"THE WORLD AWAITS YOUR MANIFESTATION!"



Ok, I have just a 10 minutes before I have to run out the door to get my son from school, but this word just got in me and I am about to explode and I can't wait until later to let it loose. I usually don't release things in publication like this, but I think it is a worthy word today. In addition, I am very focused on Global Impact right now, as we are leaving in one week for West Africa. I will admit as well, that God has been branding me with a true legitimate "burden" for the nations He has opened to us this past year. So I am a gush of vision and destiny at the present moment. I hope that it will jump on you as you read this.

My word for today...The World Awaits Your Manifestation!"
.

Holy Ghost work it in whomever reads this post today. The world is waiting for you to get on the scene in the middle of His will and destiny for you so you can do what only YOU can do.
.

Today my husband forwarded me a mail from a Pastor in West Africa, Liberia to be specific. This is a pastor we have never met. Now I have to tell you that this is a very common experience in our life at present, because doors are opening of their own accord and it is a supernatural season of ministry! So to get the mail was good, but to hear this sweet man express the need of his nation and request that we come over to them to help their "nation" puts a brand on my heart. It was so compelling in and of itself, but then he closed his mail with the phrase, "the world awaits your manifestation." In other words, Man of God we need you, there is much to do and it won't get done until you do it.
.
It reminds me of the scripture in Romans 8:18-19, 22 that says,
.

"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God...For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now,"
.

This is why the time is now to step up and forward into your destiny. What else matters more than doing His will for your life and brining the Kingdom of God to the earth? What else? All of creation is waiting for you to say and do what God has called you for. Don't let temporal things deter you. Don't let opposition deter you. Don't let your fear and intimidation deter you.

THE WORLD AWAITS YOUR MANIFESTATION!

Are you questioning, "what am I going to do?" The answer is, "release the power!"

I have recently been in the midst of a teaching series called "Unlocking The Hidden Power." I talk a lot about being empowered, I am aware of it. I suppose it is because that scripture has such a grip on me in Romans 8:11 which says,
.

"if the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His spirit that dwells in you."
.
And the word "life" is to quicken, to ordain a work, to make happen, to flow forth, to shoot out and to perform. And that one truth is the message that is like fire in my bones. This one scripture and truth bears up the idea that with man things are impossible but with God all things are possible! Meditating on that truth renews the mind to believe that there is a power within me which can effect change and produce results which were previously not accessible when I try it on my own. Knowing there is something in us capable of more than our own power and ability motivates me to try, branch out, take risks and have hope in the midst of hopelessness. I don't respond or live like an 'ordinary' woman, but a woman with extraordinary ability beyond my own.
.
As Believers, we are not ordinary. We have a greater hope. We have a greater ability. We have a greater power within us; resurrection power! We are carriers of power, transmitters of power, messengers of power. So why do we react so powerlessly by panicking, stressing and lying down in defeat, when it isn't necessary or even prudent to do so? I challenge you today to think upon this truth and allow it to transform your perception of the seemingly insignificant situations of your life all the way to the seemingly insurmountable. Don't ask of your life or situation, "what am I going to do?", but release power. See it with God's power in it, and release it!
.
I quoted this passage in my last sermon on "Unlocking The Hidden Power." This is from a book that I read every year by Watchman Nee, called "Release of The Spirit." May it challenge you today by the Spirit of God.
.
"There came a time when God committed Himself to human form-in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Before the Word became flesh, God's fullness knew no bounds. However, once the incarnation became a reality, His work and His power were limited to this flesh.
Will this Man, Christ Jesus, restrict or manifest God ? We are shown by the Bible that, far from limiting God, He has instead wonderfully manifested God's fullness. The fullness of God is the fullness of this flesh.

In our day God commits Himself to the Church. His power and His work are in the Church. Just as in the Gospels we find all God's work given to the Son,
so today God has entrusted all His works to the Church and will not act apart from it.
From the Day of Pentecost up to the present, God's work has been carried out through the Church.
Think of the Church's tremendous responsibility. God's committal to the Church is like His committal previously to one Man, Christ-without reservation or restriction. Thus the Church may restrict God's work or limit His manifestation.

When this light dawns on us, we will spontaneously lift up our eyes to heaven saying, "Oh, God ! How much we have hindered Thee!" In Christ, the Almighty God was still almighty without suffering any restriction or straitening. What God expects today is that this same power may remain intact as He resides in the Church. He would be as free in manifesting Himself in the Church as He was in Christ. "
