From The Desk Of Evangelist Nathan Morris

“Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’ Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. But Jesus answered them, saying, ‘The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.’”

John 12:20-24

of the promise of Christ. The Father had gone to great lengths to reveal the mysteries of this New Covenant in Christ. What I want you to see is that Pentecost sets its watch by Passover.

This truth causes us to understand that there is a purpose and a process to seeing God’s power manifest in our lives. You cannot have Pentecost without Passover! You cannot have the fullness of the Holy Ghost without the blood of Jesus! We cannot have a harvest without first understanding the power of His sacrifice.

Power follows sacrifice!

There are seasons in our lives when God is seeking to move us into another realm of harvest. The Holy Spirit wants to move in our lives to bring about a supernatural metamorphosis; however, in order for there to be a metamorphosis in your circumstance, there also must be a change of form in you.

The Greeks had come to see Jesus. They were not in the

Covenant, but they were seekers. They wanted to see Jesus.

Andrew and Philip went together to tell Jesus that the Greeks wanted to see Him. It was as though they were saying, “Jesus, this is a great opportunity to reach these people. You can show them who You are!” But Jesus responds, “My hour has come!”

And He starts talking about agriculture. Philip and Andrew must have been so confused. Jesus said, “Lest a seed fall into the ground and die, it cannot produce a harvest!”

There comes a time in your life where you must move into a new realm of authority. You have been blessed in the past, but you have been as effective as you can be in your current form. You need a great change. You need a metamorphosis!

Jesus had healed the sick, raised the dead, and fed the multitudes, but He was about to move into a realm that the disciples didn’t have a clue about. Jesus had reached the limit of what could be done in that current form. He was using the seed to explain that in order for the Greeks to come into the Covenant, He would have to die, be buried, and rise from the dead. Once that metamorphosis had taken place, by His Spirit He would bring the nations to Himself!

Have you reached your limit in your current form? Are you ready for God to take you to the next level?

Friend, I pray that as 2017 comes to a close, you will experience a magnificent metamorphosis. May we go from glory to glory!

In the next issue of Infusion Magazine, Evangelist Nathan will speak further about A Magnificent Metamorphosis.

She said, “Get prayed up. Plan a time of prayer and fasting, and have your community of faith praying for you and for the event. You really need to prepare so that God can use you in the experience.”
