As we enter the month of September I I keep getting a picture of new running shoes being given to the Lord’s people. I believe that in the next month God is going to move significantly, and often surprisingly, in the areas of repositioning and relocation. There is new territory to be entered, new places to be occupied, new spheres for you to bring your influence.

Running shoes indicate activity and speed. There will be a swiftness in the shifting. There will be times when you will be so uncertain as to what God is doing, but as you seek Him, He will lead you on forward so clearly and unmistakably. He will speak through the least expected people and call some of you to unexpected places, but this repositioning is for your promotion and prosperity. This is a month of realignment and reassignment. Move as the Spirit leads and occupy the places that he has prepared for you.
