Truth Minute: The Matrix (Birthing Pains)
In the natural it once was ok not to see what baby you were having before it was being born…now because of planning, curiosity and technology we can glimpse into the womb and tell what sex the child will be…however, you wont be able to see what the child will become as we can’t predict the future. Likewise when God is birthing something on the inside he will send a prophetic word or will tell us some hints from the midwives that are helping us along the way but none of them nor you will know what it will be until its born in its fullness of time.
Exodus 13:15 (KJV)
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
The Matrix means “place in between” …you must handle the time in between before your breakthrough. Be encouraged, don’t be anxious for anything, stand in joy and anticipation…the pain has a purpose, the waiting has a purpose….be it nine days, nine months or nine years…its all a process…its grueling, its discouraging, its lonely…there will be sorrow, tears, anguish, the devil will try to abort and attack and there WILL be times when you want to quit….NEVERTHELESS hold on and keep pushing…once its born all of the discomfort and disfiguration of your flesh will be renewed as you lay eyes on what God was growing on the inside of you….he IS the Father of that child and its name is destiny…stop trying to look inside too soon and wait on what God has for you!
