“But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
We have to become aware of a beyond.
In Christ alone shall all else be seen. Everything else is an imposter. God is purging all else .
We have to stop trying to revive what God wants to kill.
Lazarus died but his death created an opportunity for Jesus to reveal something beyond in raising him and pointing to His own resurrection.
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Today there has to be a death first of what is in existence. There has to be a tearing down, destroying and overthrowing before a replanting and growing.
“See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
When we break through that ceiling which is covering and oppressing us heaven will open and we will see the light piercing through and as we cut through and tear back more then we will know the more beyond.
God speaks out what is to be through His prophets and their anointing but increasingly there is a collective connection, a deeper unity and an awareness of what is beyond.
We are all becoming aware that it is important not to desire or attempt to rebuild what God is pulling down but to be led into the beyond.
Our pandemic has created a massive shaking. It has exposed to the light much of what fails and is corrupt. We have put our hope in what is to be new but must have patience in the period of reshaping that He is about.
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Now is a time to “gird up our loins” and contend with, in our prayer, for the ceiling to be broken from the oppression of the enemy to allow Christ’s light to invade.
We are called to partner to keep Jesus centre stage. We are impatient for a quick result and outflowing but all must be made ready to be outflows upon.
We must remain focused, expectant, forward looking on our journey and breakthrough will be released.
He is the Lord our God. He will not give to another what He is doing.
“ Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? “
The illustration shows the ceiling cap of darkness being lifted by the Lord to emanate light and push back the darkness in the world.
