Time for a change
I wonder some times if its time for a change?
People talk about seasons and God working within them. I don't know when one season begins and another ends, apart from a retrospective look!! Hind sight is a great thing an'all that. These days I've been turning up at church and thinking 'Hey God whats going on?' His people are becoming less engaged with Him. I sense a withdrawing, a fear almost that God is asking too much. Are we living in the days were God is upping the anti?!! Is He expecting more from his people now than before?
I find myself becoming more and more sensitive to God which means a bit of an emotional rollercoaster where I am trying to figure out what is God's heart and what's just my plain old desires?In our relationships do we go thru times when one(One) of us becomes more demanding. Does God withdraw a bit to challenge us to look for Him with more effort ,zeal,passion etc? or does He draw closer and we step back a bit cos He is a bit much? Oh to know the ways of God!!
Is this the season of crying out or the season of reflection?
Recently we (the church I attend) have been praying for a boy with serious illness. We/I prayed passionately, we prayed long, we prayed often, we fought declared and proclaimed. He died and has gone to be with Jesus..............and we're left trying to support the family and get our head around what's happened.
Is this not the season for healings?
We prayed for a mother in hospital who couldn't breath, a worship leader with Kidney stones and have been praying for a woman with cancer for a long time now. All have received full or partial healings.
Is the season for healing now?
I've been trying to exercise faith for finance and God has provided half!! An influential couple from church are no longer around .It feels as though we're going thru change and its scary, not complete, not there yet.Something is changing and if God is in it WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
