An Inky Blackness
Genesis 1:1-2 (MSG)
“First this: God created the Heavens and Earth-all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.”

This day is yet another opportunity to know the Lord, to walk with him, to experience him, to become a little more accustomed to the ways and the manner of the Lord. The Bible gives details of creation in Genesis 1:1-2, it goes on to say, even after the world was created because of the demonic occupation on the earth, and the destruction that followed after the rebellion by Lucifer and his gang against the Lord, the earth was a dark abyss and it was void. But yet, the Holy Spirit, like a dove, was brooding over the watery abyss. The spirit of God was waiting upon the earth and was still working upon the earth.
However we’re feeling, whatever we’re going through, whatever chaos, confusion, all the challenges that we face in our heart and our mind, the Lord is saying, don’t worry! because my holy spirit, he’s still brooding upon your life, the spirit of God is still working upon you. It may look like nothing good is going to come out of our life, but the holy spirit is going to wait on us, till we’re prepared, till we are propelled into our destiny, as a life creator.
We have to pay attention to how the Holy Spirit works in our life, and what he does specifically to reorganise and reaffirm us, not just to write us off when things go bad. In any messy situation, he still doesn’t give upon us…. What a beautiful revelation of the heart of Jesus? What a beautiful revelation of the merciful nature of the father we receive, because of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives.
This season, we’re going to be dwelling upon the nature of the Holy Spirit. We are going to understand what does it take to develop an intimacy with the Holy Spirit, because, if we can just learn this one principle, we can unlock unfathomable riches and unimaginable power and revelations. If Jesus needed the Holy Spirit, as he lived on earth, we need the him too.
