While in Cape Town the Lord gave me vision for the World Race…
We have 9 months left in this creature called the World Race.
God impressed upon my mind the idea that in 9 months God creates and develops each individual human being.
In this idea the next 9 months His desire is to create and develop new creations.
These creations will return the same physically, but spiritually they will come out the creation the Lord desires rather than the person the partially formed by the Lord and the world.
The physical womb of a mother is a direct parallel to what I believe the next 9 months will hold.
First, death must occur to be reborn.
Death means dying to our own agendas, opinions, rights, pasts, expectations, and living life as God desires.
We came here with all of these things; however the World Race is designed to be a refiner’s fire, so death to the old self is vital.
As the Lord kills these places in our lives that are filled with selfish desires, He begins the conceiving of a new creation.
He is killing my flesh in this very moment.
Death is a painful process in this case because everything we know of ourselves must come under God’s refinement.
In the mother’s womb a baby develops and receives everything in order to sustain and thrive in life on the other side.
While in the father’s womb as His child we simply remain until it is time for birth.
The Lord’s womb is where life begins.
In this time the Lord develops the characteristics, personalities, fruits, and gifts in each of His children.
In this time the only responsibility is to remain in the womb. The womb may seem like a place without any concern, but it is often a difficult place to remain.
As this creation grows the space becomes smaller and cramped causing frustration and a desire for freedom.
As we grow we can become spiritually clausterphobic, smothered, and scream to be birthed pre-maturely; however it is in this place that we become aware of ourselves and need for God.
If birthed pre-maturely, survival outside the womb is extremely difficult, if not impossible. The Lord must finish the work needed to accomplish what He desires for abundant life.
The womb is a warm, comfortable place; however we typically fail to appreciate its warmth until dramatically thrown into reality…birth!
Exiting the womb once it has become comfortable can be as difficult as living in the cramped places.
While in the womb we learn to recognize the voice of the Lord, His smell, and the beat of His heart.
In that time we receive fully developed organs necessary to live life abundantly.
Outside the womb we are comfortable in the Father’s arms after so much time spent with Him.
We desire to simply fixate our eyes on Him as a child does with their mother.
We rest confidently that God has not made any mistakes in the formation of ourselves.
After birth we must continue to rest, eat, and breathe to sustain life.
The Lord is going to accomplish His desires through this process over the next 9 months.
Needless to say…expect for this whole idea to become much more developed throughout the year.

Pray we are obedient to the places the Lord takes us in geographic location and spiritual formation.
