Holy Spirit, I am tuning my ears to hear from you. There is not anything any better than connecting with the one who created me and knows me better than anyone. I experience divinity infused into my situations, into my mindsets when I take time to just listen. Holy Spirit is yearning to meet with each of us to share the Father’s heart and the love of Jesus!

I was meditating on this concept of listening and also remembering some very important milestones in my Kingdom walk recently; as I was remembering I became aware that I could have missed some very important assignments had I not quieted and settled myself to listen. This brought the fear of the LORD instantly to me. Now, this is a good response, for it keeps me seeking and desiring to hear everything he has for me! I do not want to miss one thing!

So, tune your ear to hear what the Spirit is saying to you his church! It is critical in this day as it was in every past generation and generations to come. We do not want to miss our day of visitation which I think can be everyday. God’s grace is beyond limitation; he is patient and is intimately aware of the different seasons of our lives, so there is no condemnation being put out here! He is faithful to woo us back into rhythm! What an amazing Father we have.

Yesterday, I was listening and Holy Spirit began speaking to me about going to India.

My grace is covering your family and yes, my blessings are abounding. More increase and power will overflow into service. Continue to be yielded in obedience to what I am saying to you. The plans are great and encompasses many things; deliverance from oppression, healing for their broken hearts, salvation for many who do not know me yet. I will stand and partner with you and Nate. I have great plans. Prepare your hearts for harvest; the fields in India are ready. They are ready for harvesting. The fields are likewise plowed, furrowed and ready for planting. Turn your ear to me. Listen to what I want you to do and where I want you to go. I have great plans. They are beginning to unfold; you are catching a glimpse of the future.

Wow! What an amazing word to hear from the LORD. His plans are always bigger than our expectations, always bigger than our resources. They stretch us in our faith!

We have been invited by a young Indian pastor to go next July to India. He is getting married then and would like for us to be there. He also has connections for ministry while we are there. We began praying about the possibility of going to India two years ago. The plans are becoming clearer to us lately. So, we press into the LORD for wisdom and direction about making this trip, and he is speaking Kingdom thoughts back to us.

Isaiah 42:5-9
This is what God the LORD says- He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people and life to those who walk on it. I the LORD, have called you in righteousness, I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the gentiles to open eyes that are blind to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being, I announce them to you.

This is a prophecy of the coming King of Kings and LORD of LORDs Jesus Christ by the prophet Isaiah. This was being proclaimed to bring hope to the people of Israel. The nation of Israel would suffer great persecution and captivity in their future. They would need a God that would sustain them through these very awful times. Isaiah was declaring God as their Creator and affirming his supremacy. He encourages Israel that they are not alone in their captivity, that He will take them by the hand. He who covenanted with their forefathers will also hold to this everlasting covenant with them. Many thousands of years later the same God is speaking this promise to us. Encouraging us to take what he has invested into our lives and give it away. I love being stretched, I love that his will is progressive and ever changing. Enlarging us as we say yes, we will go.

Isaiah 54:2-3
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
