• The purpose of difficult seasons is to help us break free of burdens and weights we thought we would carry into the next chapter of our lives.
• God desires to make us new creations and remaining faithful through the fire is key to receiving his blessings.
• Jesus serves as an example for humanity, and we can access the same sevenfold spirit of the Lord that rested upon him.
• Being the remnant means taking action in faith and spreading the good news in order to bring God's people home.
Remnant meaning:
Residue/what’s left over.
In Isaiah’s prophecy it had a special significance. “A holy seed, or spiritual kernel”, which should survive “impending judgment and become the “germ of the people of God”. (if we look at the word “germ”)
Germ - small mass of living substance capable of developing into an organism or one of it’s parts. A germ spreads, infecting others in it’s path. God needs his people to spread the good news and in order to bring his people home.
In the bible it means a portion of people left after a disaster, especially a disaster identified with divine judgment.
