STORM PREPARATIONS

I kept getting notifications on my phone that significant storms/weather were coming to my area.  I could see the flashes of lightning and hear the rumbling of the thunder in the distance.  As I was listening, the thunder got louder as it moved closer.

Past experience has taught me that during storms my electricity has a good chance of going out.  With darkness coming, I began to make my preparations in the event this happened.

As I began my preparations, I heard the Lord speaking:

A SPIRITUAL STORM IS SWIRLING IN THE ATMOSPHERE!  ARE YOU MAKING PREPARATIONS?

I AM CALLING MY WATCHMEN!  I HAVE GIVEN YOU EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR WHAT’S COMING.  STAY ALERT!  SOUND THE ALARM WHEN THE ENEMY IS DRAWING NEAR TO THE GATES.  CALL FORTH THE ARMY!

I AM CALLING MY WORSHIPPERS!  GO BEFORE THE ARMY WITH SINGING AND DANCING.  SING A NEW SONG!  DANCE A NEW DANCE!  A NEW SOUND IS GOING FORTH THAT WILL BREAK STRONGHOLDS AND BIRTH DESTINIES!  RELEASE THE SOUND!

I AM CALLING MY PROPHETS!  LAY ASIDE YOUR OWN AGENDAS AND TAKE UP MINE. SEE WHAT I SEE AND HEAR MY VOICE.  I AM RELEASING MY PRESENCE IN A GREATER WAY.  SEEK ME…DRAW NEAR TO ME…FEEL MY HEART.  SPEAK FROM THIS HEART CONNECTION YOU HAVE WITH ME.

I AM CALLING MY PEOPLE!  DO NOT REACT TO CIRCUMSTANCES GOING ON AROUND YOU WITH FEAR, ANGER, HATE, AND DIVISIVENESS.  DON’T LET EARTHLY CIRCUMSTANCES DRAG YOU DOWN, BUT LET ME RAISE YOU UP!  RISE UP LIKE ON THE WINGS OF EAGLES AND SPEAK MY WORD OVER EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.  SPEAK LIFE! SPEAK PEACE!  SPEAK RECONCILIATION!  SPEAK RESTORATION!

A SPIRITUAL STORM IS COMING!  ARE YOU MAKING PREPARATIONS?  DRAW NEAR TO ME, BELOVED.  TAKE MY HAND AND LET US FACE THE STORM TOGETHER.  MAY WE SPEAK TO THE STORM IN ONE VOICE!

STAND UP!  HEAD UP!  EYES FORWARD!  MY BANNER OVER YOU IS LOVE!  ONWARD & UPWARD, MIGHTY WARRIORS OF LOVE!

CHURCH!!

‪The last two Sundays I was out of town. I can’t believe how excited I am to be going to Church tomorrow! I love being in God’s House with God’s people! I love to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords with my Brothers & Sisters!

I am expectant and ready to hear God speak through His chosen vessel – my pastor.

On the way to Church I will be worshipping and praying in my prayer closet – my car – with eyes open and voice proclaiming!

I love You, Lord!!

HE’S CALLING!

The Lord is so far above any thing this world has to offer. He is so far above every thought, every emotion, every circumstance that we can experience. And yet, this awesome God wants us to draw nearer to Him than we ever have before! He wants our thoughts, emotions, and circumstances to come under His Lordship! He wants His Beloved to be totally His! He is calling His Bride!! Can you hear Him?

I AM CALLING YOU!

I hear the Lord saying:

“My Spirit within you makes you MORE than a conqueror–so don’t settle for just getting by.

My Spirit within you equips you to do GREATER works than I did while walking this earth–so don’t underestimate your value in the kingdom.

Stop trusting your ability and start trusting MINE!

I AM calling you…”

SPEAK LIFE!

Are we talking too much about all the wrong things going on in our lives or in the lives of others?

There comes a time when just talking about and lamenting our current circumstances needs to end. It’s time to start DECLARING and DECREEING God’s will in our circumstances and in the circumstances that others are facing!

The Lord is calling us to-

SPEAK LIFE!  SPEAK LIFE!  SPEAK LIFE!

And watch the circumstances turnaround!  Watch the dead things come to life!!

WATCH AND SEE!!

OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SPEAK!!

“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life…”.     ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew‬ ‭10:20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Barometer or Thermostat?

[sigh]. Why do we have to lose electricity every time there is a rain storm or there is one close by. (It’s not even raining here!). 😟

And I feel the Lord giving me a spiritual application:
We can be affected by what is going on around us – even if it’s not happening to us directly! The spiritual atmosphere can cause spiritual consequences. So, the solution?

CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE!

May we be thermostats and not simply barometers. May we not only discern what is going on spiritually – but may we change the spiritual atmosphere and temperature! 

 Yes, Lord!!!
