And Great Fear Came Upon All The Church

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

Imagine those days.

Called To Walk In Love

Our natural instinct is to do unto others as they do to us. However as believers, as Christian's, we are called to a higher calling and within that calling is love. So how do we love the unlovable? How do we return good for evil?

By allowing the love of Christ to flow through us, and applying the fruits of the spirit while simply being Christ like. The key is not to become offended.

The Wilderness Intensifies Anointing

The wilderness increases our prophetic power. As crucial transformations happen, the Spirit has more liberty to rest upon us in stronger measures. Check out the subtle symbolism in Song of Songs 3:6: Who is this coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant? When Jesus came up from His desert experience, He was encompassed by the smoke of God's glory, perfumed with powerful anointing for ministry (Lk 4:1-19). Psalm 92:10 says something similar: ...fine oils have been poured upon me. This fresh oil of power came upon the psalmist because he battled his enemies and overcame (v11), he grew spiritually very much (v12), and he made God his intimate dwellingplace (v13).

We too increase in the power of the Spirit by being fully faithful to the desert developments. We will face our enemies and we must overcome them. We will be challenged to grow personally and we must swallow our pride and do so. Ultimately, we must plant ourselves in God and His presence. We must let the desert's fervent heat melt anything and everything in our life that keeps us from finding our all in all in Him and only Him. Then we will see Him increase His anointing portions upon our ministries.
