When God Moves

In those days when sadness is all around we need a effort to decide to look up to our Savior to rest in Him, believe in His promises and share His amazing hope above the circumstances. Jesus thank you, because You always talk to me beyond my expectations. Let's soar in His wind.

When God Moves

March 1, 2012

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.—John 3:8 (NIV)

By Anne Graham Lotz

March is the windy month. And when I see the evidence of the wind in the bending trees and rippling lake water, I’m reminded of the example Jesus used in John 3:8 to describe God’s movement in a person’s life. He said, “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going” (NIV).

Have you ever prayed for the Wind to blow? “God, would You please move in this situation? Do something! Make Yourself known!” And have you assumed that His movement would be wrapped in glory and blessing? That if only God would move in your family, in your marriage, in your church, in your community, in your own life, something dramatic would happen, and things would get better?

Hosea was an Old Testament prophet who also longed to experience the movement of God in his life and in his country. But in his wisdom, he knew that the movement of God is not always pleasant. In fact, it can be painful. Read Hosea 6:1-3.

I. GOD’S MOVEMENT IS PAINFUL 

II. GOD’S MOVEMENT IS PROGRESSIVE 

III. GOD’S MOVEMENT IS PURPOSEFUL 

IV. GOD’S MOVEMENT IS POWERFUL 

As you view your life, or that of your loved one or your friend …

As you view your church, or this nation, or this world …

Ask God to give you eyes to see the Wind.

It’s blowing!
