Resuscitation and Resurrection !
Revive and wake up!
Embrace how God is working right now.
See bigger than what we have seen before.
We are even now in revival!
We thought selfishly that revival would be feeling good.
With us first there to the altar call feeling euphoric in God’s outpouring of grace.
Feeling comfort and victory.
We did not expect to hear Him say::
“You will find Me in the confusion”
We did not expect to hear Him say:
“Do not attribute to the enemy what has been from My hand”
We did not expect to hear Him say:
“ I am the only Rock on which you stand”
We did not expect to hear Him say that He would allow chaos to come in all nations for it to be the start of their salvation.
“People will turn to me as they loose self obsessed comfort and familiarity in their lives.”
We did not envisage that God would create holy and divine chaos that would in turn draw over a quarter of the population in the UK alone to come seeking Him on their knees.
Seeking Him on line.
Finding Him in an unexpected way.
Truth being proclaimed and portrayed in a way that we did not expect to find knowledge of God being transmitted through His people.
The violent shock pads conducting electrical volts through the physical heart, to bring the dead to life in the natural.
The touch of God being the hand to bring spiritual life back into the Body.
To revive, resuscitate, wake up, bring back to life.
We have opportunity as the body of Christ.
To become the peace makers, not keepers.
To sign up to battling for what God is accomplishing.
To turn tables on the panic button in our hearts.
To cause pandemonium in the demonic.
To outmatch the enemy.
God will outmatch the enemy and what is his out working in the world has created.
As in Joel 2 it will be turned around.
God is giving us new strategies to corporately overcome fear and force Satan’s hand.
Much as He did with Joshua to fell the walls of Jericho in what seemed an unlikely ploy.
The promised land will be reached.
Jericho will fall for us now.
God is the rock.
He will not allow us to stand on any other substitute.
The illustration shows God’s hand bringing life back into the heart which is no longer beating.
Resuscitating and resurrecting what appears dead.
Re-wiring.
Four scriptures that come to mind:
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.”Joel 2:28 ESV
And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valour.
So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.”Joshua 6:2, 20 ESV
“I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’”Joshua 24:13 ESV
“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods your fathers served.”Joshua 24:14 ESV
