I was musing on what the puddles have done to the raw unleashed power of the Kingdom of God. Think on this for a minute. If I was God's enemy and saw the Niagara Falls cascading down on this earth for God's people to tap into....the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit is also the outpouring of His very life into us His people...His church...the Kingdom here and now in His people.....yes...if I was God's enemy I would try very hard to blind God's people to the reality of the Kingdom God... the reality of His Niagara Falls... being available to them today...right here....right now...every minute of every day. Now...being the enemy...I would do everything I could to stop it!

How about making it happen in the great by and by...some time later on...when I enter it when I die.

How about spending countless hours formulating doctrines about the Kingdom and what it really, really is.....argue...discuss....debate...theorize... write books....everything and anything but experience its raw power!

Ah, now...when is the kingdom going to come? When will Jesus return to the earth? To rapture or not to rapture that is the question. Do you realize what Jesus said about that stuff? He said it is none of our business!

Now, I realize that is what is called a paraphrase of the scripture but that is what He means by: "It is not given to you know times and epochs that are in the Father's hand." Can I add..... please stop wasting all that time conjecturing and jump off into the Falls and get in the flow of the Holy Spirit and the raw power of God!

I could go on with other examples but I think... I hope...... this will show you just how the enemy is at work to keep God's people...... the small "c" church.....constantly bouncing from pond to pond or simply playing in the puddles and getting all muddied up instead of being a bride without spot or blemish or any such thing.
