The Lord
is teaching us to navigate waters over our heads, resting in Him,
dear Heartdwellers.
And last
night, when I came into prayer, I had an experience with the Lord
involving the armor of God, and putting on the armor of God before we
pray, which a dear friend and prayer partner has shared with me and
an experience she had.
And I was
waiting on the Lord for a confirmation, so that I could share it with
you. And He confirmed it. So that's what I'm working on right now,
and hope to have it done by tonight. And afterwards I came to sit
down and talk to you. I asked the Lord what was on His heart and He
began describing the armor of God and the purpose of each piece. And
I didn't get a chance to finish it.
But I do have
something that I want to share with you tonight, from Lana Vawser.
And I will be putting up the Armor of God message, God willing! Later
on for tomorrow. But I wanted you to have something today, because
this truly is going on in the Body of Christ right now. And her
message is a true confirmation.
So, this is
from Lana Vawser:
"This
morning as I sat just being with the Lord, I was prompted to turn on
the song 'In Over My Head' by Jenn Johnson (Bethel Music). As the
words played and I saw where situations have been 'crashing upon'
God's people over and over, the Lord was now coming to 'crash in over
His people' to catapult them into the most beautiful 'in over their
head' places of peace, joy, freedom, strength and stability in His
presence.
"You
crash over me, I'm right where you want me to be, I am going under,
I'm in over my head. Whether I sink, whether I swim, it makes no
difference when I'm beautifully in over my head.." (In Over My
Head Lyrics - Jenn Johnson - Bethel Music)
"There is
a breaker anointing that the Lord is releasing right now that is
breaking the pressure and heaviness of the situations that have
crashed upon you. He is going to suddenly catapult you into a deeper
place of knowing His peace, His covering, that He's got this, and you
are completely SAFE and SECURE in His presence.
"This
season has seen many in the body of Christ moving into unfamiliar
territory. Places they have never been before and there hasn't been
much "direction" in the natural in knowing how to navigate
this new place but just the continual deep sense of the heart of God
calling out to TRUST Him even when you feel like you are walking
blindly.
"I saw
many you continually following Him deeper and deeper into unknown
places. Moving into places you haven't been before but you can feel
the drawing of His Spirit to come and walk out on the water and trust
even when you don't know where He's leading or what He's doing. The
hunger and desperation to have more of Him and all He has for you has
kept you moving forward even when the giants have raised up their
ugly heads and have been screaming and intimidating you more in this
season than ever before."
Clare: Boy! Don't we
all know THAT one!
Lana: "Your
radical ABANDONMENT to Him, is not only going to see the greatest
promotion of your life and breakthrough explode into your life that
you have ever experienced, but there is a gloriously beautiful level
of intimacy with Jesus that you are about to enter into.
"This new
level of intimacy with Jesus was so beautiful. There was so much
life, there was so much joy, so much stability, peace and accuracy in
HEARING from Him and knowing His heart. There was a GIDDINESS of JOY
and excitement bubbling up in hearts. This level of intimacy was the
answer to the radical hunger that many have been experiencing to just
know Him deeper than ever before.
"The
DOORWAY to this new level of intimacy was that place of being "IN
OVER YOUR HEAD". The place of relinquishing any control
completely to Him. It was a level of surrender that says what Jenn
Johnson so beautifully sings in this song 'Whether I sink, whether I
swim, it makes no difference when I'm beautifully in over my head...'
It was in the 'letting go' that the 'cares' were going to suddenly
fall away and the burning convicting revelation of His goodness and
that you are HELD by Him, you are SAFE in Him and what is before you,
even though you don't see it or understand what He is doing.. IT IS
GLORIOUSLY GOOD and BETTER than you have ever dreamt (Ephesians
3:20). In the 'letting go' the cares will fall away and in the 'in
over your head' in His presence, the deep, deep trust and letting go,
you are being positioned for one of the greatest catapults into your
promised land."
Clare: Wow, guys. And
just as an aside here from Lana. All the dreams that you have. You
know what we've been talking about and the Lord's been saying - bring
up your dreams, those hidden things from childhood or adolescence.
Dreams of things that you wanted to do. Yeah. Bring those up. And
that's what He's getting ready to do with us.
Lana: "There is
a HUGE door of the NEW before you, but to enter it requires your
complete 'YES' of trust. In this NEW door before you, in this place
of 'letting go' and 'relinquishing control' He is going to show you
again, His faithfulness, His extravagant provision, His strength, His
alignment, His promotion, His favor, His healing and His goodness and
never-ending, mind-blowing kindness. You are going to be IN OVER YOUR
HEAD at the GOODNESS and KINDNESS OF JESUS!
"Many of
you have been looking at the feeling of being 'out of control' and
not knowing what's going on as a bad thing. The Lord is shifting your
focus. In your LETTING GO, your place of DEEP TRUST you are moving
into a level of freedom you have NEVER known, a place of JOY you have
never known, and in that 'in over your head place' you will receive
exactly what you need in a MOMENT to carry you in and through the
catapult into your promised land.
"The
'letting go' will build such a deep strength in you of who Jesus in,
that when you move into your promised land and the giants rise up and
scream, you will not be moved, you won't be intimidated, confused or
shrink back in fear, but move forward with conviction and resolve and
overcome them by the power of His Spirit with greater ease than ever
before."
And that's the
message from Lana Vawser.
I just wanted
to share that with you. The Lord bless you, Heartdwellers. I'm going
to go back to working on the full Armor of God and get it out to you
as soon as it's done. Pray behind me, because I really want to get
everything the Lord has for us.
And I wanted
to share with you - Ezekiel is doing really well with his music. He's
got a new song that he's working on. He's going to take a little time
to finish it, but when he does, we'll get it up to you.
Thank you for
praying for us, and thank you so much for your support. It makes it
possible for us to be here for you, totally, 100% of the time, with
our heart off of the distractions of the world.
The Lord bless
you, Dear Ones.
