There is an uprising in my soul. There is a call to active duty and my heart has been enlisted. There is a revolution echoing in tones of destiny. I feel the pressing on. There is the Cloud of Witnesses. Some I know and love. Watching, waiting; cheering me on! There is the promise of generational freedom! An invitation to be a breaker. There is a moment laid out like a red carpet in front of my feet. A road of worship. The road of the Narrow Way I used to tread upon. By amazing grace & sure discourses of love, my feet have found that Ancient Road again. The place I was spoken into being for. The path of Knowing Him. Laying all down for this One Thing; alone. The Lord is standing there with an outstretched hand. I know that I must take His hand, take up my Cross, follow after Him. I know the time of COMPLACENCY is over. I know the hidden trials have produced weighty gold. I know that now is the time, the time to walk on. The time to really love... Love mercy, walk humbly, do justly and follow after my God. I know that a door has closed behind me. The old has gone, the new has come. Time to let go.
I feel... Glory like a whisper...embedded in my soul. I cannot ignore the Lover. I cannot deny Wisdom. I have ignored the voice before.
All the places I have been misunderstood fall like ashes at His feet. My heart burns for You.

My heart burns for You...
(Jesus Culture-Obession: Listen to song here.)
Sometimes You're Further than the Moon
Sometimes You're Closer than my skin
You surround me like a winter coat
My heart burns for You.
I have had vivid prophetic encounter dreams for about 4 nights in a row. The strangest of them all; it played out like a movie where I saw inner workings of the sex/human trafficking industry in London, UK, & other cities in the world. The Father's Heart is Beating for Souls in this Day!
What can I say? The Lord is a Jealous, Jealous, Flame of Love! He is after the deeps.
The last two days have been strangely productive. There has been a "getting things in order" urgency in me. A de-cluttering of extraneous things. A prioritizing of what matters. I feel the Lord is calling places of my heart "Up." A sense of "preparation" and "readiness" for a massive shifting has been lit inside. Yet...
So much battle. I feel like Paul. Commanding the flesh to stand down. I see some things (like some of my relationships) "swirling" under the strain of the hour. I hear the Lord singing to me, "Yoke is easy, burden; light." I feel that now the exchange of Heaven must occur.
"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior..." Isaiah 43 (The Message)
I am taking Him at His Word. I am letting go and finding freedom. Finding rest. Finding a beckoning. I have to let go of the "old."
It is time for the "New." He makes all things new.
"Open up, heavens, and rain.
Clouds, pour out buckets of My goodness!
Loosen up, earth, and bloom salvation;
sprout right living.
I, God, generate all this..." Isaiah 45 (The Message)
I feel the Lord ushering my prayer life deeper, to a posture of lying face down upon His altar of Love. I am so undone by His love. I know during the remainder of this 40 days, as I cry out to God (in so many ways, for mandates and movements,) that, indeed, it is about all of that. But, it is about NONE of it, too. It is about My Jesus. And this Love.
This verse comes to mind:
"For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!" Psalm 84:10-12
I guess my prayer going into this next week for all of us, that God will take us from glory to glory, causing us to be like those verses. My prayer is that He will be glorified in our (my) weakness. That His Son will be put on display in my life. Jesus. Come!
