What time is your flight?

     Ecclesiastes 3:11 says “He hath made every thing beautiful in His time.”
     Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
     The Lord has booked a very important flight for you…a flight that He wants you to make on time. But this flight has no airplane! This flight cannot be tracked by radar. But this flight is subject to delay if you don’t make it on time, that is, if you miss divine appointment, for there is “a time to every purpose under the heaven.” There’s a specific time attached to specific purposes in your life. This is a spiritual flight.
     The price of the ticket is not in “dollars” but in “death”, as in “death to self”. Hebrews 12:1 says “…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us…”
     Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
     Hebrews 11:25 says “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”
     Sin can delay your spiritual flight. Romans 3:23 lets you know that sin brings you short of the glory of God. Notice that it says “the glory of God”, and not your own personal glory. In Isaiah 42:8  God says “…and my glory will I not give to another,…” God wants the credit and the glory out of your life.
     Hebrews 11:25 lets you know that sin only has pleasure for a season. It’s not beneficial to sin, because sin brings you short of the glory of God being revealed in your life, sin only has pleasure for a season, and as Hebrews 12:1 lets you know, sin easily besets you.
     That word beset, in the verb tense, is partly defined as; “(of a problem or difficulty) trouble or threaten persistently”. Sin easily besets you, or in other words, it easily troubles or persistently threatens the revealing of God’s glory in your life.
     Hebrews 12:1 is telling you to “lay aside every weight”. There are many temptations in life that are “weights” or “burdens”, and they sometimes lead you into sin and prevent God’s glory from being revealed in your life.
     But when you lay aside the weights, and the sin that easily besets you, you are ready to take flight! Take flight where?
     Ephesians 3:20 lets you know that God “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us”. Any request that you can THINK of, God can TRANSCEND. God can take you to places in the spirit that are not humanly possible to get to.
     1 Corinthians 2:10 says “But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” The spirit realm is deep. There are many places that God wants to take you to on this spiritual flight that no man has discovered yet!
     Hebrews 11:5 says “By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
     Enoch was translated, or in other words, he was caught up into heaven without dying a physical death. You want to be so caught up in the spirit that you experience “the deep things of God” without having died a physical death. You are alive, but at the same time you have “died” to your desires that are not pleasing to God.
     Verse 5 says “that he should not see death;” When you get caught up in the spirit, you are looking from a perspective where you do not “see death”. When a contrary situation arises, those who have not taken this spiritual flight might see “death” or “discouragement” in their circumstances, but YOU instead see “life”. From the heavenly perspective, you see the situation already worked out!
     Hosea 6:2 says “After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.” When you take this spiritual flight, having set aside the weights and the sin that easily besets you, you can benefit from being raised up, living “in His sight”. You are “living in His sight”, or in other words, you are seeing things from God’s perspective! You are not seeing “death” in your circumstances, but rather you are seeing “life”.
     Referring back to Hebrews 11:5, notice that the Word is saying Enoch “was not found, because God had translated him:” When you take this spiritual flight, people are not going to “find” you or comprehend where the Spirit has taken you!
     You are going to say and do things that are beyond comprehension! 
     2 Corinthians 12:2 says “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.”
     2 Corinthians 12:4 says “How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which is not lawful for a man to utter.”
     Here Paul is talking about a man that he knew who was caught up into heaven, but he couldn’t tell whether the man was in his body or not. In other words, you don’t have to wait to experience physical death in order to experience heaven. The Word says in Psalm 34:8 “O taste and see that the Lord is good:…” 
     When the man was caught up to heaven he “heard unspeakable words, which is not lawful for a man to utter.” He heard “unspeakable words”. When you’re caught up in the spirit, you are going to hear words that are not understood by someone who is not in the spirit.
     Society is trying to tell you that you are impoverished, but instead you heard “unspeakable words” telling you that you are empowered! For the Word says in Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
     Notice that the Word says that the man heard unspeakable words, “which is not lawful for a man to utter.” When you get caught up in the spirit, you begin to speak words that are not lawful for a man to utter. In other words, you begin to speak words that defy natural laws!
     Mary and Martha told Jesus that their brother Lazarus was sick. Based on natural laws, Lazarus’ sickness was supposed to result in death. When Jesus heard what Mary and Martha said about Lazarus being sick, He said “…This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God…” (John 11:4).
     Though Lazarus did die, in John 11:43 the Word says “And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.” Jesus spoke a word that defied death!
     In John 11:44, it says “And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.”
     The Lord wants you to “come forth” out of “dead” situations and take a flight into the Spirit. He wants to “loose you, and let you go”. He wants you to discover “the deep things of God”.
     So what time is your flight? What hidden purpose is God ready for you to discover? Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that “He hath made every thing beautiful in His time:…” God wants you to discover the beautiful things in the Spirit that He has made, based on His time.
