I just finished reading a book by John Crowder
called, Seven Spirits Burning. I thought it was a great book and I’m
glad to see his message going out to a larger audience. Brother Crowder has a
wonderful passion for the Truth. God is using him and the elect for many different
reasons, and at different times. There are specific reasons for everything
that God does even if we don't always understand them. His chosen ones, or "the elect" as the apostles Paul calls the believers in Christ, are bringing forth
His truth, nature, power, wisdom and the knowledge of God in order to restore and establish God's plan.
The Kingdom of God is coming to planet earth, whether people like it or not. God's timing is perfect and so is the way it is done. It will be accomplished by all of His sons and daughters taking steps of faith.
Some people seem to blossom early in life
while others are still waiting. I’m sure there are many readers who wonder why
they have not experienced some things John Crowder talks about in his books, The New Mystics. Just as I do
when I see and listen to Sheldon David. Yet, I believe all God's sons and
daughter will experience something special as we continue to abide in Him. This is just
the beginning of a new movement of God.
God does not ignore our hunger or our prayers, it's
just a matter timing. There are also some who still have areas that need maturing. Yet, we all have a lot more to
learn, and no one has all the answers, except God. The heavenly Father desires to reveal more of His nature and heart as we yield more of ourselves to Him. In the meantime we rest in His Shalom, and do whatever we can by taking steps of faith.
Do you realize that the Father doesn't want us to act like His slaves, that only do things when they are told? Neither are we to act like
puppets that only move when He does. We are His sons, friends and joint heirs to the Kingdom. As maturing sons and daughters, He wants us to start making decisions based on faith, and He will back
us up. Now that's operating in true
Sonship, and that's what God desires to see from all of us.
This month will be my third year writing
articles on this Blog sites. And to be honest with you, I thought like maybe some of you, that certain things would have progress much faster than what I have seen or experienced. Sometimes, I felt like the preacher who keeps talking about the impending "Rapture" that never happens.
However, almost two years ago the Lord did tell Sheldon and I
that we were born for such a time as this, and that we were not to
despise small beginnings. And so we have had to adjust our thinking and trust in His timing.
Things are dramatically changing in the spiritual realm even though we may not realize it. But, everyday that passes we are building (establishing) something special, either through
our actions, words, or our prayers, our trust and especially our relationship with the
Father. And that relationship is by far the most important thing, not His gifts or anointing that many have desired more. (I have had to reevaluate my own thoughts
and motives many times.)
Nearly every major event in history started from
small beginnings and this next movement of God is proving to be no different. Just look at what we saw happen in
the Arab Nations and other countries last year that started with small beginnings. The United States will also see major changes, including the political
system in this next election. Everything will change and this movement of God, the Visitation of the Father, will come to pass. There will be many signs, wonders and miracles that will come through true Sonship that is being established by the Heavenly Father.
"For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God." (Romans 8:19)
Note: I enjoy writing and expressing God’s heart. The article on forgiveness was especially challenging for me and it needed better editing. (Sorry about that, I'll try to do better.) I fixed them and clarified some things. Anyway there is more I would like to say on that subject as well as on our identity in Christ in future articles. Also, thank you again for your patients and for your continued support. May God always bless you abundantly in every way.
