One principle long recognized in the Church is that movements in governments and principalities often reflect what is happening in the spirit-world and vice versa. Also as pointed out in a previous article in this forum sometimes a new phenomenon will give raise to a new vernacular. The term “devolution” is one currently making the rounds among social scientists and economists. It is used to describe a globally impacting trend currently epicentered in Europe but spreading. Devolution is the break down of strong federal government in favor of regional, cultural, and economic units. Examples include the breakup of the USSR into Russia and several satellite countries. This directly resulted in the explosion of Yugoslavia into approximately six (and counting) countries. No industrialized country is immune including such powerhouses as United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, and even Germany. There are currently no less than 18 such hot spots in Europe and new countries are splintering also on the continents of Africa and Asia.

I experienced something last night during our youth service that I’ve never experienced before. It was definitely a first. You know, we have come to expect the norm when we go to church. Praise and Worship, Prayer, Offering, Announcements, maybe a special song…and then someone delivers the Word. Right?
I allow the youth to preach if they so desire or feel led. I couldn’t stand hearing my youth pastor every service…you have to mix it up a little. Last night was one of those nights. Three weeks ago a young man approached me and said that he wanted to preach. I thought for sure it was going to be a homerun and that the alter would be filled.

I remember watching the movie Rocky One and the scene where Rocky is standing in his corner bleeding profusely and his eyes are swelling shut. I was sitting there as a boy thinking, “Just quit, dude! You fought a good fight!” But then Rocky tells his trainer those famous words, “Cut Me, Mickie!”, and unwillingly his trainer takes a blade and releases the swelling to allow Rocky to fight on and win the fight. (Rumor has it that they made a few more of those Rocky movies…).
What was the driving force behind this scene? What would push someone to the cutting point? How can someone look beyond the pain and still see the prize?

To understand the scriptures, you must realize that 90% of the Bible was written by Jews to other Jews. The remaining 10% was written in Greek…by Jews. The ability for a non-Jew, or a Gentile, to understand the scripture and its purpose, you must cast aside the mindset by which you justify and apply definition to the Bible.
Jesus said in Mark 4:9 “And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” He wasn’t excluding people that didn’t have ears. That just doesn’t make any sense, right? He was saying “You have the ability to hear my words, listen and understand!” Then Jesus says in verse 11 “…Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:” He was saying, “You understand these things better because you are Jewish, but those that are not Jewish will only understand through parables and real life examples.”

I must confess at the risk of sounding too real that there are days I find myself in agreement with Bono of the Band U2 by humming the lyrics to his song “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. This symptom seems to be rooted in an emotion I’ve begun to describe as the “Frustration of Anticipation”
In the last few months, we have been receiving calls, emails, letters and visits from ministers literally around the world expressing this same sentiment. We are anticipating something we cannot seem to articulate or explain. It’s as if the Holy Sprit has planted a seed in the womb of the Church and we have yet to birth what we know is a “New Thing”!
