Claimed

Something is about to change VERY soon. I know we have all been thinking this for months now. But I think our idea of soon is starting to match God's idea of soon.

It's terrifying actually.

Recurrent words: space, abundance, enlarge, delivery, satisfy...

All these things we have been praying for, sobbing over, in utter despair because of...

God is moving in a mighty way. I sense it when I pray. I'm awoken from my sleep because of it. My tears are assuaged by soft whispers from God saying, "The time is now..."

See, it's scary to say all of this out loud. It's even scarier to publicize it. Because we are so scared of being disappointed. We are so scared to pray big prayers and rely on things not seen. Rely on the lack of evidence. To rely on a tiny seed that could so easily be dismissed.

But I wonder if God is waiting on us and not the other way around? Fascinating right?

I wonder if He is waiting for us to have that wild-eyed, run-through-crowds, climb-up-on-trees, challenge-unfair-judges, faith?

I wonder if He is waiting for us to just say, "I don't see it, I could be crazy, But I believe!"

So I say it, loud, purposefully and clear. I believe YOU are about to MOVE. I believe YOU are about to bring to delivery. I believe YOU are clearing a space for a reason. I believe YOU are freeing us to sit at the banquet table with You and enjoy a feast, not scraps.

I believe.

I claim April now. Against all odds. Against all the fears of disappointments or being wrong. I claim it two hours before the month begins.

Isaiah 66: 9

We are ready.
