And Then, Trouble Starts!

The more Excellent Way
After preaching your finest sermon, and prophesying the most majestic prophecy of your life, after healing every disease, and performing the most astounding miracles you could ever imagine.
After writing the most thought provoking book, using the most eloquent and exhaustive vocabulary — after utilising every possible means of communicating God in His Splendour and Magnificence has been exhausted — when it has all finally been said and done, and you allow yourself to become still, you will discover that in your silence God speaks the loudest, that His greatest Power and His most Majestic expression is found in the expression of His Love.
Extract from “The more Excellent Way” by Johann van der Hoven
(Living from Union with The Divine)
And Then, Trouble Starts!
How is it that the moment you are ready to step into a new dimension in The Holy Spirit that trouble starts?
It was so with Jesus Himself.
We do not read of any trouble before The Holy Spirit came to fill Him. But when He entered that new dimension of Life, all hell broke loose!
It was the same with those who walked with Him. They had no problems before the day of Pentecost, but after they were filled with The Spirit, they were soon in prison!
The dark forces and the priests of religion will always get stirred when a man or a woman is ready to follow The Spirit to enter a new dimension of Spiritual Life.
We have to understand that when we face these times of transition, we are entering a moment of the greatest blessing for us!
It is at those moments when even our enemies acknowledge our promotion, although they do not celebrate with us.
Rest in Him and be assured, the tantrums will pass.
God’s Plans for you will always prevail!
~ Johann van der Hoven
Johann van der Hoven has followed the Holy Spirit on a transformative journey since 1990. From 1991 onward, he has experienced and walked in the profound reality of God’s Presence, a journey that has shaped his life and message.

Hi Pastor Johann. I’ve followed you on the media and wondered where you are. I really enjoy your ministry and appreciate your special anointing. Are you still doing crusades? Can’t find any recent services of you on YouTube. I gave my life to Christ as a young boy in the AFM while pastor Philip Gerber was our pastor in Klerksdorp in the seventies. Are you still in the Cape province? I’m a pastor in Krugersdorp Gauteng. Would like to meet you if you are around in my area some time. Blessings.
Johann, how could I possibly put into words the beauty of how you spelled out for us the MAIN things we must learn, main things we must do, and the most powerful desires of the Lord for us to understand #1 this too shall pass #2 He is watching and listening ever ready to take us up higher, allow us to pass into a new dimension of truth #3 Resting in Him, even when attacks come, promotion is ours, and no matter what, His plan will prevail. A true flow of an appointed prophet releasing the love of the Father. Thank you for sharing. In His love, Sandi Holman
Amen
An excellent post that is thought provoking and eye opening for me. Made me think of the many times and seasons in my life, I was attacked more after many spiritual successes and triumphs. I questioned God and asked him why….. now I understand why.
God bless
