Dear Partner,

In the summer of 1998, Missy and I were at church when a woman stood up, went to my pastor, George Pearsons, and asked permission to prophesy. She called me out and said, “Thus saith the Lord, ‘I’m going to turn you inside out. I’m going to turn you upside down, and thrust you into your destiny’ (future).”

Do you know what? Over the next several years, He did just that. It was both scary and exciting. It was like “I flipped.” 

From that day, God started rearranging my inner world. He began changing my circumstances and situations. Everything—and I mean everything—flipped. 

“Flip” is our summer destination! 

You see, I believe God is flipping you out—He’s flipping your circumstances—and the summer of ’09 will be known for that. You’ll no longer be on bottom, but you’ll be the one who comes out on top. You’ll no longer be the tail, but the head.¹ 

He’s flipping the situations of all the partners of BelieversWay. He’s arranging them to benefit you. He daily loads us with benefits. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!”

These benefits take you…

…from losing to winning

…from coming in last to being first

…from decrease to abundance

So are you ready to flip out? 

It’s like the Book of Acts Church, where in one day, God flipped it. And everything that has happened to the church in the last 1900 years has fallen short of what God did in that church—in one day. Since then, each move of God has been followed one after another to restore what was stolen and lost.

We still haven’t arrived to that standard—the bar was set so high—but not even that church fulfilled God’s purpose for His people. That privilege has been reserved for us, for those who have been chosen to run the last leg of the race. It’s our future. Like our forefathers, who ran forward and never looked back, what we think of as a normal Christian experience does not hold a candle to what God is about to reveal. 

Flip… 

In the past decade, since God started flipping me, there is nothing that has remained the same—and the best is yet to come. Everything that we know about church life will be flipped, God will touch it within the next few years, and the church will look much differently than it does today!

Start looking for all the things at your local campus that will be flipped this summer. Start looking for ways your own life can be flipped. Look forward to that hot summer day, when you take your kids down to the local community pool—and instead of going for your usual dignified dive—the one everyone expects you to do—

Go ahead—

You can do it…

Do a flip! 

I dare you, and remember this is what God is doing in you! 

Flip ’09!
