A Fresh
Move of The Spirit
Seeley D. Kinne
There is a present working of the Lord taking place in which
He is birthing new and more powerful manifestations of His
presence than have hitherto been known. All past ministries,
powerful and gracious as they have been, are fundamental and
basic in comparison to what the Lord is about to bring forth.
The “greater works,” of which Jesus spoke, have
not yet been accomplished, and the Lord is working to bring
these into being. We are to yield every member of our being
to be crucified afresh, that He might be glorified in us,
in a new and powerful way.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be
not conformed to this world.” Romans 12:1-2a
“When He shall come to be glorified in His saints,
and to be admired in all them that believe.” II Thessalonians
1:10a
We are not to fear, but follow on in His leadings. He will
lead us whithersoever He would have us go. Therefore, we are
not to be dismayed at anything that the Lord may permit to
come against us, as we are in the School of the Holy Spirit
where we are being trained.
The Lord is presently calling our attention to the great
plan He has in hand, which is to restore all the grace, glory,
and power that was in the Ecclesia during New Testament times,
and more.
In Biblical times, it was the custom for a son to be under
governors, tutors, and servants until he became of age. Then
he was adopted, or “set” in his place, as a son
in the family.
“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child,
differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed
of the father.” Galatians 4:1-2
This order is also referred to in Romans 8:14-17:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Itself
bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint
heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that
we may be also glorified together.”
This is a type of the state and experience of those being
brought into “spiritual maturity.” Its attainment
is no easy matter, as it will cost many a struggle and much
crucifixion. But it must come forth as it is divinely purposed.
Following the restoration of these degrees of salvation and
grace, glorious and heavenly beyond the expectation of man,
there will come forth the revelation of the spiritually mature
sons of God, and the glorious deliverance of creation from
the thralldom of decay.
The night is almost over. Whoever “sleeps” in
this watch is careless, indifferent, or lukewarm. These will
miss the greatest privilege ever offered to man as the morning
breaks.
Many make the terrible mistake of stopping with a hearing
of the truth and having a mental grasp of it. They do not
pray and seek the Lord until the truth becomes a “living
experience” within their lives.
“And there is none that calls upon Your Name, that
stirs up himself to take hold of You.” Isaiah 64:7a
The time is at hand and many are being stirring to enter
and partake.
