Pastors…repent!
Friends, at this time I feel God is calling pastors to turn to Him in repentance.
Not some form of morbid repentance from sinful behavior, but rather a changing of mind, a rethinking of thoughts. A joyous readjustment.
We need to repent in the area of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. God longs to move in great power in the earth today. We have restricted His movement and power in the body. How? By restricting, by hindering the work of the Spirit.
We have built wineskins and patters to channel the wine. The problem is that the wineskin then determines the size and description of the wine. A move of God has begun that no wineskin will be able to contain. Our programs, patterns and principles will come under tremendous stress during this outpouring of presence and power. Many wineskins will simply burst under the increase, many banks will give way to the flood, the river creating its own banks, as the river determines it's direction.
Repentance is the admitting that we have often placed ourselves, our own wisdom our own way, as the banks for the river to run between. If we repent we set the stage for the river to flow fresh, wild and unrestricted. Repentance, changing our minds about how god operates in people and in churches, will cause increase in power and presence, and minimize the damage,mess and hurt a restricting wineskin creates.
The Holy Spirit wants to be in charge of us, His people and His church. Let us approach the throne of grace and mercy, and repent. Humility will assist increase, and pride will resist it.
The bottom line is that God knows better than we do, ministers better than we do, and leads the church better than we ever imagined. Spirit filled; spirit lead communities are what God is looking for in the world today. People filled with the power and presence of God. People who live in and operate out of a deep understanding of who God is, and who they are in Him.
For those in co-operation with Gods spirit in this hour, there will be extraordinary power for signs wonders and miracles. Hungry and thirsty people too will be satisfied. The power and presence of His spirit is fertilizer to the saved, and a perfume to the unsaved, causing growth and salvation.
Gifting, anointing and calling will increase. The lost will be healed, and then saved. Great power will be with the church that allows the spirits ministry without restriction.
Friends, lets surrender and stay surrendered to God in this tremendous outpouring. Let's repent and turn to Him, allowing Him to have His way at every level. He who has ears let Him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Your friend,
Wayno
