So, I recently got back involved in The Well at PIHOP. After about a year break, I came back and started ministering to the men and women of God who come to our home on Saturday nights. It has been amazing to see what fruits have come in my life from just getting back in the action.
In the two weeks since I have been back, I have been caught off guard by the onslaught of prophetic visions, words and songs that have come…outside of The Well. Every time I turn around it seems that the Lord is speaking again. The Lord wants and even needs to speak to His people. And because I have inclined my ear to listen, He is beginning to speak regardless of the context.
It reminds me a bit of having car trouble. Stick with me for just a moment. You know that moment when you feel that your car is starting to “behave” differently. Maybe it is the way that it shifts, or a hesitation when it accelerates. It is often in those moments that we begin to notice a change in the noise the car makes. We are positioning ourselves to hear.
That is what the past few weeks have been like. I have put myself in a position to listen again, and it is amazing what I have been hearing. One story that brings my heart a lot of joy is the story of “Tom.” Tom and I have been good friends for many years, and the Lord has used the prophetic over and over again at key times in our friendship.
We are currently separated by about as many miles as is possible in the continental U.S. I am here in Pasadena, and Tom is in Maine. Over the course of three days, the Lord gave me two visions for him, and I sent them to him via text. He and I talked about and processed them on the phone last night and Tom has finally seen what a few men and women of God had known about him for years…he was called to serve the men of women God as a pastor.
Tom had always fought the idea being a “pastor” because he has know desire to preach. He finally realized that his calling is to work with those who have sexual addictions. He wants to see people set free. And it took the prophetic word of God to reach him and awaked his heart to the reality of his calling.
And the beautiful part of this, is God is speaking through many of you in the same ways. God is using you to call forth a generation of worshipers, ministers, deliverers, prophets, teachers, worship leaders, dancers, etc. I look forward to hearing that you are seeing the same things happen in your life. The power of life (and death) is in your tongue as you speak forth God’s revelatory word men and women are able to finally understand and walk forth into their callings. And that is an amazing thing.
