As I reflect on the past year, I praise the Lord for His faithfulness and His presence. I have experienced a newness of His presence this year. And for that I am so grateful. It is very obvious that what the enemy meant for my destruction, God is using to do exceedingly more than all we could ask for or imagine. During this season I have experienced some of the greatest challenges and greatest blessings in my life. Two weeks ago, the Lord impressed on my heart that He is redigging the wells and digging new wells. I know this is happening in my life and in the lives of those who are walking closely with us. And to those people who are walking with us, I say thank you. You are helping to fill the bowls of heaven with prayers on my behalf.
It seems as if the Lord is taking us all deeper in Him. He is burning the chaff of unbelief and replacing it with the truth of God's Word. He is replacing the yeast of the Pharisees with the Promise of His Word, reminding us that His promises are "Yes" and "Amen". He is convicting us of unbelief based on what we have or have not experienced rather than believing His Word for what it says.
Well, today is my birthday and I want to take this opportunity to bless you. I bless you in Jesus' Name, with a new passion and desire for intimacy with Him. I bless you in Jesus' Name with dreams that are bigger than what you can accomplish on your own. I bless you in Jesus' Name with a daily sense of His presence and power at work in your life. I bless you in Jesus' Name with an intimate, personal, powerful relationship with the Holy Spirit. I bless you with such a thirst for Him that you can never get enough and always desire to be in His presence. I bless you and pray that the supernatural will become common in your life. Remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Be faithful. Stand firm. And see the glory of the Lord. Amen.
God bless you and have a wonderful New Year!

Just as you blessed us, I pray that God blessed you on your birthday and is continuing to bless you. We'll miss you tonite at prayer, but we continue to press in and wait for God's glory to be revealed! It's coming!
I must admit that I've been very frustrated at why you haven't been healed yet. But after reading your "Reflection" it makes perfect sense. I've never pressed in so much as I have for you, which in turn is drawing me closer to God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and creating in me things that I've never thought of or hoped for or even dreamed of. (Immeasurably more than all I could ask or imagine....)
As much as I wouldn't ask this on anyone, I thank God for taking what was meant for evil and bringing all kinds of good! Praise the LORD!!!
