Stretching the Balloon

Lord, all glory, honor and praise are yours.



Have you ever tried to blow up one of those tiny balloons that won't budge? I am sure you know what I mean. Whenever I try to blow these up, I usually take a deep breath and blow hard at least three times. When that doesn't work, I grab each end of the balloon and stretch it, pulling here and there until it loosens the elasticity enough to expand.

Well, I feel like that balloon. Funny how you think you are so full of the Holy Spirit, then He comes along and blows into you a Holy fire to fill you some more. And at times, He has to pull and stretch to make you more malleable - more ready to expand for Him.

In Miami, God woke me up twice to give me Psalm 46. The team thought it was significant since the mountains are here around us. The Hatians have a saying. And it is this: "mountains upon mountains." In other words when you resolve one problem there is always another right behind it. I am believing the Lord will bring down many mountains of trouble.

Later that night, I found myself wrestling unseen powers. The enemy was stirring his horde, so I began to pray, pleading the blood of Christ. At 1:30 am, I finally told the Lord I needed to sleep and asked Him to call in another intercessor. I rested, believing He heard my prayer.

There is a carnival coming to Les Cayes, and it will bring all the trappings and issues with it. The spiritists are already busy. We are located on the beach and there is typical beach activity. Bars, drinking and revelry are all around. But there is a fresh wind blowing. The power of the Living God will be heard over all the clamor. And He will be glorified.


"Be sill and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nation..."
