This is my tribe….. I cannot recount all the incredible ways in which I’ve seen God move in the last year in Spirit-abiding, in comfort-giving, in provision-making, in protection-covering, in promise-keeping, in vision-giving, in faith-building, in love-enlarging, in wall-smashing, in territory-expanding, in demon-outcasting, in prayer-answering, in intercession-making, in soul-lifting, in mind-renewing, in will-strengthening, in conscience-sharpening, in ear-tuning, in eye-opening, in heart-softening, in hunger-filling, in power-wielding, in home-welcoming, in relationship-healing, in hope-fulfilling, in grace-granting, in truth-telling, in peace-making, in perseverance-maintaining, and in mercy-flowing to, through, and among his people. #calledblessed
Noted and Saved from 9/27/2020:
“We got tired of the rigors of religion….
We were dead, backslidden and disinterested in the business and busy-ness of church. We called ourselves Baptists or Methodists. We were Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Catholics, or some other brand-name Christian. We had become buried in the death of such orchestrated religions and finally got fed-up.
We went AWOL and abdicated our denominational traditions and became wild. We broke ranks and got out of our box. We often ran past rhyme and reason. We kicked over sacred cows, busted the boundaries and customs and traditions that years and years of grandmaw and grandpaw church-going and church-teaching had molded us into. The pendulum may have swung too far the other way, but we got free from long held bondages.
This was the scenario that resulted in a great Waking Up among hungry Believers in all quadrants of our nation’s culture. Church was never the “same” again. There was a freshness and rejuvenation in our pursuit of Real Uncluttered Church. God emerged as Personal and Real and became Engaged in our everyday living. Praying was a constant informal conversation with Jesus and praise was spontaneous…. Joy had come once again!
It changed everything.
And today in the midst of our nation-wide mess, a Bigger One is on the way. In all the restraints and restrictions placed on us, the Break Out is at hand. We will never return to the “normal” we once knew…. Something Better is knocking at the door. It is a New Day. A New Season. A Contemporary Reformation is under way and hell is nervous. Demons are demonstrating. Heavenly Hosts are On Alert and mustering for a Great Appearance. Get ready.
Time is short.”
Good word from Dick Braswell
