The Spirit Is Calling - Who Will Hear Him?
There is a move of the Spirit that is happening at the moment. No, it is not a well-known thing; it is not something that has been widely broadcast in the church today, but it is happening none the less. It is a quiet stirring, a move of the Holy Spirit, leading those who truly belong to the Lord in the way they should go. This movement is truly of God, and is something that many who love the Lord have long been waiting for. The Holy Spirit is speaking to men and women who will listen. But what is He saying? He is saying something that He has been saying for decades, only in times past Christians were maybe not too keen to hear. But now, not only are many Christians ready to hear, some are responding and obeying His voice. So what's going on? What is the Holy Spirit saying to those who belong to God? And what are those who are obeying the Lord doing? Maybe you already know of this move of God, but just in case you don't I'll tell you. The women who are listening to the Lord are now returning to biblical womanhood. And the men who seek to please the Lord are returning to biblical manhood - true manhood. As the Spirit draws Christian women (those who truly belong to God and are not Christian in name only) to return to godly womanhood, men all around are being led to return to biblical manhood; to take their rightful place as strong, upright, masculine men, the godly leaders that God intended them to be in the church, as a witness to the world. The Lord has always desired that His sons should set an example of what a true man is to the world, but so far, the church has done a pretty poor job of teaching godly manhood to Christian boys and young men. But the tide is now turning. God is raising up sons and daughters who refuse to walk according to the sin and perversion of this world, because they desire to be the men and women God created them to be. They desire to walk in a clean-minded, sober, godly way and be a real man or a real woman. God is calling His sons to biblical manhood and His daughters to biblical womanhood. Who will obey His call?
