This past Sunday I prayer walked the Great Room. If you have not yet signed up for access to the building for prayer walking, I highly suggest it! Ryan reached out to those who are participating in \u201con sight prayer times\u201d with great encouragement and insight into the purpose of prayer walking. If you sign up, I\u2019m sure you will get the email \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I walked and read the prophetic prayers and verses, I asked God to ignite my imagination and bring to mind specific words and images that would direct my prayers in alignment with his heart. That is exactly what happened while I pictured him walking with me across the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the words he emphasized to me was \u201cprepare\u201d. I know the room is being prepared. I know there are contributions to the completion of the project that are being prepared. After I walked, I knew I was being prepared. Prayer, like all good conversations, is mutually impactful. The words I speak out influence the space around me. Simultaneously, I am being transformed into one who will be at home in this Great Room.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven is now, not just when the room is done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My kids and I read a book series called The Tales of the Kingdom. It\u2019s an imaginative representation of a people who are citizens of \u201cBright City\u201d (which represents the kingdom of God) and the way they bring their city to the place where darkness rules, called the \u201cEnchanted City\u201d. The people go and spend time in Bright City to build relationship with their King, discover their real names, and their gifts (intimacy, identity, inheritance!!). Then they are given assignment to take their true selves to impact Enchanted City. Once the people are living and working in Enchanted City, they began transporting actual, physical parts of Bright City to the broken areas of Enchanted City.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am praying this week for all of us as we continue to work through Still Life and establish intimacy, identity and discover inheritance. We are inhabited by the kingdom. The Great Room is the way we bring physical representation of the Kingdom to a place we can see, but the Kingdom only comes when its citizens express their identity and inheritance! Only when we are prepared can we partner with preparing the Great Room.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specific prayers for our family this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
