We Must Become The Protagonists of Change
Several years ago as I was contemplating an invitation to minister as a guest in another house, Holy Spirit spoke to me that the title of my first ministry session with them was to be “Living on the Verge In the Land of Almost”.
This occurrence was unusual because I rarely title any message and this conversation with Yahweh was about six months before I was to travel to meet with them. It became obvious that this ministry time and message were very much on the heart of Yahweh.
The crux of the message was that the Charismatic movement had conditioned us to become a people who look forward to the next big event or experience without the recognition of the responsibility to live daily in the Spirit so as to bring the Kingdom of Yahweh to a mature expression through our lives and in our time.
This mindset creates a people who do not “rise up” into a place in which they are Yahweh’s glory in the earth but instead constantly wait for Yahweh to “break through” for them, thus remaining a hopeful yet immature people.
In no way is this to suggest that we revert back to the Evangelical model in which we do what we do “for God” but rather that we recognize the power and authority that are in our lives since Holy Spirit is resident within us!
Yahweh’s word is as powerful when spoken through our lips as when the Apostle Paul spoke in New Testament times.
WE, THEREFORE, MUST BECOME THE PROTAGONISTS IN OUR OWN CHANGE!
A certain amount of change is, of course, inevitable. Time continues to move and we age and react to the variety of experiences that “continuing to live” presents to us.
The life and earth shaping change, however, will require effort, commitment and faithfulness to achieve. We must hear Yahweh’s word and by Holy Spirit’s enabling power, dedicate ourselves to bringing this word and its resulting change to a reality.
2011 is here! Are there areas in your life in which Yahweh is requesting change? Is there something that He is asking you to establish in the earth? Have you been “putting up with” troubles that are, in actuality, meant to be underneath your feet?
In large part 2011 will be what you cause it to be. Ready? Set? CHANGE!
