New Spiritual Movement

There is no doubt that a new spiritual movement is happening & evolving in the earth today.

We are living in perilous times. The world is in chaos and confusion. The things that we held dear yesterday mean absolutely nothing in today's society.

Close your eyes & picture this scene. There is no MORAL CODE. Things that were once a shame and hidden from society are now publicly celebrated. What we once considered unimaginable and horrible are now commonplace. Our world from the past has gone haywire.

Most Bible-believing Christians are so mixed in with the culture of the world that the power and anointing of God is no longer visible nor available. Pastors, preachers, Sunday School teachers, ministries, are all into blending into the culture instead of transforming the culture. No longer do you hear any correction or warning to the people to repent and return. No Respect! No Honor! No Gratitude! No Justice! (take a big breath and let it all out)

It is within this description that there is an unrest happening across the land in the heart of the REMNANT of God's people. Frustrations, dis-satisfaction with the way we do church, a longing for the days of Acts to return is what most THINK will change the way things are today.

Unfortunately, the believers of the book of Acts were being set on fire, and losing their lives, being crucified all for the cause of Christ. I'm not sure that today's believers could hold up under these extreme situations. We are a "I want it right now," generation.

The Lord spoke to me today and said, "LouEllen, if you are looking to minister to people all the time you are not ministering to Me." He went on to say, "When you give yourself all away to others there is nothing left for your time with me and our relationship."

I begin to ponder this and realized that what the Lord God was saying was so true. We think it is always about the "work of the Lord," but even Jesus knew that without that intimate relationship with His heavenly Father, He could do nothing.

I just want to say to someone (s) today. It does take work as a servant but all work and no relational time with Jesus produces a bunch of frenzied signs and wonders seekers, who see demons on every side.

We need BALANCE in the Kingdom of God to complete the tasks and assignments He has given to us.

More importantly it takes INTIMACY with Him first and foremost. Have you spoken and talked to Him today? Stop talking about all the things you are accomplishing for Him and instead FOCUS on Loving on Jesus, our heavenly Father and the precious Holy Spirit. If you are seeking the "things" which includes your ministry, then you are NOT focusing on Him.

Is anybody out there who hears what the Spirit is saying through this? I pray so! leh
