[God has an amazing assignment for each of us here and now, and we may need to refocus our spiritual life so that we can carry it full term.]
One morning, while visiting my daughter, I was startled awake from a dream.
I saw this sentence unfolding word by word visually and audibly. The words pounded and reverberated in my head,
“If I place more power upon My church, she has to be able to carry it.”
The words penetrated my heart as I was overcome by His presence. I wept for the church and for my Lord.
My daughter was just home from the hospital after giving birth to her first child.
And I thought about how not all women carry their baby full term and how a great number of things can abort the precious gift from God before the time to deliver.
God wants to pour out His power in a greater measure, and the church is not able to carry such power. He wants to give us new assignments and gifts to accomplish his purposes in this time in history, right here and right now.
What does…
