In The Birth Canal

While waiting on the Lord, I had a quick min-vision of a baby in the birth canal. I immediately identified with the baby, for I feel like I do not understand what is going on – why my familiar surroundings have turned me “up-side down.” I am in the dark; I can’t see what lies ahead. I am being squeezed with intense pressure that keeps pushing me, but I have no idea where. “Lord,” I cry out, “This isn’t what I thought the ‘rest’ would feel like! This is LABOR!”

“Indeed it is,” He replies with a smile. “You are in the last stages of the birthing process, but I Am the One Who is laboring to birth you into the new level of spiritual existence I promised you. Your part is to be in rest – the rest of absolute faith and confidence in Me – that I will bring you forth even as I have promised. This rest of faith is the proper birthing position that will allow Me to move you through this transition with the greatest ease possible.

However, if you insist on trying to maintain the comfort of the familiar and refuse to yield to the contracting pressure of My hand in your circumstances, you will place yourself in the rebellious breech position. This will only cause great pain and complications for you. All I require is your willingness to let go of what is behind you and the fearless confidence to surrender as I birth you into the glorious light of this new day.” “Shall I bring forth to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the LORD. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God. (Isaiah 66:9) I declare to you – trust Me fully – and I shall bring you forth by My great power. Rejoice in My goodness
