Passover has passed. Easter celebrated. Prophesy released. Yet the clock ticks on. What exactly are we waiting for? What are we hoping to see? What are we praying for? Revival we cry out!

I ponder as I reflect on this blessed day, April 8th, my 39th birthday. Daddy God’s all consuming presence, the beauty of life, flowers in bloom, sprinkled cupcakes, icing all over little fingers, family reunited and restored, inner healing, letting go, feasting. One of those most precious moments was holding the hand of my son as he drifted to sleep. His tender little fingers laced within mine. I begin to pray, only to become so overwhelmed with gratitude and yet my heart so burdened, I struggled to speak. “Mommy, why are you crying.” “I’m just so grateful for you.” Meanwhile my insides scream with the cry of my heart. Will the ones I love so deeply and cherish most come to truly know and experience Gods great personal love for them? This is our only hope.

I wonder while we are all waiting for the sky to open up, the miracle moment of revival, the parting of the Red Sea we are missing the greatest miracle of all….

The resurrection of our heart

Daddy God gave me a promise of my own physical healing. He reminds me often. I constantly wake up like a little girl on Christmas checking for the gift of healing. Is it possible to wake with no more pain in my body, no sensations or discomfort. Then I could say, I have been healed. Oh but this day was different. My new birth was much more glorious! I woke up instead not consumed with whether the body was healed but instead I woke alive to Christ. I woke up grateful simply because of knowing Christ. Knowing His love for me. Fully understanding irregardless of the state of my body or any other circumstance for that matter, nothing could seperate me from Christ love nor His presence. I woke to a heart whole.

A rebirthing of our nation starts first in the heart of man. For in the wholeness of heart we will become ONE body. We will BECOME one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. When your story is complete nothing will have mattered more then, did you become love?

And this, so that I may know Him (experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely) and in that same way experience the power of His resurrection
