Missing the Next Move of God

June 16, 2022 Filed Under: Spiritual

Interestingly, many of my friends who have participated in every move of God since the Jesus Movement of the 60’s may actually miss the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit since the day of Pentecost in the book of Acts.

Those of us who came into the Kingdom in the 60’s and 70’s are now old(er) and many are stuck in their ways. They believe the vineyard they have sown and plowed in for the past 5o years is the only one. They have no desire to step into the “new Kingdom apostolic” move that is coming forth because it represents spiritual authority.

Most Americans don’t want authority of any kind in their lives. They are content with being lone rangers and living unto themselves.

Many moves of God come in the midst of great darkness. The wickedness in our culture is unprecedented. When abortions can be performed “at will,” including healthy full-term babies, you have evidence of a decadent and wicked society.

America is poised for another great awakening of God or absolute destruction because of our wickedness. I choose to believe the greatest days of human history lie before us.

I believe God is in process of bringing justice and judgment on the wicked and revival and righteousness to His people.

The question for you is will you be ready to be part of this great move of God?

For decades many Christians have been half committed, compromised, and all about themselves. The independent attitude in the body of Christ could cause many to miss the next move of God.

As we navel gaze and drag our feet, the Kingdom of God marches on. As we “do our own thing” whatever that might be; the Ekklesia moves forward without you.

If there has ever been a time to wake up and come into unity in the Church, it is now. God wants to break off of us our independent spirit, and bring us into greater unity.

We need to be healed, cleaned up and out, trained and empowered for His next great move. I believe if we try to maneuver through the days ahead as “lone wolves,” we are putting ourselves in great danger.

If we move together as a mighty force as the Army of God, we will conquer and dominate and destroy the powers of darkness with the authority God has extended to us.

We need to prepare for the outpouring and refreshing that is coming and join what God is doing. Our independent spirit could hamper the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives.

Understanding the Holy Spirit

May 13, 2022 Filed Under: Book Review

For the past couple of years, I have reviewed and recommended many different books in prior posts. A month ago, I reviewed Whispers of the Spirit, a devotional the Lord wrote through me a few years ago.

Today I would like to share thoughts from a book I wrote titled Understanding the Holy Spirit: Experience the Power.

I was baptized in the Spirit about two years after a powerful salvation experience. During this encounter, I clearly heard the Lord tell me the price I would pay for giving my life to Him. His words came true seven years later. I was hungry for God and willing to press in until I was empowered with His Spirit.

I experienced the Presence and fire of God at home alone on the floor crying out to Him in the summer of 1975. No one told me my encounter with God was to be kept a secret. Everyone who would listen was told my story, and most thought I was crazy. I shared this amazing experience with my parents who were lifelong members of the Church of Christ, and my mother spent the rest of her life thinking I was going to hell because of my encounter.

Seeking God and not being satisfied with status quo religion was unheard of at the time. What was wrong with dead, dry, boring church? Holy Spirit had been kicked out decades or maybe even hundreds of years before except for revivals which sprung up periodically during the last 300 years.

No one seemed to notice He had departed. They were too busy playing church, building buildings, and condemning those who were hungry for God.

Tradition, tradition, tradition was all any of us knew.

The Jesus People Movement and the Charismatic Movement occurred during the 1960’s, and spread throughout mainline protestant denominations, as well as the Roman Catholic Church. I came into the Kingdom during the glory days of this outpouring. The glory forever changed my life, and there was no going back. It didn’t matter the cost, nor did it matter what anyone else thought about it. I made a decision to run hard after God for the rest of my life.

I was worn out with ignorance and people being oblivious and having so little knowledge about Holy Spirit, His power, gifts, Presence, and all things concerning His role throughout history. Understanding the Holy Spirit was birthed and written out of my desire to teach hungry people about Him. Some of the chapter titles include: Who is Holy Spirit?; What Was the Role of Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus?; Being Born of the Spirit; Baptism of Jesus/Baptism of the Holy Spirit; Praying in the Spirit: A Door from Prayer to Intercession; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Hearing the Voice of the Spirit; and Intercession Directed by Holy Spirit.

If you are hungry for more of God, this book can open the door to a deeper experience with Holy Spirit. If you are still going to “dead church” and long for something more, that something more is the baptism in the Spirit. It transforms, empowers, and changes your life forever; however, you must seek until you find.

Nothing comes easy and without a fight.

More of God comes with a cost. Decide to pay the price and step into the MORE. The greatest revival in all of human history lies before us. Rejoice for His Kingdom is coming and now IS!

An Awakening Is Arising

March 21, 2022 Filed Under: Spiritual

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

ISAIAH 65:24

My Spirit continues to be upon My people in this nation. After much prayer and anticipation, great revival will finally break out in the nation, and the power of My name will be mightily revealed. It will be a revival no one can contain! Never stop praying for your nation.

There is a righteous wind blowing across this land. People are waking up and coming out of their spiritual stupor. An awakening is arising!

Many godly people are seeking My face and crying out to Me constantly. Decades of prayers have been heard. I am rising from My throne to come down with power and might. The prayers of the saints are tipping the bowls in heaven! Deliverance and healing are on the way! Press in, hold spiritual ground, and see great revival break out in the nation.

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

PSALM 18:32

Life as you have always known it will be different. Do not despair or become discouraged as you watch your life change. Watch for signs and see Me move in your circumstances and throughout the land.

Great blessings come in difficult times. Regardless of what happens, I will strengthen you and keep your way secure. Protection and provision are promises from My Word. Bless Me, praise Me, seek My face, and I will give you direction and hope for the days ahead. Dark days are upon the nations, but My glory will become even brighter.

I will purge this nation of her filth. I will wash her and make her white as snow. The wicked will not prevail. Families will be redeemed, and prodigals will come home with repentance and weeping. My salvation will fall and saturate the land like early morning dew.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

PSALM 25:3

Missing Your Time of Visitation

August 17, 2021 Filed Under: Spiritual

And they did not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know “the time of your visitation.”

Luke 19:47

Jesus was foretelling the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, because Israel missed her time of visitation due to traditional Judaism and religion. They did not have faith to recognize their Savior.

The Pharisees and leaders of Israel were more concerned about their religion than the words of the prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus.

Jesus raised the dead, healed those who were cripple, gave sight to the blind, fed the five thousand, delivered the demonic, and his miracles were without limit. Yet, his own people rejected Him and missed the very visitation they had waited on for thousands of years.

Could we do the same thing when God visits us with revival?

Could we miss our day of visitation?

God may visit the churches with revival, but it is likely revival will hit the schools, universities, the streets, and places where people live and work. The structure of many churches probably will not let Him in the door, because the Holy Spirit will be front and center in the revival that is coming. It will probably not look like what we think.

Those who want no part of the Holy Spirit will probably miss their day of visitation.

Winds of Change

May 2, 2020 Filed Under: Spiritual

Winds of change are blowing across our nation and through our lives. Early this morning as I looked out my window at two beautiful river birches that were bending in the wind. I heard the words, “winds of change.” A few years ago I published a devotional book titled, Whispers of the Spirit, and in the book I wrote Whisper 96 titled “Winds of Change.” I pulled my book and looked up the title. The follow writing comes from my devotional. If you do not have a copy of the book, you can order it at www.drbrendaramboauthor.com .

Whisper 96

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed,

yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant

of peace be removed, “says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Isaiah 54:10

The wind is blowing–winds of change. This air brings disturbance to the atmosphere.

Life is tipped upside down to turn spiritually right side up.

Status quo disappears and the new appears. Systems topple and change is achieved by necessity. When these things start to happen, hold steady and know I am sovereign.

Change can bring adversity, chaos, and difficulty.

If these things should come, I will walk with you one day at a time. Listen carefully to My voice and discern your next steps. Walk confidently, knowing My ultimate purposes are being fulfilled. Sometimes change ushers in wonderful new experiences. Embrace each day with great expectancy and know you are in the palm of My hand.

Do not be afraid or discouraged…for there is a greater power with us…the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.

Be prepared and not surprised, for change will start to spring forth on all fronts. Watch, trust, and know My hand is in the middle of this change and I am fighting on your behalf. Watch as I make all things new.

Be willing to let go of life as you have always known it.

Stay connected to Me continuously and fortify your soul through prayer, the Word, and rich fellowship with others. As circumstances shift and change, I will teach you how to go deeper into the mysteries of My Spirit.

A divine convergence is underway in the heavenlies. I am shaking everything that can be shaken, and I am beginning to release signs and wonders throughout the nations.

I will make believers out of scoffers and mockers. The younger generations will grow weary of sin and compromise and will hunger for truth and spiritual reality. Revival will break out as desperate lives cry out for Me. This divine convergence will result in repositioning My people for a great harvest of souls. Prepare for the end-time harvest.
