Birth Pains



I want to encourage those who are feeling the birth pains of The Living Word and those who presently carry the prophetic burden of the Lord. Our season of birthing and coming forth is being wrought by great pain and travail. 

Rev. 12:5, KJV
  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: 
             and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne. 

The spiritual experiences (dreams, visions, prophetic words…) awaken us to a love and a longing for The Lord. The temptation is to camp around these experiences but there is so much more. We are being prepared to function in harmony with Gods end time purposes. It is a lifetime of pressing into the riches in Christ that are available to us now. This Spirit of Life is full of extremes of activity, pouring itself into every circumstance in selfless love and yet inwardly abiding in unbroken rest. There is never a time that the anointing isn’t speaking to our hearts. If we submit to the discipline of this life giving Spirit, He will prune, plant and build, water the dry places, pluck up and destroy, open what was closed, light up the dark places, warm the cold places, straighten the crooked path, make the low places high and the high places low so that we progressively loose our identity in Him. It is  a birthing out of the natural and into the Kingdom. 

Gal. 4:19 (The Living Bible)
  Oh, my children, how you are hurting me! I am once again 
  suffering for you the pains of a mother waiting for her child to be 
  born—longing for the time when you will finally be filled with Christ.
