Trying to describe WTN...again...

I've really been extremely evasive so many times in rendering any potency to what exactly WTN is, what the vision is, etc. In the last email, I started a process of trying to correct that, as in this season I'm hoping to really link arms with a number of people who have the same passion I do to see the beauty of Jesus brought to every crook and cranny of the earth. I want to continue to do a bit more of that in this blog.

I read this verse about 2 weeks ago, and it was as if I wondered why in the flippin' world I had never looked at it before: "The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, 'Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among cherubim and scatter them over the city'. And as I watched, he went in." Ezekiel 10:2

WOW! It's hard for me to find words to say what is moaning and groaning inside of me for what I want to do...but this verse really epitomizes a lot of it....1. Go into a heavenly place of God-encounters like this one 2. Take that encounter with Him and make it something that shakes, rattles, and rolls in the world.

I received a good word from a brother about a month and a half ago as I was worshiping together with people in a house in Hominy, OK (one of my favorite places ever). He said he felt like I was "going backward so that I could go forward again. Almost like being pulled back in a bow so that an arrow can go out." That really has helped a lot of things make sense for me.

I'm taking my sweet time in a lot of ways right now, but, in so doing, I want to connect with those that want to grab fire from above and let it's affect take place over cities, villages, regions and nations. I'm waiting on a green light from the Lord to go back out, re-commissioned with His authority & with great expectations.

I got another word from someone this past weekend at another time of gathering to worship in another house here in Oklahoma---a guy who never met me, who said stuff like "you are a preacher. You are made for the nations." The room was laughing in an uproar at how hilariously spot-on this guy was in his accuracy in the prophetic. He went on to say (amongst much else) "it's time to link arms with your brothers." A few days later, a good friend of mine called me up and invited me to join him for the Luke 18 conference in Kansas City, which is somewhat of a co-op with IHOP / OneThing. From what I gather, it's going to be a great chance to connect with a lot of leaders in the prayer / missions movment, from all sorts of different organizations and backgrounds.
What got me was the immediate effect of this word from this guy...follow up of confirmation within days (and I admit I've been weary of many words lately because of the lack of accuracy, confirmation, or even a remote sense of truth so many bring). I'm really really really excited about this because I feel like I am supposed to seize the moment right now and hook up with those that also have a heart to see organic witnesses of Jesus planted throughout the earth.

I don't know how to describe to you what's about to happen, but I hope this helps. All I know is that I read this book that says stuff like grab fire from heaven and toss it over cities. And I'm going to try to figure out how to do that.
