Tsunami of Love
I was walking along the beach right where the sand and ocean waves meet. I had my eyes down searching the sand for treasure when all of the sudden sirens began to sound. I knew it was a Tsunami siren and I looked up to see chaos all around me. People were in a panic. They were screaming, shouting, grabbing their items and running away from the ocean. Not one person looked up from what they were doing to survey their surroundings. Not one person offered to help anyone else. It was each man, woman and child for themselves.
With all the pandemonium going on around me, I felt at peace. I turned away from all the chaos and people to face the ocean and looked heavenward and lifted my hands in the air. I began to pray and praise God. I was singing “More than anything Jesus, I just want you! ….”
I’m caught up in Your presence
I just want to sit here at Your feet
I’m caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
Oh, I’m not here for blessings
Jesus, You don’t owe me anything
More than anything that You can do
I just want You
(Nothing Else by Cody Carnes)
I continued to stand, arms raised to the sky, singing. I looked out to the ocean and saw the Tsunami wave on the horizon. I knew it was too late to try to run, and yet I didn’t feel the need to run. I felt compelled to stand my ground. The peaceful feeling never left me as the huge wall of water several stories high came rushing right towards me. Then I heard a whisper coming from heaven. It was hard to hear over the pandemonium unless you were intently listening for it. It said: “I am sending a Tsunami of My Love.”
Just as the skyscraper tall wave began to bend downwards towards me to crash against the beach, where I stood, I immediately sat up in bed gasping for air.
My heart was racing, and I realized, it was only a dream, yet it felt so real. I could hear the roaring ocean, the siren alarm and people screaming. The panic in the air was palpable. I felt the misty ocean breeze on my face as the wind rushed by. Drops of water had been falling on me and I was fully drenched before the wave even hit the shore.
Once fully awaken from this dream and all else was silent and still, I heard the phrase again, “I am sending a Tsunami of My Love.” It was louder this time and not just a whisper.
This dream encounter occurred back in April right after Easter. I haven’t talked very much about it to anyone as I have sought the Lord regarding more of His message.
Sometimes God gives us a glimpse of what is to come so we can pray over it and pray into it.
Sometimes He shows us things so we can position ourselves to receive and not miss what He is doing.
Sometimes He gives us advance notice so we can share it with others and we can prepare our hearts.
Cry for Revival
God’s people are crying for revival. We long to see Him come rushing in with His fire and power like revivals of old. We long to see Him pour out His Spirit and have miracles, signs and wonders occur. We desire for people to come into the Kingdom of God and be born again.
Yet revival will not come until we get our hearts right with God and with one another. We need to get our eyes off the natural and turn them heavenward.

We need to stop looking out for only ourselves and looking towards the needs of others. We must not panic or become distracted when warning alarms are sounding around us. We must resist joining in the chaos and pandemonium. Instead we need to trust and seek the voice of God and hear what He has to say. We need to stand in our position as sons and daughters. We need to position ourselves before the Lord so we can receive His love and release it to the world.
Jesus taught the greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:36-40)
God is sending a tsunami of His love. It will begin in the west and spread across the nation. It’s a love so powerful that we only have eyes for Him and His Kingdom. We will set aside our agendas and our desires. We will set aside our prejudices and get swept away by Him. As we stand in His presence, peace will flow. As we position ourselves before the Lord, this wave will not destroy us, but we will be caught up and carried away in His love.
God's love will transform us and the world around us. Share on X
Yes, a revival is coming, a revival of His love. God’s love will transform us and the world around us.This revival of love is the first wave of revival. We must stand our ground, stay at peace and listen.
A great harvest of souls for the Kingdom will follow. But it must first start with individuals and our hearts. Our hearts must be for the Kingdom of God and not against. Our hearts must be for unity and not division. Our hearts must be filled with love, His love.
A Tsunami of His Love is coming! Are you ready?

Here is the full song, I was singing in my dream as I stood waiting for the Tsunami wave to overtake me.

YouVersion 7-Day Devotional
I am blessed and honored to have a 7-day devotional on the YouVersion Bible App. YAY!!! It is a great way to kick start the 7- days before my on-line Bible Study starts next week. I would be so blessed if you would check it out and share it with your friends. You can find it here: Be The Gift Someone Needs Today!
Have you had the opportunity to read my new book “The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement: Hearing the Words of God for others.” ? This book is about learning to hear the voice of God in our own life so we can respond to those God bumps and little nudges He gives us on a daily basis. God is calling us to be agents of encouragement and to be the gift the worlds needs today.
We live in a time, where those around us are in desperate need of a real encounter with Jesus and in need of encouragement. We are called to encourage one another daily (Hebrews 3:13), and to build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11). My book will teach you how to step out and do just that.
To order your copy today: You can find it at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, OR your favorite online retailer, Plus, newly added, you can now get a signed copy from me. Click Here to order yours today!
We all have the opportunity to #BeTheGift of encouragement others need today.
Do you wonder if God still speaks today? Do you wonder if He would ever speak to you personally? Do you long to hear the voice of God in your life?
Have your read other books on hearing from God, but long for hands on practical application? or are you looking for ways to move you forward hearing from God?
If you answered YES to any of those questions, then I have exactly what you need. I now have an online e-course designed to equip you in understanding that God still speaks today, and He longs to speak directly to you, through His word, and others. He longs to encourage you, strengthen you and comfort you. The training on this site, is fully based on Scripture, and taken from my training manual Releasing God’s heart through Hearing His Voice.
God is speaking, Can you Hear Him?
d2htrainging.com membership site is open, I invite you to check it out today, and develop a deeper relationship with the Lord, as you learn to hear Him speak to your heart.

That’s one breath-taking image that came to you in your dream, and all my heart can find to say in response is this: “Lord, let it be so.”
Michele – the images in this dream has definitely stuck with me. I so agree with you – Lord let it be! Blessings
I agree with Michele. Yes. Lord, let it be so.
My heart is in agreement with you both Janis! 🙂
Amen! And let it begin with me!
I’ve been fascinated by this song lately too. I crave that relationship.
The other song I keep playing is
Holy Spirit you are welcome here, come fill this place and flood the atmosphere!
Aryn – AMEN – Let it begin in me too! I have been enamored with Raise a Hallelujah lately – but I also love Holy Spirit you are welcome here! Thanks for sharing what God is doing in you and what songs have been on your play list. Music is such a powerful thing to set the tone and atmosphere – it gets our hearts to the right place so God can enter and fill us ! Blessings
What a powerful post, Debbie. I was hoping this was in fact a dream as I read the introduction. God sending a Tsunami of love is such a comforting thought. And oh how I pray for revival and I like how you tied the two together. I pray to stand in my position, stand my ground in the Lord, and help spread the love of Christ!
Thank you Karen! When I woke up, I was so glad it was a dream too – but it felt so very real. It was powerful and God got His message across to my heart loud and clear. I am agreeing with you and praying to stand in my position and stand my ground so the Lord can sweep across the land with a Tsunami of His love! Come Lord Jesus, Come! Blessings
“We need to get our eyes off the natural and turn them heavenward.” Yes, Debbie, this always helps set things right. Colossians 3:1, 2 “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
Lisa, you are so right – looking to heaven does indeed set things right. God has been speaking to me lately about these verses in Col too. Thanks for sharing them and aslo for the confirmation regarding my need to press in to study these verses more. Blessings
That imagery is so powerful. Thank you for sharing your vision. laurensparks.net
Thank you Lauren and you are most welcome…. The dream was pretty powerful back in April and it hasn’t left me even today. Blessings
Wow, Debbie! I’m ready. May His kingdom come and His will be done!
Thank you sharing this beautiful picture.
Hugs,
Tammy
You are most welcome Tammy! I am ready too!!! Hugs back
He is definitely pouring out His Spirit isn’t He? Waves of grace and peace, and a tsunami of love. And the healing rain has been a mist, a drizzle, it may be about to pour. Thanks, Debbie.
Yes Rebecca, He is! I so agree – pour it out Lord, pour it out. Blessings and you are most welcome!
Amen! It has to begin with *US* as guided by *HIM*!
Yes Lord, Show us the way and we will walk in it. Let it begin with US ! Thanks Anastasia!
Dear Debbie, a tsunami of love…what a powerful image of God’s amazing love for His kids! And what a challenge to peaceably stand still and watch it wash over me. God must love and trust you a great deal, Debbie, to share such a vision with you. Thanks and blessings for sharing with us!
Thank you Alice. I felt such love and peace in the dream even when I was surrounded my chaos, it was very real too. Thanks for taking the time to read and share your thoughts with me. 🙂 Blessings
Thank you so much for sharing! This was amazing and such a call to my own heart. I so want to be all that He wants me to be and I want all of Him!
Thanks for linking up @LiveLifeWell!
Blessings,
Amy
Oh Amy, you are most welcome, I am so grateful God gave me the dream so I could share it with others.
What a powerful image and message. May we be ready to spread His love far and wide.
Blessings to you, Debbie.
Thank you Marva 🙂 It was such a powerful dream at the time and even now all these month later. I agree, may we be ready. Blessings
I found myself gasping with you as you woke up from your dream. I am in a season of wanting nothing more than for God to come again. Your vision of a tsunami of love seems to be a beginning and it speaks of the hope of the love that is to come.
Mary, I completely understand the season you are in. I too think the vision speaks of the love and hope that is to come! Blessings
I was pondering your dream and thinking that some people will be swept up in His love and some will be swept away when they don’t receive and respond to His love. I think the great and terrible day of the Lord that the Bible speaks of is near.
Elizabeth, that is such great insight. I like what you commented and how you saw people being swept away in his love or not. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I so appreciate it. 🙂
Debbie! I LOVE this dream!! Wow, what an image to carry with you. Thank you for sharing it!
And thanks for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week! 🙂
WOW!!! Thank you so much Richella! I so appreciate being featured. Blessings
