AWAKENED TO THE ZEAL OF THE LORD

[FAITH]

Acts 2:2 - "And suddenly a sound came for heaven like the rush of a mightY wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."

For some of us there have been certain promises of the Lord in our heart, certain things in the area of dreams, visions, and even prophetic words, where we see ourselves ministering in certain aspects of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  A FRESH WIND OF THE SPIRIT is where the Lord will begin to endow those gifts -- we will begin to see those things He has put so deep within us come about -- the breath of God is going to bring life to those things.

Proverbs 1:23 - "Surely I will pour out My Spirit on you; and I will make My words known to you."

Isaiah 9:6,7 says that the zeal of the Lord will bring forth His Kingdom.  And His zeal brings forth the prophetic utterances that He stirs up within us, just as Jesus describes in John 6:63 - "The word that I speak are not of the flesh because the flesh counts for nothing.  But the words I speak are by the Spirit that brings life."

His zeal will awaken those who have been bound by the spiritual stupor of being hypnotized by the conditions of the natural realm.  We need an awakening of the zeal of the Lord to awaken us out of our self-imposed limitations and give us fiery hearts for Him!  It will break open deaf ears, melt wax, and help us come to ask, seek, and knock until we understand and carry out His purpose for our life.  It's not man's zeal, not traditional zeal, but zeal that can only be imparted by the Holy Spirit.

 

GOING UP HIGHER

 

Isaiah 59:19 AMP - "So (as a result of the Messiah's intervention) they shall (reverently) fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun.  When the enemy shall come in like a flood,  the Spirit of the Lord will LIFT UP A STANDARD...."

 

When the Lord raises up a standard, He finds a people who will align and position themselves in accordance to His impartation of higher wisdom of the call of God -- a mandate for a generation -- and then the wind of the Holy Spirit blows and lifts them up higher. It will take us higher so we can do more than what we could ever do alone, because it will enable us to soar with the Lord.  He takes the ordinary and does the extraordinary.

Isaiah 40:31 - "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength:  They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

 

2 Samuel 5:20 - "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water."

 

The breath of God -- the wind of God -- will drive a rushing stream to go against the dam of the enemy and break it wide open for us!  Don't we want that kind of breakthrough -- a BREAKTHROUGH to advance our CALLING in Christ?

 

PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, give me impartation!   Release that fresh breath that will shake off the dust in every part of my life and bring alignment with your destiny purpose for me that I would know a second wind of your Spirit.  In Jesus name I receive the release of the rushing stream that is driven by the breath of God that brings breakthrough.  I pray that every morning the brilliancy of the flame of your glory would grow brighter and brighter as I go forth in my life to bear fruit that remains for Your Kingdom and bless others with the love of Christ flowing from my heart into theirs. In Jesus name, Amen
