Jesus Wept 2/19/13




  We sing songs about taking the mask off and we sing "I surrender all" but the pain of letting go of all we hide behind is to painful.  Spirit of the Lord sets all men and women free.  To finally face the pain the church needs the Spirit of the Lord present.  Holy Spirit presence is mandatory to experience the freedom of the Lord.  We use the word transparency loosely in the church and the world but to have transparency we must have a death of the old and a rebirth of the new.  We have this "living hope" and we know Father God is not going to leave us in this mess we are in.  We will be a bride dressed in a spotless white gown. 

What do we as individuals and as the corporate church need to do:
Pray and stand in the gap for one another
We are to be a midwife and quite giving an epidural to those seeking the churches help. The church must learn to sit in the mess with others and do as Jesus did, JESUS WEPT.  Learn to listen, and weep with your hurting brother and sister in Christ and come along side with truth.

To be this midwife we must have the presence of Holy Spirit.  We must become the house of prayer Jesus told us to be.

Jesus,
I know the world is looking for the Holy.  Start with me Lord.  Holy Spirit teach us to seek the fulfillment of God's word in the body of Christ.

Amen
