It's Time To Align by Pastor Brent Lokker

Last week when Jo Moody was with us, she had us stand before she preached and spoke a simple prayer… “Holy Spirit, come!”  Then she gave him time to move in and around and amongst our hearts, saying to us, “Wait for it…”

In that moment, God’s Spirit was supernaturally shifting something in my brain—it felt physiological—causing me to clearly perceive from His vantage point what was true. Two things became crystal clear in that instant: (1) A huge revival, which will include a massive harvest of souls beyond anything history has ever seen, is most certainly coming; and (2) Alignment with God’s heart and His Kingdom order is essential!

These things felt so real, like they had already happened, even though they are still to take place.
Faith celebrates as certain what hope visualizes as future.
(Hebrews 11:1 in The Mirror Bible)
A huge revival is coming so it’s imperative that we align ourselves fully with God so that what’s important to Him becomes of utmost importance to us as well.

What does alignment look like?
  • Everything must begin with aligning our individual hearts to God’s heart
    • We agree He is a good, good Father
    • We agree we are His treasured sons and daughters
    • We align our values with His. Values like kindness, love, forgiveness, mercy, generosity, honor and humility
  • We give Jesus permission to show us things in our hearts that need to go. We repent, renounce and return to God’s ways. We repent of
    • Judgments
    • Unforgiveness
    • Offense
    • A critical spirit (towards others and ourselves!)
    • Petty jealousy
    • Apathy
  • We yield and submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, which includes embracing His purposes for our lives. In so doing, we become His bright lights on the earth!
  • We discover who we were meant to be and move in the power of the Holy Spirit with the gifts we’ve been given to demonstrate the beauty, glory and goodness of God!
As we individually align our hearts to God’s heart and yield ourselves to His perfect purposes for our lives, we will also come into a beautifully orchestrated alignment with one another and with the entire body of Christ across the globe. Which is exactly the Father’s plan and precisely what’s needed for a huge harvest of sons and daughters who are coming into God’s family.

We are alive for such a time as this!

With Love,

Brent
