The quarantine we have experienced as a nation has definitely been an unusual, trying time. Everything that was normal, was stripped away. Our busy schedules, appointments, games, even work was cancelled for many people. During this time all the “normal” things we took for granted were suddenly stopped; like time standing still. Stores closed; and everything inside was left just like the day they locked it for the last time. At grocery stores and other places that were
deemed “essential”, people and workers wore masks and stayed apart from others. “Social distancing” became the buzz word for people in our nation, no hugging, handshaking, or getting together with friends. Even churches closed their doors and had to do services online or drive-in style. School buildings were empty; no hustling and bustling of children, teachers and parents. Now school had to be done online. We couldn’t gather together for any event. Everything in just a few days changed. It was all different.
Our country is opening up in phases now, and as the church doors are opening, I want to share a word the Lord gave me on the first service I went to in person as the quarantine was ending. When I walked in the door, the worship was so powerful, and the sound of the worship of the people of God was so beautiful! My heart was so moved by the sound! The sound of the people of God lifting their voices together was piercing the heavens. I could feel the Holy Spirit so strong. As I lifted my voice in worship, I saw water being poured out from heaven onto the people. This was not a little sprinkle of water, but it was a rushing of water being poured out; like standing under a massive waterfall. I asked the Lord what this meant, and He began to show me. He said,
“I am pouring out my water on you; refreshing you. Let go, and let me do this. Don’t be afraid. My water is washing you! Flooding over you. I’m pouring out my Spirit and washing you from the PAST season. I’m making you ready for what I’m doing NEXT! The water of My spirit is being poured out over the church- purifying the church- washing my people.
Old ways , old thinking, old stuff- washed away like dust!
It’s gone! My spirit POURED out! I’m calling you higher!
I’m calling the church higher!”
Isaiah 44:3: “For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your off-spring, and my blessing on your descendants.”
Revelation 22:17: “The Spirit and the bide say, “Come!”
And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.” The Lord reminded me that there is power in gathering with other believers; with the family of God. Faith rises when we gather to worship Him. We need each other! When we lift our voices together, it makes a difference!
I felt compelled to look up the definition of the word dust. Dust is defined as, earth or other matter in fine, dry particles. The dust of old attitudes and thinking are being washed away as we press in to God in worship and prayer. I believe God is calling us to receive His love and surrender everything to Him. He is preparing us for greater things! We have a choice. We can surrender and allow God to wash away all those things that have settled on us, or we can hold on to them and stay in the past. He is calling us to move up higher and rise up! Things that have been difficult to overcome will be washed away in a moment in this outpouring of the spirit. Surrender it all to the Father now, and receive the Holy Spirit in a fresh way! We are moving higher!
