Have you ever been to the chiropractor? I used to work for one as the marketing manager for his wellness center. What I love about the chiropractor is that people come in one way and leave feeling a whole lot better. The reason being is because they got a much needed adjustment. The challenge with the chiropractor is when you are out of alignment, you can come get an adjustment but it is only temporary, you need to keep coming back and for some people it is frequently.

We have a lot of Christian Chiropractors in the body of Christ. They give you a book to read to adjust you; they give you a scripture to read, hoping to adjust you; they give you a prophetic word or some action to take in order to help adjust you. The challenge is, adjustments are temporary, what you need is not an adjustment, you need to be brought back into alignment. Adjustments feel good for a while, but if you do not get back into alignment you are going to need another adjustment.

The word of God is not a chiropractic adjustment, it is an invitation to come into alignment with the assignment God has for you. If you are out of alignment you are not functioning by design. God does not give you an adjustment, He actually uses prophets, to bring you back into alignment, so you can get going with your assignment. Amos 7:7-8 says, “This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.”

I hear the Holy Spirit saying, I am bringing a prophetic plumb line into my church in order to bring my body back into alignment, because I have an assignment for them to fulfill in their generation. This alignment will cause us to function by design, will break hope deferred and will cause blessings to flow freely. Once you are back in alignment, the need for adjustments ends, because in alignment is how God created us to operate by design.
