And all Hell broke loose.

It's a familiar saying, isn't it? Something said flippantly to describe a bad day, an onslaught of unfortunate events, or the unleashing of someone's fury.

It's sad to me that Hell's Unleashing is such a common expression/expectation.

And I have to ask myself, what if All HEAVEN broke loose? What if?



And then the Holy spirit gently reminds me that that exact "sentiment" is mine to control. It's within my legal rights...my inherited authority...to call down heaven.

...on Earth, as it is in Heaven...

I want to be a carrier of the power and presence of Christ. This is my prayer...and my random thought for the day.

pitter patter....




I don't even know where to begin. I've tried to write this and then I stop. overwhelmed with how to even put to words the things that I'm thinking.

I've written and deleted. written and deleted. But how do you adequately talk about the things of the Lord?



Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain.

Before it rains, you can smell it. At least I can. But that's nothing in comparison to when it rains. Because then you can feel it.

And that's where I am. in the midst of FEELING it.

.....
Something has shifted in the spiritual atmosphere. Have you noticed it? It's like the Lord has striped away yet another layer between us and the unseen realm. Because I'm seeing more. hearing more. noticing more.

to the extent that I'm not even sure where to begin, how to document it, or if it's even possible to find the words to describe.



(This was written in March. I had forgotten that this onslaught started at the beginning of the year. Amazing how time flies when you're getting pelted by heaven.

And no, my plan isn't to keep writing about how I don't know how to write...but I just figure I have to start somewhere. And so, I start by backing up.

because honestly, I REALLY am at a loss as to what to say or how to say it. Yet I feel I'm to start trying...)

A fly on the wall of Heaven.

I've sat down to write a few times over the last months. I've been asked by some readers when I'll start back. and I've been told by one friend, who knows a portion of what's been going on, that I really need to publish the things that are happening because they could minister and inspire so many.




Yet. I can't get around the fact that the kinds of things that have been happening just can't be fully recorded. That is, not if you're going to full relish in the moment.



...This morning as Raquel and I snuggled together, I couldn't help but to be completely overwhelmed with how adorable she was being. the way her mouth was moving to try out new sounds. the way she looked up at me. the way she kept touching my nose with her pointer finger as she lay there.

And I have to admit, I was tempted to get the video camera out so I could record that sweet, sweet moment in time. to replay it over and over again years from now.

But I knew once the camera came out, it'd lost the authenticity of the moment. It'd run the risk of taking on the role of paparazzi and reporter, sacrificing my ability to be a participant. forfeiting my chance to truly interact in the moment.


And that's what these past 6 months have been like.

While I've been so tempted to jump on the computer and take note of all that's happening in my life and relationship with Jesus, I know that once I step back to record, I'd actually miss the depth of the intention of God.




I told one friend it's been like I've been standing on the edge of Heaven. allowed to hear and watch some of what's going on. Every day it's been something new. Another challenge. Another insight. Another moment of bondage being broken.

I've seen angels and demons. I've physically felt the sting of spiritual warfare. I've been completely overwhelmed with the outpouring of Heavenly insight and new direction. etc etc etc.

In a word, it's been OVERWHELMING. In the best best best possible way.

And yes, I do hope to share soon. But for now, I wanted to tell you where I've been --> a fly on the wall of Heaven, desperately trying to interact, not document.
