Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!"

Everywhere I turn in recent days there is a clear sound being released…that is the Sound of Awakening! I am truly overwhelmed as I sit to write this, my heart burning, and my ears overtaken by the Sound of the Spirit and the Bride crying out, “Come!”

True worship is a response to the Father. We can’t get so lost in the Presence of the Father that we don’t begin to tap into His heart for His Kingdom. The sound of awakening is the sound of the garden in Gen 3:8 when God came in the cool of the day and cried, “Adam where are you?” It’s the sound of Noah in Heb 11:7 as he responded to the Voice of God…built an Ark…and “warned of things not yet seen.” It’s the sound of a burning bush in Exodus 3 telling Moses to command Pharaoh, “let my people go!” It’s the sound of dry bones in Ezekiel 37 rattling, making noise, coming together to form an army! It’s the sound of the Old Testament Prophets leading up to John the Baptist…a voice…a sound in the wilderness in Matt 3: 1-12 saying, “make straight the way of the Lord!” It’s the sound of John 1 “when the Word became flesh”…the sound of angels proclaiming in Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the Highest”. It’s the sound that goes out at midnight in Matt 25 that awakens the 10 virgins!!!! It’s the sound that awakens hearts and releases the Fear of the Lord! It’s the sound released to call forth a generation to turn from lesser lovers and burn for the ultimate lover of our Souls. JESUS! It leaves the hearer with a choice…life or death…blessing or cursing… I pray that we all begin to understand the importance of the hour in which we are living.

Ps 42:7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise (roar) of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have washed over me.

As I am writing this I am sitting on a front porch overlooking the Indian Ocean in Umdloti, which is a suburb in Durban South Africa. I am seriously getting wrecked by the Beauty of God. All around me I am seeing the hunger of the South African people! I have linked arms with Sean Feucht, Burn 24-7, and local churches to tour South Africa and establish Burn centers...the heart of these centers are to host the Presence of God, see the water level rise in cities, and release the sound of Heaven!

We have been going non-stop from the moment we landed! Region after region...encounter after encounter...wave after glorious wave! Today our team had some free time and we went swimming in the Indian Ocean. It was CRAZY! The power of the waves was quite overwhelming. I am not a very strong swimmer but I couldn't miss the opportunity to ride some waves. I would ride one and as soon as I would pop my head up there would be another one hitting me and taking me under and then one would come back the other way and pull me deeper. Only one other time have I been so overwhelmed like this. Last year in Puerto Rico I went snorkeling...what an amazing experience. Under the water there were so many amazing textures and colors. Before I knew it, I was just lost in this ‘otherworld’ submerged under water. The only thing I didn't realize as I was lost in the wonder of it all was the under tow was taking me deeper and deeper...by the time I realized this, the pull was so strong I thought I wouldn't make it back. The deeper I got the stronger the pull!!!! Today as I was swimming, Psalm 42:7 became so real to me. The Deeper we go the stronger the pull! SHOA! Deep calls out to Deep in the roar of His waters! There is a Roar in the Tabernacle of God calling us deeper! The closer we get the more our ears tune in to His Voice...the deeper we go the stronger the current. I say let’s catch the Wave and roll with it! Why not? There is another realm to partake in when we allow ourselves to get submerged!
