17. Did Someone Call For A Plumber?

Isa 43:19  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

 

There is a new Spirit springing forth in many churches throughout the world.  The day of controlling and policing by people is passing away.  The feeling of the need to be an “enforcer” is a spirit – and that spirit is being cast out.  We are to esteem every man greater than ourselves.  The need to “Lord over someone” is an abomination to the Lord.

 

(Mat_7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged. ) It is a spiritual pride that is being cast out of our midst!  Rejoice in that the oppression of one over another IS GONE!!!

 

Psa 12:3  The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Psa 12:4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Psa 12:5  For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

Psa 12:6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

 

It is so important that you seek the Lord for a straight path today.  When we walk in the ways of the Lord,  His presence,  power and pleasure rest upon us as morning dew.

 

When we are walking in His will and His way – we affect all that we touch.  I have seen it so many times,  God working with unlimited power when our walk is pure and our heart is right.

 

Heb 12:13  And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

 

The healing comes as we walk IN HIM.  If there is bitterness in you – if there is anger in you – if there is an unclean motive,  it hinders the moving of God’s Spirit in your life.  We can be used for the desires of His heart,  or we can sit back and watch God move through someone else.

 

Was there a day when God was doing miracles, signs and wonders each day?  Has there been a declining in that moving?  It could be that you have let a root of bitterness spring up. 

 

Are you upset that God is working through someone else?  Check your heart.  Get yourself back in line.  Humble yourself before Him and let Him take away that which troubles you that you can’t even pinpoint!

 

When the water in the sink takes longer to drain,  you surmise that there must be a blockage.  The same thing happens when there is a blockage in your walk… in your heart.  Let God remove all that is not Him so that the water can freely flow again.

 

Is there a feeling of a chill in your attitude?  Do you feel away from God?  I can remember a great evangelist saying that “if you were ever closer to God than you are right now,  you are backslidden”.   It’s time to seek the Lord WHILE He may be found!

 

Hos 14:4  I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Hos 14:5  I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

Hos 14:6  His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

Hos 14:7  They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
