THE WOMB OF GOD

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , , , ,

A couple of weeks ago as I was worshipping in our new early Sunday service, I found myself receiving a vision from God as we sang the words, “in you I live and move and breathe…”

In the vision, I saw us individually and as the Church represented as a baby in the womb of its mother. When a baby is in the womb, it receives oxygen and nutrients from the placenta into its bloodstream by being connected to the mother by the umbilical cord. The baby is also protected as it is cushioned and floating in the amniotic sac. The amniotic fluid not only helps to cushion the baby from bumps and injury, but it also provides it with fluids that it can breathe and swallow.

Ahhhh, beloved of God!! We receive everything we need to grow and thrive as we are connected to God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like that umbilical cord that is intimately connected to the mother. We are intimately connected to Almighty God through the Holy Spirit!

The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby is like the Living Water that surrounds and is present within us. Just like the amniotic fluid is surrounding the baby and within the baby – so the Holy Spirit surrounds us and is within us.

As I was having this vision, I had such a profound sense of the care and protection of the Lord as we are being molded and shaped into who God has called us to be. We are being transformed more and more into His image as we continue to stay connected to Him in all we say and do. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

As I continued to worship and meditate on this vision…I began to hear in my spirit, “The baby is coming to term!”

Brothers and Sisters! The Church is coming to a place of being ready to be “birthed!” The Lord is bringing His Church to a place of maturity – for us to be able to move and be the mighty loving force that will impact the world for His glory!

And we know that there is pain and discomfort that comes with a birth. And it can be messy. Do not despair or feel overwhelmed as we, the Church, are experiencing the birth pains that come with new life! Have you felt the pull to break out of the same routine and comfort of the past? Have you felt that call that there is something MORE ready to erupt within your life and the life of your Church?

Are you ready for NEW LIFE to be breathed into those places that are starving and hungering for more? Are you ready to be released into GREATER VISION; GREATER POWER, GREATER LOVE?

The last part of active labor is called the transition. TRANSITION in our lives and in the life of the Church is happening now!!

GET READY!!

 

Get Over Yourself and Get Into God!!

I was talking to a friend this morning at church and she commented that she enjoyed my little “message” video on Facebook. I confessed to her that I didn’t know why I found myself posting these videos the last couple of days.

I am overly critical of myself – how I sound…how I look. And I found myself saying, “But, it’s not about me!! It’s about the Lord!”

Immediately, I had one of those AHA moments!! Maybe that’s why the Lord gently pushed me into putting myself out there – for me to get over myself! LOL!

Do you find yourself pulling away from being noticed…wanting to blend into the background? Are you like me…overly critical of yourself…seeing every fault and feeling that everyone else sees them too?

Well, dearest one, get over yourself and get into God!! May we be more concerned about letting HIS Light shine brightly through us and not be so concerned about how OUR “light” looks!

Forgive me, Lord, for being self-conscious instead of God-conscious! Forgive me, Lord, for holding back because of how I feel or how I look! Cover me, Lord, with YOUR beauty; YOUR grace; and YOUR love!! May I be a reflection of YOUR glory!!  

YOUR FUTURE IS NOW!

Our past experiences help to make us who we are today. Those experiences that we look upon as “good” and those experiences that we label as “bad” all work together to bring us into the place we find ourselves today.

It is so comforting to know that no matter what experiences we have had, God can use all of them for our good.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”       ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We all learn from the good times we have had and from the bad. It is easy to look back with regret…wishing we had done things differently…but, we can’t allow the enemy to trap us in that place of regret.  God can use even our regrets to change our future.

It is easy to look at things that we consider the “high points” of our lives and want to drag them into our today and dwell in that place of good feeling and accomplishment.  But, God wants to open up new “high points” for us!  We mustn’t allow our past accomplishments to take the place of all that God wants to do in and through us NOW!

Beloved of God, we learn from our past but we don’t live there.  God has so much MORE that He has planned for you!  Glance back…but keep your focus and attention firmly ahead!!

Your future is manifesting in the present – don’t miss it!

WAIT FOR THE LORD!

As my friend and I were talking on the phone today, we both were discussing how important God’s timing is in our lives.

It is so easy to rush ahead when we are anticipating what God is calling us to do. It is so easy to try and make it happen under our own power.

There are also things we have been praying for – perhaps for years!  Beloved, don’t give up! Don’t be downcast!

Let your heart take courage!  Be strong!  Wait for the Lord!!

GET READY!

I feel a STIRRING in my spirit! There is much spiritual activity going on!

TRANSITIONING…

POSITIONING…

The Church is being called to attention! Marching orders are being distributed.

A RESTRUCTURING of ministries is beginning! Things that have been on “the back burner” are being moved up…and things that have been in the forefront are being put into a place of being refueled. And the Lord is adding ingredients that need to be added to achieve its purpose in this next season.

I feel a SHIFTING! Some things will be slowed down and some things will be speeded up. TIMING is important! Be sensitive to the Lord’s direction.

FOCUS! The Lord is sharpening our vision to SEE!!

There is much angelic activity! They are also being positioned by the Lord to strategically help those ones that are being raised up for such a time as this!

GET READY! GET READY!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

How are you today, Beloved of God? Are you fighting a battle that seems like you can’t win? Are you still waiting for breakthrough? Does it seem like God is far away?

You are not alone! The Lord is very near! He feels everything you are feeling. He sees everything that is trying to break you down. He is ready to deliver you from the snare of the enemy!

Be encouraged and be strengthened to go forward armed with the Lord’s Love and Victory!! HE SEES YOU!! HE LOVES YOU!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

“The LORD sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down.”   Psalm 145:14
