Day 27

        So my day this morning started off getting to pray for two individuals who need real miracles.  I keep my phone on vibrate all the time, and it pretty much never leaves my side.  I am not a morning person AT ALL!  My kids have to be at school at 8:30 and I am not exaggerating when I say we roll out of bed at 7:45 just about every morning!  My phone began to buzz a little after 7am.  I heard it go off and sleepily I rolled over.  A friend and prayer partner sent me a text asking me to pray for miracles for two people. 
         Now I am just saying that my brain and my fingers are not at all coherent at 7am.  I do not understand how morning people do it.  I also love how my pastor takes that "seek the Lord early" scripture and tells us it's all good if you don't do it first thing in the morning, the point is to seek Him at all times and "early" in every situation, not necessarily early in the morning!  My brain doesn't really start working until after a big steamy cup of something warm and after about 9:30 or 10 am! The good news is that even when my flesh is not awake, my spirit was.  My spirit immediately began to rise up inside and pray for those two people, even though my eyes were still closed and that pillow felt so good.  My heart was to see God move even if I couldn't get my flesh to get out of bed at all!  After becoming coherent, my friend and I prayed together for her friends and I know that God is working on their behalf.  I haven't heard for sure yet, but it sounds like a good report for at least one of the people we prayed for this morning.  Glory to God!
          Here is an even better story, though.  I would've rather told this one first, but it isn't my story.  It is amazing though!  My friend was at a funeral this afternoon.  She saw a woman who was struggling to walk.  She asked her if it would be alright if she prayed for her. God touched the woman and she was healed.  After the funeral service she brought her sister over and asked if she would pray for her as well.  My friend prayed for the sister, God touched her AND SHE GOT HEALED!  People began lining up to receive prayer for healing at a funeral! REVIVAL BROKE OUT AT THE FUNERAL HOME!  That is how it is supposed to be when the Kingdom of Heaven invades earth!  It puts such a hunger inside of me to know God, to know His ways in greater and deeper detail, to know who He is, because He is SO GOOD that He will show up wherever someone is willing to step out in obedience and the result is many lives are touched! I cannot wait until the day where people are getting healed everywhere we go! 
          There is a song by the Newsboys that has a line in it, "Everywhere we go, that's where the party's at!"  That song used to sound so lame and arrogant to me; but now I get what they meant.  Everywhere we go there is the opportunity for Heaven to invade the Earth.
           Father, give me ears to hear You, eyes to see what You are doing.  Keep my heart humble before You and help me to be obedient to Your tiniest direction.  Release Your Kingdom upon the Earth that it may be as Jesus said, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, here on earth as it is in Heaven." I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen!
