Bending or Breaking

Will you bend or will you break?? I have set storms in each of your lives to at times even reposition you. Storms that would bring you to a place of breaking before me and calling unto me like you never have before but yet instead of breaking you bend.

You bend even to the point of leaning toward sin and not calling sin sin. For after all it is a small sin. You bend, you put yourself in a place of compromise before me, swaying back and forth with every wind that passes along. Your priorities get bent out of shape before me. Your desires and wants bend and sway between me and this world.

I am calling forth a bride, a church that will not be bent and swayed when the storms of life hit. I am calling for a church that will in humility come broken before me. Calling out for my help. Leaning on everything I can be for them. I am looking for a people who will cry out to me in the time of trouble, who will ask of me Lord what shall I do, where do you want me to go , what do you want me to do.

I am looking for a people that will be broken before me. For in that brokenness I can graft you into the vine, I can graft you totally into me. So that indeed my thoughts would be your thoughts and my ways your ways. In brokenness, can I be lifted up. In brokenness, you die so I might live. You desire so much to walk in my power and authority in this day and hour and I say to you in brokenness and humility before me will I be raised up in you and in my body.

I will live and live abundantly in and through you as you come broken before me. I will raise you up. I will make you whole. I will show forth my power and glory through you as you live a broken life before me.
