I was learning that each step on the journey was another battle for freedom from fear. Before meeting Johnny, fear had often been the overriding theme of my nighttime dreams.

In this world where the land has mostly been explored, our personal explorations take place in the heart and mind. This is a journey of uncharted waters for most of us, an adventure both treacherous and exhilarating. Treacherous in that we must let go of the security of false or partial truth.

Are you called to be a revolutionary? We need revolutionaries that embrace truth but push the bounds of tradition, if it is false tradition. When you walk with God and listen to God, don’t be surprised, in fact be expecting to receive revolutionary ideas and thoughts.

Don’t for a second believe that there are coincidences. Look at life with new eyes and know that God is putting the pieces of your puzzle together with precision, not coincidences. When we walk with Him, listen to His voice, and take Him at His word, look out… Awe happens.

The revelation came in like a 220-volt current to a 110 outlet…There is no experience like receiving a revelation, a call to greatness. No victory, no treasure, no person or object can compete with the overwhelming sense of security created by the Voice. To know that God is close and personal changes the game.
