Warrior? Wanderer? Is your heart ready for the fountains of the deep to be broken up?

The fountains of the deep?   
The fountains of your deepest security, love, comfort, and peace will be broken up in the present wave of the Spirit.   

Our approach to the Spirit's work in our hearts will have a deep effect on our deep fountains.  The Father is sweeping through the hearts of those that love him and breaking up the deepest places.   Over time we have made our comfort and security something other than the Father.   This way will be exposed, broken up and healed.   

The idols of our lives (anything that has more of our affection than the Father's heart and anything we have to ask before doing the will of the Father)  will be torn down because of the Father's love. 

In the process everything we have known for comfort, strengthening and security will be broken up for new fountains in the Spirit.   The process is going to call us into the Battle and into being warriors.   Those that refuse the Spirit's infusion of restored righteousness will find themselves wanderers.      


What do the two ways look like?   Here is a brief description of what I am seeing. 


Warriors –
·         Carve out good things in the hope of inheritance
·         Stand on the promise and in the Word in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE they battle for the coming Kingdom
·         Match or exceed the atmosphere's they encounter and bring Jesus to the center of the picture
·         Have goodness and mercy following them all the days of their lives
·         Carry the presence power and peace of an amazing God into the darkness
·         Are the story makers with Christ and the Spirit
·         Exceed expectation finding a way for LOVE – give more than is required – go the extra mile – bring the kingdom
·         Give freely as they have been freely given to

Warriors live in the limitless generosity and inheritance of the King of Kings.  
Their hearts are first love fires of presence and their minds filled with the thoughts of heaven (col 3:1-4) 
Warriors have assignments from heaven, heavenly identities and walk in confidence of the King. 
Warriors love and die for what Jesus loves and dies for.....
His Friends
The Bride
His Church
His Family
The Father's Heart
The Father's will

  Wanders –
·         Wish for good things to find them
·         Occasionally walk in power when all their circumstances are just right
·         Worship in the manifest presence but grumble in the desert places
·         Are amazed at God at the oasis, the mecca,  but rarely see the amazing God work through them, near them, in their town
·         Borrow stories, revel in far off wonders but don't make any themselves, they love the cult of personality talking of men more than Jesus
·         Look for others to give to them  stories, inspiration and are wild branches disconnected from Vine
·          Walk in highly charged emotional atmospheres filled with the faith of others and fade without it - they translate emotion to mean the Spirit - which fades rapidly after the "show"
·         Carry debilitating unrighteousness that is covered over by their gift focus

Wanderers always have a reason they cannot covenant, cooperate with, or deeply fellowship with the Church.  
Wanderers die for no one but themselves.  The way of love is not known to them.   They do this under the banner of "reasonable"  "wisdom"
Wanderers want to be significant but never build the relationships that significance can grow in.
Wanderers want to see healing, miracles, prophecy, but do not seek healing, miracles or prophecy for themselves.  OR walk in those given to them. 


The good news is Jesus comes to every wanderer and has the power, love and mercy to heal, set free and bless us.   

Surrender your heart in the days ahead.  That is the new battlefield.
