| WORD FOR THE WEEK |
"A
visitation is coming from outside the prevailing structures and
patterns of the church. It will challenge us as to whether we will go to
Him outside the boat, or stay within the security of man-made
structures. Could it be possible that many of us who are `networking'
are only reconfiguring the old – merely re- arranging the present
structures? There is a new move coming so radically different we will
all need to step out from where we are. It will be a reformation which
turns us from hanging on to our structures to the person of Jesus – and
to the principle of incarnation – the awesome reality of God manifest in
a human body.
We will be faced with the choice of stepping out into His `presence' or staying with our `patterns'.
The issue is one of control. Will we hang on, toiling in our own strength – or will we let go, fleeing only to Him?"
