   Get Your Wings!

    
Jeanne Alcott

 

     How can you see your life improve?  It’s easy to get to a place where we wonder if we’ll ever see something improve in a certain area.  I mean, at times conditions certainly don’t look as if they’re changing or getting better.

     We wonder when that desire will ever develop or when can that idea be polished and come about.  We’re waiting to advance or have something made stronger and better.  Just think today how many things you would like to see improved.  Then realize at this moment that God is coming to you to help you know that you can see it happen if you are willing to go through a time of preparation and development.  That’s one of the requirements to seeing something get better.  It’s preparation and development.


You have to be in the cocoon for a while.

     You might say that you have to be in a cocoon for a while.  We know how a cocoon works.  It’s a protective covering that insects spend some time in so they can develop and undergo a metamorphosis.  They’re transformed while they are in there being fed, nourished, and developed.  This is preparation for them to get their wings to be able to fly.  Once they can fly…oh my, they can do more, see more, go more places, even have some fun!

     So if you are going to be able to do more, see more in your life, go more places, and even have some fun, you have to be in the cocoon in order to get your wings!  It’s a time of preparation to get your wings so that you can emerge with increased strength and character and wisdom.

     You see, you’re going to need them!  Those are all things that we must have—strength and character and wisdom—so that we can see a relationship improve.

     See our family stop being at odds with each other and have peace and greater unity and more fun with each other.

     When you’re in that cocoon you get the ability to advance into that new responsibility or new position or see that project take off and fly.

     You learn better how to enhance your life in some way and how to handle issues that are facing you.

     Increase your holdings—the blessings that God has given you materially and financially.

     You come out of there with God’s touch on your body for greater health and you know how to take better care of yourself.

     Greatest of all, you’re in that cocoon so that you can develop wings that will help you fly spiritually into some of the most wonderful, personal, intimate times with the Father.  YOU COME OUT OF IT A NEW PERSON.


Something good is happening on the inside.

     I was reading a book by a friend of ours, Ann Ault, who is an actress and writer, and she was describing how one evening in Arizona she went out into her yard and saw a cocoon on the wall that surrounded her yard.  The description of it was horrible.  It did not look good at all on the outside.  But she knew something good must be happening on the inside so she continued to watch.

     A butterfly or some kind of insect was about to get its wings.  So she watched as it began to break through the cocoon.  Finally wonderful rainbow wings began to appear.  It was a dragonfly.  It came up out of the cocoon and then perched itself right on top of it.  The dragonfly had made it through.

     Then the next morning, when she went out to check on it, the shell was on the ground and the dragonfly was having a wonderful time!  It had got its wings.

     You know as we’re getting our wings, we go through some conditions that may be hard.  But God is protecting us in a cocoon.  He will nourish us there until the condition changes.  We will emerge from that thing.  Then it’s going to drop away, and we’re going to have a great time and experience all that God has for us.

     You see, the time you’re going through right now may be tough but use it to prepare yourself with greater strength, character, and wisdom.  Oh my, you’ll really be able to fly again.  All things will seem new to you.  You will do more, see more, go more places, even have some fun!


The fresh and new has come.

     Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us that because we’re in Christ we’re a new creation, the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.  Behold, the fresh and new has come!  The fresh and new is coming!  You’re going to see improvement!  That is a direct word of encouragement from the Lord.

     He does not want you to turn away from what’s coming out of this ugly time.  He’s going to change that cocoon into something that’s beautiful and will release you to see His goodness move in a greater way.  You’re going to get your wings.  Do things that seemed almost impossible before, and you may even have a little fun too!

     That may seem foreign to you right now because you’re trying so hard, or what you’re experiencing is so uncomfortable.  But it’s there waiting for you.  So don’t despair being wrapped up in the developing stage.  Believe that you’re going to emerge with something better.  Yes, things are going to improve.

     There’s so much potential, but if it’s not developed, we know the Lord can’t do much with it.  There has to be preparation.  It can’t be faked.  That’s what’s happening many times to people.  They want to get from point A to point Z…now!  So they fake the developing stage.  But it is essential to go through the preparation time so they can grow their wings and fly properly.  They try to fake it by passing some of the developing steps and stages.  And that’s when they end up with disappointment because it just doesn’t happen the way they imagined.  We cannot fake the development time.  If we want improvement, it’s got to happen.


No fake front.

     This is what a town experienced in Northern Ireland.  Most people don’t know about this town, but it happened to be where the G8 summit took place in 2013.  So the world’s eight most powerful leaders gathered there.  Can you imagine!  Everyone was so excited about it that they began preparation for the presidents and chancellors that would be going through their town.

     Unfortunately, there had been businesses which had gone into bankruptcy as a result of the credit crisis and recession.  But instead of allowing the leaders to see all the closed bankrupt businesses, the village decided to fill the shopfront windows with pictures of what the business was before it went bankrupt.  So, you had grocery stores, butcher shops, pharmacies and those types of places that were filled with very large photographs in the windows.  As you drove past and glanced at the window, you would see what appeared to be products in the store and people; it seemed to be a thriving business.  Everything looked normal, but unfortunately it wasn’t.  It was just a mask.

     When we’re going through a tough time, God doesn’t want us to have a fake front.  Rather He wants to help us truly improve.  Go through the developing time.  Sure, something may feel as though it’s bankrupt.  It’s broken, not working right.  We really want to see this change and be better.  But to put up a fake front instead of going through the time of developing and renewing is not true improvement.

     God wants to make that thing new instead of covering up the old.  Let Him do the renovation.  That’s where everything you need will be gained.  Oh really hear that.  Through that process of allowing God to work with you in your desire and who you are, that’s where you’ll gain everything you’re going to need.  Then you can emerge with what you really desire.

     It may take longer and will probably be a more painful process, but the beauty of what you see as a result will be worth it.  That’s what it takes if you want to see improvement in your life.


God will nourish you until you get your wings.

     Thank goodness God is there nourishing you, strengthening you, and supplying your needs.  Reach out to Him today and receive what He wants to give you.  Believe you’re going to see improvement!

     Be convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion.   (Ref. Philippians 1:6.)  HE’S GIVING YOU YOUR WINGS TO FLY!  Get ready to experience greater things.  Hallelujah.

 

We’re to pray with you to get your wings and see something new.

God has been working and developing your heart’s desires.  I’m sure you can feel something as I say that because His Spirit is reaching out to you so strongly right now.  Let’s join our faith for you to get your wings and experience the improvement the Lord has for you.  It’s going to be fun!  So get ready.  Share with us as soon as possible what’s going on.  We’re here to pray with you and then write you a letter that’s filled with His heart from His Word.  Let us hear from you soon by clicking here.  Jeanne Alcott
