A Message to...Well, Any of Us
God started speaking to me while I was commenting on Amy's blog. This is about the waves of repentance that are coming to CFC. (The words in italic are what I felt that the Lord was speaking to us. As I typed it, He was speaking to me. The part that is not italic below was personal experience, so I really don't want to say it's him speaking that. But, as you'll read below, He continued speaking to me after that. Thank you, Lord, for speaking to me this morning.)
You may think it's already started, but the tide has just started to return to the shore. Just wait, in a matter of minutes, maybe hours, the place where you are standing now will be consumed with water and you will have to run from it if you want to continue standing where you are. There is cleansing in the water. Be ready, let it cleanse your feet first. Let it hit your feet so that your feet will sing their own song, "be careful little feet where you go, for the Father up above He is watching us with love, so be careful little feet where you go".
If you have ever been at the ocean when the tides coming in, you know how at first it can seem like it's teasing you...yeah, it's coming but a little slow, then all of a sudden WHOOSH, it's there. It's at this point that it often scares people. This is the point where I feel like God is telling me that there will be some stuck in their sin who will run.
But they won't run far. Those who fear what the waves of repentance could do to them and how it could change their life will not run far. They will go to a safe distance and stand there watching as their castle in the sand is destroyed by the consuming water. They will watch as others beginning dancing in the water. And they, too, will leave their fears behind and come and join us in the water.

Just a little sidenote...
The waves are waves of repentance. The dancing at the end is the freedom that comes when we are able to strip ourselves of our insecurities and truly place our lives in the hands of the Almighthy.
Something that struck me when I read this, is how it kind of hurts for a second when the wave smacks you, and then it just feels awesome. I think that repentence is very much like that. It does hurt at first, but then it's like a refreshing feeling after the initial sting is gone.
Wow, thanks for sharing this. God is really preparing us for that big crashing wave. Let's get our boogy boards ready and make the most out of it.
Thanks Nicky! Your blog has really encouraged me. I am struggling with some depression right now. Something that happens every summer. Love you!

Nicky, I really believe that was words from the Lord. Just because He said similar things to me a few months ago about my life and that is exactly what I have went through.
Nicky, I've always loved standing on the beach and waiting for the waves to hit my feet. To put it in a spiritual sense is exciting. I hope everyone lets these waves hit them and doesn't just play chase with the Spirit. Thank you for sharing these inspired words of God.
