What Are We Waiting On? By Mike McClung

My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be moved. (Psalm 62:5-6)

Waiting on the Lord is one of the hardest things for the flesh to embrace. One of the biggest obstacles to moving into the new season, and moving into greater glory and harvest, is impatience. Impatience caused Moses to be set on the backside of the desert for forty years as the Lord dealt with his life and character. Impatience caused King Saul to presumptively take matters into his own hands when it seemed Samuel was delayed in his arrival to bless the troops before battle (1 Sam. 10), thus causing a hardening of his heart in pride and ultimately losing the kingdom. Impatience by the newly saved Saul of Tarsus caused unnecessary turmoil and problems for the still infant church in Jerusalem, causing the senior leaders to send him back home to Tarsus for the discipline of silence and solitude (Acts 9:27-31). Part of the Lord’s refining process to prepare us to enter into the fullness of His presence and purposes is learning to wait on the Lord. There’s nothing more irritating and deadly to the fallen nature, but conversely reviving to the Spirit of God within us, than waiting on God. Waiting on the Lord is part of the sifting process where the precious (His presence within the believer) is separated from the worthless (that which is under the dominion of the world, the flesh and the enemy). This has always been a necessary stage in the sanctification/training process in a believer’s life before moving forward into the fullness of the Lord’s purposes.

Dismantled to be Remantled By Mike McClung

On February 26, 2015, when I sat down to read and meditate in the scriptures, the Lord told me that we're beginning to enter into the second half of Jeremiah 1:10 - for the remnant that is coming out of Babylonian, church system captivity. He said, "It's time to begin to build and plant." It’s time to plant the MATURE word (meat) of restoration and build the body of Christ into partnership with Him, exhibiting His nature and kingdom (authority), and preparing our communities and nations for harvest and His return. Since the mid-1990s, the ministry of "tearing down and plucking up" has been released, with only a small remnant of the organized church willing to let Him "dismantle" them, and the man-made system we've been a part of for centuries.
