hmmm....

I kept having the verses from Isaiah 61: 1-3 come across me for the past several days ... and then I felt like I was supposed to go back and read through my blog from the time we first arrived here in Florida and then I read this post from last August where I had this weird dream... I don't know what it all means... I am praying into it all again.... 

Here is the post from August:

I have been praying about what my restless leg syndrome means. Like I have mentioned before from reading Andrew Murray's Divine Healing ... everything the Lord gives us - or allows to come into our life is for a purpose. So the restless legs that lead to nights of insomnia on bad nights, and crazy flying all over with the covers on the better nights ... has to be for something - just what is it Lord?

As I was praying about it recently and getting up at night to try and walk out a bit of the leg crazies ... the Lord tied together my restless legs with a dream a friend had about me. Here is the gist of her dream:

You had just come back from a prophecy conference or something like that and you were so excited - glowing and beautiful. And you were especially excited about this new way of praying that you had learned. You wanted to show me, so you laid down on the floor and twisted your legs into a crazy but beautiful position. And it was clear that the strength in prayer came from your legs and this crazy beautiful position could not be achieved by human means.

I have no idea what the fullness of this all means but God specifically brought this to mind and said this dream and my restless legs go together somehow.

So I have been praying into that even more - wondering how it fits. Then one night earlier this week as I was struggling to remain asleep during a bought with my restless legs - I half awoke and recognized the time ... 1 am-ish again. I recognized this is around the time I have been waking regularly and I wondered if that time was important... I still don't know... but I wonder if something is happening somewhere around the world at that time that needs prayer... BUT God DID tell me that time in the middle of the night is training me for something. I definitely heard that I am being trained. Hmmm but for what exactly? Still don't know.

Then last night I woke up again at 1 am-ish and this time I just started praying ... asking God what I am praying for? - what does all this mean? WELL, then I had some crazy dreams about being a rescuer and heard the phrase 'setting captives free'... and heard the word/phrase P.O.W. In one part of the dream that I can remember I was leading a rescue in broad daylight on a children's brothel in some asian country ... dressed in a geisha-like robe and I could tell I was full of the Spirit and unafraid of anyone getting in my way because they were too afraid of the Lord. Sooo crazy stuff - right?

When I awoke this morning, I remembered this verse that I read from Isaiah the night before and found it in 61: 1-3


The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
    for the Lord has anointed me
    to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
    and to proclaim that captives will be released
    and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
    that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
    and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Zion,
    he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
    festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
    that the Lord has planted for his own glory.



Still praying ... we will see what happens tonight.
