The Move Is Jesus

"We pray for a 'move,' for 'miracles,' and miss THE MOVE IS JESUS."

WHAT IS God’s heart for today? For this moment in time. While many are looking at yesterday or configuring tomorrow’s prophecy, within us is heaven continually speaking. We pray for a “move,” for “miracles,” and miss THE MOVE IS JESUS, the Father, and the Holy Spirit, and those majestic recreations of physical bodies and minds are people.

Minister Bill Johnson teaches his congregation how to lay hands on the sick and pray healing. He teaches students under his tutelage how to hear the Spirit speak particular facts about those in the congregation. Here is the reason to gather for worship. We are to speak the good news of salvation and train those listening how to live as walking temples filled with God’s Presence. Which is what we are. Inside me is the answer for those who are hurting. I have seen death, refused it, and kept climbing upward. I have spoken to the Father, to Jesus, to the Spirit, and speak from Him to you. I don’t need a service, stretching hours, and a single man of God to do all the work. Though I honor those placed in authority, and I listen to the one chosen to do the speaking, I can touch people wherever I go. And from home, in the secret place, in the dead of night, pray in the Spirit and change men’s todays.

I have sat in a healing class with twenty others, there to hear God’s heart for their health, and known down the road is a hospital full of those ailing and across town the elderly, those in mental wards, those broken in poverty who hear nothing. I have sat in a congregation and rejoiced and wondered who teaches these what Jesus did to heal them. God is love. I have shared this before. But I woke up two mornings in a row, a few years ago, surrounded by the endless love of God. I cannot go back to selfish-Suzanne. I weep with those who are weeping. I rejoice with those who overcome. I wince at descriptions of the devil and devils that are woefully wrong, and hear evil intentions in the voices of those who know better.

Doesn’t matter what you call it, offense is offense, hatred is hate. And sexual innuendo has no place in the church.

I’m not saying we all need to be like Bill, although in some senses, that is not a bad thing. He has overcome great loss with amazing strength and understands, more than anyone I’ve heard, how to recover. But there are many ways to communicate the same thing, all done in the leading of the Holy Spirit. Worship can be formal, as it was with the Old Covenant Jews, or simple as those who prefer no instrumentation. All teaching must be from the Word of God. Yet, whatever the language, whatever the style of it, the Presence of God in it, should flow from us into those around us and we become, not brash, loudmouth braggarts, but peaceful, quiet, strengths.

In meekness, there is boldness. If you doubt it, you don’t know Jesus.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:29 KJV)

“For it was God’s pleasure to have his entire identity, character—the fullness of his essence—live in Christ” (Colossians 1:19, Remedy)
