WHEN THE WINDS BLOW DEAD LEAVES WILL FALL # 942 / EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, DEAD LEAVES FALL

 

I stepped outside yesterday to take a break and give my dogs a chance to run in the yard and realized autumn is finally here. While standing there, a gust of wind blew by my face, and I was showered with a burst of leaves that covered the yard. The "Spirit of God spoke to me and said, "when the wind blows, dead leaves will fall."

After you've lived through a few seasons, you become aware of the signals that tell you change is at hand. The temperature has changed; the leaves on the trees are turning colors, and the autumn winds are beginning to blow. In the Northwest, that's a good sign that the season has shifted, and we are now heading toward winter.

The leaves on the tree have served their purpose. They gave us shade all through the hot summer, and now their duty has ended. As far as they're concerned, they would like to stay on that tree forever; after all, it's home to them. 

But GodGod has other ideas for those leaves; they need to move on so the tree can rest and come back more robust in the spring. So what does GodGod do? He sends the wind, and when the wind blows, the leaves fall.

Remember the old prophet that had free room and board beside the creek? The rest of the country was starving, but the birds brought him food daily, and the stream gave him water. What more could a prophet desire; it sounds like retirement had come.

But GodGod had other plans for the old boy; his job wasn't over yet. 

Because the prophet was content where he was, GodGod dried up the creek and stopped the delivery system for food.

Why does trouble come along and the wind of adversity blow at times? It's to get us off the dime and allow us to exercise our faith again. Much of our decisions come out of a sense of urgency because the winds are blowing again.

I believe if you take notice, you'll find that those winds will blow your dead leaves off so that your new season can come forth with strength.

Folks, pay attention; you can know when the seasons change. Jesus told us that we could look to the sky and tell when it was going to rain. How much more can we do that in the spirit?
