“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years…” (Genesis 1:14).
+When God started creation, He called forth light (Genesis 1:3), then in verse 14, He created different lights for seasons. Thus, the season of the Spirit is a season of light, when God is bringing a particular understanding of Himself to us.
“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: [3] How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, [4] Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)…” (Ephesians 3:2-4).
Light is a dispensation of grace. God made the lights in the heavens to lighten the earth. Likewise, the reason for light is to illuminate men to enable them walk according to God’s counsel and purpose. God’s counsel and purpose are hidden; thus, grace must come to us to unearth these secrets.
The dispensation of grace is given to us to make known the mystery; when light shines, it is the dispensing of grace. We cannot understand the conversation of the world to come unless God visits us with His light. This understanding is meant to translate into a conversation of life we are to walk in here on earth.
“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit…” (Ephesians 3:5). Prior to Apostle Paul receiving this dispensation of grace, the understanding of the mystery was not given to any man on the earth. This dispensation was a season of the Spirit to give the understanding of a mystery that was not made known in other ages. Thus, the sons of men in those ages would not have been able to access this mystery even if they prayed for it because it was not the season for it.
There is a particular dispensation of understanding that God wants to give to us now. God will always give this grace to men whom He has raised as apostles and prophets, who can unearth these mysteries and make it known to His people on the earth.
“Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, [79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79). It takes mercy for light to visit man. The Dayspring is a light. Seasons of the Spirit are times of visitation aimed at giving light to those who sit in darkness. Light needs to shine to break us away from our earthly conversations.
There is a covering cast over the earth that veils men from seeing the conversations of the world to come (Isaiah 25:7). Light must come to us to take away that veil so that we can see and then inherit those conversations.
There is a principle in the realm of the spirit, such that no one can own anything if one cannot see it. We see a typification of this with Elijah and Elisha. The condition for Elisha receiving a double portion of Elijah’s anointing was for him to see his master being taken up (2 Kings 2:9-12). Likewise, if we cannot see the light of the conversation of the world to come, then we cannot walk in it or live it out on the earth. It is by this light that He guides us into the way of peace.
“[1-2] Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim–zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: [2] And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.” (1 Samuel 1:1-3).
For the Israelites, going to Shiloh to worship yearly was a time of visitation (1 Samuel 1:3). Hannah was without a child and suffered persecution from Peninnah. However, there was a particular Shiloh that was an opportune time for her in the spirit (1 Samuel 1:11). She did not just ask for an ordinary child but a manchild; she asked for something that was in alignment with God’s heart.
“Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.” (1 Samuel 1:20). There is an attitude the people must have in the season of the Spirit, which is a posture of heart that is ready to ask.
“Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.” (Zechariah 10:1). It is easy to assume that rain will fall when it is the season. God is ready to uncover to us the conversation of the world to come. However, as a people, our hearts must be opened and call forth these things so that we can actually be partakers.
“Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. [14] And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.” (1 Samuel 1:13-14). Hannah spoke to the Lord with her heart. Likewise, our hearts must be desirous and yearn for more of the things God wants to give.
Hannah did not settle for the comfort of her husband; she desired more (1 Samuel 1:7-10). We must not attend the season of the Spirit casually or be familiar with the programme, rather, we must come with hearts desiring and yearning deeply for the things that God wants to give. This season of the Spirit should be a Shiloh where we desire a manchild and it is given to us.
“[46-47] And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. [47] And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” (Mark 10:46-49). Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, and began to cry out for mercy. Mercy brings light and the opening of eyes; it precedes understanding and revelation.
People tried to discourage blind Bartimaeus from crying out for mercy (Mark 10:48), likewise, there are many things that do not want our hearts to respond well in this season. However, blind Bartimeus was not deterred by the discouragement but cried out more, and Jesus responded to that cry — the cry of the heart. As Jesus asked Bartimaeus what he wanted (Mark 10:51), so the Lord turns to us in this season of the Spirit to ask for the cry of our heart.
“[1-4] After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [2] Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. [3] In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. [4] For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.” (John 5:1-8).
These impotent folks typify different categories of men in their souls — those who cannot see nor walk in the will of God. The angel would go down to the pool in a certain season, which shows that seasons are for visitations, encounters and deliverances. The seasons of the Spirit are meant to administer healing to the diseases in our souls so that men can walk in the whole counsel of God.
For the man at the pool, it was a season of visitation when Jesus came to meet him (John 5:5-8). However, Jesus still asked him if he desired to be healed. The Lord also comes to check what we truly desire — whether we want to embody the conversations of the world to come. The lame man wanted Jesus to help him to the pool, not realising that there was more he could obtain (John 5:7-8).
In this season of the Spirit, God has more for us. The lame man received his healing by reason of a visitation of mercy, though it was not the season when the angel came to trouble the waters. This season of the Spirit is also a visitation of mercy; however, how much we can receive depends on how much we can desire of the Lord the things of the world to come that He has prepared for us.
We must believe God for light because it is His light that can detach us from age-long infirmities in our souls. Light brings deliverance and breaks one free from the shackles of darkness. In this season of the Spirit, we must believe God for light that will detach us from the conversation of the present and cause us to begin to walk in the conversation of the world to come.
We need mercy to visit us. Mercy brings with it grace to set us free from darkness and age-long limitations that hold us down and guide us into the path of truth.
Amen.
