WHY ARE WE WAITING?!!??

okay, here’s the deal-

i’m certain we’re all quite aware of what’s pouring forth in Lakeland, FLA these days. michael and i have never felt so desperate to be somewhere in our lives. we’re not merely fascinated with the charismatic rhetoric or the miracles themselves-we are fascinated with Christ’s presence in the midst of them-moving as only He can, in love and absolute compassion for His children-for His bride. i have been praying for weeks and weeks before this that i would carry God’s glory…His love, and be motivated only therein. and here before us lies the opportunity to expedite the process, and gather ourselves in the midst of something phenomenal, in which His beloved church is being given the opportunity.

this is why, i desire to go. i desire to bring revival and pour it like waterfalls of oil through Over the Rhine…to release it in authority to the churches…yes, of course i desire to be healed, but that is becoming so secondary.

i’m frustrated with our inability to go, and even further so with the response of the saints—“well, if you’re supposed to go a check will show up in your mailbox or blah blah blah…” ENOUGH! sometimes God is waiting for you to make a move-He has never partnered with us in that specific way, and i’m not saying He wouldn’t now, i’m saying things work differently for many of us. He wants to give us the desires of our heart—Yes, He placed them there, but sometimes He wants to rule beside you and see what you do. this is why He told Adam to name the animals- this is why it was in David’s heart to build the Temple, and God said-“hey great idea, not what i had in mind, but you have my heart, it’s a great idea-i’ll do what you say but through your son, i have my reasons”…

we need to start to take the steps. we need to stop constantly checking and rechecking whether we’re in the Will of God in THIS way-not all ways. if what you want to do is righteous, and for His glory-get your butts moving! i’m tired of merely stumbling into the will of God- i want to see healings-more than anything i desire to see mental retardation and autism, particularly in children, be complete dissolved in the Lord’s love—i desire to love with the deepest of Christ’s love…think of how paul said that God would testify how he longed for them (the church) with the love of Christ. OH! that is my desire!

and no, i certainly don’t have to go to FLA to receive this anointing in my lifetime…i need merely put my feet to it as i have set my heart. i, however, believe, there is something tangible there, to confirm and console a wearied spirit who has been told she “can’t” for too long.

i’m coming Lord. i don’t know how or when, but i’m coming. you don not give stones when your children ask for eggs-you desire as i desire. you alone make me righteous.
