The voices of many are crying in the wilderness, these days... "There's a move of God here, there's a move of God there... The anointing is here, the anointing is there..."! Where is a person to turn?
Sincere hunger and thirst for the truth of God's overwhelming presence abound. All we want is to be found in His presence, bearing the fruit of His Word. I have learned a supremely valuable lesson in life, and it is one that I hope to be able to relay to others in the way that I believe the Lord has given it to me... and that is this: The fullness of God's presence is not ever meant to hold on to; you must find a place where your fullness is continually poured out into the lives of hurting, searching, lost humanity. Your local church is that place.
You cannot chase a river that is within you! It happens to you when the Holy Spirit of God dwells inside of you; God's Spirit, which is His presence, will flow directly from God's throne continually and directly through you! You are ultimately connected with the very throne room of God for healing, refreshing, for blessing and revival, renewing as it is needed, and for life in absolute abundance. It moves as there is a need, because Jesus meets the needs of people. I don't ever want to have my head so caught up in the clouds that I am out of touch with the needs of others; Jesus was always surrounded by people with needs, most likely because Jesus met the needs of people, and they realized it. He always had a word in season for those who were weary. It happened through the continually moving river of God that flowed through Him. Love that flowed from God's very throne room through Christ, to people He came in contact with, was non-stop.
Become a river of refreshing to people in your own life. Watch how God deliberately sends people to you... not people who already have it all together... whatever that means; but people who NEED MORE of Jesus. You will not have to "move" to a river, if the river is moving through you. God has a peculiar use for you. You are unique and made deliberately the way He not only wanted you to be, but needed you to be, and places you strategically in the place that will allow the most outflow of His river. It is a river of love; a river of mercy and compassion that swings wide the gates of healing and miracle working power! I don't want to be in His river... I want His river to be in me. The river of God is one that teems with life giving joy to a hurting, dying world; the lost! People who are far from God.
Ask: Am I guilty of making things happen, because God doesn't seem to be moving fast enough for me? Am I moving with God or on my own?
Words to Live By: If you believe in Me, come and drink! For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water will flow out from within! John 7:38
