Catch the Wave

There is a swell in the Spirit. It is a powerful surge, a force that is building as we continue to pray, follow the leading of the Spirit and to build our lives according to the specifications of God’s Word.

When ocean waves reach a coral reef, they hit it and crest into something that a surfer can ride. As a young man, my brother and I would paddle out on our surfboards at 5am to catch the best waves. We would sit out just beyond the place where the ocean waves converted into surfing waves and we would choose which waves to catch. We became good at sensing which waves were bad, good or great! Once the wave converts, it is too late to catch it. Some mornings there never would never be a good wave... or even worse, there would be only ONE good wave and we didn’t sense it in time and we watched others who caught it have an amazing ride.

If you want to catch the coming wave of God, you must sense it before it crests and get on that wave. Let this be your fair warning. Get ready to ride! Start paddling! Begin to position yourself now! Pray, fast, worship and expect! Turn off the radio and turn on the Christian CD’s. Moms, turn off “Desperate Housewives” and become a desperate housewife... desperate for the presence of God! Working men and women, put your career on a better track and don’t miss your CARE group this week! Get your priorities straight! Rush home to spend time with your spouse and your kids! Start talking about what God is doing to everyone you can! Build excitement and expectancy! Get ready, get ready, get ready!
