I was at lunch recently with a sister who has been through an incredibly hard year. I cannot even describe all she and her husband have been through, in almost every area of their lives. Some things just bizarre, and occurring in a seemingly relentless and often simultaneous manner. But as I was sharing with her, I told her I was able to see in both of them a new strengthening, establishing and upgrade coming their way!
The Lord recently, woke me up very early one morning. As soon as I woke up, I heard the Lord say, "Revival and reform." I then sensed strongly that God wanted to prepare each of His sons and daughters for the coming revival and reformation. Preparation will come as we each devote ourselves in this season to even more prayer and seeking the face of God. Quality time spent in the presence of God will make us ready for what God is about to do.
Worship is the language of heaven as it is constant and will go on through eternity. It is such a vast subject. There are so many different angles to look at worship from. Sacrifice is at the heart of worship and without it true worship doesn't exist. Living a life for the pleasure of the Father is what Jesus exemplified as worship. Then we have the expressiveness of a worshipful heart that is part of it as well. May God fill you with inspiration to live a life of true worship – because that is what He is looking for! Enjoy God Always!
"What I have called you to do is not of your self but by My spirit to root out, to pull down, and to destroy, to throw down, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:10 When I call you to speak, do not be afraid of their faces for I will give you the words to say. I will be with you to deliver you and to give you the strength to stand bold as a lion and fearless. There are giants in the land and in the natural are taking over, but what are you to do but to rise up and to be strong. Seek My face and My strategy against the evil one, for I AM greater in you than he who is in the world.
Yes, we are experiencing a "gross darkness" that is covering the earth. We are all feeling the effects of ongoing storms of mayhem, dark clouds of corruption and the shifting shadows of subversion. But lest you think the darkness is only an indication of the devil's presence, remember there is one greater who alone is Lord of the night. "The earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water" (Gen.1:2). Before there was light, there was darkness—and both originated from the same creator. Darkness is not always the absence of God for it is He who made it. But not only does God move over the darkness, He rides upon it to carry out His purpose.
In the natural God has been expanding my husband and I and quite literally giving us room to hold more. We just traded our 2-seater car for an older car that seats 7. We close on a fixer-upper home this month that will allow us to build a whole guest section to house traveling missionaries. In the midst of all this, God has been teaching us much about hospitality in preparation. While much of it has been for us, God has put it on me to share a word about entertaining that applies to many in the body in such a time as this.
Can you feel something stirring in the spiritual atmosphere? Big heavenly events are coming up! September is almost here—the season of the Days of Awe. These are Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year celebration) through Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) when God opens up the Books of Heaven and begins to reveal new assignments to you. It's a very exciting time! The Lord's made it clear to me that we need fresh wisdom during this time. Here are a few ways you can step into the wisdom flowing from Heaven right now.
Viruses and sickness are evil! But God! His Word promises that, "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom. 8:28).Those who love Him are having their lives and purposes developed within them even in the midst of evil. We have to understand that we live in a fallen world. Man creates many iniquitous pits that we can fall into. But God always has a plan—plan A, plan B, plan C or plan D—He never runs out of plans of redemption because of His love for mankind! If we listen, the Spirit of God will maneuver us through the time in which we live.
I received this word from the Lord about a year ago and although it stirred me at the time He quickened it into my spirit, it seems quite fitting for the time we are in now. This week signals the close of one season - which has been quite a long season of preparation for many - and the start of a new season. In this new season we will see many new doors opening. Some of these doors are ones we have prayed for, for a long time. These doors are answered prayer but do not be shocked that when the doors open they will not look exactly the way we had imagined they'd open up to be, nor the manner in which they were made opened, as well as, the expression of what they prove to be like.
To all of my dear friends and wonderful ministry partners, I'm so excited to announce the release of my newest book, Meditation: Its Practice and Effects, available now worldwide wherever books are sold. When I felt the inspiration of the Holy Ghost directing me to write the book, I found myself asking an important question: "Is prayer the same as meditation?" It's a valid question, if you think about it. Chances are when you think of meditation, you envision images of someone chanting, seated in what looks like an uncomfortable position, legs crossed and eyes closed.
