Good Morning, I have had an overwhelming sense of peace since the last post. For those of you who have not read about yesterday, please do so, and read J's comment, too. It's awesome, I believe it! The Lord continues to confirm that this is indeed a Sweep in the most beautiful ways. I'm looking forward to hearing from Andy, I hope that he can get through to me via Messenger or email. We're not sure about wifi connections there, and I pray that his phone will work.
On the way to the airport on Thursday, Andy was debating about what message to give to the people as he traveled in the nation. He was inspired to say "Good Morning, Burundi". I smiled, yeah, not unlike Good Morning Pittsburgh, my own current heartbeat, more later...
Good, speaks for the future, the destiny, Morning, a new beginning and a new day, and to the people of Burundi, Your name is on His lips, His heart. "For out of the abundance of His heart, His mouth speaks", "For I know the plans I have for you, Plans for a future and a hope..." and "From the rising of the sun...His love and mercy are new every Morning". Over the next several days, let's continue to Sweep the nation with prayers/scripture that relate to these themes, and to Healing of every kind. Not hard, the Word is full of life.
So Father, I pray even today as You Gaze upon Burundi that You Sweep this land with a fresh outpouring of Your love, overcoming every negative work in opposition to Your purpose. Make this New Day begin this day, no delays. May Andy be Your mouth, speaking Your words of blessing to everyone He meets. Move upon the people, meet their physical needs, gather in the outcasts and the unlovely, together with those who are at war with one another. We speak to this nation, this people to Rise Up in the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, and take their place in the Kingdom. Heal this land from the bloodshed and hatred, transform it into a nation of love, of giving out to other nations in Africa and in the world. Dig up deposits of wealth and distribute it to the people, releasing them from a spirit of poverty and destitution. Set a boundary around Your people today, protect them from harm and prosper each individual and family. Use us as instruments to bring this to pass and raise a spiritual army to win this nation for You. We claim Burundi for You, Lord Jesus Christ, and bind up every spirit of darkness that has dared to stake a claim. We bind principalities and powers, casting down every thought raised up against Your knowledge, against Your Son. Victory for Burundi today, a new beginning and a new life in You. Love you all, Amy
