The Last Great Outpouring

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and was and is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

Behold, you stand on the threshold of a new day. For I have truly great things in store for you. Yes, you have not power to conceive what I am about to do. For I will bring to pass a new thing. You will rejoice exceedingly. You have heard of the showers, but I say to you: I will send a mighty downpour. Many have cried out to me from hungry hearts and received my fullness and seen My glory; but I say to you: In the day of great deluge which is coming, many will come to know the reality of my power who have until now not even dreamed of such a thing.

Many who are scoffer and who are honest doubters will find themselves swept away on the swelling tide of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. For this is the time of the last great outpouring. This is the day of preparation for the coming of the Lord. Many shall rejoice together in the Spirits work who are now at sword's point over doctrinal disputes and barriers of tradition.

But let your heart be encouraged; for a new day is dawning: a day of repentance and a day of gathering for My people. For they shall not continue to be barricaded and isolated behind walls of prejudice. I am the Lord, and I will be worshiped in Spirit and in truth, and not in the bigotry of sectarianism and narrowness of denominationalism. The world is waiting for a robust Church to minister to its needs; and how can an ailing, dismembered Body bring healing to a sick and dying world?

Surely I will pour out My Spirit, and by prophecies, by signs and wonders, but many different types of miracles, and by healings, I will reaffirm the veracity of My Word and bring the message of the Gospel of Redemption to many who would otherwise never give heed. I am the Alpha and Omega. Stand firm in Me. Never waver.

Be faithful regardless of apparent failures and discouragements; for My Word shall surely be fulfilled, and your eyes shall see revival in proportions such as never before witnessed in the history of the human race.

Keep your eye on the end of the course. Victory is secured already. Do not let the hurdles cause you consternation. Stay in the running. Truly, I am at your side. According to each day shall your strength be; and the race is not won by the swift, but the obedient shall receive the prize.

Come Away My Beloved

Taking a mental picture of a moment knowing that you will probably never get it back again in life. Taking the time to realize the beauty of each moment, and know that so often they only come once. They were some easy moments; some times they were really hard moments. But they defined me; they mark a time of change, a moment that will forever be a part of my memories.

Walking down the sidewalk with Matt, telling him about the World Race and what God was doing. Having him respond with “I want ‘my team’ here” but understanding why I need to go.

Blink.

Reading a letter from my dad with “I love you” at the bottom.

Blink.

Seeing a picture of Lillian and realizing in less than 2 months she will be in the world, wanting to protect her, but also let her see the world at the same time. Falling in love with something that is only a picture that I can hold right now.

Blink.

A text from Ashley that says I love you. If she only realized how much I needed that.

Blink.

Struggling to get a normal family picture whenever we go get them taken.

Blink.

When Dana came up to Birmingham for Taryn and Herbie’s wedding, shopping, going to the wedding, and running after. Realizing what a beautiful friend I have in her. A sister that God never gave me.

Blink.

Walking down the hallway at Cathedral with one of the Basement Crew; it doesn’t matter who it is, but talking just of life, of the unknowns, and faith in Christ. Never realizing how big of a thing we really are apart of, just focused on doing what we are supposed to do. But knowing that what we are doing is changing the world.

Blink.

Finding a bumper sticker that only Dana would understand and sending it to her.

Blink.

Hearing from an old friend and reconnecting, realizing I has just thought about her the day before.

Blink.

My first night at the dorms by myself, feeling so alone, not realizing what amazing friends were going to come from college.

Blink.

Struggling through my first semester at Southeastern, hating life, and having God do an amazing work in my life over that semester.

Blink.

Walking across the stage at graduation in 2005, pretty sure that Dad was going to light my gown on fire with the candle.

Blink.

Meeting Mercy, having her stay on my head all day, and wishing she could have been my own child.

Blink.

Walking on the jet way in Entebbe, saying do you realize that we’re in Africa now? I feel in love that day with a continent that will always be a part of my heart. And little did I realize how much a country would change me.

Blink.

Watching the sunrise after a day of being sick at Telling the Truth rescue unit. Its like God was painting a picture just for me that day.

Blink.

Breaking my arm on the well arm in Uganda, passing out, and the awful hospital visit.

Blink.

Hanging upside down in the car, deciding whether to give up right there, or fight. And deciding to fight.

Blink.

Talking with Jason for the first time about working at CrossPoint, and the moments that followed and the time I spent there.

Blink.


This will be updated later this week with more moments that are just like those posted and some pictures of those moments, but I wanted to get this put up.
