Toppling Idols
One morning, the Lord awakened me to the song Endless Alleluia, and a vision of idols toppling to the ground on their faces. He spoke to me about how so often we try to “fix” our “problem” somehow on our own, as if our willpower is strong enough. It’s not, of course. You and IContinue reading “Toppling Idols”
Take Our Breath Away
This morning, the Lord awakened me to a vision of a dancing fountain. I saw how beautiful we are together in Him, as His Spirit moves us this way and that. Then, as a powerful burst of water spurted high into the sky, onlookers stopped and stared. Lord, take our breath away. Dance to theContinue reading “Take Our Breath Away”
The Great Invitation
As we came up on our one-year anniversary of the Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge, “Go higher…. Press deeper…. Push further…. Higher up….” Awakening. The Great Invitation. NotContinue reading “The Great Invitation”
Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80
O Lord, we have wandered so far from You, each one to our own ways, and we have brought destruction down upon ourselves because of our waywardness.

WeContinue reading “Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80”

Closer than Your Breath
When I asked the Lord what to share with you today, this is what I felt Him say: Turn around. Step into Me.I am with you. Always have been. Always will be. I never left you. It is you who have wandered from My touch. What are you looking at with those hungry eyes, if it’sContinue reading “Closer than Your Breath”
Song for the Bride
The closer I grow to Christ, the more He amazes me with His intimate, relentless, breathtakingly beautiful pursuit of His bride. During my quiet time one day, He sang this over her. Sharing this with you, because … you are … His bride…. “O, My bride,Long have I longed for you.Long have I called toContinue reading “Song for the Bride”
Know What You’re Fighting For
Lord, remind us what this battle is for, that it’s not for things to go my way, for me to feel comfortable, or for others to agree with me. This war is for oneness with You, and many times it’s the trials that make me lean on You all the more. Teach me to rejoiceContinue reading “Know What You’re Fighting For”
