God is full of surprises

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying , "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

  I was outside on this cool  day reading this passage in Matthew when I heard the Spirit quietly whisper, don't be afraid to receive those things I am about to do because they are conceived by the Spirit of God. I knew the Father was drawing me to himself as I could feel the nudging to get alone with the Word and just read and listen.  Many of God's people will miss some of the workings of the Spirit because they will look strange, won't line up with their doctrine, will not be logical and will cause disruption.  I have heard many brothers and sisters say, it can't be the Lord because it caused disruption and division. I want to say if you think Jesus birth didn't cause disruption you need to think again. No woman had ever conceived a child by the Holy Spirit without knowing a man. Let me tell you that God is about to do some things that won't have the touch of man on it. These things will only have the signature of the Spirit of God on them and they will look strange. We have been warned and warned about strange fire to the point that , real fire will be missed because our minds are on alert to discern anything that looks unnatural.  But when God pours out his Spirit, you will know because you will have a witness in your spirit. The natural mind receives not the things of the Spirit because they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I hear the Lord say the body  needs to  spend time with me, seeking my mind and my Word. I will show you great and mighty things that you know not and have not because you have blocked your minds to spiritual things. You have made up your minds  not to receive anything you can't understand. Jesus birth would've have been offensive to you. It wasn't logical. It didn't make sense. Open your hearts and minds to the workings of the Holy Spirit because the Lord is going to began pouring it out in deep, unimaginable ways.

Ways that will bring awakening and renewal like we have never seen. Many will miss it because of intellectualism, skepticism, and legalism. But God wants to show us and prepare us for a great outpouring. His heart is to share it with you. Open your hearts. God may appear in ways our natural minds won't comprehend. Don't miss Him!
