HE WANTS TO WALK YOU TO YOUR MIRACLE

Throughout the majority of miracles recorded in Scripture, God’s responses were rarely instantaneous. Rather, He always dug deeper to ask probing questions and challenge peoples’ faith. Why? Because He is not satisfied in being our Miracle Maker. He wants to be Lord. He longs for us to seek Him on a continual basis and not merely presume upon His power.

Decreeing and declaring God’s promises has its place, but it should never replace a sensitivity to His voice and a willingness to change course on the journey. In many of these examples, God was not focused on their breakthrough, but was looking to establish their faith, deepen their love, and build them up as mighty warriors for His purpose. The miracles simply followed as the result of their obedience. 

When we allow Him to walk us to our miracle we are shown His true nature and a depth of fellowship that is otherwise inaccessible. He may not give us our breakthrough on a silver platter, but He will refine our hearts as pure gold. He will use our need as a means to a greater end. Because in seeking our miracle, we will end up finding Him. And that’s the breakthrough HE’S looking for.

    THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

    I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

    A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

    This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.

    PERCEPTIONS ARE BEING TWISTED

    Due to what is at stake in these current scandals and controversies, this demonic twisting spirit is operating at full power. The enemy is inserting himself into these situations to cause perceptions and perspectives to be skewed and void of integrity. Regardless of what “side” you are on, I guarantee the enemy is at work. Statements are being made to mean one thing and they are being received as something different. Unless we are aware of this, we will make assumptions and determine a meaning that is only half true.

    WE CANNOT PARTNER WITH THIS SPIRIT

    Not everyone who operates in this spirit intentionally wants to lead people astray. Not everyone who is labeled a Jezebel is even aware of their partnership with her. Though there are a few who deliberately choose to rebel against the Lord and refuse to repent, there are also others who are unaware of their own deception. Jezebel blinds her slaves, and many who partner with her have no idea they are puppets in her hands. I know this because I used to be one of them.

    AN APPEAL TO THE TEACHERS AND PROPHETS

    As much as prophets need to carefully examine their encounters and revelations with scriptural integrity, teachers must view their doctrines through eyes of faith and a personal belief in the supernatural. And as much as the prophetic movement needs to evaluate some of its faith practices and messaging that have gotten off track, so must those who teach be willing to go where their understanding can’t reach and their arguments don’t work. Yes, we need to be grounded in the Word. But without faith in things unseen, we will only be bound to rules that carry no power.

    Crying in the Corner

    My son, Steven, was three years old when he contracted a severe case of the flu. His slumped body snuggled listlessly in my lap like a worn-out rag doll. When I carried him into the medical clinic, the doctor took one look at my boy and sent us straight to the hospital. Steven was dehydrated and needed fluids immediately. My heart ripped wide when the nurses taped a support board to Steven’s little arm and inserted the needle for the IV. Read more...
