A before sunrise morning on one of the highest places in Franklin, TN at the office of Iris International, Heidi Baker’s ministry. We went to a meeting called Hour of Power with Barbara Jeter and the Nashville House of Prayer. It was a combination of location and voices that made this morning one I will not forget. From opening worship to the closing words of Will Hart the CEO of Iris Global, the presence of God was identifiable. 

I have been on top of this hill to this house before, my friend Sharon, knows the woman who built it with her husband. The internal walls have over 100 scriptures written in them, the brick pillars that anchor the gate at the entrance has Matthew 28:18 etched in them. The 360 degree view of our city is beyond words to describe and the gathering of the Esthers and Mordecai’s in that room was purely enjoyable. 

Everytime I am on this land the dreamer in me opens up wider than in any other place I stand. Whether it is the unobstructed view or the presence of God on the property, or a combination of both, I love coming here for it takes me beyond my natural thinking to dreaming dreams so much bigger than me. Today was no different. As we sang Shout to the Lord, it brought me back to dreams I was given by the Lord when I was first saved. When I walked the outer perimeter of the land, I lifted my hands and declared dreams only God knows I have. What a morning. 

I pray you lift up your eyes, for everyone is going from apathy to awakening to ambassadors. I am not sure where you are today, but shackles are coming off feet, scales are coming off eyes, and dreams are becoming decrees. And as Will said to Billy Gaines, you were on a tour bus, then you found yourself on a school bus, but God is putting you on tour again, but this time you are going international. Welcome to Beyond, there is no place I would rather be, you all and me.
