There is a pattern emerging here – first Canada, then King’s Canyon, and now Australia. All Mercy land. All places where I have dedicated albums. Either this is God or I am in a rut!
The dedication of “Life Flow” took place in two different cities, in a simple, yet powerful way. I was in Australia all last week, staying with some dear friends who have been distributors for my materials there. The first few days of my visit were taken up with exploring the area, including an invigorating hike up Mt. Warning, complete with lots of bird sounds – I am assuming there were birds to accompany the sounds but they were well hidden – beautiful tropical surroundings, and rocks to climb. I hear the view is great from the top, but all we saw that day was white. It was like sticking your head into a big wet cotton ball.
On Thursday I took a day trip to Melbourne, bringing the album master with me. I knew there was a patch of land I was to visit, and the album needed to be there. On Friday when I returned to Pottsville, we finished the dedication with prayer and blessing from Brad and Beth, who stood in for the entire nation to impart to the album everything that God desired. As we spent this time together, I was really struck by God’s heart for redemption and restoration. Even though that is not the topic of the album, it is there in every word.
The area of structures is one which the enemy tried hard to ruin. But God’s design and His planning prevailed, and it is blossoming into what He originally made it to be. This is only the beginning. But as the beginning, it represents our Creator’s immense ability to take ground back from the enemy and thump him good for stealing what wasn’t his.
Our Creator is pretty awesome, come to think of it.
I am excited about what is ahead of us. On a more mechanical note, my hope is for the beginning of next week to release the album. There will certainly be a newsletter, and if you don’t already receive it, you may sign up by visiting my website at: www.GoBeyondtheHorizon.com. Click on “News” and then the link for the newsletter.

There is something beautiful about going deep. You are Mercy and have dedicated three products on three Mercy patches of land. Nothing wrong with that.
There is a lot of room for generalists, but since you have vowed to redeem some of the more challenging facets of the Mercy gift, it is certainly logical that God would take you deep in that area.
Very good point on both counts! The going deep definitely resonates, and I certainly have made a vow or two regarding my lovely tribe.
I thought of many congratulatory responses all of which were inadequate, but then the word Godspeed welled up in my spirit and I decided to look it up to see the origin of the word…. Middle English expression “God spede (you)”, a prayer for success and fortune for one setting out on an enterprise, voyage, adventure, or travels”.
As Mercy, part of my spirit is constantly rooting for success in all of your endeavours, somehow feeling inexorably linked to what you are doing and the path you are following.
So my prayer for you is May the grace of the Lord Jesus the Messiah, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and Godspeed in all you do!
Mary-Anne, thanks for the encouragement and blessing. I did not know the definition of “Godspeed” either, and I really resonate to its meaning. So, thank you for taking the time to ferret out the gem that your spirit knew was there!
Very good Megan. That means you may come back to Mercy Norway some time to dedicate an album also :-D. You would be very welcome.
I’m looking forward to listen to “Life Flow” with eager anticipation.
I’d love to come back, and you never know what the future may hold! 🙂
Not a rut! -definitely sounds like Father to me. Way to go with the flow. {sorry pun intended} Looking forward to the release.
