I Am Releasing a Fresh Oil12/4/2022  I see angels and they are carrying horns full of fresh oil and their hands are dripping with fresh oil. God is releasing fresh oil and He is pouring out fresh oil on us. He is resetting us. There is an outpouring of refreshing. There is an outpouring of joy. Who wants to get in His outpouring?
Psalms 92:10 (TPT) “Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empowered my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me.” I hear the Lord saying, “I am refreshing and resetting My people. I am restoring you and pouring fresh oil on you. I am preparing you for this next season. Get in this outpouring. Be refreshed, reset and restored. I am empowering you for this new season ahead of you. You will look different, walk different and yes even have a different perspective. My fresh outpouring will transform some things in you. I am going to pour so much fresh oil on you that you will drip My oil everywhere you go and bring shift to the places you go. People around you will feel it and see something different in you and want what you have. Share it, share Me. It is time to reap the harvest. I am AWAKENING those that have been asleep and My churches that have just been playing church. It is time and I choose you to be the one I use to AWAKEN My people. Will you say YES? I am pouring out fresh oil over you for you and for others. You have been crying out for ME to use you, I have heard you, and now is your time. Receive My outpouring. For those of you who receive this and get in My outpouring, you will be drenched in My fresh oil. Let's go together and do signs, wonders and miracles. You are My vessel and it is TIME for what is in you to be poured out” Mark 16:17-18 (NKJV) “And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” Matthew 10:8 (NKJV) “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” I am seeing the oil being poured out and instantly people are being changed, empowered, renewed, reset and refreshed. I am getting in this outpouring and just as the scripture says, freely I have been given, so freely I will give. I am going to take this fresh oil that I have received and I am going to go and give it freely. I am going with the Lord and doing signs, wonders and miracles. Will you come too? Hold your hands out and let Him drench you in His fresh oil!!! Let Him renew you, refresh you and reset you. After you do that, go with Him and do signs, wonders and miracles. It is time!!!! Receive and give!!!! Go out and shift atmospheres, go out and AWAKEN others, go out and AWAKEN the Church.

I Want to Smell Cedar Coming from You11/26/2022  The Lord kept causing me to smell cedar. I love the smell of cedar, but I knew the Lord was going to speak to me through this smell. I began to ask Him what it was He wanted to say or what He was wanting to show me through this smell. He began to give me revelation.
A cedar is decay resistant and insect repellent. It is durable and stable and is beautiful. It is a symbol of nobility, strength and of incorruptibility. David used cedar in building the temple. In I Kings 5, David was preparing to build the temple and in verse 6 we read “So give orders that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. My men will work with yours, and I will pay you for your men whatever wages you set. You know that we have no one so skilled in feeling timber as the Sidonians.” Solomon used cedar in his palace. I Kings 7:2 (NIV) “He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high, with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams.” Cedar was used in the building of Solomon's palace, in David's palace and in the building of the temple among other places and things. Cedar represents royalty, a mighty person. It is tall and upright and used extensively in the royal residence and the temple. God began to cause me to smell cedar and I heard Him say: “When My children trust Me and lean into Me and do not waiver, it is a smell of cedar to Me. I smell the smell of royalty (you know who you are and your authority, and that comes to ME as the smell of cedar. When you trust Me and stand tall and stand your ground against your enemy, I smell a strong smell of cedar. It is a fragrant offering to Me that you trust Me and believe in who I say you are. It rises to Me. I want you to know I see you as royalty; I see you strong and immovable. I see you and know you as the victor. I say to you today, it is your Kairos moment to establish that victory in your life. No longer live from a victim mentality or from the place of a victim. I have put you in victory. You are to live there and when you do you smell as cedar to Me. Let it rise from you to Me. I love when you take your place with Me. I love when you accept who I say you are and walk in it.” The Lord loves it when we walk in what He paid for, when we truly know who we are and walk as that person. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV) “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV) “For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” It is up to you and me to live in that victory and believe who God says we are. It is time you and I be who God says we are, do what God says we can do, have what God says we can have. And when we do these things, He smells cedar. Be resistant to the cares of the world, to the attacks of the enemy, to the lies, the fear etc. Let's do this. Let's honor God and let Him smell cedar coming from our lives by believing Him and living in victory 24/7. He has planned for us to live life to the fullest. So, if you aren't there yet, step out of where you have been and step into what He says and who He says you are and into that FULL life and VICTORY!!! Let's go for it. Trust Him, He will not fail you. And I promise, from what I have experienced today from the smell and the revelation God has given me, He loves to smell cedar coming from us. When He smells cedar coming from us, He knows we are trusting Him and living in the victory HE has given us and we see ourselves as who He says we are and as royalty. After all, you are a Son or Daughter of THE KING!!! Believe it, walk it, be her or him and live FULL!!!!

I Am Releasing My Lions and Lionesses11/18/2022  As I was seeking the Lord for this blog I began to hear lions and lionesses roar. The roar was fierce and so deep and loud. I immediately heard the Lord say, “I am releasing My lions and lionesses. I am releasing them with a fierce, mighty, loud roar. I am releasing them with My roar. They have been carrying a sound from Heaven and it is time to release it. I am releasing you to roar.”
Proverbs 28:1(b) (NKJV) “But the righteous are a bold as a lion.” Proverbs 30:30 (NKJV) “A lion, which is mighty among beasts, and does not turn away from any.” Joel 3:16 (NKJV) “The Lord will also roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and the earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people.” It is time that we release the roar lions and lionesses of God. ROAR!!!!! It is time you and I allow God to release us and that we open our mouths and allow Him to release the ROAR inside of us. Haggai 2:6 (NKJV) “For thus says the Lord of hosts; ‘Once more ( it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, ’says the Lord of hosts.” “I, the Lord, am releasing you and I am releasing My roar through you. It is time that you and I together shake the nations. I am releasing My glory on the earth. I am releasing a shaking that will WAKE up this nation. I am releasing My roar through you to wake up My people all over the world. Roar, My child, Roar.” One of the reasons a lion roars is to establish territory. It can be heard for a long distance. It can be deafening. When a lion roars, attention is given. God is wanting to release us and release His roar through us to use us to awaken His people and the nations. Will you allow Him to release you? Will you open your mouth and let Him fill it with HIS ROAR, a roar that will shake the nations? ROAR, people of God ROAR!!!! It is time that we, with God, shake the nations!!! ROAR!!!

Turn Around and Acceleration11/10/2022  I was awakened by the sound of intense wind, of a whirlwind. The Lord again was speaking to me through sound. I was seeking the Lord about this and I began to hear an intense sound of turning. As I was hearing the sound I saw the wind of God pushing us/accelerating us into our next season. There is a turnaround for you, an accelerated turning that God is doing quickly. In an instant you will not be where you have been.
Job 37:12 (ESV) “They turn around and around by His guidance, to accomplish all that He commands them on the face of the habitable world.” Psalms 34:17 (NKJV) “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.” Some of you have been in your situations so long it has become your identity. God is your identity, not your situations. God is turning you from that situation into the new He has for you. He is accelerating you onto the path you should have been on all along. The wind and turning that I was hearing was so strong it was as if I could feel it. I could feel the turning; I could feel the acceleration. This is very real. Get ready and step into your turnaround. God is breaking you free of the old and the false identity you have been living in. He is ready to take us all beyond where we have been and way beyond ourselves. He is releasing you and turning you so swiftly it will be instantaneous. There is turnaround for you NOW. There is acceleration for you NOW!!! There is not a waiting game. There is no delay, it is NOW!!! We are not waiting on God; He is waiting for us. Step into this turnaround, step into this acceleration. Allow God to pick you up in His wind and take you where He wants to take you. This is a significant time for us. God is speaking turn around and acceleration to us. We must believe Him. grab hold of this, and allow Him to turn us and accelerate us. This is quick, swift and powerful. The force of this is incredible. God is going to catapult you! You just have to trust, say yes, and step. God is saying to us now, “I am ready, are you? I am ready to turn all things around for you. I am ready to turn you around. I am ready to accelerate you faster than you have ever gone and further than you have ever gone. Step into My wind and let Me take you everywhere I want to take you. Let My wind not only take you where I want but take you there as fast I want to take. You will NEVER be the same!! Your life will be dramatically different. Let’s go.”

New Realms And Higher Levels11/3/2022  I was awakened by the sound like you hear at a bank when you put your checks or money in the tube and push the button and the tube is sucked up into the chute. It was with the sound of the tube being sucked up that the Lord awakened me.
As I began to seek Him on this, this is what He said, “I am ready to take you places you have only dreamed of. I am ready to accelerate you beyond you. There are realms I want to take you to, that I want you to experience that are way beyond your natural understanding. Fresh new places. Places flowing with new wine. Places beyond you. There are encounters with Me that I have for you that you have yet to enter and experience. I want to bring you to new levels with Me. Will you come? Just rest in My love and rest in Me and let me take you on the greatest ride of your life thus far. Just as the tube you put into your bank cylinder and release it, release yourself to Me and let me take you into My great unknown.” Exodus 33:14 (NKJV) “And He said, “ My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Amos 3:7 (NLT) “Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until He reveals His plans to His servants the prophets.” Amos 9:13-15 (MSG) “Yes indeed, it won't be long now” God’s Decree. Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once- and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for My people Israel: “They’ll rebuild their ruined cities. They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine. They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land. They'll never again be uprooted from the land I have given them.” God your God says so.” Your God says so. What He says, He will do. He has said it, so get ready for acceleration, get ready for Him to take you places you have never been. Get ready for Him to take you to new realms. Numbers 23:18 (NLT) “God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has He ever promised and not carried it through?” Isaiah 38:7 (NLT) “And this is a sign from the Lord to prove that He will do as He promised.” We can trust our Daddy God to do what He says. He is not a man that He should lie. He can be trusted. He has such a plan for us. We have to believe Him in order to go where He wants to take us. In order to experience things way beyond us, we have to believe Him without limits. After all, the only limit God has is what we put on Him. So let’s take all limits off of God. Let's believe Him. Let's go beyond ourselves into the great unknown with God. Don’t you want to go beyond where you are? If it is within our capabilities, it isn’t really believing God to do more. That is relying on ourselves. God is wanting us to trust Him beyond our own capabilities, because that is really trusting Him. That is really going beyond ourselves. Where is the trusting and believing in God, if we can do it in our own abilities. It is when it is beyond us and out of our comfort zone that it takes us further. How can we go beyond ourselves and into the realms of God if we don't believe Him and trust Him? Leave trusting in your abilities and go beyond, into trusting God and in the abilities and gifts He has given you. I have experienced a lot with God, but I want to experience ALL He has for me. I have gone so many places with God, but I know there is so much more. “Take me up God into the great unknown with you. I trust You God.” Let our cry be, “Take me to Your great unknown.” I am telling you from my own experience, when I have shut everything out and just stood and surrendered to God, not even saying a word, but just entering His presence, I have experienced great journeys with God and incredible encounters that have rocked me to the core. It is the willingness, trust, surrender, and believing in God that will get you to these places. Heavenly encounters are waiting for you. Are you ready to go? New levels are waiting for you. Are you ready to leave the level you are on and trust God and go to the next level with Him? Why would anyone want to stay where they are and settle for the experience they have had when God has so much more. God is saying to you today, “Go beyond you. Go with Me to the great unknown. I have great adventures and journeys ahead for you. Let's go together. Rivers of new wine are waiting for you to dive into and drink. Rest in Me, trust Me, release yourself to Me, get beyond just trusting in your own abilities and what you can do. Trust Me, you are about to experience the greatest ride and journey of your lives thus far. I am accelerating you and taking you higher and taking you to greater levels. When you release yourself to Me and trust Me I will grab hold of you and take you higher, just as the bank tube is sucked up, you will be “sucked up”, so to speak, into the new realms and encounters I have for you. Come, encounter Me in new and greater ways. You will never be the same again.”

Healing and Restoring the Heart and Family10/28/2022  I saw a vision of a broken, damaged heart and the Lord took the heart and began to bring restoration to it. He began to speak to me and He said, '' I am restoring the hearts of families. I am restoring the hearts of those who have been wounded and deeply hurt. To those of you who have been wounded and had trauma, I say to you, it is your day to be restored. I am bringing restoration to families. I am uniting families once again for My divine purpose.”
I could vividly see the hand of God holding hearts and healing them. I could see the healing balm of Gilead being put on hearts and I saw them quickly healed and restored. It was such an incredibly beautiful vision. Wounds and trauma are being healed. Hurts are being uprooted from our hearts. Your Heavenly Father loves you so much He wants to heal your hearts. Jeremiah 8:22 (NKJV) “Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery for the health of the daughter of my people.” The balm of Gilead was an ointment made from the gum of a tree. This balm became symbolic of its power to soothe and heal. Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” I say to you, “It is a time of restoration for your heart and your family. We have entered a time of restoration and recompense. Restoration to your heart and restoration to your family. Many have been believing God for their families to be restored and God is saying to you, “I am doing this. I am answering your prayers. Prodigals will be coming home. Prepare for their arrival, I am bringing them home. Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, all who have been estranged, I am restoring you and your relationships will be stronger than before. I am healing hearts and healing relationships. I am bringing home the prodigals and you will watch as I fulfill their destinies right before your eyes. The wayward ones will get on My path for them and their lives will be turned around. I am healing hearts and bringing restoration and recompense.” Get ready for the prodigals to come home. Get ready for restoration and recompense. Be prepared for the wayward ones. Allow God to heal you of all hurt and trauma. Allow Him to bring restoration and recompense into your life. And as you do this, watch what He does for you and through you. Get ready people of God, He is healing you and restoring you!!!!! Get ready, the Prodigals are coming home, the wayward ones are coming back on path, your hearts are being healed and relationships restored. You are about to receive recompense. Put your hands out and receive healing and restoration of your heart and recompense. Watch for the wayward ones and the prodigals. You will see them return.

I AM In The Rattling… Look, Listen and Move10/19/2022  The Lord woke me up with a rattling sound. Like the sound of the tail of a Texas rattlesnake rattling. I asked Him what He wanted to say about this sound and this is what He said:
“I am getting your attention for what I am about to do. When you hear the snake as he rattles his tail, you pay attention and begin to look for where that sound is coming from. Then when you spot the place where it is coming from and you generally will move. This is not a warning sound, this is Me getting your attention with the sound of rattling so that you will listen and look. I am about to do something NEW AND OUT OF THE BOX. So look and listen and be ready to move. I am rattling My people, and awakening them to what I am about to do before I do it. It is time for you to move, to be My move. You are about to hear the dry bones rattle. This rattle is My attention getter. There is a shaking, rattling and awakening I am doing in and for My people. Get ready, get ready, get ready!!!! LOOK, LISTEN AND MOVE!!!” People of God, I love it. He is rattling us to attention. Why? Because He is ready to do something huge and He wants us to take Him out of the box. Get out of that OLD wineskin and get ready to receive the NEW. Matthew 9:17 (NKJV) “Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” Get out of those old wineskins. Get ready for the new wine. Ezekiel 37:7 (NKJV) “So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.” God is rattling to get our attention and He is rattling to wake us up. He is rattling so we will look, listen, pay attention and move. Revelation 3:6 (MSG) “Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches.” Isaiah 43:19a (NKJV) “Behold, I will do a new thing , now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it?” God is rattling to get our attention so we will KNOW it. It is past time we take God out of the box that we have put Him in. A lot of people want God to move a certain way, answer how we want the answer to come and God is wanting to move how He wants to and give us HIS answer. If we want God to move in our midst, let's make room for Him to move. People of God we are about to see the greatest move of God in the history of the Church. Let’s look and listen to God and move when He says move. It is time we BE the move of God. Let's stop waiting on the move of God, because He is always moving and let’s be the move and flow with Him. Let's perceive what He is going to do so that we can flow with Him. Listen for the rattle. Some of you are going to be rattled so much and shaken so much by the power of God that you will feel as though you have been electrocuted. You not only have to take God out of the box you have put Him in. You have to allow Him to rattle the cage open that you have been in. Get ready to be jolted out of your cage!!!!!! Your thinking is about to be changed. Your perception of God is about to be rattled and forever changed. Get ready, Get ready, He is on the move!!! It is time to shake, rattle and roll!!! This is not to condemn or make you feel guilty. This is to spur you on to MORE, spur you into what God is about to do. Spurs are used for directing a move forward. Ha, God is about to spur you!!! It is time to MOVE forward and be the Move!!!!

Listen…. I Am On the Move… Move with Me10/15/2022  I woke up one morning to the sound of beeping. It was the beeping you hear when a big piece of machinery is backing up. It is a warning to let you know the machine is in motion and about to back up. I began to seek the Lord on what He was saying to me, to us through this. I love who our Daddy God is and what He is up to.
He said to me, “I am moving things and putting things into motion. I am giving you the sound so that you are alert that things are about to move and be moved. Get ready!!! I am in the moving.” Some of you will feel as though the ground under you is moving, it is, because I am moving it so much that you take notice that it is time to move. It is a spiritual feeling under your feet. It is time to move out in faith and belief that I am with you and I am doing things. Just as you feel the ground move when a heavy piece of equipment moves, so you will feel Me when I am moving. Motion is happening, things are swirling, there is movement and I am in it. I am calling you to be My move. Don't sit any longer where you have been. I am on the move and as I am, so are you in this world. So get ready, when I move, I want you to move. I am moving things out of your way that have held you back. No more delay, let's go!” I love how God is giving us a beeping alert that something is about to happen. He is ready for us to take our position with Him and be as He is to the world. He is ready for us to be the move, to be His move. It is beyond time for us to be His hands, His feet and His voice to the world. It is time we speak up and give the world Jesus. Let's take Jesus to the world, to the streets. Let's get up, go out and go heal the sick, raise the dead and preach the Gospel. Let's resonate the love of Jesus everywhere we go. 1 John 4:17 (NKJV) “Love has been perfected among us in this, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the ends of the age.’” Amen. Are you willing to go where God tells you to go, do what He tells you to do and say what He tells you to say? Are you willing to be the move? I can be obedient and do what He says. But there is a total difference in being willing and obedient. Will you be both? God is telling us He is ready for us to be His move, are you ready to be that move? It is time to shift into radical faith because God is ready to do radical things for and through those who will believe radically. I have seen in my own life the more radical I believe God, the more radical the outcome. The more I allow Him to stretch me, the more my faith grows. The more I am willing to believe Him and move, the more He does. Allow Him to stretch you and to stretch your faith. There is growth in the stretching. We have entered an incredible time. And God is alerting us so that we will move when He moves and BE THE MOVE!!! Will you join Him and move when He does? Let's not miss out on the greatest time in history with God that is going on right now and let’s move with Him!!!!

Enter My Portal10/11/2022  I was awakened in the middle of the night by the Lord with a smell of Frankincense. Then I was awakened again in the morning with the same smell. Obviously God is trying to speak to us. So I began to ask Him what He was wanting to say to us.
As I sought Him on what He was saying He spoke these words to me. “I am opening a portal for My people and it is time to enter. It is time to enter into the realm of MORE. Close your eyes and come with ME into this NEW realm. Enter My portal. This may seem a little different to you, but I say to you I am in the different and the new. This realm is full of My glory, My new, My fire and Me. As you enter this portal I will take you into the greatest experiences of your life. I will take you into My realm of MORE where there is absolutely NO LIMIT. I am waiting for you to enter.” Psalms 78:23 (NLT) “But He commanded the skies to open; He opened the doors of heaven.” Revelation 4:1-2 (NLT) “Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.’ And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.” Many of you are going to have Throne Room experiences as you enter. God is ready, are you? Joel 2:28-29 (NLT) “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out My Spirit upon all people, your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out My Spirit even on servants—men and women alike.” Get ready people of God as you enter this portal and God's realm of more. You will be totally different. God is pouring out HIs Spirit upon us. Get ready for dreams and visions. Get ready for Throne Room Encounters. The time is NOW. Enter in Sons and Daughters of God and don't look back - Kairos!!!!! God is doing it NOW. The portal is open, close your eyes and enter in. Then, after you have entered the portal, live with your eyes wide open, because He is doing something different and new and He has chosen you to be a part of it. God will be showing you incredible things. Look and keep on looking. He is revealing MORE. He is taking you into His realm of MORE. God is saying today to you and me, “It is Kairos time. The portal is open. I am calling you to MORE! I am calling you into My Glory Realm. Enter in. You will be transformed. Trust Me and enter. I am pouring out My Spirit on all flesh. A shift is taking place for you. This is your KAIROS TIME. LET'S GO!!!!!” Who will go with God? Who will trust Him enough to enter? I am going into His portal, into His glory realm and into His place where there is absolutely NO LIMIT. Let’s go people of God. I refuse to miss out on anything God wants to give me. I want to go anywhere He wants to take me. I am ready for my Throne Room experiences, are you? Yes Lord Yes!!! We are entering with you. Let’s go!!!

Dive Deep with Me!!!9/29/2022  Recently the Lord has been waking me up with sounds. I wrote a blog about one and now I feel led to write about another.
The second sound the Lord woke me with was the sound of a person on a high dive hitting the water. It was a very loud sound. This is what the Lord said about this sound and the significance of it: “It is time to go deeper with Me. I am asking you to dive deeper with Me. It is time that you and I make a BIG splash together. I am taking you into deeper waters, a deeper realm with Me. I want you to go 'way beyond you’. There are greater things for you below the surface, greater treasures are in the deep. Trust Me and dive into the deep with ME.” Oh, the sound of the impact I heard when the person hit the water. It was such an impact and it made such an impact on me just hearing the sound. As we go deeper with God, we will make a greater impact to those around us and even in this nation. There are great treasures in the deep. We have to leave the surface in order to go deep. We have to jump into the deep. Psalms 42:7 (NKJV) “Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.” I want to share a personal story here. Several years ago my husband Jay and I were invited by a minister friend of ours to go to Cuba on a ministry trip. We agreed to go and on this trip. The Pastor and some others from the church wanted us to all go to the beach. Well, just for the record, Jay and I are more mountain people. Well, we did go. And at the beach everyone was going pretty far out in the water. I really wasn't comfortable going out into the deep. But I decided to go anyway. I had so much fun out in the deep. Had I given into the fear of going out into the deep, where I couldn't feel the bottom at all, I didn't even know how far down the bottom was, LOL. I truly went out way beyond my comfort zone. Oh, but I had so much fun out in the deep. My point in sharing this story is, I would have missed out on so much had I not gone out into the deep. But, because I was willing to go out into the deep, in spite of being uncomfortable and a little afraid of the deep, I had an incredible time and experienced something new. I would have missed out on so much fun and an incredible experience of being in the water in Cuba. I had to go out into the deep in spite of my feelings. God is wanting us to dive deep with Him. He wants us to JUMP into the deep. Not just step, but JUMP into the deep. Stepping doesn't make as big of an impact as it does when we jump. It is easier to step than it is to jump. Jumping requires more faith and trust in Him. When we jump from the high dive we will be entering the deep with God and a new adventure will begin. We won't be entering the normal we are used to because God is up to something NEW and wants to take us beyond us. Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV) “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth: shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Old ways are over. They will not be productive anymore. Church, God is calling us to lay down and walk away from the old and dive deep into the new with Him. Mark 2:22 (NKJV) “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins. The wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.” God is pouring out new wine. He is asking you and I to get rid of the old wineskins and get ready for the new wine. Dive into the new. Leave the old behind, climb to higher levels and JUMP into the deep with God. I heard the Lord say, “I have saved the best for last”. We are entering into a NEW season of NEW. We can choose to dive deep with God or stay in the shallow and miss out on the greatest move of God in history. I only speak for myself, but I am diving deep with God. We are on the verge of something absolutely incredible with God and I do not and will not miss out on one second of it. God is extending His hand to you and me to dive DEEP with Him. I am accepting. Will you? I wish I could totally convey to you in words what I am seeing, hearing and sensing from the Spirit of God. It is absolutely incredible. Church, we are just at the tip of it and God is saying, “Come on let's go deeper, let's go further in, let's go to the depths.” This is not small, this is huge. This will take absolute trust and faith in Daddy God. I am not saying this to scare you off. I am saying this to spur you on for MORE. Don't settle for the lower water levels, dive deep. There is so much more. I am about to explode with excitement as I write this. I can hardly contain my excitement. People of God, it is starting. The high dive is waiting for you. God is waiting for you to jump with Him. It is time to tear the old wineskins, get out of the old and dive. Drink of the new wine God is pouring out. Walk out of the old, embrace the new, go deep with Him, and drink the new wine!!! |
