The golden hook

Worship on a Friday night. People are worshipping away, and some of them begin to line up in the centre of the church. All of a sudden a giant golden hook swings through the building, skewering those who had lined up through the heart and pulling them out of the building.

The hook speaks of God's divine will. It is gold because it is perfect- there is no detail he has forgotten about. The Holy Spirit has often appeared to me to act as a hook in people's hearts. He is the one who draws us into fellowship with the Father. He is the one who puts the desire in our hearts to serve our daddy.

This hook also speaks of our calling though. If you think about it, our calling is God's perfect will- or a small part of it at least. It's very easy for us to cower away in the corner when the hook swings through, but unless we are in line with his will, we'll miss out on our calling.

I saw a few people who were almost there, but not quite- they were holding back, not submitting totally and utterly, keeping something of the world close to their hearts. When the hook swung through, they just got knocked out. In a way it was better for those who were sitting on the sidelines...

Rev 3:15-16

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

No point in doing this half way guys...
