Seeking a Dwelling Place – 7/24/13

I Myself am brooding over this region.  And I see the burning hearts and I see the the dear ones waiting patiently for the promise.  Has it not been spoken?  Do you not feel the drawing of My Spirit, says God.  For I long to build a dwelling place – where I will rest and habitate among you.

I see a pool of water and it is being stirred.  God is stirring us up to a greater hunger.  He is creating in us a deep longing.  A desire to go deeper into the things of God.  To look more closely and intently at what His purpose and desires are.  And then to move with what we see.  To move with what we know.  To declare it and to see it come to pass.

He says – I don’t need another church.  I need a people of passion.  A people sold out and broken.  A people consumed with My heart and my purpose. 

So lay it all down, says God.  Throw all the pieces you’ve gathered and formed into something on the ground and allow me to hand you the puzzle pieces.  I will show you where to place them.  The completed work is already appearing, though You must see with My eyes or you will miss it, says God.

Pray with me:

Father, build a dwelling place among us – a place where Your presence will be thick and heavy in our midst.  And stir the waters, God – the waters that stir up the hunger in us causing us to long for the deeper things.  Open our eyes Father, that we would look more closely and intently at your will and purposes.  And that we would take what we see and run with it.

And cause us Lord, to see not with “religious eyes” but to see with eyes of passion.  Eyes that are passionate about Your heart – eyes that see what You see and what you desire to do.  Break us, God, and set our feet running towards You with a fiery passion – consumed with Your love.

So, we throw all that is not part of your plan on the ground now.  We repent for building without hearing You.  We repent for placing our own agenda above yours.  Consume us, Oh God, with Your fire and keep us safely in Your will and purpose that we would not miss what You are doing in this season.  Hallelujah!  In the Name of Jesus – Amen.
