Wind of God blows

“The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.”


The same old wind going through its various circuits!
Yes, but not really so. It blows in one direction as the north wind. 


Then it completes the cycle, becomes the south wind, and blows back from whence it started.

God’s order is first darkness, then light. 

First chaos, then order. 

First barrenness, then fruitfulness. First weakness, then power. First death, then life.

Never have we heard so much about positive living as we have in the past decade or two, and never has there been so much frustration amongst God’s people. We have come to believe, somehow that anything that speaks of coldness, or barrenness, or fruitlessness is from the Devil and must be strenuously resisted. We are encouraged to reach forth and grasp the glory, and the power, and the victory and the fruit of the Spirit...

The North Wind

The north wind will certainly strip us leaving a veritable picture of frustration and defeat in its wake. What a sorry sight it is to behold the barren fruit trees in the orchard, like so much firewood, with the turning of the seasons and the blowing of the north wind.


But we are not too alarmed about it in the realm of Nature even though we do not like it.
Nor should we be too alarmed about it in the realm of the New Creation. We accept the seasons, as periods of Divine provision, and we embrace each winter season as a PROMISE.

Each winter is a promise of springtime and life. I mean it is a promise from God’s Word. For He hath said, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (Gen. 8:22)


‎''Therefore the songwriter says, “Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out” (Song 4:16).

Notice the order once again: first the north wind, and then the south. First the cold, then the heat. First the snow, then the warm rains of spring. “He giveth snow like wool; he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?” (Ps. 147:16,17). 


It is the blowing of the north wind, But it is still the Word of God. The north wind bringing the snow and ice was because of “his commandment upon the earth.”

But it was not intended to destroy, but to prepare to prepare for the day of spring when the south wind would blow and melt the snow and the ice and the frost, and cause the waters to flow in the River of God.''
