"Looking Beyond SEEMING Failures in your life."
Wade E. Taylor

"And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to His purpose." -- Romans 8:28
This does not say that all things are good, but that even
terrible things can work together to produce "good." This good is not the
"things" in themselves, but rather, that the "image" of our Lord Jesus Christ is
being wrought into our being, and these things have become a tool to accomplish
this.
"Till we all come in the unity
of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." --
Ephesians 4:13
If we rightly understand this, then it can be said that it
is possible for us to be "in" the will of God, while being "out" of the will of
God. This can only happen if our heart is unconditionally set toward the Lord.
Then the Lord is released to use these "things" to accomplish His purposes, and
also, to bring us into the very center of His will and purpose for us.
This principle can be seen in the life of Moses:
"Now Moses kept the flock of
Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian." -- Exodus 3:1a
Moses knew that he was called to deliver his people,
Israel. In his attempt to fulfill this calling, He failed and fled.
"And Moses was learned in all
the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. And when he
was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the
children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and
avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: For he supposed his
brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but
they understood not. Then fled Moses at this saying." -- Acts
7:22-25, 29a
Here, Moses is "ministering" in the wrong place to the
wrong people: Jethro's sheep. Some of us who find ourselves in a similar
situation feel that, although we have missed the best, we are doing the best we
can, or we have given up. However, some of us who feel "out" of place, intensely
desire something more and are pushing forward, seeking a meeting with the Lord.
Moses clearly fits in the second group. He was not feeling sorry for himself,
nor was he sitting and doing nothing. The original vision was still alive within
him, and he was doing the best he could with all that was available to him.
Moses was called to the "sheep" of Israel, but instead, he was faithfully
leading the "sheep" of the priest of Midian, toward the mountain of God. This
moved the heart of the Lord, who made an arrangement (a burning bush) wherein He
could meet with Moses. Thus, all this was working together for good. Being "out"
of the will of God, Moses was in the will of God. He was being brought to the
end of his own ability, which prepared him for his meeting with the Lord.
The Lord revealed Himself to Moses in a flame of fire. Thus, the bush burned,
but was not consumed. It can be said that it is yet burning, and available to us
-- if our attitude is as Moses' was, and we become willing to turn aside into
the Lord's manifested presence.
It would have been easier for Moses to remain in the wilderness with these sheep
than to go back and face his past failure - there was no one in the wilderness
to whom he could complain, so they could feel sorry for him, nor to criticize
what he was doing. Jethro's "sheep" were obviously much more cooperative and
appreciative, than the "flock" of Israel had been.
However, the intention of the Lord is always to prepare us, not only for us to
succeed where we had failed, but also for us to go "further." Therefore, the
Lord told Moses that he was to go back and face Pharaoh, and bring deliverance
to the very people from whom he had fled.
Because the Lord did not expect Moses to accomplish this in his own strength, as
he had before attempted, he was instructed to "take off his shoes." Moses had
walked as far as he could go in his own strength and ability. Now he would walk
in the Lord's shoes and strength.
This "intervention" did not take place until Moses had come to the full end of
his ability, and was willing to turn aside, as an acknowledgement of his need.
"And Moses said, I will now
turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned."
-- Exodus 3:3
According to modern religious thought, the burning bush
should have been in front of Moses, as the correction would come thru some new
methodology. Rather it was off to the side, and required an action on his part.
He had to notice, "turn" from what he was doing, and submit himself to the Lord.
This concept of turning is very close to the heart of the Lord, who greatly
desires that we both notice and respond to His presence. This ability does not
come quickly, or easily. It requires a coming to the end of our ways, and time
in the presence of the Lord, in order to develop a sensitivity to the spiritual
realm. If need be, the Lord has a "Jethro," and some special "sheep" who will
help accomplish this in our lives, if we will acknowledge that we have come to
the end of our abilities and ways, and cry out to the Lord in need of something
more.
"Blessed are the poor in
spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." -- Matthew 5:3
This means that we have become absolutely destitute
concerning any ability we may have, and in desperation, have become willing to
turn aside. Only then can we partake of the provision of the Kingdom.
"Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted." -- Matthew 5:4
When we seemingly become stranded in the wilderness, where
none of our giftings are able to function, we will mourn. We cannot help it, but
the Lord understands and will comfort us. This "comfort will result from the
impartation that we receive from the "burning bush" of His presence, by which we
receive the enabling grace of His ability, in exchange for the loss of our
abilities.
"Blessed are the meek: for
they shall inherit the earth." -- Matthew 5:5
Only now can we face and overcome the Pharaoh's in our lives -- all those things
that actively hinder us from fulfilling the call of God.
If we become willing to turn aside and stand in the presence of this "bush" that
yet burns, and receive the impartation that is available to us, this world will
yet be turned to the Lord.

Visitations:
The Epic of God's Heart
by Jill Austin with Heidi Baker & Ana Mendez
$24.00 CD
|
| |
 |
|
The Epic of God's Heart is the first of a unique series of recordings
presented by Jill Austin featuring men and women describing their heavenly
encounters. In this first volume, Jill Austin, Ana Mendez-Ferrell, and Heidi
Baker each recount in detail visitations they personally experienced. These
visitations or "open visions" are not faint impressions or imaginative mental
pictures. Rather, they are real encounters with the living Son of God not unlike
that of Paul the Apostle - "...whether in the body I do not know, or whether
out of the body I do not know, God knows - [I] was caught up to the third
heaven" (2 Cor. 2:12).
The Epic of God's Heart is presented as a 2-disc set. The first CD is
Jill Austin, Heidi Baker, and Ana Mendez-Ferrell describing their personal,
radical encounters with Christ in the first person cut to cutting-edge,
God-inspired music. The second CD is the actual instrumental tracks by
themselves used as a tool for your own times of secret-place prayer,
intercession, and visitation.

 Dear
Friend,
In creating this series of
Visitations CDs, my heart's desire is for you to personally enter into the heart
of Jesus and radically encounter our beautiful God. I long for you to be utterly
ruined with the love and the emotions of our Beloved. May you be reawakened with
fresh revelation of the cross and become hopelessly and violently abandoned to
your First Love. The journey awaits you. More Lord! - Jill Austin
 "Visitations
will not disappoint you. It is an intense journey into the ultimate adventure -
the pleasure of Gods heart." - Bill Johnson, Author of
"When Heaven Invades
Earth"; Website: http://www.ibethel.org
 "For
years I have waited for true prophets to relate their heavenly visions in spoken
and musical form. They see what others have not imagined. The fruit of these
visions speaks for itself. Visitations is a must-hear!" - Wesley
Campbell, Founder New Life Church, Revival Now, Author of Be A Hero, Praying
the Bible; Website: http://www.beahero.org
 "Visitations
is an incredible CD. As you listen, you are drawn into the prophetic experience
sensing the pathos, seeing the colors, hearing the sounds. You will glean a new
understanding of the heart of God, with resulting transformation in your daily
life." - Stacey Campbell,
http://www.beahero.org
"I have never listened
to a CD where I have had to turn if off within the first minute, feeling as if I
was illegally intruding. These revelations recorded for you and I are a gift of
the Father's grace, freely drawing us into treasures beyond any earthly value.
They breed holy reverence." - Wesley Tullis, President, G4 Mandate,
Former Director of World Prayer Center and Pastor of Prayer at New Life Church
in Colorado Springs, CO
"These are glimpses of
glory and of God's incredible heart of love. Listen for yourself and allow these
recordings to transport you into heavenly places." - Jane Campbell,
Editorial Director, Chosen Books
