“Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died.”
What the world may call a tomb God has called a womb. God’s power is reflected in our weakness.
As in the resurrection Jesus arose clothed in glory and strength. Weaponised and deadly and with a sound of victory.
Scripturally many illustrations of victory and glory are preceded by death as in the grain of wheat.
Transformation is brought about by being stripped back allowing reformation. Jesus did what He saw His Father do.
“So Jesus said, “I speak to you eternal truth. The Son is unable to do anything from himself or through his own initiative. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same works as his Father.”
Submission is our greatest redeemer. We live from revelation then and not independence. In the image of God and with the mind of Christ.
The spin on that is as Desmond Tutu is quoted to have said. “How wonderful it is to look round at so much diversity in us all to know it reflects God’s diversity too.”
When revelation is unveiled for us it is like a key unlocking God’s words in our minds.
Fear of the Lord, Fear of God prevents us from becoming consumers and self serving.
Instead it brings us to our knees to seek His Will and approval.
Self serving is dead works which leave a stench in His nostrils. Living works give out a perfumed aroma into the atmosphere.
Although God is sovereign He chose to work through us. Communication is key and requires prayer. Prayerlessness is a sin.
“Never stop praying. Whatever happens, always be thankful. This is how God wants you to live in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus spent much of His time on earth praying. He is our role model. Where we see prayer in practice we see God moves. Out of all that the disciples witnessed Jesus doing they only asked Him to teach them one thing and that was how to pray. They perceived its underpinning power in their Master’s life.
In engaging in prayer our faith level immediately goes up. We get to know Jesus as we speak to Him and as we encounter we want to spend increasing time, in the secret place with Him, as we would any other who we love.
Much prayer, Much power. Little prayer, little power. No prayer, no power.
“But when you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father. He is there in that private place. He can see what is done in private, and he will reward you.”
What you value you make time and space for. When you don’t pray you become prey!
There is a new desperation in people of all generations to see God move. Hence a time for church to rise up as we have what is needed.
Desperation can only be met by one thing. By walking as, in the days of Pentecost, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
There is a pent up demand for a fresh release of what God wants to do in alignment with what people want Him to do. We are well ready to burst forth with His Spirit.
Historic moves of God in any region is when thousands converge and outpour Him.
Moves of God were never intended to stop but to move on and on from glory to glory. Angels of revival have been left awaiting our awakening to again take hold of ownership and step back into acceleration and into expectation of the incredible.
A mighty move of God wants to pick up where it left off. The sound will be a familiar one when it is heard. The reverberations of. “so will I .”
The illustration shows the tomb in the hand of God. With Christ about to resurrect. Also as a womb to birth the power God intends next emanating light that pushes back the darkness.
