After writing in my blog last night I had an experience with the Lord that I felt I should blog about as well. If you read the last blog you'll appreciate this experience.

I went to bed last night and was fast asleep when I was awakened by a knock on the wall above my bed.  It sounded as if someone was outside my house and knocked hard on the wall above my head.  I have been awakened like this before and the Lord has always had something profound to show me or tell me.

So I knew when I heard the knock the Lord wanted me to wake up.  I looked over at the clock to see what time it was because He has spoken to me through the time on the clock before. The clock said 12:25 am.

My first thought was the time represented December 25th and that maybe the Lord wanted to tell me something about Christmas.  So I asked the Lord what He was saying and I felt He said to look at Hebrews 12:25, "So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking [to you now]. For if they [the Israelites] did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him Who warned and divinely instructed them here on earth [revealing with heavenly warnings His will], how much less shall we escape if we reject and turn our backs on Him Who cautions and admonishes us from heaven?

After reading this scripture I knew the Lord was confirming to me what I had written earlier that night in my blog.  We must turn and position ourselves so that God can bless us and we can escape the consequences of our actions.

Sorry it's been a long time since I last posted here, however, I've been about the Father's business else where.  I wanted to take a few minutes and just jot down some of my thoughts so I hope you'll give me grace for that.

This year has been an amazing year, so much has transpired and yet I feel there'll be so much more to come.  I feel the Spirit moving in so many ways the urgency inside my spirit continues to grow larger and larger until some days I find myself crying out for the Lord to break through and reveal Himself completely!  I find myself continually frustrated. Not out of being in the wrong place but out of knowing God is moving in the earth but feeling the need to push Him a little to make Him move faster. I know, I can't push God!

At times I feel my spirit will explode with His goodness and yet I still see so much anguish and heart ache all  around me.  This frustration seems to center around the next move of God and how it'll be manifested in the earth as well as in my life.  I feel revival is already here, many are turning their lives around and following fast after God, but then I see so many who are struggling with the very foundations of their beliefs because of injustice, heart ache, broken relationships, and not having a clear understanding what God's doing in this move.

I don't know if anyone can fully understand what God's doing and where He's taking us as a body of believers, but what I do know is I don't have to understand it.  He's in control and He knows right where we are individually.  He's very aware of our struggle, of our lack of understanding, and it doesn't hinder His movement in any way.  One of the things He continues to remind me on so many levels is the nature of my part in His movement.  My part is only to OBEY!  Nothing more, nothing less.  I'm continually reminded of the way Jesus obeyed the Father when He was here. He did nothing apart from the Father, (John 8:28, 5:19) He only did what He saw the Father doing.

So what's the Father doing today? Romans 4:17 says He's calling those things that are not as though they already existed.  I believe this is what He was doing when Jesus was here on the earth and I believe He's still doing it today. He did it for Abraham and He's doing it for you and me.

So what should we be doing?  Calling those things that are not as though they already exist in our own lives as well as in the lives of others.  We need to be calling our country back to who God created it to be, calling our leaders to who God says they are, and calling our families, friends, and neighbors to who God created them to be.

Part of my frustration is the urgency I feel for this country to turn back to God.  Our leaders have made some grave decisions that have postured this country in a position of having our backs to the very One who brought us to this land and gave us the freedom to create a nation under God and for the people.

Unfortunately we can't entirely blame the leaders, after all we're the ones who voted them into office in the first place and we're the ones feeling the consequences of that action. It's our job to stand in a place of repentance and turn our hearts back to the Father and pray for mercy.  It's also our job to seek out truth and life in every place even in our voting in November.

This election isn't about a man it's about truth and life.  It's not about who's right and who's wrong it's about life and death. (and I'm not talking about pro choice or pro life)  Jesus didn't come to judge the world, He came to bring life. (John 5:24)

As we decide who we'll vote for in the coming election we need to explore our values and morals, the places we see life and death.  Our standard should not come from a party or a man but should come from the written Word of God.  If the Bible is our standard to measure against those running for the highest office in our government we should be able to put aside parties and men and what they do or don't do and vote accordingly.

We're not electing a pastor, we're electing an administrator who will facilitate our morals, values, and beliefs and bring life back into this country.  Life comes from God, no where else!  If we vote according to what brings life the decision will be clear.

I urge each and everyone who reads this blog to get on their knees and pray for this country, pray for your own hearts, and pray for mercy.  We have turned our backs on God and we must stand in a place of repentance and turn back to Him our only source.  This should be our only posture in this urgent time and as we position ourselves toward Him, He promises us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 He will heal our land.  It's time to position ourselves!
