YOU ASKED and
DDWM PASTORS ANSWERED
How can I know what season I am in?
-Cynthia
Hello Sister Cynthia,
Seasons are characterized by various victories and hurdles,
but one thing is constant about each season—God has a
purpose for each one. As believers, we all have different
seasons in our faith walk. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,
“There is a purpose for every season ...”
As you walk through these different seasons, Cynthia, Holy
Spirit guides you to the expected end—the purpose for
which you have been experiencing the season. Holy Spirit
dwelling in you will quicken your spirit to identify the season
you are in. He has been given to you as a Teacher and Helper so that you will have the ability and
sensitivity to recognize each season as it comes. Remember, just as Holy Spirit granted the sons of
Issachar to recognize and understand times and seasons (1 Chronicles 12:32), so too He will reveal
to you the season that you are in, because He lives in you.

Hello Jody,

Ecclesiastes 3:6 tells us that there is a time to gain and a time to lose.
If I am holding on to what I know God wants me to let go of, am I
setting myself up for failure by not letting go of this particular thing?

The answer to your question is found in Luke 6:46-49:
!

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to
Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man
building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood
arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was
founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the
earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell.
And the ruin of that house was great.”
