My God, my God. I praise you this morning! Yesterday as I was laying on the table to get a procedure done. I knew that it had hurt very badly the last time I got it done, and I asked the Lord to not let it hurt so much. I am not into pain as you can tell.

Suddenly, as I was crying out for God in that moment, I went into a scene in a vision of the little girls that had been captured by the terrorist. I saw the tears running down their little faces as they faced rape and torture every day. I heard their cries! I laid there with tears running down both sides of my face as I waited on what for me would be over in a few minutes, but for them the pain was daily there unless they were released.

Then, when they are released, they will have to relive the horror all the days of their life. If not for God’s intervention, these girls would face a horrific future. I believe our God has a plan. I believe that these bones can live again. I believe that they have a hope and a future.

Today I woke up to post what the Lord was speaking to me and the news said that we are in some kind of a covert operation to free 200 girls from a Boko Haram camp! Oh glory to God! Could it be that God just lays them on our heart through a vision and then gives us His heart and prays through us with only our tears?

I am not claiming my entering into their sufferings alone caused them to be set free but how many of you have wept for them? I know you have…

I believe that God hears our tears. I believe that He prays His heart through us when He gets our attention! I also believe that these tears and prayers of the saints are being collected in heaven and the bowls are full.

The Angel is pouring them out upon the earth and we are about to hear some thunderings and see some lightning, and hear some voices of those that are crying out for the release of these captives! I also know that when Jesus wept with compassion that what resulted was resurrection life!

Could it be that our weeping will and has brought forth the resurrection of these girls that many considered as good as dead? Oh Glory to God!
