Just got back home after a visit in Florida. I attended the "onething conference" at Church in the Son by International House of Prayer (IHOP). ..3 days of worship, teaching, and powerful prayer.. The after-effects of those 3 days changed my current perspective; and the resulting prayers yielded the clarity I have so been longing for...
God led me to these 3 scriptures in the days to follow-all revolving around onething:
1) 2 Peter:8-9
"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you..."
2) Philippians 3:13
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."
3) John 9:25
"..Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!"
Even though I felt like God was taking forever with letting me in on certain plans this past year, clarity is "slowly" coming in His perfect time. Some of His advice right now? Forget what is behind and move forward. He has proceeded to give me dreams of the future and visions of how He loves and values me.
One thing is clear: God is getting me excited for 2011.
