God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
Don’t throw me out with the trash,
or fail to breathe holiness in me.
Bring me back from gray exile,
put a fresh wind in my sails!
-Psalm 51:10-12 (The Message)
I believe God is getting ready to do something here at Tallowood and beyond. Why do I believe this? I believe this because I can already see evidence of the Holy Spirit stirring.
In his Times article last week, Dr. Brooks shared the burden that the executive staff has for renewal and for calling God’s people to prayer. This has been my burden as well and I have been praying to that end.
This morning, I met with to ministry friends to share and pray together. One of these ladies shared how God had diagnosed the deadness in her life and began to change her. She shared God’s work with her family which in turn has lead to the beginning of healing and change in her family. At the same time, the executive staff at her church has also been burdened with a need for renewal.
The Spirit is moving! Dr. Brooks has suggested “that this summer be a time of setting our sails in hopes that God might breathe a mighty rushing wind upon His people. Will you join us in praying for God to pour out His Spirit? Let’s prepare our hearts this week, this month, this summer and wait expectantly on our knees.
