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 ~

NEW BEGININGS

Begining whatever it is you are starting up...we are starting up the tractor!

I have made a decision to begin my autumn by implementing a plan; yes an agenda.  I hate agenda's, but in this case it is to develop and establish new habits in my life by bringing myself under self-control and discipline. There will be many changes in the new plan that I am going to embrace and glue myself to it no matter how hard I groan.  I used to do this a few years back so I know there is a furrow already made in my spiritual DNA that I can easily slide into again.  I am looking forward to it.  Okay- back to beginings...

How I begin anything will play a huge part in the quality of whatever it is.  "HOW" is a key word. How I start off something new will also be a factor in the quality of the finished product. In looking back I can see that when I have started something even a project on the spur of the moment with all my impulsivity - but with good intentions...  they seemed to have either peter-out or be abandoned.  I am purposed in my heart now as I am older and wiser not to parent a project and then abandon the child.  How significant this plan is to me, and how much importance I want it to have will hinge on the amount of tender loving care and time I put into it. I must be patient to let it grow.  I must be patient in the fetal stages and not rush the development or something may be missing or crippled in the growth stages.  I must take the time to dig deep, so the foundations that are built will support the project.  If I dig too deep and don't build huge, no harm is done. If I don't dig deep and then the building takes off - I am in trouble!  It will topple.  So I must take care.  Prayerfully getting the strategies from God for every step.  

The foundation is the part that is used every day.  We stand on it; we build on it; we put weight on it and it supports us and we depend on that!   If the foundation that I build collapses because I didn't dig deep enought the rest of the building will collapse as well, so I must take special care what I am building on.  

The only foundation there is is Jesus Christ.  He is the rock bed and the corner stone but I must dig deep. "Knowing Jesus and abiding in Him is the foundation of our spiritual lives!"

"We may build many things upon this foundation, and we may learn many great truths about His ways and His purposes. We may do great things for Him, but coming to Him every day, and doing all that we do with Him instead of just for Him, is essential if we are to bear true spiritual fruit."  Rick Joyner

The purpose and foundation of all things must be summed up in Jesus.  I must be careful to keep the purposes of God as the focus of my life and all I do.  That is my measuring stick.  All I do should be founded and grounded in Jesus or l may find myself distracted by the lesser purposes of God. 

I don't want to be side tracked and I don't wan't to loose track of what I am called to do by being busy with things that are not His purpose for my life.  I need to take stock of my life - tear down and rebuild as Jeremiah 1:9  says.  

If it is not working ... then check the foundation! 

(My husband recieved this scripture 12 years ago from
Kerry Reid, along with a prophetic picture of driving a tractor and plowing deep. Kerry saw him as a root bound pot and needed a large feild to be planted in so he could grow to his full potential. [this reminds me of another field word we heard this summer!] He needed to be replanted and taken out of the little pot so he could grow a stronger root system- growin deep in the soil.  The ploughing had to be done first so he had a prepared soil ready to recieve.)   We can't grow in clay!

Jeremiah 1:9 (The Message)

9-10God reached out, touched my mouth, and said,

"Look! I've just put my words in your mouth—hand-delivered!

See what I've done? I've given you a job to do

among nations and governments—a red-letter day!

Your job is to pull up and tear down,

take apart and demolish,

And then start over,

building and planting."

THE HORSE DUG FURROW..    Dig deep before you plant the seed.  Horses are prophetic of intercession.  Prayer and hard work digging in and going deep to prepare the ground.  Nothing, absolutely nothing can be established without the prayer work behind it bringing it to life - birthing it - and nurturing it to grow.
