Climate change is coming.

Do you feel it? When the weather changes we can feel it in the air, when summer changes into fall we feel it and we see it in things around us, the trees change color, in some parts snow begins to fall. We walk outside in the morning and we can see our breath. When we change from winter into spring we feel the newness in the air and see the effects of life being renewed about us. There is something stirring in the spiritual realm, do you feel it? The climate is changing. We are moving from one season into another one. The number eight in the Hebrew means open gates, new beginnings, this is 2008 and God has been doing some new things in the church, leading His people through gates of opportunity and spiritual gains. The number nine in Hebrew means completeness and fullness, literally a 'harvest of fullness'. I believe what we are doing now for Him will translate into a harvest of fullness in the coming season. During this time of new beginnings He is changing your spiritual climate, things that mattered to you but weren't high on His priority list is being replaced with His heart. Do you feel it? The climate is changing and when you move from this season of your life into the next, into fullness, like winter changing into spring, a new passion, a new desire for the Spiritual, a desire for His heart will replace the things from the winter months. Don't dread the winter season, though its the time that things appear to die and have no value, its a necessary process in God's order of things, though it may appear dead, the trees actually have life flowing through them. Your life may reflect death on the outside, your dreams may appear over, but the climate is about to change, fullness of harvest is coming, spring will come and life will bubble over. Do you feel the climate changing? The greatest days of the church are just about upon us, we are living in exciting times, times that the Bible has spoken about. The climate is changing!
