I don't know if I'm the only one who's been seeing it/hearing it or not. But it seems to me that the Lord is taking myself and many other members of "the Church" here at FaithWriters to another level in Him, a prophetic level that is most obvious in the things you're writing. Which reminds me, one of you even said to me a couple of days ago "He is taking us to another level."

After reading one of your most blessed articles, I left a comment for another of you just a little while ago, something similar to: "I'm going to go to bed on what I just read." Well, I did go to bed. I was nearly asleep when I either heard or dreamed "Trumpeter, keep the mouthpiece readily available at all times, at any given moment." And then, seconds later, "Take your pen even to bed with you so that, truly, you are the pen of a 'ready writer.'"

Of course, I jumped out of bed and located pen and paper. Then, I went back to bed and almost immediately fell asleep. I was asleep maybe an hour. And the following is what woke me up. I don't believe for a moment that it is only for me... not with the way that you all have been writing lately.

Play for me.
Play for me.
Play me a blessed tune.
Play for me.
Play clearly for those who'll hear,
"Your Redeemer is coming to you soon."

Sing for me.
Sing for me.
Sing of my endless love.
Sing for me.
Sing songs proclaiming my grace,
and I will descend on you like a dove.

Sing
"Play for me.
Play for me,
the Savior of mankind.
Play for me
simply because I am yours.
And rejoice simply because you are mine."

Well, it doesn't really seem like much to me here in the middle of the night. In fact, it's pretty "simple." But it's apparently what He wanted heard. So, FELLOW TRUMPETERS, keep those mouthpieces readily available! You just never know the hour or the day (or night)... of His coming or of His command to sound your own trumpet with some special tune that He wants to play THROUGH you.

Notice that the last stanza says "Sing" before it, separately and different from the other stanzas. That's because "play" is used in a different context than it was in the first stanza. I understood "be joyful and playful" when I heard it. In fact, now I see many people, like little children playing, gathered around in a big circle of hands, singing, dancing, laughing...

rejoicing!

Goodnight. Pleasant dreams. Pleasant tones and pleasant tunes.

How beautiful! So simplistic in its message, and yet it is at the heart of God's desire for his children...just sing to him and play for him..with no motive in mind, but to bless him with our singing and our playing...and from that intimacy will come forth new words of life to all who read! You are such a blessing to me and so many others...always ready to encourage someone with your words of love and kindness. May the Lord continue to draw you into his presence to sing to him and play for him!

Joyce: Thank you so much for this article. It blessed me more than words can say! God works with the simple things; he would never give us anything we could not understand!
Through this Christmas season, he has kept me going day after day. We got 31 inches of snow here at my house and God has taught me valuable lessons.
The power of God leaped on me when I read your article! It was like a breath of Spring. Thank you!

A simple song of sweet, yet profound sereniry. Thank you.
