A Vision From a Distance

I wanted to share something that was conveyed to me through my wifes mother by someone in her church. They live in the north part of Alabama and were in prayer one night for our church. The lady had never been here or seen our church but she began describing to my mother in law what she saw in her spirit. She described the layout of our church exactly and said she saw people lined up waiting to get in. Now, I had never talked to her or shared with my mother in law what the Lord had shown me in the past. But, there have been several occasions where I have seen in my spirit this church and town overrun with people coming because of what God is doing in this church. I have even seen details that were so clear that it seemed as though it were happening now.

I have never been more content in Christ than I am right now. All I want is a greater measure of Him in my life and whatever He wants to do with me is fine. I am not looking for numbers because what God does will be more than a number. There is a spiritual awakening coming and it is starting with a hunger for God and His word. God will take us through a process of stripping things away and bringing us to a place of utter dependence upon Him. Beloved, hear this one thing: There is no amount of sacrifice, suffering and surrendering that we go through on earth that we will not be eternally grateful for in heaven! God will see us through by His Holy Spirit and bring us into the fullness of His son Jesus Christ.

Re-Digging The Wells

The Lord has spoken to me this past week about the significance of the redigging of the wells that God has established. In every church or ministry that at some time had the life of God moving in it, it was a spiritual well that took on a particular purpose. Now all of them will have certain things in common but the heart of it is uniquely different in fullfilling the purpse that God had created it to be.
The Lord began showing me that what He is doing here is re-digging something that He established a long time ago. And He quickly brought "Missions" to my mind. This church has always had a heart for missions and has had several missionaries come out of this church. As I looked on the back wall of our church, where the pictures of the missionaries we support hang, I saw in my spirit the whole wall filled with missionaries and many of the faces were people going to church here now and many will come later. I immediately saw that God was not only wanting us to support missions but to be a sending agency once more in the final outpouring of His Spirit! My spirit leaped with me and in the words of Isaiah cried, "Here am I, send me"!!!
