Forty Days Fasting and Prayers Day Five
Forty Days fasting and prayers
Understanding the mystery of EMPTINESS:
I have been finding it very difficult to put pen on paper about this mystery the Lord planted in my Spirit.
I would not take too many lines to do this but I pray I have the liberty to share deep enough to bring about emptiness (hunger and thirst) in just one person that will read this.
Many of us came with pre-installed ideas, concepts and patterns of what the church, Christ, Christians, our husbands, wife, kids etc should be like even before we meet them. We have been taught to have mental pictures and then create what we have mentally drawn into material reality. I will not be disputing with these methods and this post isn't going to do that.
I have seen from the eyes of the Spirit that God likes empty spaces to create a Masterpiece that will dazzle the universe.
To build his church, he said "you are Peter and upon this ROCK I will BUILD my CHURCH and the gates of hell won't withstand it. " he picked a location, fallow, virgin, empty and reared up his church and made it impregnable to the gates of hell.
To furnish the world, he needed an empty and void place, and today we have an architectural edifice and a scientific wonder called earth.
To build a believer he empties him of the old things and made him a new creature with new life and a new identity.
When we come with a full cup of our knowledge, ideas, concepts, dogmas, and our proposals of what we want God to do or be, then we won't see the dimension he wants to reveal to us by his Spirit. Unless we empty ourselves of all private agendas and motives, we will not carry the fullness he wants us to have.
The 120 men and women in the upper room, had to wait 10 days, empty themselves, unlearn the things they have known, reprogrammed themselves and waited for the filling of the Holy Ghost.
They needed to clean out their closet and empty their cups to receive fresh fire, fresh wine, fresh oil, fresh manifestations, fresh depth of Spirit encounters.
I may have encounters and seen manifestations but they are nothing compared to what Abba wants to do in and through me, if I allow the yesterday become a reality, I will fail to enter into the tomorrow of the prophetic realities preserved for me.
So what do I do, I empty myself, wash and make myself ready for a fresh start. God isn't tired of doing new things, so, I will not be tired of making sure there is hunger and thirst for new levels of manifestation all my days.
Keep Soaring!
Apostle Osam Nsa
Fasting is the foundation to a life of power.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to have power, experience a new dimension of God's unlimited grace or enter into a new phase in your walk with God?
Jesus said"this kind cannot go out but by fasting and prayer".
There are certain events in your life that will remain unchanged until the alter of fasting and prayer is engaged.
Most of the wonderful and amazing victories that I've enjoyed in life, have come through fasting and prayer.
True, when done in faith has so much Spiritual and health benefits.
DeleteIt empties the spirit to receive and empties the body of toxins. Thanks for engaging..
