Suddenly

Good Morning! It's Sunday and I sense blessings are about to happen.  

Word- "Release" (freedom; unhampered contraint), worship untainted, unrestrained. 

Let's say it's Friday night. Air is cool. Dresssed for warmth. Blankets in hand. Hot chocolate or coffee in the other. You arrive at the Homecoming game hearing the band play. Teams run out onto the playing field. Crowds go wild. As the game goes on you realize something is not quite right. The defense is building a good wall but there is nothing on the scoreboard. The excitement of the game is waning. This is what happens in the church when there is "offense", as in the taking the bait of offense. There is no score in offense. The team can't work together. There is no unity. There are problems. The coach gets frustrated, the plays aren't strategic. Even the wall of defense that is there for good purpose falters and more often than we know, there is a brokenness that the enemy wants to leave us shaking our heads at how to improve the game at this point. The team individually is less than encouraged and the unity cannot operate collectively if the individual players are not geared up and ready to play. There is a blockage to unity...a blockage to revival. The team is injured spiritually. A team put together with missing parts, missing the flow of what God wants to accomplish in them. In the warring, the tactic of love is missing. There is a stirring of gifts in the church that God institutes but it is minus offenses. Your enemy makes it look as if you are fighting the good fight with your team while in the process you fight against the ones that are for you, your very own teammates. Moreover, the teammates turn against one another in the deception and no one is in the state of gaining victory. Oppression is thick. Deceptions go on so long that it 'looks' as if nothing will ever change. The church grows weak in the walk. Those causing the offense have continued in their unhealed state so long that rebellion seems a mainstay. Seems it has spread like a disease of which was never intended. How does it get this way? The enemy wants to hide the symptoms so as to not discern truth.  They are lack of love, disunity, unreceptiveness, unfriendliness, divisions, dullness of spirit, clicks, slightedness that seeps in to create a slow depression. It effects fellowship, giving, hospitality, honor, love and the greatest of all encouragements; Worship! Always the small lies that build up that try to hide the actual that is huge in the heart or spirit. If your spirit is offended you can hardly play the game without renewing the mind and refreshing yourself that there is once again flow of God in and through you. 

Recovery now that you might extend yourself in worship and to others. Then great rejoicing and fullness meet together and great and powerful and mighty miracles take place in great manifestation. The Holy  Spirit can fill your hearts with grandiose worship and there be a flow of miraculous without all that is unnecessary. There is so much love that awaits in the church and individually in hearts that know it not. Don't be restrained from the lies that are heard and the truth that is not. Press in and be unhindered from what is not truly yours and have what is truly yours. Let your countenance be blessed with love flowing outward from your heart and spirit. You will begin to see different kinds of love appear in your life that you never dreamed possible or perhaps you have but didn't believe it was really for you.  You looked as though you possessed the ability but now you know that you know that is in your possession because the offense is no longer hindering your spiritual vision of the heart and you are in right standing with God. Your heart can see and know that all you have desired can become reality and that it can be that 'heaven on earth' you only thought possible. 

You will have your Beloved in every area of love that your Beloved is sought for. There is flow in the search, healing in hearts, mending of all hurts, forgiveness driving the way and suddenly...you will find what you are looking for. You no longer feel lovesick. Suddenly!
