#SeparationForElevation

You know, lately, I have been feeling lonely, isolated, a sense of separation from those around me. It’s like I’m in this wilderness experience. I don’t know how to describe the feeling because I’m around people, have friends but still feel isolated. A limited connection with those around me. I try to connect with people but often times, I find myself adding more within the friendship than I am receiving. I would be the one to hit them up all the time but not given the same courtesy and eventually, the connection dies. Sometimes I think that I’m the problem and that I’m the cost of the friendship/connection dying. 

I don’t know why I feel this way but I know God is doing something behind the scenes. He’s preparing me for the next level. This might require separation from those who were with me before. Some things and people have to be disconnected from my life so nothing is able to stop me from progressing to where God wants me to be. Although it may not feel good, it is for the better.

Elevation requires separation.

I may not see the intentions of those who I connected with. I may not see the lies, rumors and other malicious attacks being forged against me behind my back. I may not see the type of spirits God is protecting me from. However, He knows all and if it is His will, they would be with me in the next level of my life. Some people may not have the right mindset as me for the next level. Their focus may be in something totally different which would only become a distraction for me. God wants to connect me with the right people for the next level. The process of elevation is not for me to understand or try to figure out. If I’m going to be fully submitted to God, I must simply allow Him to have full control and allow His will to unfold in my life.

After reading that, you may feel the same way as me but I want you to hear me out. Never be afraid to cut ties and let loose some connections you built with others. God is preparing you for the next level. Old things are passed away, He’s making all things new in your life. You are not the problem. It’s not your fault. It is just that some people cannot go with you to where God is taking you. He already has new opportunities and new connections for you in the next level. You must realize that some connections are seasonal. Never be too connected that you do not know when it’s time to leave. You may often hear in church, “This is your season!” Notice the word season! It’s a phase, a stage, nothing permanent. Allow God to weed out anything that does not need to be in your life for the next level or season of your life.
