Wind of Love
What a beautiful week it has been seeking the Lord. We have discussed the importance of preparing our hearts to carry His glory. We understand the magnitude of this responsibility and it cannot be approached lightly or casually. Jesus says in John 16:20, “There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment.” Oh, but how He desires to pour out His glory upon His children. Don’t be intimated by the cost, the reward outweighs the sacrifice we make to be the image bearers of Jesus now on earth.
Yesterday in the story we read in Judges, we could see how the Israelites had to change what they did to get the results they knew Yahweh intended for them to have. Truth is if we want more of Yahweh it is going to cost us more covenant. Do you want to hear his voice more? You will have to honestly check your covenant level. What is covenant exactly? Everyone knows it is a commitment between two people but it’s more than that. You bind yourself to one another in a lifelong relationship of faithfulness and devotion.
Are you willing to put yourself in uncomfortable situations or a conversation with the Holy Spirit so you can experience the more He has for you? None of us like awkward conversations or hard conversations but we cannot grow and mature to a place of strength to carry His glory if we refuse to do things differently. What is He asking of you? What area is He wanting to talk to you about?
The Lord has destiny and purpose for each one of us, but he can’t give it to us if we give up so easily on ourselves, others or circumstances. Truth is, I see so many of you putting roots in the ground at The Wilderness Place and the wind of love is blowing and hard things are happening, but you’re committed to what He wants to do. He’s pouring more of His presence out over you. Your Abba is so proud of you. He sees your heart and your efforts to get closer and closer to Him. Let the wind of His love continue to blow over your life. Yes, it stirs things up but that’s ok because He’s helping you get it all in order.
In closing, would you step outside for a few moments today. Close your eyes and feel the wind blow across you and imagine His love blowing through your thoughts, your heart, and situations. Let Him take you where He wants to go.
