The unction of the Holy
Ghost has come upon me to speak as to answer this question: What does God want
to say to His people today?
We do not need a word as
much as we need the Word. One word sums up to what I am hearing:
Accountability. We must be led by the Spirit and the Word, not a spirit
with a word (Romans 8:14). God is calling His people to be accountable to
the Holy Spirit, to each other, and to their calling. Relationships are
broken because of the lack of accountability.
Divorce is loose because
people rather run than work through their issues. Churches are paralyzed
because we have not learned how to correctly and effectively mark those that
cause division among us (Romans 16:17). The leaven is causing leaven to
multiply because we are to scared to cut it out (1 Corinthians 5:6).
People do not fear (respect) the ministry because the ministry fears the
people.
The lack of
accountability to each other is a manifestation of the lack of
accountability to the Holy Spirit. There is so much that God desires to do
through and in us; yet, He cannot until we become accountable to Him. "For
the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..." (2
Chronicles 16:9). The seven eyes of the Lord are the seven spirits
of God that run to and fro throughout the whole earth (Revelation 5:5; Zechariah 4:10). This does not mean that God
has seven spirits; God has only one Spirit. This means that God has seven
different measures by which He holds the universe accountable to Himself.
God is calling His people
to accountability. We quit relationships because we cannot relate.
His ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts are higher than our
thoughts. Are we to quit God because we cannot relate? We quit
people because we cannot relate. We rather quit than try to understand,
we rather quit than to work through the issues, and we rather quit than
admit. We cannot admit that we cannot relate, so we quit.
"But to do good and
to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased" (Hebrews 13:16).
It is a sacrifice to communicate; however, to communicate is exactly what
God is well pleased with. We are more concern with a word than we are the
Word.
We must pray and
communicate with God; talk to God and listen to God.
