A TIME TO UPGRADE! A Time to Regroup # 8

TIME TO UPGRADE!
A TIME TO REGROUP #8

Saints of God, as August is a Time to Regroup, I couldn't help but hear in my heart UPGRADE. Yesterday, I saw two license plates GRAD01 and HIMFRST.

Upgrade means to raise to a higher rank or grade. Grade means "a particular level of rank, quality, proficiency, intensity or value," and comes from the Latin word gradus, meaning "step."

This week God has me teaching on the theme of Relocation. When you go through schooling, and graduate from a class, you relocate to a new one.

Interestingly enough, yesterday, as I was touching base with Harry & David, for a gift I'm sending out, that was to be delivered Monday, and wasn't, they said they've been Upgrading their system the entire month of August. I found it so wild, that God told me August was a time to REGROUP, and that they too happen to be regrouping by UPGRADING.

The customer service representative I received help from was named TET. I found that really wild; Tet is the 9th letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet, like our version of the Alphabet.

The Ancient Symbol of Tet has the symbol of a snake in a basket/clay jar, as well as a snake surrounding a rock, and means to surround. Different Hebraic scholars have mentioned that Tet is the 9th letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and has the significance where the symbol can also represent a mother's womb that's surrounding the baby.

Tet is used first when God created the light in Genesis 1:4, and said it was "good," with the Hebrew word ṭôwb pronounced tobe, meaning "good, joyful, kindness, love, merry, well, pleasure, precious, wealth, prosperity, etc." (Strong's Concordance Hebrew word # 2896

The Hebrew letters that compose good are Tet, Vav, and Bet. Tet again has the meaning "to surround." Vav is the ancient symbol of a tent peg or nail, meaning "to add and secure." Finally, Bet is the ancient symbol of a tent, meaning, "tent, house, household, and family." Therefore, the word picture for good is THAT WHICH IS ADDED TO YOU SURROUNDS YOUR HOUSE.

This is a great depiction with God's goodness. I find it incredible that God has us regrouping the 8th month of the year, and couldn't but help but think of September, being the 9th month! PRAISE GOD! The time of a woman's delivery with the new baby! A woman is pregnant 9 months.

When you upgrade, God is getting ready to deliver you from the old season, into a new season, which is an UPGRADE, a step above, into the awareness of YOUR VALUE, who you are in Christ, and who God has called you to be.

We see this with Esther becoming queen, David becoming King, and Joseph becoming 2nd in command of a nation. The value of these people to others and the place they dwelt was minimized, because they needed A GOD UPGRADE! They needed to go through the afflictions, to enter the RANK OF GOD'S CALL! PRAISE GOD!

Don't think it strange this fiery trial you're in that's testing your faith! It's to cause you to see Christ in you the hope of Glory, so that you know your value to God! You know the hope to which He's called you!

God bless!

6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7 AMPC

11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. JEREMIAH 29:11 AMPC

26 The mystery of which was hidden for ages and generations [from angels and men], but is now revealed to His holy people (the saints), 27 To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory. COLOSSIANS 1:26-27 AMPC
