I feel there is something powerful about being in Ghana where the main port of slavery exit in Africa occurred. Slaves were taken and shipped to South America, America and Europe. I believe God is breaking off things that have held us slaves to the enemy. I had a day where God did something in my heart, He began birthing something new. There is a garden at the University of Cape Coast, where we go to talk to students about Christ and just show them love. Sometimes our two teams have been meeting in the garden to worship, to pray before we go out onto the campus. One of these days, it was just the girls and they prayed over me as the Spirit led. One person said to me, I feel God saying you can’t just say no to lies, but you have to say yes to the truth, yes to God’s love. It seemed so simple, yet I realized underneath it all, there was something so strong in me that when I thought about saying yes to the truth I felt paralyzed. He slowly keeps pressing His way in deeper and deeper into my heart and it is a bit scary, but I can sense Him smiling saying this way, you’re
going to love it out here, outside these walls! So, I said yes. And I wrote this:
A revelation is here.
A discovery of what is her’s.
A royal inheritance.
A realization of being a co-heir.
Co heirs with a Father, a Son and a Holy Spirit.
Not just in heaven, but on earth.
One of freedom in this life not just in the next.
One of authority.
Her inheritance has been unknown.
But, the treasure map has been found.
The letter of will has been opened.
The lines and drawings are beginning to be discovered.
The map was hidden. Unknown.
Why?
Because it seemed too big and not meant for her.
Because the deceiver wanted it to stay hidden.
Why?
Because a revelation could change her life.
A discovery could change the world.
Could lead to something huge.
A discovery could start a revival, an avalanche.
An unstoppable force of freedom being spread.
A revelation of love could burn the pile of lies to the ground
And cause a dam of truth to bust wide open
Out of which will flow a mighty river
A strong hurricane of love that could flood the world.
The deceiver has lied too much.
Saying it’s not for her.
He doesn’t love you this much.
But, the Great Lover has the treasure map.
It’s in His hands.
He is handing it over.
And she is beginning to take it.
The map of discovery to her inheritance.
Why?
Because He loves her and wants her to know love.
He says take the map.
Allow it into your hands.
She’s realizing it’s for her.
An inheritance like she’s never seen.
One bigger than all the kings and queens of this world.
For this is a kingdom inheritance.
One of absolute royalty because of the price of His Son.
An inheritance of knowing His love for her is better than silver or gold.
And all the treasures of the world.
The map is being opened.
The lines are being read.
The drawings are being revealed.
She’s realizing it’s for her.
And she does not have to earn it.
Only accept it.
His gift to her.
God has spoken to me that He wants me to KNOW HIS LOVE, to simply be loved. To have that secure inside of me, and from that place of knowing I’m loved, others will be changed. I have found myself at times feeling this weird guilt for receiving love. Bottom line: a lie that I’m not worthy enough. I’m realizing He is giving and loving and He wants to always show His love and for us to receive it. His heart is love. His Son died so we could be reconciled to Him and know it, that is how much His heart ached for us to know Him and His love. So denying it is like denying the price He paid. God has spoken to me and said, after watching the Passion of the Christ, do you see what my Son went through, that was for you, so take all of my inheritance, not just part of it, but all of it. He endured so much so that we can receive so much, not just a little or some freedom, but ALL. We were made for love and it is about us receiving because He loves us so and wants us to know that. But, He also makes it about us so that we make it about others. Out of his love pouring into us, we won’t be able stay silent. We will tell of His goodness because it’s uncontainable. I’m realizing too that when I receive love I immediately feel I need to pay it back by DOING something. He is showing me it is okay just to receive. He would love me the same if I did nothing else, which I totally don’t have a grasp on yet! However, I do know that is not my calling. It is to KNOW His love and to be His love to others.
