““‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;”
When we hunger for God we gain our greatest freedom because we surrender and accept His invitation to live in obedience. From there He sets us up for His big moves. To come together in unity. To gain access to the heaven and earth gateways and connections to holy interactions, the Bethel places of His presence.
Jesus is the narrow gate to a wider horizon. Places of open heaven to be sensed and experienced.
God is everywhere but there are furnaces where He is visibly noticeable like a burning bush when we have time and connection to stop and see.
God has a visitation all presence and a habitation presence where He is captured and known.
We as His people are those who prepare the way for His presence to be known and experienced. We have the discernment and guidance of alignment with the Holy Spirit.
We believe that there is a time when He will pour out His spirit on all flesh because we believe God will do what He says He will do. As we come up higher there is a divine transformation.
It is as if we have been sleep walking and therefore not functioning at our best.
As with Jairus’s daughter, Jesus can raise us.
“Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
The enemy tries to rob from us when we are lethargic and only half awake.
We are compromised.
“He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”
Jesus is there ready to overwhelm and bless us when we are fully awake for Him and prepared to launch out into the deep instead of just testing the waters.
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.”
We are to be those who prepare a way of faith. Point to the testimonies of what God is doing right now to open the eyes and raise up an army of believers.
The illustration shows the call to wake up to emanate light to push back the darkness.
Four Scriptures that come to mind:
“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;”
“Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
“He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24-25 ESV
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.”Philippians 3:14-15 ESV
