LITTLE FOXES

Catch all the foxes,
    those little foxes,
before they ruin the vineyard of love,
    for the grapevines are blossoming! SONG OF SOLOMON 2:15

The love of God is the most powerful force in the universe.

Yet God has chosen to store that incredible power on earth inside of fragile human beings. Paul the Apostle says it this way.

“God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.[b] This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” 2 Corinthians 4:6,7

Before I go mixing my metaphors too much further let me just say that human beings are weak and it doesn’t take much to take us off track. Those little foxes can cause real problems for the work of God if we don’t catch ’em.

I’ve been wondering about the little foxes in the move of God I am involved in. I can sense they are out there, just now though they are in hiding.

Maybe I’m in denial.

Maybe I am downplaying the seriousness of the “little foxes”.

Maybe I am paranoid and there are no little foxes…..

Maybe I just think the little foxes are too cute to be a problem.

What do you feel about the little foxes?

SOMETIMES SLOGGING

I spend a to of time in prayer.

Sometimes prayer is as exciting as fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Sometimes it is as intimate as a lover’s kiss.

Sometimes it is as convicting as a judge in a criminal court case.

And then sometimes it is like slogging through the deep mud.

That was last night. We were praying for revival for at The Worship Room House of prayer and I felt such resistance in the spirit realm. it was like walking through mud. I pressed so hard in prayer in the final hour I was actually in pain.

Revival is here…it is coming, and it is being confronted.

I am not talking about resistance from people. I sense a great resistance in the spirit realm. Something is there and something doesn’t want the work of revival to move forward.

We must not stop. We must keep slogging until revival grows and becomes what God wants it to be.

9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Gal. 6:9
