Admittedly I am not normal. Some say strange, some say goofy, I prefer the term unique. Please do not use my experience as any kind of template on how God works. I just know that He is alive and at work in my life. And sometimes He talks to me. Well, He speaks much more than I listen. But recently He woke me up, or at least I woke up, and heard Him say 28 days. This came to me almost lyrically like the words to a song. I know it’s strange. But I felt like God was sharing with me that something important would happen 28 days from that Sunday or within that period or starting in that period. I just felt like 28 days was significant.
I knew that 28 days from that Sunday would be Pentecost Sunday. I love Pentecost Sunday. It is the birthday of the Church. It is when God said everyone gets to be a part! So I expected something to do with that. I still think there is some significance there, but…
The following Sunday I was given a trip to Israel. All expenses paid for a 16 day journey to walk where Jesus walked. Guess what? I leave on the 28th day. Coincidence? Maybe, but if that is true, I love coincidences.
In preparation I have been studying and reading some great books. I look forward to seeing the perspective of people in this ancient land. The group I am going with is referring to this as a pilgrimage. They called me a pilgrim. Right away my mind flashed to John Wayne’s accent “Pilgrim.” I know this is going to be a great and significant journey for me. The beginning of a new era in my heart and ministry. I can’t tell you everything yet, but I will give sneak peaks in the days to come.
The plane ride starts June 12th. The journey has already begun!
Well
New Hope
