God’s Dreaming
ByI’ve been thinking about Awakenings..wondering just what exactly is happening with Dr. Rodney Howard Browne, the street teams and America.
The story came to me about the time the champion race car driver Dale Earnhardt fell asleep at the wheel but kept driving anyway. He drove 2 laps hitting 2 walls before he pulled off the track still asleep. It seems that many people in this amazing nation of ours have been asleep at the wheel spiritually but driving anyway-racing around- going in circles without realizing it. To so many of them it seems that God has been strangely absent as if He were the one Who fell asleep..but the problem isn’t that God ‘went somewhere else’ but that America quit looking for Him so they quit seeing Him. Now suddenly ‘Deep is calling to deep’ and hearts are stirring from their slumber..and as always God is initiating and responding both at the same time. And as always He is using mere men and women to declare that the time has come to wake up to a whole new life in Him.
There is a collection of slave readings from the lst Great Awakening in America where one man says “I saw the Book talk” He meant he had seen Christ come alive through the scriptures being presented by a believer and his life was forever awakened to the Eternal.
After all my wonderings about Awakenings the only thing I conclude is that I’m not smart enough to know what exactly is happening but I’m smart enough to not miss it! I want to be a part of every part of His dream to wake America up to Himself.

What an awesome opportunity for Christians to unite, be a part of what God is wanting to do in America, and radically change a whole city for Jesus Christ.

That’s right cHenderson! What an opportunity to be part of what God wants to do in America.
All we have to do is to step out and reach out to the hurting, and the desperate. When I see tears in people’s eyes as they receive Jesus in their hearts it touches me and I thank God that I was obedient to stop and talk to that person.

It is pretty cool that various demoninations can come together to reach out to our lost brothers and sisters..we all can agree on their need for Jesus.
