TRAVAILING IN THE SPIRIT

01/26/2024

"My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you" (Galatians 4:19).

There can be no God-change without travail. And how long the travail will last is God-determined. You cannot hasten the conversion of souls in your city. But one thing that is sure is that if you travail long enough, a God-change will be born. The Bible says, "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children. Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the LORD. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God" (Isaiah 66:8-9). God, who helps you in the process of travailing for your family, community, and country, is also able to bring your travailing to a productive finish. 

This is why we have the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26 says, "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." In other words, the Holy Spirit helps us conceive, travail, and bring to birth His agenda among people. Make no mistake about it; God wants two things from people primarily: that they be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. 

There are a lot of people on the earth who are neither saved nor know the truth. Therefore, dedicating a significant portion of your time to conceive these people and subsequently navigating through their transformation will need to replace the considerable time that you would have otherwise spent idling. Ephesians 5:15-16 says, "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." In the words of Evangelist T. L. Osborn, God will make certain people "beautiful in your eyes." Beautiful enough to pray and cry until they are saved and then catch a fire for God. 

The city, celebrity, national leader, and country would not turn to the Lord until you travail. And when you travail, travail in the spirit until there is a change. In the spirit, there are campfires beginning to burn across the world, and these fires accomplish the purpose of gathering men, women, and children to the Lord. It is time to set yourself on fire, Church, and burn in prayer. For as one man, many will enter cities, barracks, and fortresses and take out my chosen ones from the dark into the light, says the Lord. They will enter by intercession and relieve the bowels of Zion, for as soon as she was pregnant, she gave birth. 

Travailing is the only way to bring about a God-change, and many in Christian circles have captured it with the idea called, P.U.S.H--Pray Until Something Happens. We are going to pray like this in many instances this year, where you stay on the matter until there is a God-change.

Have a beautiful day!

Faith-Filled Confession

I am sensitive to offer the right spiritual sacrifices required to enact God-changes. I bring everything that is out of course in my life, society, and country into conformity with the divine order. In Jesus' name. Amen
