Ok, today’s thought is sort of an inspiration from several different sources. Mostly, I’ve just got something that I need to say that’s been ruminating in my mind for a while now.
On this day, June 6, 1944, allied forces began the invasion of Normandy. Those men, who were about my age, were there for the purpose of fighting for a victory. For that we honor them and the sacrifice they made. But what I need to tell you is that we are approaching a spiritual D-Day.
I have been a Christian for a very long time, but it took a person who I initially thought was just on this side of spiritual sanity to spark the recognition in my spirit that God and His spirit are so much more that most of us ever dream about even in our wildest fantasies. Sometimes it frightens me at how much more sensitive I have become to certain things. And one of the things that I have is an overwhelming sense of tension. I feel that there is a huge undercurrent happening in my generation; a huge spiritual undercurrent. And I’m both frightened and excited by it.
We’ve been working on our foundation of faith, but we’ve forgotten that we also need to build a roof and walls through spiritual revelation that results from our contact with God. “In Him the whole building (that you and me) is joined together and rises to become a Holy temple.” (Ephesians 2:19-22) We need to come together as his Holy temple and prepare ourselves for the coming storm. We’re going to have to stand together, side by side, in the coming onslaught to the Christian world. A catalyst is coming and it is going to look like it will break us to the foundation, but it’s not. We do not gain strength from the doctrines we’ve set in place, we get our strength from God who is the source of our revelation.
Dan Riley, the pastor of my parents church, said something almost in passing during the service this morning, but it resonated so deeply inside me as truth that I wrote it down before I forgot, “God’s leading us into an era of victory.” Are you ready to walk on the water and storm the shores?
