The Lord spoke to me this morning, saying,
“He is of worth to his Father as a son. Nothing missing, nothing broken.”
Jesus sat and rejoiced in His words being brought forth. No more sin. No more condemnation. The past is passed; it will be no more.
In times past, when a woman was in labour and about to give birth, they used to put her in stirrups. This was so that the birth canal could be more easily seen, in anticipation of helping her in her delivery. But this is such an unnatural position for a woman to give birth in, that it can unnecessarily prolong her labour, making it harder for the woman to bear down. The process of delivery is not unique; it is common to all women.
So it is with the birth of a church. There is no formula for running a church. The only formula for following Jesus, is to listen to His voice and to do what He tells us to do.
Jesus said,
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
— John 10:27
Let them speak the things He gives them to speak and do the things He has called them to do. Amen.
