If you've read here long, you'll know that I have been praying for the "Third Great Awakening" to arrive for almost 2 decades. When my children were young, and we were studying American History, we learned about the First and Second Great Awakenings. That's when I started praying for God to bring us the third.
What happened back then was, all of a sudden, people realized that there lives were empty without God. They just opened up their hearts to God and His glory took over their hum-drum existences. He brought them joy that NOTHING else could bring and it spread like wildfire across the whole country. That's what is starting now!!
I'm convinced that the "Third Great Awakening" has already begun in other parts of the world. Now for it to burst into flame in America!!! Americans are pretty independent--to an extreme--as most people I know have an "I can do it without God" mentality.
These past 2 years of dealing with COVID, and all of these insane restrictions, it seems has eaten away at our "Who needs God?" over-confidence. I DO!!! I NEED GOD!!! I'll tell you a story so you can see how much I need God.
I was baking a cake last week. Instead of the wonderful smell of cake baking, I started to notice this horrible smell. It seemed like it was in the hallway so I started searching for the source there. Finding nothing there, I went to the laundry room. NOPE Then I went back to the kitchen but I just couldn't see anything that would cause a stink like that. It was definitely the smell of hot plastic and I wondered if something was wrong underneath our modular home.
Being I had the fan on in the kitchen, the smell was barely noticeable there. I started to panic. "What is on fire, LORD? Help me to find it, PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
Then the timer went off to take out the cake so I took it out and turned off the timer. I was shutting the oven door when I "Just happened to notice" the source of the horrible stink. WHAT A RELIEF!!
We had had pizza the night before. Being I was too tired to wash the pizza stone, I had stored it AND the pizza cutter in the oven. Apparently, when I took the stone out of the oven to bake the cake, I must have knocked the pizza cutter off the stone. It landed, unnoticed by me, right near the oven's heating element. Yes, you guessed it, the plastic handle of the pizza cutter had melted into a big pile of plastic in the back of the oven. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Although I was grossed out by that wretched burning plastic smell, I was so relieved to know what was the cause. I was so thankful that God kept my heart calm. I praised God (still do) that He doesn't get shook up even when we are freaking out!!
One of the ways that Father has kept me calm through all that has happened since November 3rd, 2020 is by reading the words that He is sending us through His servants. Today is an exceptionally encouraging word. I pray that it blesses you to know that God is IN CHARGE of the world and that He is TAKING OVER!! YAY
May God bless your day and your week with peace!!

PS Kat keeps saying that Father wants us to eat cake now in celebration of His glory coming to Earth. I haven't eaten so much cake in my life. lol
"Preparing for God's Victory Tour"
Dean Mitchum, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
The Undefeated God, the Champion of Victories, is preparing His victory tour and He wants you to perform. From every corner, cave and couch, God is calling forth an army of creative worshipers! What you have is important and He put in you what He needs for this next move! He wants you to use your gifts to participate in His victories.
"Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of His great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing." (Isaiah 40:26 NLT)
When God established the tabernacles of Moses and David for worship He stirred the people of the kingdom. Prophets would speak a new message, psalmists would write new songs, artisans would release new creativity and the people would worship with a new expectation (Ex. 35:10, 1 Chr. 22).
God Is Stirring the People of the Kingdom Once Again
There is something new taking place and Heaven is releasing a sound that is deeply moving the people. That sound is calling you. It is awakening you and drawing you to the next great worship movement. God is establishing another dimension and tabernacle of worship. He is releasing the message of a new-era reformation in the Church, and it's penetrating the hearts and minds of the prophets, psalmists, artisans, and the people. It is bringing us to the third tabernacle of worship, the tabernacle of God – God's final tabernacle and victory tour. (Photo via Creative Commons)
"And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.'" (Revelation 21:3 NKJV)
God Is Stirring the Prophets
Many global leaders such as Bishop Bill Hamon, Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, and Cindy Jacobs are prophesying the message of reformation and awakening. And many are declaring that the fullness of Christ in the five-fold ministry has brought us to a new era and dimension in the Kingdom.
God Is Quickening the Psalmists
The Lord is quickening the quill of the psalmists and they are beginning to write from a new dimension and perspective...the Kingdom dimension of the tabernacle of God.
"My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." (Psalm 45:1 NKJV)
God Is Summoning the Artisans
God is sounding forth the call for artisans to create with a new sense of destiny and purpose. He wants you to let your giftings prophesy. The beauty of the Lord displayed in your creations makes a way for the glory of the Lord to cover the earth and draw people to His presence.
"All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded." (Exodus 35:10 NKJV)
God Is Stirring the People
God is moving on the hearts of His people and they are sensing that God is coming in a new way. There's a divine yearning that keeps drawing us to the greater glory of God that is about to be revealed. (Photo via Unsplash)
"Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord's offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments." (Exodus 35:21 NKJV)
When God stirred Moses and David to build, it was symbolic of His future tabernacle where He would come Himself and never leave.
Prepare for God's Victory Tour
God's victory tour is not about us coming to Him but Him coming to us. He's planning the most elaborate victory tour that the earth has ever seen. He is wanting us to prepare and perform as He parades to Earth in all of His glory bringing His city with Him. He's bringing Heaven to Earth.
His celebration and victory tour will surpass the greatest concert, sporting event, or human achievement ceremony ever held. But He doesn't want to do it alone. He is preparing our hearts by stirring in us a desire to use our gifts to the highest level possible. He's awakening us so that we my participate in His glory covering the entire earth.
The sound of Heaven is being heard all across the Church, and we should let the sound of Heaven move us to prepare for God's victory tour!
