Two weeks ago, while walking down a flight of stairs into the room where this ministry holds weekly meetings, I was consumed by God. It became increasingly heavier as I walked to the center of the room where everyone was, and was moving on my inside as well as the outside! All the cares of the day felt just like butter immediately being melted off of my shoulders, and then I was blissed with another heavy dose of God’s sweet intoxication, in and all over me. This is my God, this is His power, His joy, and His presence! This is what I desire, what I’m looking for everywhere I go, and what I want to share in everything I do.
Throughout this site you will find many helpful and informative articles about being able to identify false doctrine, how to become free from bondage, the types of bondage, how to drink in the presence of God, and experience the kingdom of heaven on earth. And it’s good to know these things mentally, but once you get them in your spirit, you’ll lead a different life. If you implant the knowledge of false doctrine in your soul, your spirit will be troubled. If you grow the seed of how to experience the kingdom of heaven, it will produce faith and expectancy in your spirit, but if you remain in a place where the Holy Spirit doesn’t frequent, your spirit will cry out and thirst for quality time and experiences with the Lord.
All over the world, in houses, in hotel meetings, conference centers, in remote places, and in a select few churches, the tangible power and love of God is showing up. There are still healings taking place, accounts of cancer being healed, bones being grown and metal rods or pins disappearing, limbs being grown out to proper length, and supernatural weight loss occurring. There are reports of people levitating, bi-locating, individuals seeing angels and other things of the spiritual realm manifesting in the earth. Daily you can go into a trance, see a vision, dream a dream, give or interpret prophecy. But how many of today’s Christians know about, believe in, and seek after these awesome things of God given by grace to those who believe?
Personally I have never been satisfied with simply serving in the church, attending picnics or concerts, making sure I’m working in a ministry so I can be blessed, and moving on. Scripture talks of miracles, signs, and wonders. I have never attended a church where these things are happening on a regular basis, per example of Jesus’ ministry, and those ministries of His personal disciples and saints after them. It’s not enough to invite someone to a service, and let the preacher give an altar call, maybe they’ll go pray, maybe they won’t, but if they do was it because they fear hell, or want God? After the prayer, how are they grown, are they discipled, or left to enter into the same religious cycle of serving in the church to become a good Christian? Where do you go from claiming your pew and establishing your membership in a local congregation?
We shouldn’t be satisfied walking week in and week out into any service, at any church, where there is not a tangible presence, where God is not moving and working on hearts and lives supernaturally. Its not something we can work up or down, or accomplish at all in the flesh. We cannot fast more, devote more time to prayer, speak in tongues more, do more outreach, or any other effort of our own in order to accomplish what God offers by grace. How many churches today have been fasting for years for revival, for growth, for a touch from God, compared to how many have received supernatural revival?
If God isn’t showing up from the same things we’ve always been doing, then we should rethink our strategy, right? He won’t show up mightily so we can keep doing the same things we’ve always done, our way. He wants us to stop long enough to listen to what He wants, and How He wants it done.
So, back to the original question, what are you looking for? Are you looking for someone to give you a list of do’s and don’ts on how to ride out this life to make it into heaven? You cannot be good enough to make it, none of us were ever worthy, but Jesus said it’s worth it to die, your worth it, so that I can commune with you, make you a new creation, and now it’s been done on your behalf. You will be no more saved in 60 years after serving in the nursery, the outreach, the whatever, then you were the moment you accepted Christ. Those works will do nothing but make you look good in the church, and make your flesh feel good for accomplishing your list of do’s and don’ts, spending 60 years pleasing man and man’s devices. Or are you looking for God, for who He is, what He’s doing, what He wants to do, what He wants to do through you, the real, true, living, moving, powerful God who created you and everything around you?
If you’re looking for God, sometimes that means leaving where you’re at, and even finding out why you are where you are to begin with. Can you simply walk out of your church, organization, or ministry, desiring more of God, though you may miss seeing a few friends or family every service/meeting? Or is there a struggle, or refusal to move, because you’re serving your pastor, the church, your ministry, and you would never disappoint them by leaving. If its about God, you’ll go where He sends you, chase after Him, and His desires. You’ll leave behind dead works and non-development a place of stagnation, unless you’ve been directed to be in a place to resurrect, to seek after the fulfillment of Kingdom works in that place among those people, as we’re told to accomplish in scripture.
Joh 14:12 ”Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
What are you looking for?
