WAITING FOR THE PLAN.

I am waiting for the plan- you know, for the new thing God is doing. The Plan right now is formless and void. Boy is it ever shapeless. You have to have a shape first in order to fill it. God can’t fill anything shapeless. Anyhow, I am in the dark in regards to the plan God has for me. I am sure He will reveal it in time, won’t He?  Of course He will! Right now it is without form.
God's Blue Print through Revelation


“Without form” is actually translated confusion; empty and nothing, but that is no big deal for God. God is in the business of bringing forth life. And besides, that is the role of the Holy Spirit, to bring forth life from the dead; bring forth light in the dark; and impart clarity in the confusion. So what do I do with the void? I am about to take the first step. How? By filling that empty void with something – start small – and as I fill it, it will begin to take shape. I am careful as to what it will be filled with. It must be something ''God'' gives me to put in the empty space. I must only put the things God gives me in that empty space. I want it to take on God’s shape. I will stay in compliance to His image. What He wants it to look like and what He looks like. It must take on His image and not mine. That settles it! That, in itself, is something I can implement into the void. I feel it is developing now into something just by saying that.


I am eager to see what He does and how the plan will unfold. God has prepared me for this day yet I don’t feel prepared. I don’t feel qualified even though I have all the qualifications. I am hungry for the anointing and His presence and that is all that matters now. God doesn’t call the carnally-wise, nor does He call the dignified and uppity ones; He calls us foolish to confound all that stuff! Why? So He gets the credit and then we can’t brag, can we? (1 Corinthians 1:26-29) Well that takes the pressure off doesn’t it? I can be a fool for Him! I have no problem with that.

`Every fresh new move of God in church history began with those who really did not know what they were doing or where they were going. Like Abraham, they had to leave the country that had form and substance, to seek God in a place that was still formless and void of definition.``   Rick Joyner

Rick goes on to say that we must be void of our own vision before we will look to Him – so I have to discern what’s me and get rid of it! I trust God to show me what is me and what is Him.

I don’t want my plan; I only want His plan. Strangely enough, I have found that God has been revealing to me parts of the plan just recently, in the last month! Dreams, visions and confirmations have come to my ears through prophetic words. God has also been showing me what He did not want. That part was really clear!! Now my eyes are strained and my ears are bent like a hunter's dog, to get what it is He is trying to tell me.


``Relax, Sharon. Relax!`` I say to myself. I don’t want strive for it but I am so excited and can hardly wait for it! I am praying that will happen this week while I am away from work and home, just soaking in His presence. I trust that as I cease striving and enter into His Rest, He will reveal many things to me. Yes, I will position myself, relax and tune to spontaneity to allow God to speak to me.


The Call, part of His bigger plan. He imparts gifts to us and then Calls us! It is irrevocable. He knew me while He was fashioning me in my mother’s womb. He imprinted the Call in my little heart and breathed the plan in my little spirit way back then. Now I am 54 years old and just now stepping into the plan that He has for me in His River. I used to fight this very thing. Now it is TIME. I must spend time at His feet now. It is so important that I spend that time now. Going deep.



Abram hears
the 'Call'
and follows God

AS FOR THE PLAN I AM WAITING FOR?  I know in part, and I do know that we are to do at least what Jesus did, so that is a clue to the plan that He is giving me, right? Jesus also said we would do even more amazing things than He did. So I will have to make room for that too, making sure I am not too rigid and leave lots of room for God and get out of His way so He can move. How do you put that in a blue-print? Just leave it empty and let God draft up the plan.


The call on my life is unique from another person’s, yet each of our calls will work with each other as a piece in the bigger picture. I love diversity and creativity. I love how we compliment and complete each other. I am seeking to identify my part to play in this bigger picture but I still don’t know where I am going; I can’t see that far, but I do know I want to be a part of what God is doing today. That is the biggest thing I know. I want in on what He is doing. I want His presence. I am tired of religion and tradition and I want something fresh. So, I will trust Him and believe like Abraham and just follow Him, not knowing where He is taking me but trusting Him all the while. I can’t come this far in my Christian life and not go forward. The Spirit is what moves me and there is no other way but straight ahead, toward the goal to my Jesus ~

  1. Sharon, you have no idea how this mirrors my own "season" in life right now! Waiting on God's timing is part of our exercise of faith...especially when you don't even know what EXACTLY you're waiting for! I am SO IN THE SAME BOAT!! And yet I sense the Spirit leading, breathing life, stirring up the cold embers that got buried under tradition and religious ritual. I'm tired of TALKING...we Christians talk a lot! I want to MOVE IN THE SPIRIT...MOVE...work, act, do, partner with Him. Is it HIS work we are seeking, or our own IDEA of what His work is? Ahhhh..therein is the waiting...waiting...the trying of our faith! Good word, sister!!! I am anticipating with excitement, the unfolding of His "assignments" for you and me!! :)))
