If you are experiencing some of these signs currently, it means God is preparing you to a new season.
1) YOU ARE SEEING THINGS DIFFERENTLY
Are you looking at people, places, and things with new eyes? Is God showing you things that you may not have seen before? Pay attention! Resist the urge to put on the rose-colored glasses and allow yourself to see the world as it really is, and you will discover what may need to change. If God is opening your eyes, look closely.
2) YOU ARE EXPERIENCING NEW EMOTIONS
Are you able to verbalize and name your emotions? Do you have a sense of restlessness and longing? Do things move you differently? Do not minimize or ignore how the spirit of God may be opening you up to feel and experience new things. If this is happening often, you may be ready for a change.
3) YOU HAVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF HEARING
What is your inner voice telling you? What do you hear others saying? Does it seem like you are hearing things for the very first time? Is God speaking to you through the Bible, a song, or the words of others? Quiet your soul and listen. You may miss crucial directions for change if you do not practice active listening.
4) SOME THINGS DON’T SMELL RIGHT ANYMORE
Are you upset by things that never used to bother you before? Do some things in your life “stink” in a way that you can no longer ignore them? Is the smell of fear, doubt, and failure so overwhelming that you are ready to remove it from your life? Do not try to cover up the smell with an artificial air freshener. Take out the trash of your past that may be holding you back from making necessary changes.
5) YOU HAVE LOST YOUR TASTE FOR THE STATUS QUO
Are your routines and relationships becoming bland and unappetizing? Have you lost your appetite for taking risks, dreaming dreams, or exploring new horizons? Do you want some zest in your life? Don’t settle for the status quo and stagnate where you are. Ask God for faith to taste and try new things.
