Shake Us!

 

If you’re sensitive to what’s happening in the atmosphere, you are probably feeling an urgency right now. The prayer, “Oh, God help us!” has been ringing and rising from deep within.
This morning when my feet hit the floor, I heard the cry, “Lord, send revival!”
Lord, shake us with a revival on the level of the one that flamed on Azusa Street.
Shake us until everything that has been exalted above You is cast down.
Shake us until our thoughts become captive and washed by Your Word.
Lord, send revival!
Shake us until crooked thoughts become straight.
Shake us until we hunger and thirst for our first love for You.
Shake us until scales fall from eyes and right sight is restored.
Lord, send revival!
Shake us until cracks of division become unity.
Shake us until hate is consumed by fire.
Shake us until Your love reignites in us.
Lord, send revival!
Shake us until we see through the camouflage of the enemy.
Shake us until the sentinels retake their posts.
Shake us until the frontline warriors re-form with impenetrable strength.
Lord, send revival!
Shake us until Your standard waves high.
Shake us until spiritual barricades are re-erected.
Shake us until isms and schisms are abandoned for Your way.
Lord, send revival!
Shake us until Your desires become ours.
Shake us until gifts are stirred up, sharpened, and used as intended.
Shake us…
Oh, God help us and send revival!

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
