IT'S A NEW SEASON----IT'S A NEW DAY....... Every Year we have 4 Seasons of Change. Winter to Spring, Spring to Summer, Summer to Fall, & Fall to Winter. Each Season brings changes to our Lives, we have to adjust to different weather conditions, dress, daily schedule & routines. As Christians the "Body of Christ" we have to make changes, according to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Not only Individually, also or Families & the Churches/Ministries we are Associated with. During the Seasons of Spiritual change, we move into different levels, that requires growth. The problem is when we don't grow & move as the Spirit leads us, we can't see the Glory of God in our lives. 2 Chronicles 7: 1-3 the opening of Solomon dedicating the Temple. We see in this passage that: FIRE CAME DOWN.... This was a act of Approval (Favor) from God GLORY FILLED THE TEMPLE......This was a form of a thick cloud that filled the Temple that the Priest could no longer Minister, because of their awe & Reverence for God. I believe in this new Season, we need to seek God's will & favor on our lives, our families, our Churches/Ministries. We need to get to the place where we serve God with awe & reverence. Haggai 2:1-9 In this passage Haggai's mind was on the Temple the he was helping Zerubbabel to build. His message from God was deeper then he even realized. Solomon's Temple & the Temple that Zerubbabel was building were dim compared to the Church. The Church is not built with stones, & wood, but the CHURCH would be built with the Soul's of the Redeemed. SHAKE HEAVEN & EARTH..... This is in reference to the coming of the Lord. I believe once again, God is fixing to shake the Heaven's & Earth & pour His Glory on this house {the Church} & show that He is still God. GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE.... Glory means Honor, Worship, Presence, & great splendor of God. God's Word promised Haggai the His Glory would be greater. Questions to ponder...... Are we really hungry to see God's Glory? Are we dissatisfied with things as they are? Are we hungry to see a move of God again? God has placed each of us here for a purpose, He has given everyone a divine assignment The problem in today's world is that we have become complacent & some people in the Church today, don't realize the difference between the move of the Spirit & emotions of the flesh. God is ready to pout out His Spirit, our we ready to receive it? The Glory of God fell...... On the Day of Pentecost.......... Saul on the road to Damascus,...... Paul & Silas in the Jailhouse..... Gentiles when Peter was Preaching...... Night of the storm when the Angel appeared to Paul. IT'S A NEW SEASON, our we prepared for what God wants to do?????? Blessings Dr. Howard McFarland |
