Leaving The Ledge

God Is Faithful Always

I have to tell this story.  It is more evidence of God's faithfulness to us...in everything.  Even the song I am listening to right now is proclaiming the faithfulness of the Father.  As He has proven Himself time after time,  I oftentimes am overwhelmed by His goodness and patience as I throw my little fits when I don't get my way, or have to wait on the things He has promised to me.  So here goes...

Most of you know that I have been on a writing project,  which I have finished.  The plan was to finish and go to a secluded place for a time of prayer and fasting to seek the Lord's will and plan for the book.  This would not be just any place, but rather a place that was birthed in a vision many years ago.  It was perfect.

I have a dear friend who has been a ministry partner of mine for many years.  As a worship pastor, I have been a part of his team in 2 churches.  We have forged a lifelong friendship that has been blessed by the Father.  We have both been there for each other in great times of need.  I love their family very much.  

Years ago he shared a vision God had given him and it spoke to his core.  I have seen this vision go from a fleeting thought, to a viable option, to current fruition.  The vision was to have a secluded place where artists could get away for inspirational time with the Lord, reflection, or to work on a project.  However, when vision is given, we are not always prepared or ready to move in it.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie.  Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late.

Habakkuk 2:3

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth.  For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears.  He will also declare to you what is to come.

John 16:13

So as visions have been shared and seen come to life, here I found myself staying in a cabin birthed from a vision long ago, and for its purpose.  As I sought the Father, He was quick to confirm instruction I was awaiting.  Instead, He gave me a gift to give to my friend.  There are many details about how He got me still enough to receive this.  That is the sweet part.  As you can see in the picture above, the name of this cabin is Fresh Wind... and the gift,

There is a fresh wind coming

So be prepared to hear.

We've prayed in preparation

For the Lord to make it clear.

Know that when you enter here

You are on hallowed ground,

For the vision of this place

Was given long before it found.

As you exercise your given gifts

Whatever they may be,

May God grant you the ears to hear

And open eyes to see.

Please enjoy the atmosphere,

We find it rather quaint,

And maybe you can use it

For a picture you might paint.

Or maybe for a song or book

That you feel led to write.

We pray the Lord inspires

Into the darkness of the night.

For this place is anointed

And we think you'll find it true.

A clawfoot tub for showers,

A porch with sunset view.

To sit outside and listen

As the wind blows through the trees,

Take a little nature walk,

Or spend time on your knees.

This cabin has been waiting

For you to enter in.

And when you enter, do expect

Your fresh wind to begin.

Such an experience, and what an honor to be able to be the messenger of this gift from the Father to the owners of this place that will birth more vision, life changing vision for the kingdom.

He is faithful....and I am blessed.
