Meaning of movement: a change or development.

We located 24 verses in the Bible that speak of movement. 

These words have been twirling in my head for weeks… 

Movement, revival, revolution.. what do they really mean?  As you know I have been on the most amazing spiritual journey. It’s almost been 5 years…I was told this quest to seek Him would temper with time! It would cool down…  I do believe if you are ever touched by Him your life will never be the same… 

In my journey, I have felt alone even when I have been in a room of like-minded souls… 

No matter how many gather, I believe it’s a personal walk with Him that many can understand. We can relate and have many similarities but each one of us is so special to Him. So we are treated according to our needs. We are loved according to how we allow Him to love us.. and our relationship with Him is according to how much of ourselves we are willing to surrender to Him.

When I see, the movement, the revivals, the revolutions..  or even the movies sharing Him… I stand in awe… because His love goes beyond what we can even fathom… 

Many Christians and Non-Christians have become judgmental. They throw stones at what they do not understand..  Instead of seeing the big picture unfolding before their eyes … they look for the small cracks to erode these beautiful moments. 

It’s Him… and as His children gather… we will show the world His love can not be hidden, it's a love that can not be stopped. He gave us this unique gift of life for a beautiful purpose. We are called His remnant… and He is ours, our first love.. our Savior, our King … 

I can only ask, do not be critical of what you may not understand. He is using many souls to tell His story. If it does not agree with what you deem as acceptable… 

Pray and step back and watch Him work… 

He has promised to come back. However, when? 

I can only imagine… and pray that I am ready when He calls.

Be still my Heart. 

It’s Him… It will always be Him 

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

1 Corinthians 13:8

- The meaning of insanity: is extreme foolishness or irrationality.

It”s crazy that words you would think are not in the Bible are there pressed within its wisdom!! It was no different with the word insanity we found 23 verses! 

We are all a little judgmental when we view others.  If their behavior is not what we consider “normal”  we tend to think they are a little crazy or insane…

But I ask who placed the boundaries on what is “normal”?  Or what is “acceptable” in our circles of life? 

During my journey, I have seen and felt this judgmental spirit… To the point of questioning my own sanity and behavior. 

On the very first day of my spiritual encounter, things began to change… The mundane everyday existence that I had grown comfortable with began to unravel. Things became new and exciting and God's love began to teach me that there is MORE… 

And my thoughts shifted and my “normal” behavior began its spiritually enlightened journey and my once bound life took flight… Many thought that I had lost my mind… perhaps I would need medical advice? Mid-life crisis? But none of these was the correct diagnosis… 

I had been touched by God… And for that, there is NO cure… because there is no illness. 

Loving Him is our soul's purpose. (Matthew 22:40). I will admit He gave my life new meaning…. I grew closer to Him as others watched. Some judgmental souls became distant. But their curious hearts continued to watch me unfold from a distance. 

I gained so much more, more depth, more love, more understanding… He made my life richer, and my quest to know more about Him continues… He placed a hunger in my soul that cannot be contained. 

I believe this word came to me today as I watch what many people will view as insane behavior as it unfolds… on all social media. 

Asbury college has caught the spiritually enlightened bug of love from God. People are watching, some like me have this desire to go there and connect with the souls that have felt His stirring in their parched souls... Some will raise their hands and praise Elohim where they stand in unity.  Some will think these young souls have lost their minds… “insanity” is rampant at Asbury College. 

I am triple their age… and Had my own experience almost five years ago. I know first hand God shows no favoritism in color, race, age, or gender we are all His children. And He is calling all His beautiful souls…  But to the world, the ones who listen are seen as chosen… 

Are you listening?

We live in a world of judgment especially when we do not understand. 

I have lived in His love and have difficulty putting His amazing spiritual love into words… 

But if I am labeled as insane I know it's because of many people's lack of knowledge.. and I am ok with that. I would not change His gift of love for all the riches on earth. 

So as we watch our youth raise their hands and utter prayers with new and beautiful excitement. Don’t judge … fall on your knees,  listen…and find your purpose!! 

We were created to love! By the master of love, God Himself... (1 John 4:7-21)  It truly does not matter what others think.  

Yes, I admit I am crazy… crazy about Him… it will always be Him. 

He gave me the courage to stand up and be counted... as HIS.

He gets me more than anyone. He knows me better than I know myself… and yet He except me with all my flaws and promised to love me to the end of time. 

I am excited to witness His love touching our youth. They are our future … They will carry His name and His love for future generations.  They are all His legacy... 

Let’s raise our hands where we stand in unity for one day we will all be one people, under the one and only living God. 

Elohim…

What’s the definition of insanity again?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Albert Einstein 

Who would not want to feel loved over and over again? Is that insane??  I say not. I pray, you agree… 

If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God . . .

- 2 Corinthians 5:13

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9
