SILENCE and PRESENCE

Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: Since May 8th I have been traveling through a devotional (my 4th time) on the Disciplines of the Inner Life...(now you know why it is time 4, some of us take a bit more persuasion :) anyhow....the past two weeks the discipline has been silence. Now I have spent 2 weeks in Houston with 40 people, crying, singing, praying, seeking....NONE IN SILENCE....so I figured I really missed the discipline....today as I reflected it became clear to me that silence is not about my mouth as much as my heart. Words can never fully express the deepest longings of my heart for His presence....it always alludes verbal description....however during these 2 weeks, He has listened so intently to the silent pleas of my spirit to know Him more.....so quiet I did not realize the power of the communion until I reflect on the experiece of His presence.
Often I have associated silence with lonliness....how wrong.....silence is BEING ....being IN and WITH my beloved...even when my mouth is yacking......hahahahah....how do I know??? I know because the peace that passes all understanding, the joy that is inexpressible and the abundant life is keeping me day by day.
Lord help me to be silent to hear you, loud to praise you and faithful to satisfy ALL your desires ....I love you di

WORLD CHANGERS

Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: OK OK OK...so it has been a REALLY LONG time since I did this...thanks to Kenny, I will try to be more faithful, since the blog is on the PNEUMA website....and that is SO exciting....however NOT the topic for tonite......
IN 1997 I read the "Coming Revival" by Bill Bright....I was HOOKED....I began the journey that Bill Bright took and brought millions of other with him...fasting, praying, fasting, praying did I say FASTING and PRAYING...OK....cause that is IT.....millions have been crying out and seeking the Lord to come and visit us again.......WELL HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU....HE IS HERE......tonite I had a brief glimpse of Him making Himself known to some very HUNGRY and THIRSTY young people.......devoted followers who became dissatisfied and wanted MORE....and they did not let go until HE came and met with them. Through worship and prayer....YEP that is how it happens......
WHEW>>>we have begun an amazing journey....filled with lots of messy stuff....that is what revival is MESSY....but the clean up and SHINE after is worth it all......so if you by chance read this.....GET READY......GOD IS ANSWERING ALL THOSE PRAYERS AND FASTING AND WE AREN'T REALLY ON THE TRACK YET..BUT HANG ON IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT RIDE....

COME LORD JESUS COME
