Exodus 12:31-33
During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lordas you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.” The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”

> So they say, It's over! We're done!
Exodus 14:5-6
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him.

> It's not really about the person the part that bothers me is I no longer have their services.
> Is this why they randomly started texting you again
> There was a particular service that you had to put up with their narcissistic behavior or that put up with my dysfunction or put up with my anger or compromise
> When it's God, you're never gonna have to keep up refreshing your social media, to see if they have updated their status but they didn't return your text or call from yesterday. When it's God, you won't have to stalk them.

When you spend so much time monitoring them, you can lose sight of you. You'll lose sight of what God is doing in your life. You'll lose sight of how God is purging you, pruning you and you mislabel it. Know they didn't just leave you. Could God have possibly removed them because God knows our tomorrow today. God is our future today. And He knows this individual is not conducive for where I'm taking here so I'm gonna remove them now so I don't have to remove the trauma from their life later.
If you don't understand that reality, you risk trying to repair somebody who's breaking you.
WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO IS ABOUT TO BLOW MY MING BUT OBEDIENCE AND APPLIED PRINCIPLES ARE REQUIRED.
We can't live according to the flesh and then be confused on why our Spirit is in a drought. The grass is not greener on the other side and if you go over to the other side, you'll discover that it's just turf. It's not real. It's not authentic joy, real confidence real contentment. God wants us to experience the real thing. What God sends will not be toxic. What God sends will not bring trauma. Not saying you won't need accountability and some guidance. But this will not cause me to need therapy.
Being fake is too much exhausting. It requires too much work. - Keep up with things, fake posts, fake smiles, fake joy, fake happiness.
Why people go ghost?
1. You're too real
2. You're about to expose their fake life
3. They're running from themselves.

3. They're running from themselves.
- Everytime things get difficult you run. When it gets hard, you run. When somebody challenges you, you run. When you get corrected, you run.
The problem is you can never outrun you. Eventually the real you is gonna make its debut.

If David would have run from Goliath, instead of to Goliath... we don't even recognize that David fighting Goliath, it wasn't just about the fight, it was his announcement. David fighting Goliath was an announcement to the world, a new king is coming, somebody else has the oil. David fighting Goliath was the transition from him just being a little shepherd boy to a king that soon to come. How many of us are running from our promotion in disguise because you don't want to fight your giant?
It's not even about you. Sometimes when people leave us without explanation, it could cause for us to question ourselves. It could turn up the volume of our inner critic. You don't have to get wet from a storm that's not yours. That's their issue:
If the Christ follower is supposed to be the one who is filled with love, it's exposed by how we love each other. If that's the evidence that we're believers, no wonder why the enemy is after our hearts.

Sometimes the people who left, come back, it is a strategy of the enemy. Level up so hard that certain things can't find you, that former things can't tempt you anymore. Evolve so hard that you have to re-introduce yourself.
If I go to the Apple store and look for Iphone4, they will think I'm crazy. They wouldn't even question themselves. You're coming and trying to find something that we no longer produce. I'm not on that level anymore.
You forgot who you were - NO. I didn't forget who I am. I just refused to live where we met.
Become so mature, that for some people we have to be like an out of service elevator. They can step in but don't have to go to the floor that they pushed because I have self-government, and I have self-mastery. We need to be out of service for hell's use. Out of service to your schemes, temptations, manipulations because I have a new service provider and my service provider has given me an unlimited plan, unlimited blessings, unlimited joy, unlimited peace, unlimited access to the Father.
Notice the timing, because being aware of the timing can cause you to be aware of the sender.
What is sent your way when you're about to fall into depression.
When you're having a night when your flesh is on fire and you get a random text.
When you're about to make an unwise choice, how that spiritual leader or friend, pastor, brother, sister seems to call you just to check on you, to see how you're doing. Because noticing the timing that as soon as you change your ind, as soon as you get serious about your faith, fasting, commitment.

How an X occurs (not always a person) could be a thing.
Anything that in your life at one time held you hostage. This is why it's so dangerous to follow cultural doctrine because culture says follow your heart. But sometimes God will ask us to do things that doesn't sit well with our heart but we're going to obey Him anyway. So our feet follows just out heart still doesn't understand why. And if we follow our heart, we'll go back to the very places that God has brought us out of.

X comes back when you're in between entry and exit.
It causes for hell to rage when you're right on the brink.
That's a sign to let you know that you are about to walk into something. Your flesh brings the most fury when you're right on the brink of something which is why you must have a vision. God puts a vision in our hearts and in our soul not always to remind us of where we're going but for when we hit the middle so that when an X tries to get you to return or to persuade you to go back, I'm not going back there, because I'm going here --->
NO NEED FOR PLAN B
FOLLOWING CALLINGS COME WITH FAREWELLS.
FOLLOWING CALLINGS COME WITH FAREWELLS.
1 Kings 19:20-21
Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,” he said, “and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?” So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.

> Elisha went back not to stay but to slaughter everything he knew. He has no plan B.
The reason why your flesh is on fire, because you're still giving your flesh options.
One way to defeat this.. BY NO PLAN B

Luke 9:62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God."
I'M GOING ALL IN. SOLD OUT. BE COMMITTED TO THIS THING.
I'M GOING ALL IN. SOLD OUT. BE COMMITTED TO THIS THING.
Difference between interested and committed.
Interested - you'll do what's convenient
Committed - you'll do whatever it takes
Why X's return:
1. Do I still have a grip? Hell could be nervous because it sees your change. It sees you changing, praying,. So sometimes he has to send what worked in one season to see if it still works in this season.
2. When you are close to something.
God sents and counterfeits usually arrive in the same season.
-Elijah and Baal worshippers
- Moses and Pharaoh
- Jesus and Herod
3. To limit access
They're trying to limit other people from having access to you. They're blockers. If I can't have you, no one can have you. To limit your prayer life / devotion
Have you noticed, when certain people depart, peace arrives. Peace departure is tied to your arrival
4. Miss you and your services
A lot of us get in trouble because whenever we feel as though this is unfamiliar terrain. Whenever God places us in something new, we try to reach back to something old, to provide us with comfort. But comfort zones and callings will never be romantically involved and anytime God calls, it always comes with abandonment of a thing.
God never cracks a read sea so that you can return to Egypt.
A lot of us are not waiting, you're getting dressed.
There's a difference in getting ready and being dressed.
When you're ready, you're waiting.
When you're becoming, you're dressing.
When you're ready - you're dressed and you're waiting.
Our anxiety is heightened because we don't recognize we're not in the season of ready, we're in the season of getting dressed. When you're getting dressed, don't dress yourself with Egypt clothing and don't allow Egypt texts to cause you to undress what God has put on you as you are becoming.
Everything that God sends your way is going to come on time.
You can prolong a package by disobedience.
God can't send the new thing until you let the old thing go
5. You gave them life - this was parasitic.
