Drip...Drip...Drip

No one can write a book about disturbed sleep without devoting a page to the proverbial leaky faucet...or whatever else goes "clang...toot...or drip" in the night.

There's a saying that goes, "It's not the log in the road that slows you down, it's the pebble in your shoe." This principle also applies to sleep. It's not always the worst crises that will keep you awake, but sometimes the neighbor's dog.

But whatever the annoyance is, it can be turned around for God's glory. How? In His Word He promises that He is our "fortress" and our "refuge." What does this mean? It means that there is a special place, deep within your heart, where you can retreat from all the distractions and be only with Him. It's His secret "dwelling place" where no disturbances are allowed.

As the Psalmist tells us, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust" (Psalm 91:1-2, NKJV).

The Prophetic Initiative : What Wants To Emerge

The Spirit intricately ties the shape of the future to those who cooperate with Him to bring it to pass. They have the ability to influence and shape the future because they know what wants to emerge because of what the Spirit has revealed to them. 

The Spirit discloses the things that are to come, the things that want to emerge. It takes a company of influencers who can combine what they see, by the Spirit, what wants to emerge with words that captivate hearts to join in the ushering in of a day and an hour of new wine for the 21st century. I have something absolutely important and exciting to share with you. I urge you to prayerfully approach what you are about to read.

In every generation the hand of the Lord moves on some to move the heart of nations. They have a desire to be a redemptive influence in large sectors of the culture. They carry an intense passion for His glory, and have been moving His heart in the secret place long before their public appearing. They have learned how to feed on “honey from the rock". The meat is to do the will of the One Who authorizes and sends them.
