Heart Over Head

While we were in the Prayer Room this last weekend a friend came in and told us this story. A man received the prophetic word, "heart over head" one night at a meeting. He didn't really understand what it meant so he asked God to show him. Within the next week his wife went into labor and he rushed her to the hospital to have their baby. When they got there the baby was in distress and the doctor started yelling, "Heart over head! Get her heart over her head!" They got his wife down on her knees with her head on the floor in front of her, rear end in the air. This position cleared the birth canal so the baby could be born. I cannot tell you what an impact this story had on me. It became entirely clear to me that when we humble ourselves and get our hearts over our heads we will receive freedom and new life!

How many times have you tried to "get" something? It always seems like I understand spiritual things in my head but there's some road block between there and my heart. I think I found the key to getting past the road block. Heart over Head. Humility. Surrender. I have known this but now I have a visual and a practice to set it into place. Huge things happened in the Prayer Room when we all found ourselves on our knees with our hearts over our heads. That was the moment my life was changed.
