1 There Is a Moment for Change

For the mind to break out of the last season’s mentality—there is war. Whether bowling or worshiping or learning a new system or way of doing things, there is war! The war is over a greater portion, an increase, a new way to prosper. As you read this book, pursue this concept in every area of your life; be prepared to enter into your future.

2. See Your Future and Go Beyond

We are much more visual as a society in the world today. We now live in a season to see. What you should see first are the blessings that are there for you in heavenly places. In any season, you want to press toward unlocking and entering into all the blessings that God has ordained for you. God wants to increase your ability to see.

3 Doorways to Going Beyond

I believe God is assembling a group that is saying, “We want that place called beyond!” In this chapter we will discover fifteen issues related to “going beyond.”

4 Pass Over—God’s Plan for Freedom

In this chapter we will see how the Passover points us to our own to pass over into the freedom God has for us, and we will identify those things we need to pass over.

5 God’s Ten-Step Program to Freedom for Israel

The Egyptians placed great faith in their gods, but their gods were really demons. In the ten plagues of Egypt, God was not just bringing random destruction on the land. He was demonstrating the foolishness of trusting in these false gods. God said His purpose was to bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. Each plague was a direct confrontation with one or more of the Egyptian deities. God wanted to show the Egyptians the futility of idolatry and give them an opportunity to turn to the true God.

6 The Blood Key

Passover is the celebration of the blood key to abundant life. The more you understand Passover, the more you appreciate Jesus. As we celebrate Passover, we are declaring our faith in the power of His blood and His redemption. When the celebration of Passover was stolen away, the power left. But when Passover is restored, the power returns. The good news is God is restoring Passover today. We are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, out of the hand of the enemy.

7 The Word Key

In this chapter we will discuss the wilderness and how we interact with the Lord in a place of desolation. The word that we receive in our wilderness place can be a great key to help us to see past the wilderness and learn to overcome murmuring, complaining, and fear in the future.

8 Sinai—God Establishes a New Order

There are times God sits you down and says, “Here are some things you need to know!” Sinai represented a season of instruction. When God brings you into that kind of season, it’s a very special time. Treasure it! What He teaches you in a season of instruction will equip you for all that lies ahead.

9 Jesus—Our Best Example in the Wilderness

If we model after Jesus, we will always be victorious to come through and into the next season. Jesus moved through His wilderness stops. Each phase of expansion in your life has a wilderness front. Every phase of expansion has a wilderness front through which you must learn to war. You must always allow the Spirit of God to evaluate you in each of the phases.

10 See Past Mammon

There is a great battle today over the transfer of wealth. I believe this battle is not just natural but supernatural. As any object, money is neither good nor bad in itself. The key issue for us is our relationship and dedication to the powers that lie behind and that control the supply lines of the money we receive. If we do not give and steward our resources properly, we become blinded by the deceitfulness of riches. The evil eye on the dollar bill becomes a demonic reality that blinds us, vexes our spirit, and causes us to lose our aligned benefits of God.

11 See Your Promise From God’s Perspective

In this season DO NOT LET FEAR win the battle! Fear is a spirit that attaches to our emotions and clouds our thinking process. Fear causes us to withdraw into poverty and a mundane lifestyle. War for the promise! He has your garden of restoration and abundance. Don’t be afraid to leave the past season behind. Remove any root of abandonment in you and strengthen your faith to go up against an enemy that appears stronger than you.

12 The Need for Mending

There are many ways to follow the Lord into healing. There are many methods and faith acts. However, I believe in order to be whole, one must find the root cause of his/her infirmity and then press through into the process of wholeness. Fragmentation attempts to keep us scattered! If we continue to carry within our souls the brokenness that can result from injustices and our mistakes, then we become fragmented. The scattered pieces of our soul must be gathered for us to be whole.

13 God’s Plan for Wholeness

When we experience the grace of God leading to salvation, that abundant grace permeates our entire being— body, soul, and spirit—with the ability to change every fiber of our makeup. As we yield to the ongoing, life-changing power of salvation, we can begin to understand wholeness. We are meant to be whole.

14 Breaking the Power of Vexation

The enemy’s goal is to block a traumatized soul’s emotions. The ultimate goal of the enemy is to vex your spirit. This means a blockage of your communion and intuition. The enemy desires to stop you from pressing through and developing an overcoming testimony. I want to encourage you to leave trauma behind and remove the dam on your blocked emotions.

15 Guard Against the Enemy’s Tools

Satan is also watching for that opportune time to vex and blind us from seeing the best that God has for us. The purpose of this chapter is to reveal Satan’s hidden snares. We are called to see, but many times we must unveil the evil eye.

16 He Is the Father of Your Spirit

He is the Father of spirits. This is an important revelation to understand our makeup. He allows us to develop our soul, but He is Father of our spirit and knows how to transform us from inside out. This is what makes us a child of God. This is why we can have an inheritance in Him.

17 A Renewed Spirit

The wind of the Holy Spirit coming into our human spirit regenerates and empowers us. This wind has a restoring quality. Even though we might be off our path or our senses seem to be scattered and we feel confused, our Deliverer can come and bring a wind of refreshing. This wind will bring cleansing and restore us to the full walk God has intended for us.

18 His Promise Is: “We Will Overcome”

No matter where your life has gone astray, decreased, or experienced loss, you can profit again. You can win in the end, and your end can be greater than your beginning. Now is the time for you to let God unlock the might that is in you! When you see, then turn (the same word for change), you will hear the transition and be repositioned out of last season’s captivities and into next season’s freedom.

19 Nourishing Your Spirit

The spirit is the vital portion of life, the principle of life residing in man. This is the breath breathed by God into man and again returning to God, the spiritual entity in man. In other words it is saying to let your human spirit be full. This word full literally means “to cram full, to satisfy.” I love that! Let your spirit be crammed full, fully satisfied.

Conclusion: Going Beyond

You are made to be an overcomer! Overcome sin, the flesh, the world, and the devil. Your last battle in life is death. Because God fathered your spirit, if you will allow your spirit to fellowship, be nourished, and exercised, you will remain strong.
