My husband and I recently stood on the bay of the harbor in Boston and watched the many boats come and go. One small boat slowly passed by, very near where we stood, with the intriguing name "AUGUST GLORY" emblazoned on it's side. Something stirred in my spirit and I felt God was speaking through this prophetic sign. The name "August" in the dictionary means "marked by majestic dignity or grandeur". I believe the Lord wants to mark this month in a significant way with His majesty and grandeur. The King is arriving on the scene, and we will never be the same! "Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LO
God is doing a deep work in the hearts of His people right now. We are expecting the "new thing" at any moment, but He is intently working to create a place that can sustain His new works as they come into being. He is birthing a new thing in the earth, but first the house of our hearts must be made ready. The Lord reminded me of His encounter with the disciples recorded in Mark 8:17 & 18. Jesus had just fed the crowd of four thousand with seven loaves and a few small fish. Before that He had fed a crowd of five thousand with five loves, and both times there were leftovers! Very soon afterwards, the disciples must have been hungry and then realized they had only one loaf of bread. Jesus w
Recently the youth of our church played a big game of Tug-of-war in our church parking lot. Someone videoed the game and posted it on Instagram where I happened to see it. Watching their antics the Lord spoke to me and said, "This is happening right now. There is a Tug-of-war going on in the minds of God's people between the promises of God and the lies of the enemy." The battle is very intense right now for many people. We have crossed over only to find big, fat giants squatting on our land. Why should we be so surprised? Just like the Children of Israel who crossed the Jordan into their new land, we have entered into a new season of faith and deep reliance on the Lord to defeat our enemies
Recently the Lord said to me, "Call the midwives!" I knew it was a play on words from the title of the popular Netflix series, "Call the Midwife". The dictionary defines a midwife as a person who assists women in childbirth or one that helps to produce or bring forth something. There are specific times and seasons where God is birthing something new and this is one of those seasons. I meet with a team of prophetic intercessors and a repeated theme this past year has been one of "birthing". God is birthing something new in the church. God is birthing something new in our nation. God is birthing something new around the world. If you are like me, He is birthing something new in you as well.
