Jonathan was a man of faith, courage, vision, unselfishness, and deep spirituality. He was a King’s son; next in line for the throne of his father even he laid all the things aside for the love of God’s anointed King David. A fine young man who visualize the process of the new movement who knew and loved the coming King David dearly, yet missed being in that glorious Kingdom simply because he never got around to coming out of the old system!
He continue to hang around the edges of what God is doing in these last days, content to keep in touch with the anointed people in the wilderness, not quite ready to leave father’s house. YES! None had the picture as clearly as Jonathan. He had the revelation. He loved the anointing. But all during the wilderness processing, he was missing! Why? He couldn’t get around to coming out of the old order. And when the new Kingdom came in and David sat on the throne, Jonathan was not standing there by him as he had prophesied. Why? Because the day that Saul fell in the battle, Jonathan was still with him, and fell also under the sword of the Philistines.
How many of our characters are pictured here! We are willing to make any sacrifice, pray; walk an extra mile and give just to have that anointing. Except leave the old order or traditional system. What worked yesterday won’t work today, whether it is in business or in the spiritual world, because the order is changing, and God is moving on. Either move on with Him, or you’ll find yourself missing out on the greatest thing man has ever seen.
There is a little Army in the wilderness today, small, insignificant, reproached, but anointed of God. They don’t seem to be doing much, but they are not idle. They are in training. Mighty men of war are being raised up, men who will soon go forth and in the power of the new Kingdom order to do that which Saul and all his armies have not been able to do.
Let the Lord speak to you as you are starting this new month of October!
