I Can See Clearly Now

Sunday, January 08, 2006

Great time together today in God's house. Jesus is alive and speaking to His Church about all he has purposed to achieve as we do His word. Now our job is to align ourselves with God's word so that His purpose will be fulfilled. Steve Wilkins spoke well from the illustration of Israel's change from wilderness walking to Promised Land dwelling and hit on seven key points. Two points that struck me were changing the way we drink and changing the way we eat. Moses struck a rock to quench Israel's thirst, but we now have "streams of living water" that are perpetual refreshment for us to fulfill God's purpose and that we need to go from times of crisis drinking to a life style of Holy Spirit saturation. Secondly, manna was maintenance food with no seed in it, but in the Promised Land people had to begin to feed themselves as God empowered them to conquer. Steve's word to us was both affirming and challenging. The Holy Spirit also powerfully ministered to a few people as His gifts were manifested. It really was a terrific morning together. Now we have all this week to walk it out....!

  • Good stuff Todd...
    I've heard Steve do this before (totally awesome) and was also struck by the point about food. God does not want us in maintenance mode indeed!
