What If

Can you imagine hanging out with someone who has been raised from the dead?

I am talking about someone who was dead lying on a mat with a white sheet over his head for 36 hours. Gone to heaven. But sent back to work for the Kingdom! 

Imagine a woman totally blind in one eye and without a left eye. Watch as the Lord heals her right eye..........she can now see with the eye that she has........but wait........He is doing more. Water is gushing out of the left socket........where an eye should be.......an eye is formed as you stand by and watch the miracle.  A woman leaves the meeting with 20/20 vision. 

Signs and wonders are happening in the midst of unbelievers. The mute leaves with a new song in their mouth.........The deaf now hear the mute ones "hallelujahs" ringing.......

Soon churches need to be built..........people are getting saved. Jesus has come to another village to heal, save, deliver.........

My friend was there.........she was a witness to these very miracles........

The resurrected man is her interpreter these days.........she and he work together to spread the gospel.

I have been hanging out with her recently. We were at a church.........a small church.......she taught about prayer.........I came away changed........It was like a spiritual eye was created for me........I believe at a whole new level.......

I wish you could have been there........I wish I had her words on cd..........I don't ever want to lose what I have gained.........

One thing she taught was that the disciples followed Jesus day and night..........they were witnesses to mighty wonders and incredible works of God but the thing that they asked Him was, "Lord, teach us to pray." (Luke 11, Matthew 6) They did not say, "Teach us how to heal, teach, etc.........." They asked for Him to teach them to pray.........

Prayer. It begins in a secret place.........alone........with Jesus.........Just lingering in His presence........leaving your list on the counter while you find a place on your knees.........and just come........to sit, to stare, to listen, to worship, to receive strategy, to bless, to know, to allow Him time to reveal..........

What do you suppose is on His heart today? Perhaps something that is on your list is on His heart........perhaps He just wants you to come.........just rest in His sweet presence.........

I had a vision of the Lord reaching out to embrace someone but they turned away.........they shunned the embrace........"Don't get too close, Lord.........." and "I don't dare get that close, Lord!".........were words they were saying as they turned away from Him.

It broke my heart.....Why do we push Him away?

We can only come away empty...............broken..........lonely..........

What if we ran into those arms and just lingered for awhile............

The One who can create an eye can take care of those things on our list.........

The One who still raises the dead can take care of those things..........

Nothing is impossible for God.........What if we really believed that?????

What would we see? Would we witness what missionaries are witnessing? 

Would we need to build more churches because so many are coming to Jesus needing a place to worship..........

There is a quiet place for all of us where we can meet our God. When we leave that holy chamber, we will be filled, we will see what He sees,  and we will have the power we need to change the world!

What if?

I intend to find out!

Blessings,
