Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Oct 6, 2025 Life's true essence isn't found in possessions but in knowing Christ intimately and becoming like Him. You are already God's child—this discussion is settled. You carry divine DNA, and your journey is allowing these spiritual genes to manifest until it becomes undeniable that you belong to God. You carry an unusual enrichment of the Holy Spirit—Scripture calls this the "earnest" or "first fruits." There's a literal saturation of God's presence concentrated in you. Creation itself groans for your manifestation, and these groanings are captured in the seven feasts of Israel—actual times when the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more tangible in creation. When cosmic signs appear during these appointed times, discern what God is saying. Jesus submitted to this protocol: He died during Passover, rose during First Fruits, and the Spirit came on Pentecost. Develop spiritual intelligence. Numbers in Scripture—Job's seven sons and three daughters, his 7,000 sheep and 3,000 camels, Daniel's twenty-one day fast—reveal angelic operations and wisdom patterns that godly people trapped on earth through their walk with God. Multiple spiritual forces broadcast to you simultaneously, like earth's atmosphere: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Each gas represents different spirits trying to communicate. Nitrogen isn't giving you life—oxygen is. Consecration increases the "oxygen" in your spiritual atmosphere, amplifying God's voice until He becomes the dominant influence. Apply the greenhouse effect: specific atmospheric conditions allow specific seeds to grow. Expose yourself to something's atmosphere through consecration, and that thing's wisdom blossoms in your life. Joshua was told to meditate on God's Word day and night so his way would be prosperous. Increase God's presence in your life and experience prosperity. Understand Kronos versus Kairos. Kronos is ordinary time under wickedness's influence—"the days are evil." But when filled with the Spirit, you break into Kairos—time under God's influence where His purposes manifest. This is redeeming time. Spiritual sight operates differently than natural sight. In the spiritual realm, you see by the light within you. Satan's light makes his deceptions appear normal. Under his light, Peter tried preventing Jesus from the cross. But under God's light, Jesus saw the joy set before Him. Once you can see something spiritually, it becomes tangible—it's just a matter of prolonged engagement. The ten plagues of Egypt weren't God directly killing but His light progressively infiltrating Egypt, revealing the pain demonic powers were already inflicting. Each plague represented increasing measures of God's presence. At the third plague, magicians encountered "the finger of God"—a threshold where they could no longer replicate God's presence. Consecration does this in your life: increases God's presence until darkness's tricks stop working. This same finger that wrote the Ten Commandments now writes on your heart through communion with God. Where the Spirit is Lord—the only one speaking—there is liberty. When you create that atmosphere, plagues break out: the death of this age's gods in your life. Things gripping your soul lose their hold. Strongholds are pulled down. Paul said if you live according to the flesh, you'll discover you're not truly alive. But if through the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Sonship is about God's glory influencing, ruling over, saturating you until your genetic correspondence with God manifests visibly. You're designed to be a true human being: a priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Take advantage of strategic times like the Feast of Tabernacles—times when creation's groaning intensifies and the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more accessible. Consecrate yourself during these seasons through worship, meditation on God's Word, and fasting. Remember: repentance isn't saying "I'm sorry"—it's changing your mind. Transformation isn't trying harder; it's exposure to the right light. In God's light, Satan appears undesirable. In God's light, you see yourself as you truly are in Christ. The closer you draw to God, the more your sonship manifests, the less influence this age has over you, and the more you realize you're born of God, carrying His DNA, destined for glory. This is your inheritance. Walk in it. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

We gather on the Eve of Pentecost to be nurtured in our rich Anglican heritage. St. Aidan’s Anglican Church, KC, MO is a member of the Anglican Church of North America and a part of the Anglican Diocese of the Upper Midwest, a regional collective of churches called to foster a renewal of Word and Sacrament infused by the Holy Spirit (Scripture, Sacraments, Spirit). The Great Commission of Jesus calls us to the mission of making disciples through Word and Sacrament — (baptizing in the name of … teaching them to observe …). We believe there remains a great spiritual hunger in our secular age. Atheism is not so much an issue as the desire to be spiritual, not religious. Since our hearts are restless until they find their rest in God (St. Augustine), we affirm any spiritual hunger as a gift to be nurtured. Our task is to help connect this spiritual longing back to the historic roots of classical Christianity infused by the Holy Spirit. To this end, we are blessed to host Canon Dr. Stephen and Dr. Barbara Gauthier. About Stephen is a priest in the Anglican Church in North America, a member of the preaching team at Church of the Resurrection (Wheaton, Illinois). He holds a Ph.D. in French from Vanderbilt University and has devoted a lifetime to the study of Scripture, theology, church history, liturgics, the early church fathers, canon law, and Carmelite spirituality. Stephen also is a recently retired certified public accountant and has served for more than a quarter century as the Director of Technical Services for the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. He is the author of numerous books and articles on accounting, auditing, and financial reporting, including Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting, commonly known as the “Blue Book,” which is the standard manual for state and municipal accounting in the United States. Barbara holds a Ph.D. in French from Vanderbilt and teaches Greek and Latin in the Wheaton area. Over the past decade she has gained wide recognition for her insightful e-mail updates on developments affecting the Anglican Communion. Barbara is responsible for the daily offices at Church of the Resurrection, and serves each Sunday as a prayer minister. She also teaches adult classes, both for Church of the Resurrection and for the Greenhouse Movement. Stephen and Barbara have been married for more than 30 years and are the proud parents of three adult children, Marc, Paul, and Gregory.
