Musing: Looking for God

You probably have already discovered this God isn’t speaking the way he has spoken for years. There has been a shift in how God is doing things. If we are looking for the Holy Spirit voice or direction for the most part it won’t be through his past methodology.  It is part of the word from Joshua 3:4  “for you have not passed this way before.”

I believe 1 Kings 19:11-12 does a good job of in explaining what I believe is a word from the Lord. There is something we need to learn from these 2 verses.

• 1 Kings 19:11-12 “Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.”

Since the beginning of this year (2020) I have seen God do the most unusual things. It seems that he is breaking all the old-paradigms. He is not in the obvious. If we look for God it what was you’re going to be very disappointed and frustrated.

He is the God outside of our boxes. That is a lesson we should learn from Israel when Jesus started his ministry. The priests and the majority of Israel didn’t recognize God working through Jesus because it was different from what they were familiar with.

Here’s a good word “lets blow up our boxes.”
