In the midst of cyclone aftermath, Heidi Baker stood on a pile of mud, unaware that people were buried beneath her. Her heart broke. She was overwhelmed. Suddenly, God spoke, asking her a question: “Heidi Baker, who are you?” She was surprised to understand the fuller meaning that God meant with His question.
We are drawn to the tangible, easily concerned about an uncertain future. In trying times, God wants to draw us in to His macro narrative and leave our myopic tendencies. “Don’t be freaked out by the fact that the Lord is mixing it up here,” Heidi Baker encourages us. God is waking people up to the reality that it’s not about the person on the podium at the pulpit. We are all called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, knowing that earthly shaking brings a great harvest.
Heidi Baker retells the story of the Good Samaritan. She brings new ideas to light in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and other suffering taking place in the world today.
Heidi Baker had a vision of headless chickens running around, spurting blood everywhere they went. They were dead, disconnected to the lifeline. “We need to see with the eyes of eagles,” she says. It’s time for all believers to snap out of lethargy and rise up and join God’s mission!
