Find Your Hind's Feet and Go To High Places!

Friday, February 29, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

God is saying, Leap! To leap means you will go through a sudden transition.  To leap also means that you will become agile by moving yourself suddenly from the ground by using your leg muscles.  Leap also means to jump or pass over or cause/force something else to make this move.  In this transitional year you must find your place of departure, as well as your place of entry. There are some things we need to leave behind.  As you depart one phase or season you will also see your place to enter.  May He accelerate time for you.  Develop new strength to run the race ahead.  Seek Him like never before, and all things will be added to you.  Leap forward this month and you will find yourself moving in the perfect will of God! The Lord is releasing supernatural grace and favor to enable us to contend with our enemies and overthrow strategies of hell that would stop us from advancing. Psalm 18:28-29 says, For you will light my lamp; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.  For by You I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall.  Not only can we leap over a wall, but I keep seeing us finding our new gate and going through, into enemy territory that we have never before secured. On Sunday, March 2, I will be sharing on Leap Forward: Find Your Hind's Feet and Go To High Places.  Our Sunday schedule begins at 9 AM with The Power of Lift.  This is a dynamic time where we ascend in worship and descend in war.  At 10:15 AM, our corporate worship service will begin.  Robert Heidler will be ministering on Gaining Faith Momentum: Facing Every Obstacle in Faith.
