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.
