Under the Shadow Of His Wings

Throughout the year 2015, the words" shadow of His wings" brought great release and comfort in my times of meditation.  A precious truth shed its light on my soul is that as we abide in Christ, in His presence, wonderful change happens.  The great secret is that even if we spend hours in prayer and the moment we walk away from prayer and live in our own thought patterns, not much change happens… not that I am underestimating prayer, but the illuminating fact is His Presence.

On New Years Eve 2016, Pastor Solomon in Bangalore spoke a wonderful message about dwelling under the shadow of God's wings, abiding and hiding there.  Under that shadow, we are deeply protected.  Peter dwelt in the Presence of God, and when his shadow fell on the people, they got healed!  Such change can happen when we dwell under His Shadow.

Dwelling under His shadow protects us from harm, danger, evil, accidents, and untoward events and even protects our relationships.  We get supernatural grace and strength for situations...

Dwelling in the presence of God pours out great blessing to the world around us.  It is only then that we can see walls crumble down, lives transform, nations even repent and call upon God, people get healed, delivered, and becomes shinning vessels in a world of darkness to illuminate the darkness with the Light of God.

In His Light, we see Light.  Our dark minds are unveiled and only then can we see the supernatural realm to understand situations and events beyond our natural limited perspective.

A little example is whenever I am in a walking, talking communion relationship with the Lord, I see change around me.  It never fails to amaze me.  Even in the family, even with others, wonderful change starts to spring forth and situations start to change, locked iron doors swing open, and new avenues start to open up.  On the other hand, if I spent hours praying about the same thing in desperation, not much seems to happen.  Why?  Simple!  Because when we start to seek Him, and His presence, He starts to change things around us, but if we just want the answers from Him, and want and want and want, we are never satisfied and we are actually struggling in our flesh with issues we do not have the power to overcome.

In 2016 onwards, there are many prophesies of doom, but let us not get overcome by the gloom.  If we abide under the Shadow of the Almighty, living in His presence, not walking in and out of His Shadow, but literally dwelling, our shadows in Christ can impact the world around us. We can pray for a last great revival before the Lord takes away the church in the rapture and it will happen, as over the centuries, the Lord has touched nations and they have turned to Him in repentance revivals. If you can get hold of a wonderful book Revival Fire by Wesley Duewel which is a documentation of the centuries of revival over the ages, it will transform your life to pray and except miracles that happen when we pray.

If we pray and keep abiding under His Shadow, we can experience a great outpouring of His Spirit again on the nations and see nations turn to Christ before the rapture of the Church, before prophesies of the anti-Christ and such come to pass.  We can expect great things and attempt great things for God the years forward.  Amen.
