“You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. “
God can do more in one day of rest than we can do in six days of striving.
God is unlimited and unchanged and we will see more.
Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and God answered His prayer. We must learn to ask big with the expectation that He will fulfill.
We move forward into new and will not revisit revival for that was of the past. Instead we will encompass what He is newly propelling us into in His presence. That will not be a fleeting period but it will be an era that will endure for ever.
The Holy Spirit is purifying the bride so that He can indwell us and be in our midst.
Much is being brought to light, exposed in this awakening and enlightening because we need to be made fit for purpose to be enabled to stand in a perfection.
Where we hate what is not of God and love what is. We need deliverance from that of the world that is in enmity with God .
“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
We have to de-possess one to possess the other. To like and tolerate is a Luke warm that He has no taste for.
“you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.”
We are in the place of giving birth to a purified, righteous church body that He can indwell.
We are forming Christ within us.
He is in a loving, compassionate, intolerant way creating a beautiful new standard to be visible in the world. A standard that can become the Holy Spirits habitat.
“His will on earth as it is in heaven “
A collision of the natural and the supernatural realms. Where His presence will be in us, our homes, churches, communities.
Where like Moses we go only if God’s presence is there.
This is what the world will see and covet. We will no longer want man made programmes there will be a new awareness, authority, originality, boldness.
The tabernacle will regain order only when the Spirit is first.
His intention for us was to dwell in both realms, heaven and earth were our domain. Clothed in His Glory never ashamed and naked.
Separation and our symbiotic relationship with the world are to again cease. The kingdom of the world and the kingdom of Jesus have been at war and scattered.
God desires alignment, goodness and the right influence . A pure and advancing church to pervade. There is healing in the coming together as in the church in Acts.
“Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.”
God is sovereign and will not permit that which is not characteristic of Him to be given His name. There will be a division in those who are nominal and those who are authentic.
We cannot be in neutral. We have to be Light partakers and pushers back of darkness. God’s word cannot go out and not manifest what it has said.
We have faith in His timing, it is perfect. Now is the time of belonging.
As we belong to Him and each other so He will belong to us . We shall stretch out and enlarge to fuller capacity. He takes precedence over ‘ourselves.’ We become one with Him in a new level of intimate union.
The Spirit of God is glorifying Christ.
God’s goal is that the knowledge of His glory will be out poured to fall from above and through each of us now and for ever.
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
God’s goodness cannot be contained. His fame will spread. The gap to be bridged to where He wants to go. To advance and not to return.
Glory evident not on occasions but on a daily basis. Our nakedness will not need covering with anything else but His glory. We are dressed in the armour of light as our new mantle.
“The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light.”
The illustration shows us clothed in Christ. His light poured out and emanating through us to push back the darkness.
Five Scriptures that come to mind:
“You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”James 4:2-4 ESV
“you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;”Psalm 45:7 ESV
“Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.”Acts 8:4-7 ESV
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”Habakkuk 2:14 ESV
“The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light.”Romans 13:12 ESV
