The Church is moving...

The Lord told me that the church is moving out of a place of defense into a place of offense.

WOW!!! I was definitely getting exhausted of the defense so I was really excited when He said

this to me. He showed me a couple of examples since I am simple and I like basketball. He

showed me that we remember the offense of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, not their defense.

The other thing he showed me was that even the guys that set on the bench the entire

season while a team won a championship ring, the people on the bench would still wear the

championship ring with pride because they were a part of the team. He also showed me that

being able to set up a pick for your team member and rejoice when he scores is critical. I love

the way the Lord communicates in the simple things, don't you? He also showed me that the

best teams work as one body and it is seemless the actions that they perform together as one.

The cool thing is we have the best COACH ever and HE has the plays for each of us and if

we listen to Him and do the simple, do the hard but do it together as one body, we win. And if

we win, HE WINS! A verse that the Lord showed me was Psalms 27:3 to help walk this out in

spite of the fear we may be experiencing in really recklessly running after HIM and

his "plays". Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will know no fear. Even if they

attack me, I remain confident. I think that as we pray and pursue, God will make one seemless

team out of the Houses of Prayer that are emerging all over this area - WE PRAISE YOU DADDY

COACH!!!! WE ADORE YOU!!!
