Sundays Prophesy. What is God’s heartbeat inside you?

“I see a brighter light in you these days.  It’s me.  Thank you for giving me more purpose in your life… more intention in your thoughts about what you want to be about and who you want to become.  You seek my glory and purpose before your own.  I have noticed.  I am putting a greater hunger and faith within you of spreading the good news of proclaiming my name.  Everything else are distant seconds and distractions.  I am a jealous God and my plans are to work through you and my children of light.  These are the last days and it’s past time of stepping into the deeper waters of my faith and truth.  My Word.  My Spirit.  My Word!  Be loud in your proclamation of Who I am and why I Am.  I love you. I have come for you and all my children.  Be Humble!”

I want you to know today that God sees you.  God notices.  He is on the front row of your life. Pause with him and for Him.  Praise him in your peace.  Praise Him in your trials. Talk to him about how he can use you…where you are. ..even in the middle of you muck and mess. 

I sense something new is happening in my spirit.  I know much is happening in the world today.  The political list is long and foreboding.  The list of wars have gone beyond rumors of war but I know God is not surprised.  I know two things are yet to be.  There will come yet, a great revival.  And that things will also get worse.  I am not even sure I completely understand this sense or feeling I have inside that something is up.  No, not even what else will happen in the world but that God seems to be ready to move in a new way.  Maybe it’s just me.  I know He is always moving across the breath of our land…but something is happening in the spirit.  Something is stirring in me that is new and upcoming…
and I just know its God.

Yesterday our church, Grace Family, baptized some 700 + people on the beach.  
But as excited as I am for our community and these families, that is not it.  According to Joel 2:28-32, God is going to pour out His Spirit on all mankind and their sons and daughters would prophesy, old men would dream dreams, young men would see visions, and even male and female servants would have the Holy Sprit poured out on them.  That is the scripture that comes to mind today.  
What does that mean to us today?  It means the Holy Spirit, promises , he will empower us to be witnesses to Christ’s presence among us… and to His message…His gospel: The forgiveness of sins.

What does that say to you?  What does that stir within you?  

Have you felt in some measure that his Holy Spirit has been nudging at you to up your game?  
To give more of yourself over to God and his purposes for his glory?  Is what I’m writing today just another devotional to make him a priority in your day, or might it be something more for you?  
I would like to know if something more has been stirring in you too.  
Please send me a note and share what you’re feeling or sensing. 

I know that God is faithful.  I know that his outpourings are bountiful, overflowing and without measure. Joel 3:  Prophesy of the latter days, affirms that every country in the world will be at war shortly before the Second Coming. But the Lord WILL dwell with His people when He comes again.

What is the heartbeat of God in you lately?  Do you find yourself pressing into to more of Him? Is there this inner hunger for God and his word stirring up inside?  Hating things that God hates is not enough.  It just not!  We must love people.  He says that to the church at Ephesus. Rev 2: 4-6  You hate what I hate but you have left your first love.  I too hate abortion, I hate what the world has done to the sacredness of biblical marriage and this social war of transgenderism, but how have we become more obsessed with who will be our next president and the political landscape than winning the lost for Jesus? 

We want things to go back to normal and Covid to end!. We want more of our old traditional family values restored. We want a better quality of life for ourselves and our children’s children and those are all good things.  But somehow, we have forgotten that this life is not all there is.  
All of us are going to die but then will come God’s judgement.  Heb 9:27
This is why Jesus died.  And one day soon that will matter to every human being on this planet
regardless of what language they speak. 

Good works are important, the gifts of the spirit are important.  Understanding the end times is important. Godly living is important.  But God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son… FOR SINNERS!  So what is stirring in your hearts today?
Our first love must always be the gospel and seeing the lost come to Christ.  
There must be no distraction from that being your first love…for the love of Jesus and then loving thy neighbor as yourself.  Where will you…and they spend eternity?  
Our priorities have been distracted and out of focus for too long. 

I feel something new happening inside me.  I know the Holy Spirit put it there.  I have often been inspired, encouraged and motivated by people near me who propelled me by what they did and said to a new level.  If you don’t feel what I feel. But perhaps by the spirits leading I have lit a small fire inside you to what has been shared today.  The prophesy said.  He notices… and he is putting a greater measure of faith and hunger in you to spread the good news.  
I pray you make this word your own and let it ignite a great fire inside of you and yours.
