I Feel As If I Am Going To Burst!!!

[Spirit]

Have you every had a feeling so deep inside of you that you feel as if you are going to burst? Lately I have been feeling that God is trying to get a message to me regarding "heart" issues of the church. And it seems as if so much information is coming at me that I can't get it organized enough to write it out. How do I deal with this? I know God is birthing something in me, but it is so hard to sit still until things start to make since.
I know I need to be patient, but I guess my "flesh" needs some words of encouragement.

You know, I have always believed that God speaks in themes. When He gives you a message you hear the same one from every radio preacher, TV Evangelist and emailed devotion! Yours is the same case with me. I met a freind at church this Sunday that I haven't seen in weeks and he (is a prophet) looked at me and said, "you look like you could just burst in the Spirit - like the Spirit is stretching at your seams." He was right - lately I've been claustrophobic in my own skin. And yes, I feel the Lord is very frustrated with the "ways" of the church. We have become so bogged down with doctrine, making sure everything is done decently and in order - that the Spirit can't even get in and shake anything up.

Patience in the Spirit... in the natural I would say timing is everything. In the Spirit I say... God's Grace is sufficient - He is always right on time! If God is indeed birthing something inside you then think of it as a real pregnancy. You don't really want the baby out at 7 months just because he's kicking up a storm in your rib cage, right? Patience in the Spirit and you will have a healthy delivery!

Power, love & peace!

Thank you so much for your words. It is so funny last night I could not sleep because thoughts were going thru my head, but I was too tired to get up to right them down. After a while my back started to really hurt, making it very uncomfortable for me to lie down, THEN my stomack started to ache. I had NO other choice but to get up out of the bed, at 4:45am, and get to reading and writing. And needless to say, ALL of the discomfort went away.

And as you said, whatever is happening, I dont want anything premature. So I will take it one day at a time. And let God have HIS perfect time.

And to you I say, continue to be led by the Spirit. God is working.

A message I received via email today (04-10-09)

Beloved, you are in the flow of destiny, and I am bringing you along the time line of purpose. Even though you catch a glimpse of course changes that await, you must stay mentally and emotionally in the present. Be steadfast and faithful by maintaining spiritual focus. Timing is everything, and it would be a mistake to try to force any issue to obtain the goal. Wait patiently for My leading and trust that I indeed go before you to clear the path and make a way, says the Lord.

Isaiah 43:2-3 “ I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.”

God is good.

Another message today. The Lord is our Shephard!!!!

Be aware that your spiritual atmosphere is charged with restlessness and a desire for change, and I say to you that you are sensing changes that are on the horizon. But, it is not yet time for real, productive change to manifest in your lives. Wait for My timing and leading, for if you step out too soon to force a transformation it will be by the flesh and out of the flow of My Spirit, says the Lord. Use this current restlessness to draw close to Me and be elevated to a new place in the Spirit.

Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
