I’ve recently been watching a video series I made back in 2021 about my dreams of marvel supernatural abilities. After watching at least five of those videos, something very odd stood out to me about that time of my life and those videos. I began to realize there is a pattern repeating in my life right now that I first noticed when I look back at what was happening for me only a few years ago. If you’ve ever wondered about the times and seasons in your life and how they are supposed to change from one to the next in a natural order, this episode will give you a good and concise perspective of how God ordains the transitions of seasons in our lives. When you learn to recognize the signs of those changes, you will begin to understand what to expect next.

Stages, Seasons & Processes

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

The first time I recognized a change of seasons in my life was actually before my 2021 video recording session. It was in 2018 when I had the only post-Air Force “job” as an Uber and Lyft driver for 11 months. That job came at a time when I had been wanting to get out in public and actually interact with people. I didn’t really know what I was looking for but God knew what I needed. He wanted me out in public learning to make small talk with all sorts of people and to see how those outside of the military lived. It was a very good experience and after almost a whole year of driving (about 1,900 rides given), it was time to move on to my next assignment.

As I was nearing the end of those 11 months, I had a dream where I saw a large amount of fall leaves blowing into the living room of the house I had been staying in. When I looked up the possible meanings of “fall leaves” in a dream, one thing stood out to me – a change of life seasons was coming. Within two months or so of that dream, I stopped being an Uber and Lyft driver because my 213,000 mile 2007 Toyota RAV4 had reached a point where it was no longer able to be driven for that purpose.

Moving on from that time and fast forwarding to my 2021 video recording sessions now… God had given me an assignment to write my “Marvel Dream Revelations” ebook and then to record a subsequent video series to accompany it. I was very excited to record those videos and by the time I finished doing so, I had somewhere between 15 to 20 videos in total. Strangely enough, for reasons I am about to explain, most people never saw those videos. I really enjoyed that assignment but, I had a major problem that I had not processed through and it was stopping me at every turn. Simply put, I had a serious insecurity problem about putting myself out there as I was in those videos (especially with that topic).

It’s not that I did not already have a YouTube channel with lots of videos or that I had already started doing live Periscope video broadcasts. I was already gaining experience with all that but, dealing with the subject of supernatural marvelic abilities was something that raised some challenges for me. It’s really more complicated than I can explain here but let’s just say that there were a number of personal matters I had to deal with regarding that subject. Let’s just keep it simple for now and say that, in retrospect, I actually did a great job with most of those videos. When I listen to them now, they remind me of some very important principles and lessons God was teaching me at the time. Truthfully, I’m learning things now just by listening to what God was inspiring me to say at that time in each of those videos.

And yet, despite all the positives in those videos, I could not bring myself to keep them posted publicly. Here’s the short version of why that was the case… My mind had a problem where I would look back on what I thought I remembered saying and then I would start to criticize myself to the point that I would end up looking at everything I did in a negative light. That over-scrutinizing and perfectionistic mindset was killing everything God inspired me to do and ultimately, no one benefited from what God assigned me to do (until now).

So what’s my point in bringing all this up and what does it have to do with the title of this episode?? Great question, I’m glad you asked.

Fiery Transitions (Part Of God’s Plan)

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

Daniel 10:1 (KJV)

When I look back at that time in my life, in 2021, I was in a transition. God was pushing me out into a new assignment and along with that, it brought challenges I was not prepared to deal with. However, there were other areas of my life that I had already successfully processed through and I had reached a point where I was no longer able to develop further in the circumstances God put me in. Particularly, as I explained in my marvel dreams video about developing marvelic faith, I had finally learned to live by faith according to the situation I had been in up to that time. If you go and watch that video now, you will hear how God used horrible circumstances to develop a much greater level of faith in me. I had reached a point where I could live at peace, not freaking out over where money was going to come from for even basic life needs.

And that is the point I want to highlight here. God used very negative circumstances to develop character traits in me that had not existed in me before. So when I reached that new level of maturity in my faith, I was no longer able to develop any further until God pushed me into new circumstances. When I was in the military, we called that “the point of diminishing returns” – when you are working on the same thing over and over again but now, you are getting less and less out of your efforts.

God knew the stage I was at in my process and He knew when it was time to move me to the next place. That is the point I’m trying to make here with my story. We are each supposed to be developing according to God’s process of maturity so that we reach full sonship and are able to handle the full weight of our calling and purpose (as He intended for us). When we reach a point where we have passed one level, we must move on to the next. Each level has its own unique set of circumstances and challenges that we must learn to handle to a certain degree. Not that we will ever do anything perfectly but, God knows when we are at the point where we can perform our required duties to the level of satisfaction in order to accomplish “the mission” He assigned us to.

When I look back at my 2021 series of marvel dreams videos, I see two sides of the same coin. On the one side, I had developed a lot and had become very good at handling the circumstances I was put in. But, on the other hand, there were parts of my character that were not developed sufficiently. The only way I was going to be able to fix those other areas was for God to push me out into my next phase of life. And that’s what He did. In 2022, I left the place I had been living for 6 years and moved on to the next big phase of my life. Unfortunately, what happened next was horrible but, it was God’s way of basically throwing me into the fire and expecting me to survive the experience.

So, 2022 began the worse experience of my life for reasons I have thoroughly explained in this series. But again, the same process has played out! At the point I’m writing this episode in March 2026, I have developed in areas that I never imagined possible. There are character traits I did not have before but, they would be critical to my next phase of life. The pattern has repeated itself several times in my life, mostly since I began what I call my supernatural journey.

I need to say it again, if you are really in God’s process of development and you are really putting in all your effort to fulfill His calling and purpose for your life, then you will see this general pattern play out for you as well. God will put you in a situation that you will not be able to handle at first. Then, at His appointed time, He will move you to the next place. He knows infinitely more than we do about who and what we really are right now and what we must become in order to fulfill the unique, specific purpose that He put us here to fulfill. God works in seasons, cycles and patterns. It is our job to learn to recognize those and what we must do to keep up with His plan for our life. When we do this, we will be on track to reaching our “expected end” to fulfill all that God designed us for from the beginning of time.

So… let’s now watch and see how things play out from this time on. My wife and I already have a ton of dreams about what is coming next, some of which I have already written about in this series. Keep reading the next episodes and find out!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (KJV)
