Observations from Acts 9-15
I am so thoroughly enjoying and reveling in the routine that is developing as I continue in the place of extended prayer.

Ephesians 3:20-21, "Now to Him who is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than ALL we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
There are several nuggets in the Word that I want to write out which give some clarity to the leading of the Lord. I sensed the Holy Spirit tell me to read Psalm 5-7.
The Lord continues to be ruthless with my unbelief that racks me...and I can tell that He is uprooting it piece by piece as I yield to Him and actually come to grips with the reality and bare-bones of the truth, particularly in the life of Jesus. Either what He said and did was true, or it wasn't. We must come to grips with the multitudes of people Jesus healed.
Yesterday I was reading Acts 10, the account of when the Lord poured out His Spirit on the Gentiles (Cornelius) by using Peter.
Today I'm reading through the Creation Account, and here are some things the Lord has been showing me from it. In the Message, it says (ch. 1), "God spoke: 'Let Us make human beings in Our image, make them reflecting Our nature so they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, and, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of the Earth.'
In Hebrews 11, I especially am grabbing ahold of this because it's so practical to my own life right now as I take to heart the commands of Jesus, and then go out into the streets and seek to walk in them in the lives of the people He sends me to. I continue to feel a strong resolve in my heart that says, "I refuse to surrender to the principality over this land by shrinking back in fear and not following the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit and in boldness to testify about Jesus and expect signs and wonders to follow."
