255. The Jet is Landing

You didn’t miss it! The other day in prayer, it began to feel like I was on an airplane in decent. I could hear the Lord clearly. “The jet is landing.” 

There are many people in a waiting and holding season at the feet of the Lord right now. They are crying out for answers on why it’s taking so long. Patience is being tried. Refining fire has felt the hottest it’s ever been. 

Many are frustrated, with arms pulled back ready to throw in the towel. The resistance you feel is the last part of your sinful flesh rising to the surface. It’s that deep thing the Lord needs you to deal with before your next breakthrough. Lean in. Pray through. Walk it out. 

It’s like taking a 12 hour flight and getting so antsy and anxious to get your seat belt off and arrive at the last half hour. 

You are this close. 

Whatever season you are resting in, whatever trial you are facing, whatever shaking you’ve endured, it’s coming to an end. 

The jet is landing. 

It’s time to fast and to pray. Its time to prepare your hearts and souls to align with your Spirit and move with Jesus Christ. To take up your cross and follow Him. Follow the King of Glory every step of the way. 

This is the season to go. To go beyond your fleshly comforts, to go beyond your physical limits, to go beyond the worldly realm, and to fight from a spiritual position of victory in Jesus Christ. To advance the kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. 

This is the season to go beyond reading and to begin living this word you love so much. This gospel of Jesus Christ. Our good shepherd whose sheep will know His voice. 

This is the season to take Jesus to the nations, to the store, and everywhere else you go. This is the season to listen and obey, to go after those hidden in dark places and show them the light. 

If He sends you will you really go? Will you go to your neighbor and help fold her clothes in Jesus name? Will you go down the road and pray for your town? Will you go to church on Sunday or any day at all? Will you get in your car and go where He sends you? Even if it’s to an adult store at 1am? Can you share Him when He sends you? Will you share Him where you go? 

The other day we thought we missed it. We drove most of the day and into the night with not much going on. On our way home, late, we passed an adult store and we both got hit by the Lord to stop. 

It led to a 20 min conversation about Jesus with the man that worked there and a Holy Spirit encounter that employee will not soon forget. 

The people Jesus is after, aren’t coming to your churches or your meetings. This is the season to share Him beyond every comfort of your flesh. This is the season to let the Spirit of the Living God send you and for you to really go. 

Listen and obey, but keep in mind that He’ll send you to the prayer closet before He’ll send you to the nations. Start on your face and in the word and see where Jesus takes you. 

You may feel like you have missed it, but the jet is landing and it’s almost time to go! It’s in this last stretch of enduring the descent, where we find hope in the victory of landing safely and the excitement and anticipation to experience what lies ahead in Jesus name.  

Acts 4:29-31 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Acts 28:31 - Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

Ephesians 3:12 - In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Proverbs 28:1 - The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Hebrews 13:6 - So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Hebrews 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Ephesians 6:19-20 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Matthew 9:37-38 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

1 Corinthians 9:22 - To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

1 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Isaiah 6:8 - Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Acts 1:8 - But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

2 Timothy 4:5 - But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

244. Out of the Wilderness

  The Lord is calling you. He's calling you deeper. He's calling you higher. He's calling you to become more of His and less of what this world calls "Christian" and gets away with. He's calling you, to gather all the broken pieces of the past and He is leading you, to help you put them back together again.  This morning during worship the Lord led me to an open field. There was a half broken down stage like the aftermath of a weekend music festival. I was walking the disheveled grounds kicking through trash and broken down campsites. So much mess left behind without a care or thought in the world. Our pasts can feel the same. So much junk, so much carnage, so much chaos left behind.  I grabbed a large trash bag and began cleaning. As I continued to gather things up, the ground was transforming. The season was shifting. The air felt lighter, the leaves in the surrounding trees began to change and a fresh autumn breeze began to blow through the field. As the la...

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

250. Stay North Ash

  Testimony time! Change is hard for some people, especially during the holidays. While many others handle change with ease, I tend to handle it like a cat thrown in a bathtub. Settling in here hasn’t been much different. So much change.  In many areas it’s been a blessing and the perfect fit, but I’d be lying if I said being this far away from Leah wasn’t the hardest thing I’ve ever done. While she’s amazingly independent, I always thought she’d be away at college before I couldn’t just stop by if she ever needed me for anything.   This has led to me questioning the Lord on a lot of things, and led to me wondering if us moving to Morgantown would be a good fit for the next season the Lord has coming up over the horizon.   How many of you have experienced something similar? You pray, the Lord answers, you obey, then you’re in it. You’re smack dab in the middle of what you prayed for and it ends up challenging you to grow in ways you never thought possible.  You ...
