The Head

Who has stood in the presence of the Lord to know His seasons? God’s nature is not a season, but has always existed. His plans have always been, from the beginning. And yet men call parts of God’s nature a season as if they are just discovering it, and as if that very nature was finite.

Those who stand in God’s presence will speak from His nature, for His Words are Living and impart the Great I Am. The speaker will impart what is ancient. To do this, those who prophesy must stop seeking what is new. Until we become comfortable with the eternal nature of God, we cannot represent Him in speech.

God builds on foundations He has laid. What seems to be a different season to Man is merely the next layer the Lord is building with. He does not discard what He is doing and start something unrelated; the Lord has a plan He is working with. If we would be observant, we could see through the lens of the Holy Spirit . . . observing the materials and layers the Lord is bringing on the earth to accomplish His plan. Each aspect the Holy Spirit focuses on is permanent and does not leave the work God is doing.

The Bible tells us that we must grow up into the Head, Jesus Christ (Eph 4:15). God is building us through a maturing process, to grow up into His nature. There is no season to our growth, but a permanent incorporating of His nature into ours. We will not know His prosperity or favor, his victories or open doors because of seasons God has set in the earth. These things come not because of a proclamation, but because of our relationship with God, and His will in our own personal lives. Some may find great trials during another’s time of prosperity. God is a personal God who has an individual plan for each one of His saints, woven into the overall plan for His Bride.

Before we make lists of what God will do in a year, or proclamations of a season during which God will do a certain thing on the earth, let us consider whether or not our words represent the nature of God. Are they our own conclusions, or is He revealing Himself through us? Then we will be building the saints up into the nature of God, into the Head, Jesus. Amen.
