The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Us!
By Tommy
The Spirit of the Lord is moving like an ocean with wave after wave of blessing. The tide is beginning to come in. The Body of Christ is standing in the water soaking in the waves and the refreshing of calmness.
Chains, sins, and bondages are being broken. The Spirit is now flowing freely throughout the Church. The Church is no longer powerless and helpless. The Spirit is exposing sin as never before.
Our God has not forsaken us. The Church is no longer exhausted, weary, or discouraged. We are on solid ground. Failure is not a word that the Church recognizes anymore. Victory is the word of the day.
The world is standing still awaiting the outcome of the Church’s direction. The tide is beginning to turn. And the tide is coming in. The glory of the Lord is inevitable. The Lord's fullness and power are everywhere.
"Lift up your heads, O ye gates and be ye lifted up you everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle." Psalm 24:7-8
A giant wave of deliverance is coming upon God's people. The tide is turning. A mighty wave of the Spirit is coming upon God's people.
Joel 2:32 says, "And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."
Currently, a great ministry of deliverance has been given to God's people. As the waves of deliverance and healing come in, there will be a great casting out of demonic powers by the Spirit of God. The Church and people are being restored. The new wave is coming and is bringing multitudes who have been shipwrecked back to the God of their Fathers. The next incredible wave is a wave of salvation. Wave after wave of God’s blessings are bringing in the lost.
Hell is letting go of sinners. It has no choice. The gates of Hell are opening and releasing souls that it once had captured. Sinners are now seeing the Light and calling upon the Name of Jesus.
Like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord is coming in…wave after wave. Multitudes are being saved as the waves of salvation continue to cover the earth. As these waves increase in magnitude and become like tidal waves, the Lord says, "Truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord like the waters cover the sea."
Never forget that God is in control and He will carry out His plan on Planet Earth. Our faith keeps us from hopelessness and despair. As Christians, God gave us emotions so that we can feel love, experience pain, joy, and sorrow. Our emotions are healthy for us. They keep us in balance.
2 Corinthians 12:9 states:
"And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Paul is talking about struggles and sufferings that we all battle. God loves our dependency upon Him for strength in weak times, especially during our emotional outbursts. God knows how to be a good Parent, especially regarding our times of sorrow and weakness. He loves it when we allow Him and the Holy Spirit (our Comforter) to comfort us in times of pain. He will never abandon us or leave us during a storm.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear. A spirit of fear causes individual obsessive anxiety. It steals the peace of God from us and can cause us to be defensive rather than offensive. A spirit of fear brings forth a reaction rather than a healthy response. Do not fear. God has you in the hollow of His Hand. 2 Timothy 1:7 states, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
If you have a spirit of fear, pray or ask someone to pray with you to break or renounce the spirit of fear. Pray the following prayer:
"Father, I thank You for my emotions. You have put within me emotions to keep me safe and secure…to alert me when I need to respond to a situation. I confess that I have had fear in my life, but now that is behind me. My confidence is in You. I ask for peace, power, love, and a sound mind to come into my life. Thank you for answering my partition. In Jesus Name, Amen."
Remember His promises…all the promises you have received from the Lord. Stand on the promises and have faith…even during the waters of adversity. Never let your emotions dictate your behavior and decisions. Always go with what you know from the Word, not what you feel.
Do not go by what you see or feel. God's mercy and grace is sufficient. "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the LORD of hosts” (Zech. 4:6).
The Spirit of the Lord is upon you! Amen!
