All of us have faced times when we have cried out to God, and come to the conclusion that God has forgotten us. We know He is there, but we’re not seeing our prayers answered, or we’re not feeling His presence. The disciples of Jesus felt this way, and even Jesus Himself felt abandoned by His Father. However, we now know that behind the scenes, God was orchestrating the most important event for all of mankind. It wouldn’t be seen with natural eyes, nor heard with natural ears, but everything was changing for the benefit of those whom God loved. Hallelujah! We are living on the other side of the cross. On the other side of the empty tomb. Jesus is risen! He is not dead, and He will never be silent! And neither shall we be, for we were once dead, but now we are alive in HIM!
Hosanna to the King of kings! Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a man, or is He your everything? For without Him we will never be secure, or satisfied or complete. With Him, we can do all things as more than conquerors and take this land we have been assigned. Our authority is given us as children of the Most High God. We are children of God, and if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Our life must revolve around Him with gratitude for what He has done. Worship aligns our heart to what He deserves. Let us glorify Him and enjoy Him as King.
We know that revival and transformation for others, for regions, for our city, and even nations, is in the heart of God right now. But it won’t come without passionate prayer. We have been praying, but have we been seeking personal revival to bring transformation? Functioning in the spirit realm, bringing heaven to earth, is not only available every day, but is available to every believer, every day. When we decide to be ALL IN, and to seize everything God has made available to us, then we will see revival in us, and transformation in others around us.
How can the un-revived bring revival? There has to be a personal revival first. And that kind of revival comes when people are praying for GOD more than they are praying for what they want from God. God has assigned us to be more than just church goers, or people that know how to have faith for the things we need. He has assigned us to be governing voices that are not only awakened to their real purpose, but speaking into the darkness spiritual truths that will shake things back into divine order. But often we don’t understand it is spiritual activity that comes FIRST before the natural activity responds. We must set ourselves in position before Him, to hear Him, to line up with His will, and to then obey His guidance and watch what HE will do.
We need to be the mouthpieces of God that He has made us to be, because eternity is knocking and we don’t know when it will call. We need to carry the heart of the LORD for His people and be driven to be the light and the salt in our world. To walk in our real identity as children of the King, we must turn to God and let the power of the Holy Spirit empower us. Every age group needs those that will be bold and tell the truth under the power of the Holy Spirit, and to be led to those who are ready and ripe for the harvest!
Jesus gave His all for all. There is no partiality with God. He is ready and willing to give to every person an experience that changes their life. The New Testament church is the way He chose to bring that experience and encounter to the world. The church of Jesus Christ is the hope of the world.
Believers who are passionately pursuing Jesus and His kingdom are moving the needle within culture. Those who will no longer compromise, no longer give up when things are challenging, fully engaging in their purpose of showing forth the complete work of Christ on the earth! We are in amazing times and the church is shifting into demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus both in word and action. Will you be a part?
God is raising up his people to live in a different dimension of the Spirit. He is calling us to SHIFT into something that looks different, sounds different, and acts different. We are about to shift into life again. It's time to SHIFT!
God is completely devoted to you. If you will receive this truth, you will be able to receive the revelation of who you are, a person fashioned to walk in greatness! His devotion is ever present to move you. To transform you. To bring forth the original DNA of God inside of you. You can operate in confidence that God is working through you because you are an extension of Him.
God our Father has demonstrated that He is totally devoted to us, His children. He created us with gifts and abilities, and we have great value in His eyes. And if we are created in His image, we have the same ability to be devoted to Him! When we understand and settle this in our hearts, we can be secure in His love, we will be devoted lovers of Him, and we will be dangerous to the lovers of the world!
