Another Strategy to Break Through!

If there are times when you don't know what to do to get a break through, keep reading.

You probably have done all the regular things you know to do; like pleading the blood of Jesus over you and repenting of any sin you are aware of.  If you still don't hear anything, then may I suggest that you 'offer yourself a living sacrifice' to him? (ref. Rom. 12:1-2)

Let me explain...  When there's a cloud around me and it's hard to hear, I picture myself climbing on a huge alter and laying down.  Then I give my ideas, my mindsets, my interpretations of visions, all my past experiences etc. to  the Lord.  Sometimes this takes a while.  Then I ask Holy Spirit to bring to my remembrance anything that is getting in the way of our relationship.  He's so faithful to show me!  Hallelujah!  He wants this for us. 

God always shows up when there's a sacrifice on the alter--always!   He's no respecter of persons either.  What he's done for me He'll do for you.

This is another key that God has helped me use to get corporate break through at church.  It usually only takes one person to visit heaven and if they decree that everyone gets touched by heaven then they will.   There is so much power in our words.

When I claim Holy Spirit's presence around me he shows up!  When I don't claim it.... he sometimes doesn't. When I release the glory that's inside of me people get touched wherever I am.

Therefore I want to encourage you to use your words on purpose. Say what you want to see out loud and expect Heaven to move in.  Truly we have not because we ask not!

I bless you with more of His presence today and more of his boldness. Amen!

Can Dead Bones Live, Lord?

"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place." (2Chron. 7:13-15)

I have always loved these verses.  God gave me such a passion and a zeal for the things of God that I wondered at times why he moved me to the Ottawa valley.  I asked God "Why?"

He responded, "You are my catalyst here."   Hmmm, I am not sure if that was a good thing or not. I have ruffled a few feathers, raised a few eyebrows etc., etc.  and generally challenged the status quo over the years.

I was very encouraged when the Lord gave me this song, I even got to sing it at my church (my old church). The only problem was they didn't like it.  Oh well, it's still a good song.  My husband thought it was because they assumed they were the dead bones my song was talking about. In my naivety I never even thought about that possibility.  Oops!

Anyhow, I figured the song out on the keyboard and had some fun with the vocals. Enjoy!
