A DISPLAY OF HEAVEN - BIRTHING & ENLARGEMENT

Over the past few weeks, since I've returned home, God has been reminding me about the storks, (bringing the new babies) that He was speaking to me about whilst I was in the Czech Republic. Last weekend we celebrated our grandchilds first birthday with a party, here at home. Having watched her grow for twelve months at each stage of her life, introducing her to solid food, seeing her crawl for the first time and now walking with her first pair of shoes!! God reminded me of the stages of our journey of life that we walk through too. DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS With every promise, every vision, we begin small. We make a start, we step out, we believe and trust. I sensed that many had started and then gave up when things didn't seem to 'take off'. As an encouragement to you, we need to remember that the baby doesn't walk at six months old! There has to be the development of the child's body; the opportunities for her/him to stretch, to try, to taste and to fall, in order to grow. It's the same with us. We will dribble, at times, as we 'cut our teeth' but when the teeth are cut, we can eat more solid food. THE BIRTHING OF THE NEW With natural pregnancies, the baby will grow in the womb and then at the right time, it's head engages as it prepares itself to enter the birth canal. I sensed that a lot of us have been in a 'tight spot' we have been in the 'birth canal'. Some have prayed and believed and stood and declared, but it appears that nothing is shifting!! I could see the frustration, the battle, and the feeling of wanting to escape. It reminded me when im in a Lift sometimes, with lots of people, I can't wait to get out into the wider space outside. I believe the baby must have the same feelings. Somewhere in all this, Father is wooing us to come closer, to lean heavily upon His chest, as John the beloved with Jesus, and to LISTEN to Him. To be in that place of PEACE and REST knowing that He really has got this! The baby will be born even if the birth maybe a little difficult! Because, He who promised, is faithful. ENLARGEMENT When the baby arrives into the world there's such a stark contrast for them. They have been nurtured for nine months in the womb, hearing muffled noises and sounds and now, here they are, outside of all that, with bright lights, new sounds and smells - a whole new world! Wow! Well, this is what I'm seeing for the sons and daughters of God, those who are hungry, even desperate, to see Gods Kingdom manifesting all over the Earth. We are being brought into a place of ENLARGEMENT - like a whole new world! And just like the baby, we will need to continually suckle, to feed, from Him. Knowing that, we can't give anything away, UNLESS we have first RECEIVED. As Holy Spirit has been preparing us for what is to come we have the CHOICE to live that John 5:19 lifestyle, as Jesus did, or not. I want to encourage you, choose well, choose life, choose Him 💕
