Although we experience
different trials and circumstances, and God uses all for our benefit,
many of us are in the same season. Some have been believing and
waiting for answers and results for a long time! God is now bringing
many situations and circumstances to a CONCLUSION! These are
entering their 'Final Act' as HE draws the curtain on them! You'll
see the changes you have prayed for, those mountains will suddenly
and swiftly become smaller and even disappear! Such simple solutions
that could only be from the Lord! You'll be left wondering, why you
never noticed what was happening before!
SPIRITUAL CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION also brings us to a
certain level of growth and maturity in spiritual things. God has
consistently been working with us and in us to bring about changes.
Conclusion of a process is reached through reasoning over a time
period.
Many have gone through deep
waters during this season of Testing and ACCELERATION. HE has done a
DEEP work within through reasoning and. HE is now drawing this part
of your spiritual growth to a close. In CONCLUSION there is always
one who has the Final word and draws your attention to specifics. In
this instance it is the Lord who has spoken and is now turning your
head to a different view! He has shared HIS thoughts, reasoned with
you regarding the IMPORTANCE of VITAL changes and propelled you to a
new direction!
CONCLUSION brings
understanding of meaningful changes that have taken place during the
past season. Those who have pressed in and surrendered, have moved
into a new season in their walk. Some even Promoted to another level!
MOVING FORWARD in the will
of God (Isaiah 45)
We are once again invited to
align our lives with HIS will. This will require sacrifice and
obedience, but the end result will be better than we expect!
Ephesians 3:20New King James Version (NKJV)
20Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Ephesians 3:20-21The Message (MSG)
20-21God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
A heart after God understands
how essential it is that we lay down our expectations and allow HIS
will to be done. What is on HIS heart must take priority over our
desires.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33 - The Message (MSG)
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Seeking HIS righteousness is
the act of cooperating with HIM daily, since righteousness is only
found in HIM. And so are we!
1 Corinthians 1:30New King James Version (NKJV)
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
1 Corinthians 1:30-31The Message (MSG)
26-31Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That’s why we have the saying, “If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.”LOCATE YOURSELF
It is Time to locate yourself
in the WORD and understand the task ahead...You may not find your
name but you are there since you have always been in the mind of God
and HE went to so much trouble to put together HIS word (logos),
filled with all you will ever need! He may lead some, one step at a
time. Others may already understand who they are and their mission.
All have a mission and none are alike. I see many moving forward,
almost to the front of the classroom to receive their specific
blueprint from the 'Teacher'.
John the Baptist located
himself in the word and went on to do it (Matthew 3:3) (Isaiah 40:3).
King Josiah located himself in
the word and answered the call by doing what the word said (1Kings
13) (2Kings 22) (2Chronicles 34).
Paul located himself in the
word and went on to fulfil destiny (Isaiah 49:6) (Acts 13:46-47).
If Jesus was fully man then he
could not have known who he was, neither would he remember where he
came from just as we don't. Those same thoughts you experienced as
you began to understand your true identity would be what went through
his mind, as he became aware of his destiny! Even though his mother
had told him he was special, he would still have to find out for
himself! It was most likely when he read the scriptures in Isaiah
that he realised HE was the one!
ACTION REQUIRED
You need to act on it and stop
waiting for something to happen! Begin walking out the plan...We see
in Hebrews 11 that every one of the household of faith had to take a
step of faith.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
James 2New King James Version (NKJV) Faith Without Works Is Dead
14What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Forgone CONCLUSION
The end result of your
Assignment is a foregone conclusion! Many things seem unsure but you
need to know that in CHRIST they are a Certainty! Regardless of
what happens you are more than a Conqueror, you have the Victory and
Triumph always! HE has written the end from the beginning and you
just have to get on the road and walk it out! Every story has an
ending and yours is beautiful! You have many new chapters to
write...2018 is definitely not going to be boring!
Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Isaiah 64:4-7The Message (MSG)
Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.
As I asked Father for
direction for 2018 HE directed me to Isaiah. One morning I clearly
saw Isaiah 45, which I then began to study. Later while looking at
Isaiah 64 I noticed that both chapters refer to the making and
forming of the clay by the potter.
To ensure that you have what
is intended for you, you will need to remain in intimacy with HIM.
Since it was HIS hands that
formed you, only HE knows the potential and purpose within each
vessel that still lies undiscovered.
This constant reminder of 'all
that you are being in his hands' clearly implies the path ahead will
require greater reliance on HIM. I sense the Lord is saying You are
Mine and you KNOW where your attention should be! I sense God
displaying possessiveness for what is HIS. This implies that He does
not get the attention He requires.
So, as you move forward into
your 2018 adventure with your given assignment, abide in HIM in far
greater measure and it will be measured back to you!
ABUNDANCE
I heard the sound of
helicopters, the whirring sound that is most often associated with
music or movies about the Vietnam war (China Beach). Most of us are
familiar with this sound. It represented only Good Things for the
soldiers! Rescue, Provision, Home and so much more.
As I listened the Lord began to point out to me how, when you are in a location where there is a particular sound and you have to listen to it all the time, occasionally, you will still hear it even if you are on the other side of the world. It is a sound that sometimes stays with you. There are some sounds that must remain with you wherever you are! As I listened I continued to hear the helicopter sound, hear the sound of the Abundance of rain, hear the sound of the Abundance of Blessing, hear the sound of the Abundance of Provision.....HEAR THE SOUND OF ABUNDANCE COMING!
