Thank you Gabe for this article. Ive just begun the second one. I love the work of the Lord - in its entirity.
I struggle at times reading articles like this because I want to go back to Geometry in 9th grade, that is, right up a proof or a theorm that shows how this kind of movement of God takes place. What are the intergral factors? How much prayer? How much unity? How much... -- in reality i am asking, what do i have to do to make God move. The answer in my mind is nothing. God moves, period. He doesn't need us to move. He is always moving.
The thing I appreciate most from this article is the statement that said, "true 'Jesus Ministry' could only be done in and through His power, not through the strategies and limitation of this natural world and our human understanding."
The sad reality for me is that I know this, have experienced the reality of God's power -- and yet I continue to resort to my own power, yet again. Prayer for me is reasserting power to the place it needs to be --- and when he displays it --- there is NO question who is at work!
So, maybe a good question for churches would be: What can we "do" that reveals that there is NO question that YHWH is moving, not us?

Aaron, I'm so glad you liked that article. I have thoughts but will type them later. I've got to practice for a gig tomorrow and then go to a cookout.
Aaron,these are good articles, and gabe and I have had a similar discussion concerning the move of God. He does move in his power and wisdom, I do believe that. His timing isn't always my favorite. However, pressing, pressing and more pressing yields fruit. But my struggle is remembering to pray God's will. That is a hard one for me. He always works when we pray according to his will.
With Christ In The School of Prayer (A. Murray), has lots of good thoughts on this kind of stuff. i have used it for my devotion time lately, but nothing beats just getting down on our knees and praying the kingdom come!
