Being filled

This has indeed been a journey. From the shaking of this ministry, to the sabbatical from God, to the death, to the restoration, to the true manifestation of our own selves in this season, and now to the building of the altar for the purposes of restoring order, I can whole-heartedly say this has been a walk...a walk of faith, a walk of trials and tribulations, a walk of humility, and most importantly, a walk of growth and maturity. I know without a doubt that through all of this, we all have felt like giving up or just pulling back, but as the Israelites in Numbers, we remained under the cloud. We did not move until the cloud lifted and wherever the cloud settled, it was there that we encamped. Why did I say this? Because as in Jeremiah, when the potter had to mold, mold, and do more molding, so the Lord had to do with us. And we were put in the fire to be tested...our flesh, our character, our integrity...everything about who we "said" we were had to be tested, so that our words were not in vain...so that we can live up to your "standards" and then be put back on the shelf until the Lord is ready to use us...and the time is now. I don't regret any decision or any situation that we've been put in...for all of this was spiritual and in order for the Lord to send us out, he had to rectify us internally. We had to be broken so that we can be in unity. Thank you Holy Spirit. And I speak life over this ministry as we embark on our destiny. I plead the blood of Jesus over each and every one of us. I declare that Your leaders are rising and will take charge of the ministries that you placed inside of us and to be excellent stewards over that what You've put in our possession. The time is now! In Jesus name...Amen.
