THIS is a repost from four years ago, it blessed me today, as I read it again. I posted it almost 4 years to the day -- and yet, as I re-sing the song mentioned and as I pray -- the knowledge that GOD is JUST as present and as real today as HE was to me 4 years ago just excites and pleases me. God has healed much and answered much, but even today -- there are new women and people within my circle of influence and care that are seeking a miracle and seeking God's divine intervention.
I found myself, today, literally making the hand motions in my car, like I was using a lasso and rounding up ALL the prayers that needed to be spoken and I found myself overcome with the 'much' of it all....and then - peace, as I could come boldly to the throne room of my God and just lay each request down ---and the lasso'd prayer list -- at the cross.

I hope, if you are reading this, it blesses you as well, or share it with another.
Lord, as I rode into work today the sunrise was so spectacular and it opened my eyes. And Lord, I saw a similar sky as I drove home...in the beginning of the sunset.
Lord, YOU graced a songwriter with this song. "HE'll break open the skies....and save those that cry out HIS name".
I thought of that, over and over and sang that song in my head today....YOU do break open the skies....YOUR word says that YOU don't want anyone to perish......I am just amazed that YOU love us that much. And you love us over and over 24/7..... I remember back in February ( 2011 ) when I had a vision of you, on that horse and you bent down and scooped me up...and placed me on the horse in front of you. That scooping motion was so real. I could see and and feel it. And then, YOU gave me another vision of that BRIGHT yellow light - YOUR light. I remember it being so clear and yet so bright that I wanted to look away but I didn't. And it only lasted a few seconds, but there was such a peace and warmth with it. Then later in the summer, when I listened to and read the story about Todd Burpo's son...it just all came together and I really believed that I had been privileged enough to experience that yellow - YOUR light and then that warmth. It is a vision and a feeling that I will never forget. I don't share that with too many as some may not believe it is true - but I do. I used to think all that sort of stuff was just 'freakish' but now, YOU power and how you work is such a mystery and YOU make real things happen. I see you Lord, as the warrior on the horse, coming in to rescue me.

I remember back in July of 2009, as I was doing a bible study how YOU seemed to jump out of the DVD and speak to me because I had this bracelet on....and the verse was " I have engraved your name on the palm of my hand ". The circumstance, the event, the DVD, and well -- it just was like YOU were directly there and telling me. I know that I know, you continue to delight me and help my faith get stronger and stronger. That sunrise this am, that sunset was just another reminder of YOUR power and YOUR love for us.
Lord, I am praying today for several sisters in You - I consider it a great privilege to pray on behalf of their circumstances ...I want them to experience YOU like I have. I WANT them to see you BREAK open the skies !! I don't want them to experience any more great sadness or hurt ...but I can attest - YOU bring beauty out of ashes and sometimes the blessings come through tears. Lord, I pray that as each of them awakes today, each will see a sunrise and know YOU are there. I pray each of them will have a divine Encounter with YOU Lord, and I also pray that each of them experience a healing, spiritually, and that the families are being blessed.
Lord, there is hurt within hearts....old hurts that continue to creep in - it has to stop. Lord, there is hurt within her husband -- but she is being faithful to pray. Lord, in the meantime, help her to walk in this faith and not be a 'thorn' within his side. Lord, for her children -- help her to seek You and show her children that she is following You -- not the 'norm'. Lord, that his eyes would open - period. Lord, it is time ....but we will wait on YOUR timing as we know that is best. Please, Lord, as You draw her near -- she will get that relief. Open her eyes in such a new way. Allow her to WALK the path you are setting, not swaying to the left or to the right but to YOU. Lord, may YOU be her counsel, may Your word confirm it.
Lord, I pray she would dream tonight and have a vision that would increase her faith and give her great hope. Lord, YOU are in this...YOU inspire these prayers, may they not only give her hope but may she really believe that YOU will heal her as YOU break open the skies ....and she would see you in a new and real way. Amen.
In Christ,
michelle
