power and peace and gentleness

morning light at KCC

Thank YOU, God, for coming with power and peace and gentleness.  You healed a friends broken big toe on Wednesday at our Women’s Prayer Group.  And then yesterday You choreographed an amazing prayer “conversation” with two dear friends that left me with “chicken skin”.

You came in “Power and Peace and Gentleness” as my friend said. Thank You!

And now I am FILLED with an overwhelming awareness of HOW MUCH YOU WANT/LONG TO BE ASKED TO COME AND HEAL.

Amazing . . . staggering, actually.  How did it happen, God, that this natural clumping together to pray for one another got “lost”? How did it become privatized so that we mostly pray alone FOR others — instead of praying together WITH others?

How indeed!  Ah, yes, we are in the Era of the Expert. Professional training and education have been substituted for gifts and callings. Well, I suppose the intention was to ADD THEM ON to gifts and callings.

Or was it Fear?  Fear of entrusting ordinary people with an open connection to YOU?  OF COURSE!  Your Holy Spirit does come in peace and gentleness, but it also comes in POWER.  Godly power — even a Female Version of Your Power — is disruptive.

Ah, God, disrupt ME!  YES!  I say YES to You. (Albeit, with some trepidation . . .)
