Hey Beloved,
I pray all finds you well. As I spent time with the Lord this morning I felt the Lord directing me to something that would very radical for us. I know this comes at the very last minute but I sense a strong urgency from the Lord. He first took me to Numbers 20:1-12 and all I could do was lay before and weep. I had to confess and repent. I have mentioned before that when we place our hope in man and man does not come through, our tendency is to become disappointed, disgusted, disillusioned, distressed and bitter. If I can be real for a minute, this is also happens when we place our hope and trust in our own abilities. For too long we have looked at our lack of instead of instead of His provision for. We have shifted blame from ourselves to others and from others to ourselves. This has kept us in the wilderness and going around the same mountain. It is time to come out and possess the promises and provision. After this rebuke from the Lord, He took me to Joel. I have read Joel many times before, but today was a Rhema experience as I read. There is so much in this short book that time will not permit in this brief letter to extrapolate. The verse among many that stood out was Joel 1:14 “Announce a time of fasting; call the people together for a solemn meeting. Bring the leaders and all the people of the land into the Temple of the LORD your God, and cry out to Him there.” So without belaboring the point I want to encourage all of you and whomever will come, to fast a meal or two today and join us this evening beginning at 6:30pm for a time of prayer as we seek and wait upon the Lord. I know this disrupts many plans you may have for this evening, but I believe in the urgency of this. I don’t know what area of life you are needing a break in, break out or breakthrough but lets stop talking about it and pursue it with relentless passion. If you have any questions, please feel free to read the rest of Joel and give me a call shoot me a text or email.
God Bless You.
