Kicked out of the nest... Thank you.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance  [email protected]  th grade… lets make a snowman… just a huge snowball… we push it up a large hill… lets roll it down and see how fast it can go… Im going to let it roll over me at the bottom… BIG MISTAKE. IT PICKED UP MOMENTUM, SUCKING UP EVERY PIECE OF SNOW IN ITS PATH… FASTER, BIGGER, FASTER, BIGGER….        Introduction: God Has Always Been Moving Momentum. It is the principle that a body in motion tends to stay in motion.  In physics, it is a law.  In the kingdom of God, it is a promise.        God Is the Source of All Momentum The Spirit Moved First   The very opening of Scripture shows us a God in motion:   "In the beginning-MOMENTUM- God created-MOMENTUM- the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering-MOMENTUM- over the waters."  — Genesis 1:1–2 The Hebrew word for 'hovering' is rachaph — it means to flutter, to brood, to move with energy and intention. This is our God. He does not wait passively. He moves first. He initiates. Momentum in the kingdom always begins with Him, not with us. You did not choose momentum. Momentum chose you.   Once the world was formed it was called to multiply and be fruitful = momentum!      In him is the momentum… where is his Spirit leading?  "You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself."  — Exodus 19:4       WHAT IS GOD SAYING… I BUILT MOMENTUM TO CARRY YOU OUT OF EGYPT. The build can be hard, the waiting, the build up… But when they left - they were begged to leave, given treasure, given favor, provided miracles of crossing the red sea!      The eagle does not flap its wings furiously —  it spreads them wide and rides the thermal currents. The question is not: 'How hard am I working?' The question is: 'Am I in alignment with what God is already doing?   An eagle will carry its young on its wings after pushing them out of the nest…  Not only that they will remove the soft lining of the nest to get them to step out…  IF THEY DON’T THEY WILL PUT THORNS IN THE NEST… The eaglet will be forced out only then to have the mother fly with it, catch it if need be and teach it to catch the thermal waves of momentum.  Maybe things are uncomfortable because God is trying to move you into momentum.
