Is Your Face Glowing Yet?

My heart is racing, there are definite butterflies in my stomach, I am nervous but confident... And I'm not confident in myself, I actually battle with convincing myself I am the girl for the job almost right up to the moment I take the stage. The questions are not loud enough to convince me to run out the back door, but they are there nonetheless. Questions like "What am I doing?" "Is this really happening?" "Who do I think I am?" "What if I fail?" "What if I don't?" "What if it really isn't about me at all, and the more ridiculous the more God gets the glory?" Holy Spirit whispers to the critic inside me, "Take the mic and amplify Christ, and preach like you aren't getting invited back!!! Go big or go home! This is the moment for which you were created..."

I share this because many people ask if I get nervous... They ask if I'm always bold and confident, and do I ever doubt... The answer is I struggle with doubt like every other human we will ever encounter! But doubting has never had the power to snuff out the bold confidence I have found in Christ. The truth is I only know I'm called cause it's crazy! It's crazy when I think about how God asked me to plan conferences, to gather His girls, to teach and disciple, and to preach. There are so many ways I feel unqualified and believe me I have the list that disqualifies me right beside it. But God loves to take a willing heart and break the measurements that keep us bound, complacent, stagnant, and comfortable.

This past Saturday was conference THREE for me and the ministry God has given me to steward in this season of my life. Conference Three landed us in a small town with a huge heart, and even bigger faith. And I'm talking about generational faith. This is the kind of faith that prayed in March 7, 2020 decades and even generations before. Mamas rocking their babies all those years ago where present next to their daughters and grandchildren, claiming their part of the promise God made to Sundown. They sat expectant and eager for God to honor what He alone can and will restore back. And boy was God faithful!

Women filled almost every seat, some just to see what all the fuss was about, but I'm sure left feeling the presence of God more real and abundant in their lives. When we began to plan and pray for the Sundown Conference the word and theme for the conference had come almost immediately, I almost thought it was for a future date we had penciled into our books. But when we sat with the team and I told them that God was ready to UNVEIL, I could see that the vision and revelation was for Sundown. God longed to show women that the veil is torn, and that in order to truly see God face to face we have to acknowledge the barriers that keep God hidden and distant have been removed because of what Jesus did on the cross. We can be filled and be in His presence, and have the power and authority that will leave our faces shining and glowing. And when we grab that revelation we can be dangerous!

You see I want to be dangerous. I want to be scary. I want it to be evident that I pray big prayers, and that I trust God so much I'll do radical stuff for His Glory! I want it to look ridiculous that a girl from Lubbock, who didn't get permission to start conferences to teach women about their identity and authority in Christ, has 3 under her belt! I want people to be astonished that an ordinary girl, a housewife, a self proclaimed teacher and preacher, can take the stage and be obedient and real. You see to reach a generation we will have to be real, authentic, not so polished, not so confident, and down right vulnerable, so that they can see God is still doing wondrous things through fallible human beings.

I pray that those of you in attendance on March 7th felt the earth shake, the demons flee, the power of the Holy Spirit reminding us that VEIL is TORN. And I pray that it doesn't stop there. I pray that you move into your rightful position within the body, and that you will stand beside us to usher in the harvest at hand. I pray that you will see that even though we are ordinary, we serve an Extraordinary God. And to Him we give ALL GLORY, HONOR, and PRAISE!

Until we meet again Sundown!!!
