Ride on the Spirit's Winds

Ride on the Spirit's Winds

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh from, and wither it goest: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit. John 3:6-8

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knewth Him not. 1John 3:1

The born again phenomenon is far beyond what we can fully know or think. The one born again of the Spirit of God is unpredictable even by himself or herself.

When that unpredictability is removed one way or the other, the essence of being born of the Spirit is defeated.

What God has prepared for the one born of His Spirit is beyond what eyes have seen, what ears have heard or whatever has entered into the mind of man earlier.

The only one who knows what next is the Holy Spirit, the pressure that dictates the direction of the carrying wind! 

We hear the sound of the wind, where it's coming from or where it's heading aren't easily predictable to the one in the wind or to those watching....the direction per time is dictated by the unseen pressure gradient that is hard to influence...so is the child of God.

In so doing God accomplishes His will in His child, through him or her and for him or her.

The problem we have however is that we love to be predictable. We want to be seen as consistent. We love to be seen as organised. We love routine and habits. We love to have a pattern. We love to maintain a course, we don't like change and we'd rather not plan for it or expect it. We believe our success is based on our regimen both in the short day or in our long years. Both in the short and in the long term plans.

Yes, worldly success is achieved by this straitjacket system. And so the one born of the Spirit would also want to be strapped if that's what produces results according to those born in the flesh...

In so doing we strap the Spirit also in the straitjacket subjecting both the Spirit and the carrier to the forces of nature to produce the results that only man can hail.

Definitely, the world can't relate with the unpredictable nature of being born and borne of the Spirit. The wisdom in that is too high and too complex to reveal any good outcome of it. Even the one born of the Spirit and borne by Him would need faith to be sure the wind of the Spirit won't just dump him or her in an unknown desert...

When Elijah was raptured, the sons of the prophet went searching, to be sure he hadn't been dumped in one remote area to die of hunger and exhaustion! Such is the fear of riding upon the winds and the wings of the Holy Ghost in destiny.

But we need be sure that underneath are the everlasting arms. When He upholds, we are kept from falling as only Him can keep us from falling. When He carries, no one can pluck us from His hands...Jesus lost none of all that the Father gave to Him except Judas, the son of perdition. We are God's sons, and not sons of perdition and so nothing should cast the fear of being lost in us...

If only we can let go and let God: Casting out the fear of falling by the love God has for us, with the assurance that He's never weary to allow us fall or fail...we can ride and enjoy the ride...with the breeze blowing us in the wind till He power us to the place He had before prepared for us...

If we quench the Spirit for the fear of crashlanding, we'll remain grounded, predictable and in the long run uninspiring and unfulfilled!

The Holy Spirit-craft is ever ready since we got born again to carry us on the ride of destiny and if we can stop the regimen that stops us and without the fear of what ignorant men would say, throw off the straitjacket, stretch our arms so that the Holy Spirit can carry us on the ride...we'll be shocked as much as those watching, how it'll produce in us that which the eyes have never seen, nor ear heard or hasn't entered into human imagination, of things which God has before provided that we walk in them....

I commend you therefore unto the Spirit of the living God, praying that He'll stretch His wings to carry you to places beyond your imagination as you totally yield to His winds from within in Jesus name!
