Spiritual Activation

In reading the scriptures, you find that there were several people during Jesus's Day that were "waiting for the Kingdom of God". Joseph of Arimathaea, the "secret disciple" of Christ (John 19), is described as one who "also waited for the Kingdom of God" (Mark 15). In Luke chapter 2, the scripture describes Simeon at Jesus's birth as one who was "waiting for the consolation of Israel". And then in Luke chapter 3, the scripture says that the people "were in expectation...whether he were the Christ". These scriptures show that during the time of Jesus, there was an expectation for the manifestation of the Kingdom of God.

Why is this significant? Because we are now in a Day of Expectation. We are now in a "waiting" period. There ought to be in all of our hearts and spirits a deep anticipation for what God is getting ready to release in the earth. He's getting ready to release A Kingdom Move of God. Many of the saints have been waiting for a Move of God. The Spirit has had many of us in preparation, in training, in pruning, in purging, in development; all in anticipation of the Manifestation of the Kingdom of God. I'm sure some of you are saying, "how much longer"? I'm sure there are others of you that are wondering, "I don't know if I can take much more". Be encouraged saints! The time of the Father draweth nigh. But here's what we want to understand: we're simply waiting now for Spiritual Activation.

I am believing that if you've been submissive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit for your life, then you've been in spiritual training and development for the last roughly 3 to 5 years ( in terms of intense spiritual deliberation). You've been challenged to endure a lot of shifts, a lot of changes, a lot of sacrifices, and a lot of waiting. But I want to assure you, it's not in vain. Remember the disciples (of Jesus) went through the same type of training with the Master.

But if you remember, after Jesus was resurrected, He gave them one last Face to Face training session on the Kingdom of God (Acts 1). They then asked the question (and I paraphrase), how much longer do we have to wait for the Manifestation of the Kingdom? Jesus did not answer their question directly, but He answered their question: once you've been Spiritually Activated. That's all we're waiting for now saints. If you've been faithful to the Lord and you've carried out what He's assigned you to do during this Season, then rest assured, you will experience Kingdom Manifestation in your life. Our testimony should be that of Job, "all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come" (Job 14). In Acts chapter 2, the Disciples were finally Spiritually Activated. Just like Moses was at the Burning Bush, just like David was as he fought Goliath, just like Jesus was when He was baptized by John the Baptist and empowered in the wilderness after enduring Satanic attack. Hang on in there saints just a little while longer. And just like the Disciples, once they experienced and received Spiritual Activation, God will use us to change the world.
