Whatever You're Doing

I can't begin to describe the restoration that God is doing within my life. Tonight at the Pre-Call rally God spoke some profound words into my life. This whole month He has been teaching me about how God took weak, frail people, and plucked them out of obscurity to change history. Esther was a poor orphan who became queen and saved the whole Jewish nation. Joseph was hated by his brothers, thrown in prison, sold as a slave, and then became second in command for Egypt. Joseph saved many from starvation. Paul was a persecutor of the church, he killed faithful followers of Jesus, and he (at conversion) was given the mandate of writing a majority of the New Testament. His writings have formed governments, saved lives, and shaped history in profound ways. There are countless other influential people and they are not just in the Bible. People who are shaping history today have similar stories. There were reasons why these heroes weren't considered history-making people. They had limitations on them. They had deep hurts and difficult battles. Still God used them in radical ways to change history. God spoke this phrase deep in my spirit.

"I am making it right."

He is referring to all the difficulties I have had with my illness. He is giving me the power to overcome my struggles and my defeats. But, more importantly He is increasing my faith. He is asking me to dream big. God is going to win the war even if a few battles were lost. I actually think this restoration is directly related to my passion for the ending of legal abortions. I also think it is directly related to my desire to see the mentally ill healed. I have a new faith that God is going to use my broken life to touch the world around me. I have been praying for more faith and confidence. Suddenly I realize that God is on the move and He is ready to take back what the enemy has stolen. After the rally I got in my car and I heard this song. It is actually the first time I have heard it. It is a perfect song for my current condition. This will be my life song from now on. I posted the music video. The lyrics are underneath.






It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house

Time breathe in and let everything out
