God's Strategic Plan

God's Strategic Plan. I'll never know it completely - Its sheer detail would no doubt kill me in a jiffy if I tried to (the literal time measurement, not with peanut butter). Tonight though, I was given a glimpse of it. My New Year's vision further expanded. In that vision I was in a tunnel and knew that everyone was in their own tunnels, being given the choice to live fully for God. Today though, I was fractally moved back and was able to see more of His plan. What I saw was order, overwhelming and perfect order. The tunnels of each person formed a gird - a perfect gird that covered the earth and left no one alone. These intersecting tunnels were patterned perfectly and then something crazy happened - actually something sane happened - God was given control of some of the tunnels. The tunnels weren't filled with water or wind as I had first supposed, instead they were full of a God flammable liquid. Turning towards His purposes was only the first part of our tunnel life - it was only the first step of us transitioning - now that we were in the correct position we could be propelled, or as Pastor has said we would be compelled. Compelled by God. Giving control over to God meant one thing in this tunnel - that the whole tube would burst into Holy fire and rocket us in God's purposes. Complete and total abandonment of our lives as we may wish them, for something as scary as that unquenchable, never-ending, always burning pure fire for God. It will burn up everything in us that's not of Him and it's unstoppable - there is no turning back from such a flame - it becomes a necessity and it will be the only thing keeping us whole in God's presence. This fire that encompassed the tunnels had another role as well - the power to affect change. The fire tunnels were strategic in the gird - each person was given opportunities to meet it - to take up the fire and run with it. The area of influence was amazingly intricate - designed so graciously by our Creator for us. To be on fire for God is something I get - it's not just for us, but often about fighting for family members, friends and all those who are lost and desperately in need of Him. I get being on fire for God and wanting to affect change towards Him, but I never pictured it as a plan. I should have, but I couldn't - it's not the way I think - which is why this glimpse into a minuet portion of His plan was so comforting and encouraging to me. If we choose to turn towards His will and take on the fire of His work, He can affect the world through us. These burdens for individuals, nations, and the world are not meant to be carried individually or even corporately - we are important pieces in His plan, but what stood out most in this vision was the support system that God has in place, one larger and more complex than we can conceive. What an honor to be part of such a movement, one that we were quite simply made for.

Deuteronomy 7:22
" And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. "

--> His timing. His timing makes sense even when we are so stuck in the present that we can't see past our today. He is logical in ways we cannot believe. Everything comes together into His purposes.
