Exodus 14:21 NKJV
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.A tree on which the wind has blown mightily may seem unusual in appearance, since it leans permanently in the direction it has been blown. Even the leaves grow or hangs unusually.
Although it appears as though it may one day fall, it is only leaning in and flowing in the direction of the WIND. Hidden roots which run strong and deep, anchor it to hold this 'position'.
God will send a wind that will blow and change the landscape of our hearts. Look at a desert landscape today, tomorrow it will have completely changed if the wind blows while you are asleep. Today you are able to identify where you are by landmarks such as dunes, but in the morning, the landscape will have a different appearance. Those landmarks you looked to for direction, will no longer be there. You will not know from which direction you came or where you are going!
Clearly there are worldly structures and systems in place in our lives that we rely on a little too much. The wind is about to remove and rearrange. Many will soon understand that you can survive without being dependent on certain systems and you can live without them.
We have a Divine Compass that we are to look to and lean on for guidance and direction, at this time and always! Are you leaning on HIM enough or do you live in a worldly comfort zone where you attain much in your own strength? Too much of the wrong kind of support only makes us less dependent on our Father.
The Bride is being prepared. This mighty wind will bring some into a place of greater dependence on HIM alone! It is often when we appear to be losing in the natural that we are gaining spiritually! As this WIND begins to blow in our natural landscapes and circumstances, we must never fear or despise the work that is taking place in our lives and we must remember that HE restores!
The Lord began to impress on me that HIS people still have hidden places, deep roots in things that they don't want to let go of. The Lord showed me that these unyielded areas of our lives are like distant and dry lands. So hidden that they are surrounded by darkness with only a little light.
They appear as very distant cities with little night light and are therefore not easily seen. These are those things that go unnoticed, even to you. This is where HE wants to bring change.
Many do not know how to change the way they feel, but it is only a matter of surrendering your heart to HIM and allowing HIM to make the changes! It is the power of God that works within us to will and to act according to HIS plan and purpose that we might be transformed into the likeness of Christ.
Philippians 2:13 NKJV
13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
You see it is already accomplished in HIM and it is only you that has to move into place. God is blessed when we claim our birthright by co-operating with HIM.
Psalm 37:4 NKJV
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart
I feel the Lord is saying that some need to come to a place now, where they understand that walking with HIM is a place of serious commitment. Something we should never take lightly since HE does not. It is important to understand that it does mean sacrifice and not partaking of many things the world offers.
The place of signs and wonders is an empty one! It is devoid of comfort and logic to the natural man, because it is the UNSEEN and unnatural. It is the NOTHINGNESS from which HE emerges in FULLNESS to unveil the things we Hope for, the evidence of our faith!
To go to this place willingly, our inner landscape has to first change. Surrender to the workings of the spiritual WIND in every part of you.
It is the WIND of the Spirit that fans the flames of the FIRE already burning in us, to a lesser or greater extent! For some the fire is small and must be ignited and for others a redirecting and positioning must take place.
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
By consuming you HE makes room for HIMself.
When the WIND of the Spirit begins to blow on us mightily, we take on a unique shape. We begin to stand out without even trying! The Master Loves to display what only HE can do! He wants to work in you so that HE can display you! As you allow the Mighty WIND of God to change your landscape from within, your outer landscape will take on a different appearance as it too is rearranged!
God Bless
