The wind is a funny thing. We do not know where it comes from nor where it goes. We cannot see it, but we can see and feel its effects. Wind can be gentle and refreshing, cold or hot, strong, and dangerous, and everything in between. When the wind blows, we must decide our stance. Will we stand and face it, turn against it, or get out of it altogether? It depends on the behavior of the wind. We know that we cannot control it as it will blow where and when it pleases. There is also a spiritual wind of which we should be aware.

The wind is a funny thing. We do not know where it comes from nor where it goes.
We cannot see it, but we can see and feel its effects. Wind can be gentle and refreshing, cold or hot, strong, and dangerous, and everything in between. When the wind blows, we must decide our stance.
Will we stand and face it, turn against it, or get out of it altogether? It depends on the behavior of the wind. We know that we cannot control it as it will blow where and when it pleases.
There is also a spiritual wind of which we should be aware. With spiritual winds, we need to understand that some we step into, some we speak peace into, and others we take shelter. In the spiritual realm, we must be able to discern from where the wind is coming.
Ephesians 4:14 talks about the damaging winds of false doctrine and deceit. They will erode our foundation, distance us from God, steal our destiny, and hold us in bondage. Winds that are not from Heaven are deceptive and damaging. We need spiritual eyes to see what is coming and respond accordingly.
In Mark 4, we have Jesus telling the winds to calm down. He exercised his authority to bring peace to the storm. Some winds try to swamp us so we must speak peace. Failure to discern that moment can damage ourselves and those around us.
In Acts 2, we have the well-known account of Pentecost. As the disciples gathered, a strong wind came from Heaven and invaded the room where they were praying. This wind ushered in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Heaven-sent winds are always worth leaning into as they change our lives.
When we hear the wind blowing, we must be like the sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 12:32), who understood the times and seasons. The only way we mature in this level of discernment is to be in the Word, spend time with God, and grow in a relationship with Him; as we lean into Him, our ability to discern increases. As our ability to discern increases, we will know how to address the winds that blow in, around, and through our lives.
Heavenly Father, open my senses to feel the wind around me and increase my discernment to know what to do when the wind blows. Help me see, feel, hear, and respond to the wind blowing around me. Give me the words when and authority when I need to speak peace to the wind. Give me the wisdom and courage to lean into the Heaven-sent winds and to partner with what you are doing. Give me a desire for your Word that I am firmly grounded and will not be tossed about by the winds of false doctrine and compromise. Heavenly Father, blow your wind over me. I invite you to invade my space.

"My people are shrinking to fit into a space they are not meant for." This morning, the Lord gave me a dream in which round pegs were dropping into square holes. This is an analogy that we usually use where the round peg would not be able to fit into a square hole. However, as I inquired of the Lord about this picture, He said His people are becoming smaller to fit into an expected space.

When I was pregnant with my children, each one held a space of wonder in my heart. I thought about the exact date they would be born on. I would ponder what their height and weight would be. I wondered at times, by the amount of movement I felt, if they would be future break-dancers or gymnasts! As Christmas approached, I found myself pondering how Mary was feeling. She would walk through so many emotions and experiences.

Some people are great at learning new languages. However, I get tongue-tied and provide a comedy routine rather than an accent as I try to speak in another language. However, there is a language that every believer is created to speak and understand, the language of heaven. For the believer, this is not their second language, but their primary one. It is not a backup, but the primary line of thinking. Everything changes when we understand we are created to partake in the language of heaven.
