Finding the Path in a "Winds of Change" Season - Nate Johnston, Colorado Springs, CO - Apr 14, 2025
A "Winds of Change" Moment
We are in a "winds of change" moment. Can you feel it? It's not a moment where some things are changing or most things are changing, but all things are changing. This is a moment where the Holy Spirit is moving upon the earth, brooding, shifting, and rearranging us, the church, and even nations in preparation for the harvest.
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8 ESV)
You might ask, "But doesn't God stay the same?" Yes and no. He doesn't change but he moves. The Holy Spirit is always moving, forever leading us through seasons of change and growth. And in seasons when the "ark" moves, only the seekers and the lovers will move with it, and that reality has never been greater than now. Right now many can feel him summoning us to move with him and leave anything that isn't HIM behind.
This is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are gathering up the battle-weary and broken from the ashes of defeat, just like in Ezekiel 37, where the breath of God brought life to dry bones and caused them to stand on their feet.
"Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live."'" (Ezekiel 37:9 NIV)
It is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing, like in Acts 2, when tongues of fire came upon those who gathered.
"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2 NIV)
Just as the wind comes and rearranges, just as the Holy Spirit moves and shakes things apart, he is also the Comforter; he is also the Healer. In the same sentence, he shakes the earth and stills it. In the same sentence, he blows upon the seas, creating tumult, then brings the calm.
