest of abundance when God begins to move you to the next level one one of the clearest signs is a sense of uncommon restlessness this is not an ordinary discomfort born out of dissatisfaction or impatience it is a holy stirring deep within your spirit you begin to feel as though the place you are in physically emotionally or spiritually no longer

fits it's as if your spirit knows something greater is calling you even if your mind can't fully comprehend it yet this restlessness is divine it is God's way of signaling that your current season has served its purpose and it is time to prepare for what's next you may find that things that once brought you Joy or fulfillment no longer satisfy you the job that used to excite you now feels routine the relationships that once energized you may now seem out of sync with your spirit even your habits and routines begin to feel insufficient this isn't

because anything is wrong with these things it's because God is Shifting Your Capacity enlarging your vision and preparing your heart for more when this restlessness begins it often feels confusing you may question whether you are being ungrateful for what you have or whether you are failing to appreciate your current blessings but rest assured this discomfort is not a sign of discontentment it is a sign of divine movement God is disrupting your comfort zone because he knows that growth and elevation require change he is stirring the Waters of your life so that you won't settle for

less than his best one of the reasons this restlessness can feel so intense is that it challenges your sense of security humans naturally gravitate toward the familiar even when it no longer serves them the idea of stepping into the unknown can be intimidating but God is calling you to trust him in a deeper way he is using this holy discomfort to loosen your grip on the familiar so that you can embrace the new thing he is doing remember faith faith is not about staying where it's safe it's about stepping out where only God can sustain

you during this season you may find that your perspective begins to shift what once seemed acceptable or good enough no longer aligns with the vision God is placing in your heart you start to dream bigger to see possibilities you never considered before this is because God is enlarging your territory not just physically but spiritually and mentally he is giving you a glimpse of what is possible at the next level and your current environment starts to feel too small for the vision he has placed within you this restlessness often leads to a Hunger for More Of

God you find yourself yearning for deeper intimacy with him a clearer understanding of his word and a greater alignment with his purpose this spiritual hunger is a sign that he is drawing you closer preparing your heart for the elevation to come when you lean into this hunger seeking him with all your heart you begin to discover the direction and Clarity you need for the next step it's important to note that this restlessness doesn't mean abandoning everything in a rush to escape discomfort God's timing is perfect and moving ahead of him can lead to unnecessary struggles

instead this season is an invitation to seek his guidance to pray and fast and to listen closely for his voice the restlessness is not a call to action just yet it is a call to preparation God wants wants you to be fully equipped for the new season he is bringing you into you may also find that this restlessness separates you from certain people or places not everyone will understand the shift happening in your spirit and that's okay this season is not about seeking validation from others it's about obeying God's prompting some relationships and environments are

tied to the old season and holding on to them can hinder your progress Trust that God will provide the right people and the right opportunities at the right time finally recognize that this holy discomfort is a gift it is a sign that God has not forgotten you that he is actively working to bring his promises to fruition in your life embrace it even when it feels challenging let it drive you to your knees in prayer to your Bible for wisdom and to the throne of God for strength the this Restless is not the end of

something it is the beginning of something greater as you yield to God's leading you will find that the very things causing discomfort are the Catalyst for your growth trust the process lean into his presence and prepare your heart for the new level he is calling you to your current situation may no longer fit your spirit because God is expanding you for something extraordinary when God begins to elevate you he often opens doors that are both exciting and intimidating these new opportunities are a sign that you are stepping into a higher realm of purpose and influence

however Divine elevation rarely comes without challenges in fact the opportunities God places before you are often wrapped in the disguise of problems that require Faith courage and wisdom to navigate this is because God is not just interested in blessing you he is interested in growing you the opportunities he provides are not meant to make your life easier but to stretch you into the person he has called you to be each Open Door comes with responsibilities decisions and sometimes even battles that test your Readiness for the next level it's in these moments that your faith is

refined and your dependence on God deepens one of the first things you may notice about New Opportunities is that they often seem beyond your current capacity you may feel unqualified or overwhelmed by the magnitude of what lies ahead this is in intentional God will not call you to something you can accomplish in your own strength if the opportunity feels too big for you it is a sign that it is perfectly sized for him he wants you to rely on his wisdom his power and his provision to walk through the door he has opened however walking

through these doors requires courage fear and doubt often try to creep in when you're standing on the threshold of something new thoughts like What if I fail or what if I'm not ready and paralyze you but remember this God does not open doors that he hasn't already equipped you to walk through the challenges ahead may be great but the God who called you is greater his word reminds us be strong and courageous do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go joshua9 these new opportunities also require

wisdom not every Open Door is meant to be walked through and not every challenge is meant to be tackled in the same way this is why discernment is crucial you must seek God's guidance in every decision asking him to reveal the steps you need to take sometimes the wisdom you need will come through prayer the word of God or wise counsel from others be attentive to how God is leading you and don't rush ahead without his direction another thing to understand about Divine opportunities is that they often come with opposition the enemy is not pleased

when God begins to elevate you and he will do everything in his power to discourage distract or derail you the challenges may arise in the form of criticism unexpected setbacks or even self-doubt but take hard opposition is not a sign that you're on the wrong path it's often confirmation that you're moving in the right direction God uses these challenges to strengthen your resolve and sharp in your focus in the midst of these challenges it's important to maintain a perspective of Faith instead of seeing problems as obstacles begin to see them as opportunities for growth and

breakthrough Joseph for example was elevated to a position of great influence in Egypt but his journey was filled with challenges betrayal by his brothers false accusations and imprisonment each of these challenges could have been seen as a setback but in God's plan they were stepping stones that prepared Joseph for his ultimate purpose as you navigate these new opportunities remember to celebrate small victories along the way every step forward no matter how small is progress acknowledge God's faithfulness in the process and remain grateful for his provision gratitude has a way of Shifting your focus from the

challenges to the blessings reminding you that God is with you every step of the way finally understand that these opportunities are not just about you God's elevation in your life is always tied to his greater Kingdom Purpose the doors he opens are designed to position you to impact others to be a blessing and to glorify him the challenges that come with these opportunities are part of the testimony He is building through your life so when you see new opportunities on the horizon don't shy away from them because of the challenges they bring instead step forward

with faith courage and wisdom knowing that God is walking with you he has equipped you for this moment and the Very challenges you face will become the evidence of his power and faithfulness in your life trust him lean into his strength and embrace the opportunities that come with the next level when God begins to elevate you to the next level one of the most significant signs is the alignment of divine connections elevation is not a solo journey and God in his wisdom orchestrates relationships to guide support and even challenge you along the way these connections

are not accidental they are strategically placed by God to help you navigate the new dimensions of purpose and responsibility he is calling you into at pivotal moments in your journey you will notice that the right people begin to show up these are individuals who carry wisdom experience and insight that align with where God is taking you some will come as mentors those who have walked the path ahead of you and can provide guidance and counsel these mentors are a gift sent to help you avoid pitfalls grow in wisdom and mature in your calling pay attention

to their words learn from their experiences and honor their role in your life in addition to mentors God also sends suppor as those who believe in the vision he has placed in your heart and are willing to stand with you as you pursue it these people may not have the answers or the expertise but they have the faith to encourage you in the loyalty to walk alongside you their presence is a reminder that you are not alone even when the road feels uncertain cherish these relationships for they are often the ones who will pray for

you cheer you on and remind you of God's promises when you feel weary interestingly not all Divine connections come as comforters or encourages some will come as challenges individuals who push you beyond your comfort zone provoke you to think differently and stretch your capacity these people may not always be easy to deal with but they are essential to your growth they challenge your assumptions test your patience and refine your character God uses them to sharpen you much like iron sharpens iron instead of resisting their presence embrace the lessons they bring for they are part of

God's preparation for your elevation Divine connections also serve as Divine alignments these relationships often come with a sense of purpose and clarity as if God himself has orchestrated them conversations feel meaningful collaborations seem effortless and the timing of their arrival is undeniably divine you may find that these individuals open doors for you that you could not open on your own or provide resources and insights that Propel you forward recognize these moments as evidence of God's hand at work positioning you for the next level however as God aligns you with the right people he may also

lead you to release relationships that no longer serve his purpose for your life this can be one of the most challenging aspects of elevation not everyone who started the journey with you is meant to finish it with you some relationships were for a season and holding on to them too tightly can hinder your progress trust God's guidance in this area and know that letting go is not rejection it's alignment discernment is key in this season not every person who comes into your life is sent by God and not every opportunity for connection is divine pray

for wisdom to recognize the difference Divine connections are marked by peace purpose and mutual growth they bring Clarity not confusion support not distraction as you seek God's guidance he will reveal who is meant to walk with with you in this new season another important aspect of divine connections is reciprocity while God will send people to pour into you he will also position you to pour into others elevation is never just about receiving it's about giving as well as God blesses you be intentional about being a blessing to those he places in your path share your

wisdom offer your support and encourage others in their Journey this Mutual exchange not only strengthens relationship ships but also fulfills God's Kingdom Purpose ultimately the alignment of divine connections is a reminder of God's faithfulness he knows the journey ahead and provides the people you need to succeed these connections are evidence that his plans for you are good his timing is perfect and his provision is abundant lean into these relationships honor their significance and trust that God is using them to prepare you for greater things as you move into the next level remember that no one

elevates alone God places the right people in your life not only to support you but also to shape you into the person he has called you to be be open to his leading attentive to his voice and grateful for the gift of divine connections through them God will reveal his purpose provide his strength and Propel you into his plan for your life when God begins to elevate you to the next level one unmistakable sign is the stirring of a friend fresh Vision in your heart this is not just any dream or idea it is a

god-given glimpse of the future he has prepared for you these Visions are profound energizing and deeply aligned with his purpose for your life they are seeds of Destiny planted by the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for the greater assignment that lies ahead this fresh Vision often comes unexpectedly you may be going about your daily routines when suddenly a thought a desire or an idea begins to take shape in your spirit it feels Larger than Life Beyond your current abilities or circumstances yet unmistakably clear in its call this is God revealing where he is taking

you a preview of The Next Level that requires Faith to embrace he shows you just enough to inspire you but not so much that you lose your dependence on him when this Vision comes it may feel intimidating you might wonder why me how could I possibly accomplish this but understand that God's Visions are always bigger than our natural capacity because they are designed to showcases power not ours he doesn't give you a vision based on your current resources skills or connections he gives you a vision based on his Limitless resources his perfect timing and his

ultimate plan for your life a fresh Vision brings Clarity and focus it helps you see beyond your present circumstances and align your efforts with God's Kingdom Purpose suddenly things that seemed random or insignificant begin to make sense L experiences lessons and even setbacks are illuminated as pieces of the puzzle God has been assembling for your elevation this Vision acts as a compass directing your steps and guiding your decisions as you move forward however embracing this Vision requires faith and obedience you cannot cannot wait until everything is perfect before taking action God often reveals the what

long before he reveals the how he is looking for your willingness to trust him with the unknown to step out in faith even when the path isn't fully clear remember the vision is not about what you can accomplish on your own it's about what God can accomplish through you this fresh Vision will also bring a sense of urgency you'll find yourself motivated to act to prepare and to position yourself for what's coming this doesn't mean rushing ahead of God's timing but it does mean being diligent in the waiting season this study pray and develop the

skills you'll need to Steward the vision well God gives you the vision but he expects you to prepare for its fulfillment as God births this new vision it's important to guard it not everyone will understand what God has revealed to you and some may even try to discourage you you this is not a time to seek widespread approval it's a time to seek God's confirmation share the vision only with those who are spiritually aligned with you and who can support and pray for you as you pursue it a fresh Vision also requires alignment with God's

word every Divine vision is rooted in his Kingdom Purpose which means it will never contradict his principles test the vision against scripture and allow the word of God to shape and refine it as you do you'll find that the vision becomes not just a personal desire but a Divine mandate a calling that compels you to live in obedience to his will this new vision May stretch you in ways you've never experienced before it may require you to leave behind old mindsets habits or even environments that no longer align with where God is taking you this

stretching is uncomfortable but necessary God is enlarging Your Capacity to carry the weight of the next level he is preparing you to walk in the fullness of his purpose with boldness and confidence finally understand that a fresh vision is not just for you God's purpose for your life is always connected to his greater Kingdom Agenda the vision he gives you is designed to impact others to bring glory to his name and to advance his work in the world as you pursue it you'll find that it not only transforms your life but also touches the lives

of those around you so when God plants a fresh Vision in your heart embrace it with faith and humility lean into his presence seek his guidance and prepare for the journey ahead this vision is a sign that he is taking you to a new level aligning you with his divine plan and positioning you to fulfill your purpose trust him to bring it to pass in his perfect time and way as I bring this message to a close let me remind you that elevation is not simply an act of God it is a process of preparation

alignment and purpose every sign we have discussed today is evidence of a Divine hand shaping you molding you and calling you higher but with every elevation comes responsibility and with every promotion comes a demand for greater Faith greater obedience and greater trust in the one who holds your destiny God is not just interested in taking you to the next level for your benefit he is elevating you to reveal his glory through you the pruning the restlessness the challenges the new opportunities the Divine connections and the fresh Vision are not random they are intentional they are

orchestrated by the creator of Heaven and Earth who knows the plans he has for you plans to prosper you to give you hope and to secure your future in him so as you step into this new season do not shrink back do not allow fear to paralyze you or doubt to silence the dreams God has birthed within you remember his grace is sufficient his power is unmatched and his word is unchanging what he has started in you he is faithful to complete rise with the confidence of knowing that the God who calls you is The

God Who equips you walk boldly through the doors he opens embrace the challenges that refine you and Steward the relationships and vision he has entrusted to you you are not not moving forward by chance you are being elevated by Divine Design and as you ascend to the next level let your life testify to the goodness faithfulness and greatness of our God let the world see in you the evidence of a life fully surrendered to his purpose for when God elevates you it's not just about where you are going it's about who you are becoming in

him go forward be steadfast and let the Journey of elevation be living testimony of the kingdom of God on Earth as it is in heaven amen
