Part One:
Awaken the Dawn

 

The song "Overtaken" by Molly Skaggs  has been resonating in my spirit for about 2 months now. During that time I did the above chalk drawing. It’s finished but I felt like something was still missing. 

In preparing for the Prayer Summit, I asked Father what He wanted me to share. A phrase from the song Overtaken kept coming back to me. “I’m coming out of the night, stepping into the glorious light.” Hmmm….coming out of the night is like coming out of a cave.

Below is "Awaken the Dawn" (Part One) overlaid with a cave for the final piece (Part Two) "Coming Out of the Night, Stepping into the Glorious Light"

I sensed this is what the Father is saying to us.  “Come out of your cave.  Step into the glorious light to be a light.  I want you to awaken the dawn.  Your worship will awaken the dawn,  first in your heart, then it will 
greet the world with My songs of Light!  Songs of hope.  Songs of deliverance.  Songs of beauty.  My songs will pour over the nations like a river.  Be a light!  Be a light!  You’re coming out of the night, stepping into the glorious Light.”

I would encourage you to spend time with this painting, while listening to the song “Overtaken by Molly Skaggs.” Let God transport you into His presence and hope.

Short Poem
by Coleen Punter

Hope has spoken.  Awakening us from the dark.
A sweet kiss of good morning.
Cool refreshment as she washes off the the night.
Cloaking us in fine vestments of Praise and slipping our feet into Peace.
She pours oil of Joy on our faces and declares the day Beautiful.
