A SEASON OF BUILDING

A SEASON OF BUILDING
We are in a season of building and expansion. The Lord is building the house. In a vision I saw someone adding another addition to a house. I was surprised at just how fast it was progressing. One minute it did not even exist, then the next it was there.
“Behold the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.” Amos 9:13
Then I noticed there was barely enough room for the expansion. For what God is getting ready to do, there will need to be bigger vision and the capacity to be flexible and go with the flow. Change will be an ongoing thing because of the rapid pace and acceleration of God’s moving. This will need to be integrated into the fabric of our thinking so that we can just take it in stride and be prepared.
“Enlarge the pace of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.” Isaiah 54:2
The authority of the Lord is going to increase as we pursue Him. In conjunction with this expanded territory of His dominion there will be a coinciding authority released to steward the work that the Lord is doing. With every new thing that God grants to us there is the responsibility that comes with the territory. The new authority is needed, for with the new territory comes new challenges that can only be handled by it.
In this new place that God is building there will be a bright release of His glory. The highlight will be the “brightness” of His glory. As we partake in His glory, we will reflect His glory. There will be a brightness upon our faces. Just as the children of Israel could not stand to look at the face of Moses, so God will restore to us such a glory that the world will be able to see a difference. Because the Lord is building the house, our labours will not be in vain and will not be out of religious ritual and tradition, but out of the ongoing influence of the Spirit in our lives.
