Isaiah 43:18-19 TPT
[18] "Stop dwelling on the past. Don't even remember these former things. [19] I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don't you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert.
For anything to be new means the old has died. New means new. The old way of doing things like the old way of reasoning, old belief systems, old habits, old influences, old mindsets etc that are not conforming to the flow of God’s Spirit in our individual life’s are, in many ways, being challenged and aborted. Nothing gets birthed without pain!
We have entered into a new season ushered in by a tremor of God’s hand. This tremor is shaking individual’s, families, ministries, businesses, governments, nations and the entire globe. Everything that can be shaken is being shaken in this transformational time with one purpose in mind………preparing the way for the ushering in of the new. Even our deepest foundations are being shaken, Christians and non-christians alike.
As Christians we understand our God to be a God of times and seasons. The importance for us is to stay solidly founded in the truth of His Word in any time and season we find ourselves in. This season will be marked with discomfort in the midst of deep rest in God. Most people will eventually align themselves with God and get in the flow of His Spirit after having resisting Him at first. Surrender is key in this time.
In this new season we are entering into a time of extreme visitation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has one purpose in mind.....Awakening True Image & likeness which Results In Authentic Harvest in this time and season. As there are many different measures of extremes for natural rain falling from the clouds on the earth so are there different measures of spiritual rain falling on our individual lives, ministries, businesses, governments and nations from the Holy Spirit.
In the past we experienced a drizzle of Holy Spirit outpours at times....it was refreshing and great! But I truly believe we are moving into days were we will experience a downpour of the Holy Spirit which will create havoc. The Holy Spirit storm will usher in holy re-alignment, holy refreshment, holy reverence and a holy move of heaven that will remove the ordinary form our daily lives and sphere we move in.
Joel 2:28-32 NLT
[28] "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.
29] In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants-men and women alike.
30] And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth- blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31] The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives.
32] But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the LORD has said. These will be among the survivors whom the LORD has called.
Our God is a God of extremes. He is the God of the drizzle and He is the God of the downpour and the flood. When God flooded the earth he even destroyed all the creeping reptiles that hid in the earth in the days of Noah. In this time and season God is flooding our lives and taking care of all hidden things we may have kept aside, hidden and buried. Things that resisted His move and things that compromised His purpose in our lives…………the flood is coming……a disastrous flood of the Holy Spirit.
Again, our God is a God of extremes. We should not get offended by His extremes. When David moved the Ark of God, God struck Uzzah for reaching out his hand to only protect and steady the ark.
2 Samuel 6:6-8 NLT
[6] But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand and steadied the Ark of God.
[7] Then the LORD's anger was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him dead because of this. So Uzzah died right there beside the Ark of God.
8] David was angry because the LORD's anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez-uzzah (which means "to burst out against Uzzah"), as it is still called today.
When Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit they paid with their lives. They were extremely generous and only held onto a tiny bit......that’s an extreme visitation and move of God! (Acts chapter 5).
Question is what downpour of God’s Spirit do we want? The safe comfortable drizzle that refreshes and is great or the saturated downpour flooding downpour of the Holy Spirit in our lives? My prayer to the Lord is total surrender. My prayer is that he consumes every part of me with His holy fire and that my life will reflect only what heaven desires. I pray that my life will be flooded like the trenches of Elijah’s sacrificed and completely consumed by the fire of heaven! I pray that I will be ready for the coming devastating storm of the Holy Spirit to flood my life that drowns everything which is not of God and revives everything which is of God! My prayer is that your heart gets stirred in this way too by the life giving Spirit of God igniting peoples hearts and minds by His holy fire !
We cannot hold on to the tiny comforts, compromises and crutches of the past and unholy relationships of the present. We cannot continue to make mountains of molehills when we know God is greater than any mountain we face. We cannot still have a problem with tithes and offerings and rebelling against church leadership. Flow with your church
leadership or leave peacefully with integrity
and join were the Lord leads you.
Complaining and negative speech will not be part of the church the Lord is raising at this time. God institutes church authority. More buildings will be flooded with souls in this season as ever seen before. Churches being fluid in the hands of God will expand in church buildings to equip the saints in the army of God.
We are entering a time of extreme visitations and holiness with the ordinary being removed. Authenticity will be shining brighter than before in all spheres.
We are entering in a season of extreme moves and visitations of God. In this move God will not conform to our theology with our lack of experience....instead He will demand surrender and fluidity in His hands. We will be amateurs in the new instead of experts in the old.....this is a new season.
The church is God’s institution and God is retaking, resetting and relaunching His church and preparing it for the greatest harvest history has ever witnessed.
