The Only Way Forward...

THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS TO STOP STRUGGLING AND LET THE FLOW CARRY YOU.

We are living in days of great revelation. God has indeed chosen the foolish things to confound the proud. The despised things are beautiful in His eyes. He will have the LAST LAUGH.

The flow of God’s spirit causes eyes to be open. It causes healing to occur. It causes wisdom and direction. It EXPOSES.

Sometimes the reality of God’s Spirit working amongst us is uncomfortable. It cleanses and puts right things that are wrong and unhealed. Sometimes it is all we can do to deal with everything. The irony is that many of us cry out for God to move. When He does start doing so we are very insecure. We want to be able to CONTROL what God is doing and to dictate the pace at which He does it.

Things ‘just happen’ under God’s anointing. Yet we want to analyse.

We don’t know as much as we think. We would like to tell God how He must turn up and what He must do. We look for certain criteria as evidence. We must HUMBLE OURSELVES AND KEEP QUIET WITH OUR OPINIONS.

God’s Spirit flowing has been likened to a river. God seems to like to do things in a fairly orderly and fluid way. It is like being in the flow of a river sometimes. In Ezekiel, it talks of a river flowing from the temple, which increased in volume and depth. At the outset God’s flow is gentle and manageable. As God begins to move the flow seems to increase.

Have you ever had that feeling of being out of you depth or even the discomfort of having your feet swept from beneath you. Sometimes the move of God’s Spirit is hard to define. Maybe it is for the benefit of other people. I hear you say that God is concerned about the things that concern us... that’s true... but perhaps THE EMPHASIS IS STARTING TO CHANGE. Perhaps we need the full force of flowing water to BREAK THROUGH the strongholds in cities and regions not just individuals.

So we can feel as though we are drowning.

Over the years we have been blessed to receive instructs that help us navigate through some difficult areas.  We have received instruction that didn’t seem to make sense, but it may need be important.  In terms of this analogy... we have had SWIMMING LESSONS over the years... YET IT SEEMED THAT THE LAND WAS DRY...well now you know why... because we must swim now. The river of God’s Spirit must smash through stronghold on a much larger scale.

So if we didn’t have the lessons when they were offered to us we are gonna find it tough going. BUT there is always HOPE but the hope comes through REPENTANCE. God cares for us deeply and wants to help us. When we cry out He is there for us. He has a place for us. He wants the best for us... but HE RESISTS THE PROUD AND GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. We are all out of our depth compared to God. But He has made a way for us. He has made an invitation to a feast. Are we going to make excuses.
