This is the lull before the storm

DISCONTENT ABOUT BEING CONTENT
Last week, with my mind engaged in my job, which is nonspiritual by any stretch of the imagination, my train of thought was interrupted. Out of the spirit came a personal message to me and to many others who have been internally feeling a little ill-at-peace with what seems to be a season of apathy. Lately, it's as there is no fire for intercession; no great concern over the state of the world or loved ones. Not only that - I've been oddly content in my spirit, though a bit condemned in my mind about it.

INTERUPTED AT WORK
And - so - in the middle of the day, when I was exerting no energy or thought toward hearing Holy Spirit, He chose to speak.

I do love it when He does that. Anyway this is gist of His words. I stopped immediately and tried to capture everything, as I felt those Holy Ghost surges rushing around as I typed.


Dark days are over the horizon and the world is going to desperately need a strong vibrant Christian to help them walk through those days. These days seems like a time of not too much happening; a time when there is no fire for intercession, no burn for souls. It feels almost sinful to be doing so little – but this is the Lord.

This is the time of His preparation.
Not of study – we’ve done that.
Not of soul purging –we’ve done that too.
This is a time of re-supply; a time of drinking and eating to build up strength.
This is a time of learning the rhythm of resting and running and becoming skilled in both.

This is not a day when you are unproductive.
This is a time of gestation; of pregnancy – not of labor pains.
A pregnant woman is only in labor for a short spurt, but she is carrying the child as she eats excessively, sleeps much and makes a home for the new one coming.

This is the time to take care of yourself. But right now, enjoy the peace. Receive. Be refreshed.

You’re going to need your strength soon enough.
Don't fret that you won't be ready and equipped with the power and anointing to slay dragons, to bring life to the dying.

You won't be able to prepare for what is coming through your own efforts. When the time comes, the anointing , the equipment, the power, the words will be there.
