Radical Children


A few months ago,
I believe the Lord brought a brief, but very strong awareness to my mind.
It was unbidden and something of a surprise.


During our snowed in New Years Day, I was relaxing at home working on a jigsaw puzzle. Dave was watching one of those Asian movies about a little boy who was born to be the saving Kung-fu force of a nation in peril. [Not my kind of movie, actually.]


Strong thoughts came to my mind:
~ This generation of young people will be called to intense and even dangerous action for the sake of the Kingdom.
~ Our children will be fierce and faithful warriors.


I believe God will be giving gifts of prophecy and words of knowledge to young people.
Parents will be challenged to fully entrust their children into God's hands.
They must not hinder them.


I have heard prophecies that God is going to use unexpected sources, like children and prisoners, to have great impact for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

God will be working through non typical sources of wisdom.

I believe this is part of our journey into deepening faith, and being able to discern the voice of God. Many people will be led astray by "typical" sources of wisdom. People who claim to speak God's words, but are not.

If you find yourself uneasy in a "Christian milieu," seek God. His Spirit in you may be urging you into discernment. Discernment is not critical in nature; put on compassion and choose to walk in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, self-control.


Again, I have no idea when this time for radical children of faith will be.
But it does tell me I need to pray for these young ones and their parents, and for the churches that are nurturing their relationship with God and preparing them for these future days.

Lord, prepare our hearts for such a day when children will be instrumental in the battle between good & evil.



"The Lord says, 'I will make an agreement with these people. I promise that my Spirit and my words that I give you will never leave you. They will be with your children and your grandchildren. They will be with you now and forever.'" Isaiah 59:21

The Lord says, "I will make you wise. I will show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8

Why am I Blogging Out of My Mind?

God is up to something!

OK, so I'm a private person. Introvert. Shy.
I keep my inner life mostly inside...with the exception of a few people I risk revealing more of inner me with. I'm OK with that.

~ HEAR MY VOICE ~
Lately the Lord is stretching my ears to hear him. . . and then to speak what I hear.
Tho I prefer the behind-the-curtain part of the stage...my husband will tell you I do a lot of directing via stage whispers from the safety of back stage...I feel the Lord's firm hand in the small of my back urging me out to front stage. Yikes!

He has graciously granted me time to toe-dip into "thus sayeth the Lord."
I take that so very seriously!
Maybe too seriously.
I cannot not speak any longer.

Something in this is urgent.

I have a sense the time is now for the BODY OF CHRIST to speak into each other's lives...and into an ever darkening world.
I'm seeing dusk fade into blacker and blackest black.
People are rightly afraid.

HERE WE GO!
We are in a preparation time.
The Body must grow in recognizing the voice of their Shepherd.
The pasture is growing more treacherous...and those who cannot discern His voice over the din are vulnerable.

Some will be picked off by our enemy.
Some will wander and lose their way...and oh so much of the precious time we have been given.


So, for anyone who finds this little blog, I will be speaking out the things I believe the Lord is telling me -- for the sake of His people.

Perhaps these words are for you?
