Fire for HIM

I was recently at a conference where the speaker was referring to the different stages of freedom.  That "stuck" part of the process of freedom call "I can't" came to my mind.  A log jam was the description of the speaker.  I could see myself standing on the edge of the log jam...on top of the pile of logs.  I was wishing and waiting on the "break free" and waiting.  "The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him." Psalm 28:7 I realized that the log jam represented my trying to do in my own strength what the Lord asked me to do in His.  Suddenly, an active video of freedom formed in my heart and mind.  I no longer had to struggle to kick out of the jam, I simply had to raise my hands in surrender.  As I did, I flew as if on wings.  He was waiting in this glorious river of freedom.  Together, we swam as one.  He was the leader.  He led me in a dance of freedom in the water and in the sky.  Colors a...

Today, some difficult things were happening in my morning.  Rather than let circumstances squash my joy, I knelt before Lord.  As a result, this song rose from my heart: You check the time Results have come and gone But God is still on the throne Hal - le  - lu - jah To - the - Lamb He died and rose again All else is yet to bear such significance So you tried and said and did Your heart is heavy, Son.

One morning I was reading Isaiah 62.  I was struck to the core of how those words spoken over Jerusalem could be said over us as individuals.  It could be spoken over our country.  Let us pray this over our nation today. Regarding our hearts, regarding America: Regarding Zion, I can’t keep my mouth shut, regarding Jerusalem, I can’t hold my tongue, Until her righteousness blazes down like the sun and her salvation flames up like a torch. Foreign countries will see your righteousness, and world leaders your glory. You’ll get a brand-new name straight from the mouth of God. You’ll be a stunning crown in the palm of God’s hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God. No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined . You’ll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration . For as a young man marrie...
