I really enjoy reading Millennial Pastor, Ben Lim's articles. He has so much to say in this very exciting time of movement in the Kingdom.
As you read through this...you'll pick up on his zeal for the things of God as he speaks this NOW word:
I pray the fresh revelation in Ben's article will help you make room for the new and the greater things God has for YOU! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Jesus is clearing the temple! The Lord is making a way for the more. In fact, the Lord is making room for YOU. I hear the Lord saying that He is making room for the hidden to be seen; for the low to be lifted up.
"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, 'It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer," but you make it a den of robbers.'" (Matthew 21:12-13)
"Just as Esther had favor before the king, you will also have favor before the King of kings!" |
Just as Jesus cleared out the temple, I see the Lord clearing the House of the Lord within you. The Lord is cleaning out the old and He is making room for the new. He is getting rid of the leaven so that your true "you" can rise. The Kingdom of God is rising from within you!
It was only when Judas left the scene that there was an availability for a new apostle to be positioned into the inner circle (Acts 1:12-26). I'm not saying that killing oneself is acceptable, nor is it from God. It is not! But what I am saying is that God is making room. God can only refill something old with something new if there is room for it.
The Lord is taking out the illegitimate and filling it up with the legitimate. The Lord is taking away the false to fill it up with the true. Only when the Ishmael leaves will the true Isaac take his place. Only when there is space will the Lord fill it.
Make Room for the New
There would have been no Joshua if Moses was still present. There would have been no Elisha with a double portion if Elijah was still ministering. There would be no modern-day Church if Jesus was still alive, walking upon the earth.
The Lord is making room for you. The Lord is removing the old guard because there is a new guard taking place. There is a new breed arising. The Lord has made a place for you and for your children's children! It is time for you to make room for the Lord. It's time for you to make space for the Holy Spirit. The Lord is not looking for your abilities but for your availability. Make yourself available before the Lord and He will use you for His glory.
Too often we are consumed with the good when God wants to move us into the great. How can we move into the greater if we're consumed with our current giftings? It's time for us to step out of the norm and take greater risks. Do something you've never done before. Make yourself available to enter into the greater things. It's time for you to make room for the Holy Spirit to have His way afresh in your life again!
A Table is Set up Before You
The Lord has set up a table of wining and dining. He has a special seat saved just for you. This special seat of blessing is yours! What's yours is yours. I hear the Lord saying, "I am giving to you and your family your allotted portion and inheritance." The allotment of the Lord is falling upon His people. The Lord is your portion.

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." (Psalm 23:5)
The Lord has set up and prepared many good things for you. It's time for you to see with your very own eyes what... (continue reading)
