I have not done a blog post in some time. The blog-o-sphere is overrun and without a whole lot of bells and whistles, many blogs go unread. It is easier to do a v-log (video-log ).
This morning, however, while still in my jammies, I had a very distinct impression from the Lord that I wanted to communicate quickly. A v-log was out of the question, let the reader understand.
The Puddles Shall Become A Stream
This past Friday night we held our first “First Friday” gathering for the community surrounding our house of prayer. Earlier in the day, our staff had profound encounters with the Lord to the degree that, by the time the evening meeting came, many were still “under” the weighty Presence of God. And this bled into our gathering. I will not go into the details of the night, that is not the point of this blog. However, I will say that in the Spirit I felt a distinct shift. Not for us only, but for the community in the RVA (Richmond, Virginia) area. It may be beyond these boundaries, I am not sure, but I do know it was for the our region. Something changed…
This morning during breakfast I saw in the Spirit puddles of God’s Presence. They were representative of various churches and gatherings of those who have been seeking the God of “The More”. These are those that God has sent a spirit of divine dissatisfaction to in order to produce a groan so deep that the desire for other things would fade into oblivion. Nothing became more important than to Host His Presence. Titles, self importance, our need to “move things along”, to make a name for ourselves, ALL the idols of our hearts fell down and the ground, once covered with “all of us” became dry as the need for “all of Him” became clear. I then saw the rain of His Spirit falling on these hungry groups which were in various locations throughout the area. They encountered unusual manifestations of the Spirit AS the hunger level rose and puddles were created. I then heard the Lord say —
“The puddles shall become a stream”
I saw the puddles in each of these places begin to rise to the point that they connected with one another and the water of His Presence kept coming until the puddles which linked together became a rushing stream. I then heard the Lord say:
“the term ‘come to this meeting or that meeting to experience the glory’ will become a thing of the past – Larger city meetings will become the OVERFLOW of what I am doing in the region as the puddles become a stream”
This will be the manifestation of the “nameless and faceless” because the LORD OF HOSTS will move and it will not be about the name of this person or that person or this ministry or that because Jesus shall be lifted up in that hour. ——-
DIVINE DISSATISFACTION
Friends, we are still very much in the beginning phases of this. There is a divine dissatisfaction being poured out. Do not mistake it for something to be delivered from or something to manage or ignore, Let the groan inside lead you to the All Sufficient One. In this lies the key to His rising in our lives and in our communities. He ALWAYS pours out on the dry and thirsty ground.
So, let us seize the day by yielding to the deep stirring. Allow the dryness to take its course. He will come.
May the Lord of All Glory come swiftly,
