For the Lord would say, "You are moving into a new season." And the Lord says, "You must not lead the remnants of the old season behind you." And the Lord says, "This is a time to take stock of things that have troubled you, old pain, old wounding." And the Lord says, "You must shake the dust off your feet or the pain of your yesterday, so I can bring you into a new tomorrow."

And God says, "Come up to a higher place. I'm going to show you how to walk in a new place where the fiery darts of the enemy do not wound your heart, but you are immediately able to deal with what comes at you," says the Lord. "You are able to resist the devil and he will flee from you," says God.

And the Lord says, "Know this, I am giving you a time of wearing new armor, for some of your armor is so battered and bruised from the last season; but I would say to you, close the holes in your armor—those things that have hurt you." And the Lord says, "If you will do that, you are going to come to a triumphant place where, even though the enemy will try to pull you down, it will not be lasting but momentary. Those things that used to take you down emotionally and it would take you days to overcome—it will be fleeting," says God.

"For I have given you authority to overcome; I have given you authority to walk in a new and higher place with me," says God.

So the Lord says, "Come into a time where even you form prayer alliances because, if there is a challenge before you that you're not able to overcome on your own," the Lord says, "I will bring two, and I will bring three to agree with you. Ask Me for those people who will stand with you in agreement."

And God says, "If you will do that, you're going to be strong, a three-fold cord. Who can break? I want to strengthen you. I want to bring people into your life who will stand with you," says God, "even in the midst of the difficult moments." So God says, "Rise up, my beloved, rise up; come away with me. Let me show you those wounds of the past, so you can cut them off, so you can come into your new season. You can not bring them into a new season, for if you do, the new seasons will become like the old season. I want everything to become new and do a new thing in your life," says the Lord.
