Standing at the Edge of Your Jordan
For many of us who have been in the Wilderness for a long time, we now sense that we are at the end of it and we
are standing right at the edge of entering our promised land ministry life. We are at a place where we are tired, weary, and
really not up for anything beyond God's miracles to restore us. I want to encourage you today, that just like Jesus waited
for Lazarus to be really dead before the miracle of resurrection came, God has allowed your life to become good and stinking
dead before He resurrects you with new life, new strength, new provision, new vision, new power, new hope, and new giftings
to help the many people he wants to help.
God knows you are eager to run across your spiritual Jordan river right now and that you feel like you cannot take
even one more day of the Wilderness, but He wants you good and dead before He performs His string of miracles to resurrect
you. Partly because you need to be stable and purified to stand during His times of blessing, and also because He wants you
and others to see that your restoration was a complete miracle and work of His hands, and not of human hands. This is a time
to finish whatever needs to be finished and to be listening for His voice to speak new words into your heart. You will soon
be given the order to cross over.
ISA 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow
tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar
on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
