We need a bona fide, otherwise unexplainable move of the Spirit desperately among us & in our churches but it waits on the other side of our rediscovery of what saints of previous generations called tarrying before the Lord. I just don’t think He’s much into instant messaging.
We no longer wait on the Lord. We leave the Lord to wait on us. I do not say this with condemnation as I have learned almost everything the hardest possible way but I often hear people say they awaken in the AM & scroll through social media while their head’s still on the pillow.
I just have 3 words to say to that:
what the heck???
The God who spoke all creation into existence by the mere force of His voice wants to speak to His people. He wants to be with us each in the secret places. Wants to tell us the truth before the world hits us with lies.
I don’t know any other way to say this and I’m aware this makes me sound like the worst curmudgeon but the best part of serving God is actually God himself. Being with Him alone. We’ve lost this. We think the best part is Him equipping us to smack down our theological opponents.
I don’t believe the Spirit will move powerfully among us individually or corporately until we learn to still ourselves before Him. To give Him our most precious limited resource: our time. To not just drive thru but dine with Christ in the Scriptures. Pray.Anyway, good AM, y’all.
