Holy Mess
I am leading my bride, the church, into a season of what might seem like a holy mess. What you see as messy is just organised at a level you do not comprehend, because it’s never been seen before.
The things I am doing are not in your control, so why do you assume you need to tidy and order them? My intricate order, to your mind might seem like disorder. Learn to trust me and follow my lead.
Fall into step with my dance. I will be faithful to lead you. I am calling you closer to me because it is my desire to partner with you.
As I only did what I saw my father doing, so you through my spirit must only do what you see me doing. Give up control and let me lead you in a dance of exquisite complexity that will be a sign and a wonder.
For you to be a part of what I am doing, I need to know you will be obedient to my direction. I have been seeking out people, those resigned to a life of obedience. Fall deeper in love with me and learn to trust me. I will not let you go. I will invite you into the greatest kingdom spectacle, front and centre, eyes on me. It will be a sign and a wonder.
Activation: Do things around you seem chaotic? Do not try to organise them into an order you can grasp hold of. Instead, hand them over to the Lord in prayer. Breath in and remember to trust Him because His ways are perfect and He is trustworthy. Ask the Lord to give you a glimpse of the wonderful intricate plan you are a part of.
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)
‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’
John 5:19 (NIV)
Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.’
Isaiah 8:18 (NKJV)
Here am I, and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We are for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.
