I am excited.
A few weeks ago I had this picture where I saw houses being turned upside-down and being rebuilt from the inside, but everything inside the house was upside-down.
This may not sound very encouraging but I was greatly encouraged because it was a good thing. Although things seemed upside down it was actually the right way up. And as I write this I remember something Bill Johnson talked about at one of the Manifest Presence conferences a couple of years ago and correct order of apostolic government and how it was a different model than that of the world where things are dominated from the top down, but instead this model was a model of servanthood serving, an upside-down model compared to that of the world. And like Jesus rode a donkey and yet He was king, not lording over people as the world does, but coming from a position of humility and love for others. And so this excites me that 'the church' as a whole and as individuals is coming into, I believe the correct order of Gods governmental plan of servanthood and a love that lays down its life for another in order to see others fly, no matter what the cost to ourselves, because of His great love for us. And because of this, we are going to see His Kingdom manifest here on Earth as it is in heaven, His Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy.
I know though when things are turned upside down we don't know where we are at or what we are doing and in this place of change we need to keep our eyes on Jesus and he will guide us through it. A few years ago I had this picture and it was of going through a mine field but I was blind, but there was someone there directing me. I had to listen to the voice in order to get through without being harmed. And I believe this is what it may feel like for some that you that you feel like you are going through a bit of a mine field where you are unsure of your steps, but not to be concerned about that because he is navigating you through it as you listen out to the voice of the Holy Spirit, even though you can't see where you are going, and he will lead you through into wide open spaces.
There are things we need to learn and one of those things in my picture was listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Through this time of change there are things God wants to teach us and retrain us in areas whatever those areas we may be and for each one of us they will be different, but his desire is that we would be a bride that is fully equipped not lacking anything so that we are equipped for every good work as it says in James. James 1:2 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
I believe the Lord has some amazing stuff for us as his bride like never before and I am excited so in this process of things feeling like they are perhaps are upside down, be encouraged that Gods Kingdom is being established on the Earth.
