| October 1, 2017 "Having Urgency of Spirit"
by Nancy Taylor Warner, Nanjemoy, MD From the Desk of Steve Shultz:  How many of you have felt an "urgency in your spirit" lately? Well, you are not alone as Nancy Taylor Warner shares in her latest word.
God is on the move...and He's revealing His heart to us by placing a sense of "urgency" in our spirits so we prepare room in our hearts for what He's about to do. Nancy sheds some more light on this as she shares: This "urgency of spirit" is very real today. Much is happening in the world and in our own nation. We are on the threshold of an end-time move of God such as we have not seen. The culmination of the ages is about to burst forth as the glory of the Lord is revealed and covers the earth. As you read this word, let it prepare your heart with a sense of urgency...We want to be READY when God pours out His Spirit! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Having Urgency of Spirit"
by Nancy Taylor Warner, Nanjemoy, MD Some months ago, a friend mentioned an "urgency of spirit" in pursuing God's glory. As I proceeded with my duties, I suddenly realized I was singing in a way I had not experienced in some time. Later, I recognized it was the releasing of God's presence that caused me to worship with such abandonment. I remembered experiencing this maybe twenty years prior in a powerful way, and I realized it was that same dimension of God's presence again being released. Quiet Visitations Since then, there has been what I call "a quiet visitation" taking place here at the Prayer Chapel marked by the presence of the Lord. In some past moves of God, people were encouraged to spend time soaking in the presence of the Lord. The Lord is again releasing His presence in places where the door is open for Him to come in, that He might further fill us as He works within our hearts. I have continued to think about what this "urgency of spirit" might mean. There are words I have carried in my heart for years about a visitation yet to come—the releasing of God's glory, pure and holy from the throne of God. I believe we are living in that time frame now, and will begin to experience the presence of the Lord in even greater ways. But what does it mean to have an "urgency of spirit"? I thought of my friend (who I sometimes jokingly call the moseying prophet). They obviously hear from the Lord and have a depth of spiritual understanding, but how could someone so laid back speak of such an urgency? Get Ready When I understood, I was amazed. It has to do with knowing something is at hand, feeling an urgency to "get ready," but not doing anything in our flesh to try to make it happen. As I thought about this, I thought of two contrasting examples in Scripture. Sarah knew she was going to have a child. Rather than focusing on "getting ready," because of the "urgency" she felt, she tried to make it happen through her own efforts instead of waiting on God's timing. God's intention was not aborted, that joy still came, but Sarah sure went through a lot of grief. By way of contrast, there was also an "urgency of spirit" that caused Naomi to leave Moab and Ruth to follow her. Ruth too was going to have a son, but because neither Naomi or she knew it, their flesh did not get in the way. They recognized it was God as His plan began to unfold, then entered into a place of rest as they awaited His timing. God's intention was fulfilled unhindered. How they rejoiced! This "urgency of spirit" is very real today. Much is happening in the world and in our own nation. We are on the threshold of an end-time move of God such as we have not seen. The culmination of the ages is about to burst forth as the glory of the Lord is revealed and covers the earth. May our flesh not react to the "urgency" we feel, but may we position ourselves in Christ as we prepare our hearts—watching at His gates and waiting at His doors—so as God moves we hear and respond rightly. If you remember the parable in Matthew 25, all ten virgins had lamps. Lamps speak of salvation, a free gift. Yet only five had bought oil. Oil speaks of the anointing—that which comes from time spent with the Lord. There is cost involved, choices we make. May our lamps be full so when the door opens and the Lord comes in greater ways, we might be "ready" to enter into what God is doing. I remember my dad saying that the five wise and the five foolish are in us—the deciding vote is ours! Are we going to be wise, or foolish? My prayer is that the Lord blesses you today in the choices you make. May we be prepared, poised and ready, with oil in our lamps. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
