“Be a waymaker. Now more than ever.

Some time into my summer break, Jesus asked me to put Matthew 3 to song, particularly verses 2, 3, 8, and 10, as well as verses from Isaiah 40, with emphasis on verse 3: “Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for Him!” Now, to be clear, this is not the usual order of things. Ordinarily, the Spirit highlights specific verses in my quiet time that He’d like me to put to music. Requests such as this one are rare, and I know from experience that they are urgent. You know that Project of Love started when I heard His voice say, “Grab your guitar and sing what you’re reading.” Some time after that, Jesus told me that Project of Love would be like a waymaker, preparing the way for Him. Isaiah 55:11 says: “I send it (My Word) out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” And it does. We love hearing about how our songs with the Word have impacted lives around the world. You tell us in your testimonies about healing, about encounters with God’s love, grace, and power, about transformation, and about being filled with His presence. His Word produces fruit. The Spirit showed me a beautiful image about the Word not returning empty. I saw Noah releasing the dove. The first time, the dove came back empty-handed. You know why? It had no place to land. The second time, it returned with an olive leaf. The Word needs a place to land, preferably in a willing heart where it will grow and prosper. Those words need to be carried by the dove, the Holy Spirit, in order to prosper and transform.”
