🙌It's the Friday Call to Worship!🙌

I texted my husband yesterday and told him I felt sick about an appointment I preparing for. I laid down for 15 minutes, hoping nausea would subside. I was taking my son to see a new specialist, and our last appointment hadn't gone well. We ended up having a very positive experience, and I took note of the lightness inside of me as we traveled home. The moment I walked in the door of our home, however, I felt like I got punched in the gut with that same sick feeling I had before. It dawned on me then. It wasn't the appointment. It was something in our home.

I've been praying for more awareness of God's presence. An increase in spiritual awareness often means your body, mind and spirit are more engaged in what Ephesians 6:12 calls the "unseen world". My body was partnering with my spirit to tell me it was time to put on the armor of God and speak the name of Jesus into our home.

This weekend, I'm teaching a group of moms how to pray over their children's rooms. It was time to practice what I was preaching! I opened every curtain and flooded our home with light. My young children were napping, so I put headphones in and quietly worshiped through our home. I anointed every doorway with oil, prayed and spoke the name of Jesus in every space.

It wasn't hooky or long. It wasn't magical or glorious. It was just a daughter of God connecting her earthly home with her heavenly one. I was cleaning house in the most important way.

I started my getting my heart settled and welcoming the Holy Spirit with Francesca Battistelli's version of "Holy Spirit". Listen today, and ask God increase your awareness of His Presence around you. He loves to make Himself known! (And Cape Town moms, send a message if you want to join us this weekend!)
