Who would have thought a monday morning could be so grand

God is battling for me right now. I think I've been overwhelmed by the powers of the world for a long time, so long that I forgot there was a war and I forgot I wasn't alone. I didn't do it on purpose. I just got distracted by all the fighting. Driving to work today was surreal. The wind was blowing so hard that there was about ten percent visibility. I found myself once again wondering if it resembled the spiritual world at all. Is that a small glimpse of what rages around us each day? I don't know but, it is strange to not be able to see the road at 10:00 in the morning. Now, I'm not a prophet, I'm hardly a teacher and I'm certainly not a regular exerciser in the spiritual gifts God has given me BUT I do know that something is brewing. Why is the snow so crazy outside? It knows that its time is up. Its got to give it all its got before its gone for months and disappears. I think God's enemies know that as well. God's church is emerging. His body is shaking off the dust of sitting motionless in long pews of wood. His members are coming together, exercising, learning how to live and grow and pray again. Learning how to love not one alone but all together. A force far stronger than any 40 mile per hour winds. The seasons are changing in my life and in so many lives around me. We are hungry and will no longer settle for more entertainment, more stuff or more distraction to temporarily satisfy us. God may your will be done on this earth just as it is done in heaven. May all authority and rule be restored to your name and your kingdom be established. Let no person remain that has not heard your truth, experienced your love and bowed to worship you. Surrender. Don't battle alone. Find fellow warriors and take up the sword again. If you won't do it for yourself then do it for those waiting to know what real love is.
