"Alignments, Seasons and Pop Goes the Weasel!"

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."—Jeremiah 29:11-14

Alignments

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."—John 10:27

When a spine is out of alignment in a person, it can throw many things off in the body. Our alignments are very important. It is important to know where we are called to be, who we are called be with, what we are called to do and how we are to implement the things that God is calling us to. We can fast, pray, strive and do all kinds of spiritual works, but if we are out of alignment, all these things may not have the full impact on our lives that we desire.

When we are in proper alignment there is much more ease and grace to accomplish what God calls us to. Sometimes God is speaking and showing us what we need to do, but we just keep doing our spiritual routines rather than the one thing He desires from us. We will find much more grace when we simply yield to that one thing and silence the noise of all the activities.

"These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb."—Revelation 14:4

God is calling His Body to get in alignment both personally and corporately. He calls us to a place of peace that is beyond natural circumstances. The season that we are in right now, as we seek the Lord, will help to bring us into the alignments that God has for us. God will use things to bring us into hot pursuit of His counsel and will. For many, this is a time of discomfort. In this, God will bring us into a place of utter contentment in His Presence as we come close to the Comforter, Holy Spirit. Sometimes we just need to find out what that one thing is that God is requiring of us. It is usually one thing, not many.
