THE WHOLE EARTH GROANS: BETWEEN THE GROANING AND THE GLORY

I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!  Romans 8:18-19 TPT

Can you feel it? Between the suffering and the glory, are you sensing the deep groaning of the whole earth in this season?

The groaning of all creation is birthing a revelation of the true sons and daughters of God. In this hour, there is an awakening of those who are being called out of captivity to worldly structures and into the fullness of their true destiny in Christ.

With eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children.Romans 8:20-21 TPT

In the midst of global pandemonium and pandemic, God is whispering —

The plague of hearts out of alignment with Me
is more deadly than any virus.

As we turn our hearts toward Him, rising up in faith and trust, believing that He is who He says He is—our Sovereign and Supreme Commander, the mighty Lord of Angel Armies, the King of glory—we step into our identity as His true sons and daughters, the warrior Bride of Christ. When we take our rightful places as God’s children, all creation experiences freedom! This is the nature of our counterinsurgency against the onslaught of evil.

Some of you have been standing on the sidelines, waiting and watching for something that speaks to your soul of its true calling, true value, true place in the kingdom of our Father God. Creation is waiting. It’s time for you to take your God-given place—you were made for such a time as this!

We are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth. And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s son’s and daughters. Romans 8:22-23 TPT
