Radical renewal or business as usual?

When push comes to shove, most of us stay the same. We are in love with the idea of change but not the practice of it.

We love to respond to God in meetings. We want impartation. We love the promises and the prophecies of God. All of these impart an anointing to partner with God in all the developments of life.

All of life in the Spirit either comes to us or is established in us by process. If we have an impartation to enter a new place in Christ, then the process that comes is designed to establish that reality. If the Father uses process to cause us to enter a new place in Christ, then an impartation will come to empower us to abide.

Either way, process is a part of the process! It is a series of steps designed to move us from one reality to another and enable us to complete the journey.

Most impartations are lost somewhere between the altar and the street. We want new, but we think old. We settle back into life as normal, business as usual, both as individuals and as a corporate body.

I have seen numerous churches receive quite amazing prophetic words, but leadership does not enter the process of adjustment so that they can encounter the Lord in the way that He is requiring.

Life in the Spirit is always about the process of becoming more in Jesus. We must partner with God in the process of our transformation.

Love the promises of God. Love the process that enables you to see them fulfilled.
