I was reading
in Luke 1 v 42 where it says
Elizabeth (mother of John the Baptist) said to Mary –
You are blessed by God above
all other women and your child is blessed.
What an honour this is that the
mother of my Lord should visit me!
How did
Elizabeth know that Mary in her pregnancy was pregnant with Jesus,
their
Messiah
surely it was only by revelation from God.
And yet she believed it and spoke it out and ……….
it was as she said.
It came to pass -
Mary
did give birth to the Son of God,
the Jew’s Messiah.
And I
was considering that – in the same way
– we have seen by revelation
that it is
no longer the season for the church,
the church system and the church hierarchy
but God is moving in a new season of Kingdom and all that that means.
And we need to hold fast to this revelation.
Have confidence in it and not be swayed
like so many are after a while
thinking -
not much seems to be happening in this new
season
maybe I should look for a church again !!!
We need to walk by faith and remain confident
that we are living the purpose of God in our time
because Hebrews 11 says that
Faith – is the confident assurance
that what we hope for is going to happen.
It
is the evidence of things that we cannot yet see.
And for us we can’t yet see crowds of people
leaving the churches to explore God’s new season of “Kingdom”
but we need to
remain there by faith
seeing God’s times
for His people in this season
and being willing to be there.
Pioneers for something new.
