Just Get Started
Justgetstarted!Startmoving,and don’tsitandjustthink.SayingI’llwait forbetterconditions,waitingfor finances,waitingfortherightlook.
Everythingdoesn’thavetobeperfect; juststartmovingwithwhatyouknow andwhatyouhave.Psalm138:8says, “TheLordwillperfectthatwhich concernethme”.

In Isaiah 43:9, God said to the Israelites, “See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.”
“A

HereistheWordofGodtoletyouknow“It’s ATossUp!”

Theseparatingofthewheatfromthechaffis calleda“threshing”.Duringthe“threshing”a “WinnowingFork”,wouldbeusedtossthe wheatandchaffintotheair.Thewheatwould becollected,andthechaffburnedwithfire.
Don'tmisstherevelation,thethreshingfloor wastheplaceofseparationwheretheuseful wasdividedfromtheuseless.
.Thethreshingfloor,spirituallyspeaking,is theplaceinyourlifewheretheHolySpirit separatestheGodlyfromtheungodly.Not justGodlypeoplefromungodlypeople,but ungodlythings,ungodlyways,attitudes, charactersanddistastefuldispositions
