Running with the Lord

Written By: John Goyette on December 2, 2009 One Comment

“Draw me after you and let us run together! …” We will rejoice in you and be glad; We will extol your love more than wine.” Song of Solomoon 1:3-5

Running is actually much more than a physical exercise for me. It is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that I find enjoyable. When I run I often cry out to the Lord to strengthen and soften my heart. I want this heart to be strong, of course, to be healthy, but more importantly I want it to be strong so I can run with Him. I want my heart and its arteries to be soft and flexible so that they can pump the blood but it is critical that my heart be sensitive and flexible in His hand.

I find that I am able to hear God’s voice more clearly, and also sometimes receive a Word of Knowledge, promptings for intercession, as well as specific, creative ministry ideas when I am exercising.
Love your blog!

Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's....

I am fascinated with revival and have spent years in the study of the subject. Please check out my new book "The Power of Return" published by Destiny Image.

Throughout my ministry I have participated in and promoted times of revival on a local, state, and regional basis. This blend of practical experience and deep study has prepared me to share the vital message of The Power of Return. It is a message that the church desperately wants and needs to hear. My hope is that this book will spur study and application of the great truths governing revival.
