Are You Looking?

GOD has given US-HUMAN BEINGS so MUCH to be THANKFUL for! Sadly, we so often look over all of those things. How hard would it be and what would it take to be consistently looking for ways God has blessed us?

Jesus wants to be intimately involved in every area of my life... So what does that and what will that look like on my part? What about your part?

Maturity comes with time from a heart deeply rooted in God's.

I believe HE wants us to enter into a fellowship with Him that we have yet to know...You know?

There is nothing else in this life worth giving all to, other than the knowledge of God... That is the knowing of who He is, what He is like, and walking intimately daily.

:) I love Him.

and I also love Cynthia....just in case she reads this

Thank you Jesus.

Amen.

Living by Faith and not the Law

-Meditation-

Galatians 3:1-14

-Breaking it Down-

This whole passage is all about living by faith and believing in Jesus compared to observing the law. A few things I first think about when I read this passage is, honestly, how much I have tried to be a "Good Christian" by observing the law. Really and truly some of my biggest struggles(so far) that I have had to overcome is the very thing of believing the Lord loves me, not because of what I do, but because of who He is. There is nothing I could do bad or good that could cause Him to love me more or less. For some reason I have had this mindset that I had to earn His love by what I do, but He has shown me that no matter what I do He loves me the same. Because of this I follow His ways and do things for Him not because I am trying to earn His love or impress Him, but because I LOVE HIM and realize HE LOVES ME. When love is the motive, and love is the reason, and whatever I am doing is an act of love....and not so much me trying to impress God or others it becomes a JOY.

I would encourage you to set aside time to just let the Lord search you for anything in you that is against His Word and His work in order to cause you to come closer to Him.

Psalm 37:23-24

²³ The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
²⁴ Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.

Best Love

-Meditation-

Song 1:1

Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth(Word)-for Your love is BETTER than wine(worldly pleasures)

Your LOVE is BETTER than WINE.

-TheSecretPlace-

It will not take any person long to realize that all that the world has to offer, no matter how much you get of it, will not satisfy, and it does not take a whole hearted believer of Jesus long to realize that He is the only one who can and WILL SATISFY their(and our) every desire. The reason the world tries to find things and do things that will satisfy is because they have not found and they even refuse to find satisfaction in the only one who satisfies. The world hates Jesus, who is righteous in all He does. Receiving a righteous God as King, Bridegroom, Lover, or Judge is something this world will always refuse to do. Surely there will always be people who love wickedness, who would love for you to love wickedness as well. While this may be true we as the people of God must remain faithful to the Lover of our souls. His LOVE, who He is, is the only thing that can satisfy if we let Him love us. His love is the most EXCITING INTIMATE DEVOTED love.

God's Desire

So I was thinking about how God is love the other day, and how He loves us with everything He is, has, and does. The Lord really gave me a cool way of looking at how we function as lovers of God, satisfying the desire of His heart.

We satisfy our Father as children, Jesus as His Bride, and Holy Spirit as friends. We are to be lovers of God overall, and I just love that. This is our identity-It is only found in the Love of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

His Presence Brings Delight

-Meditation-

Song of Songs 2:3b

With great DELIGHT I sat in His shadow

The Hebrew word for delight in this verse is hamad: Desire, delight in, to be pleasing, be desirable. To delight.

--The Secret Place--

What does it mean to have, or take, great delight in something or someone? Delight is the state of enjoyment, and pleasure, that which every heart longs for. Happiness. Gladness. Joy. Love. These are all emotions that cause delight to come to the human heart, and only God can cause TRUE DELIGHT to come to our hearts. With great delight I sat in His shadow. I believe this is a picture of what our time with the Lord looks like. The Lord's 'shadow' is His presence in the secret place whether we feel it or not, He sees in secret, and He is in the secret place waiting and longing for us to come. He wants us to come, sit(rest) at His feet, pouring out all of our LOVE on Him, and receiving the Love He has for us. The delight He has for us releases His own delight into our hearts, causing us to be filled with the fullness of joy in the good times and in the bad times. The Lord is sending out an invitation to every heart, hungry, thirsty, dull, and alive to sit at His feet, with Him where He is, and be filled with the delight of His heart for them. Will we sit in His shadow today and let Him be our delight??

I want to encourage you to let God love you. He looks past the stars in the universe, and He looks past the planets in motion, past the sky, and past the vast oceans through the trees, and big cities looking for people who love Him, and people who are willing to let Him love them. The eyes of the Lord look to and fro across the earth seeing if there are any who seek God, any who understand. Psalm 14:2.

We are dark, but lovely. Song 1:5

We are beautiful!!! Song 1:15; 4:1

We have captivated the Kings heart! And our love, weak and broken, is better than wine. Song 4:9-10

Let Jesus drench you with the way He feels about you! HE LOVES YOU WITH ALL OF HIS HEART!!!! Only when we know how He loves us are we strengthened to love Him with all we are.(1 John 4:19)

---Intercession---

I want to charge you all to pray through the Song of Solomon, and declare what the Lord says about you over yourself, and also over your family, friends, school, church, and generation.

We ask the Spirit of truth to lead us and guide us into all truth. He is faithful to complete the work He has started within our hearts, and lives.

Jesus I love you, and I just pray for every heart struggling to receive what you say, and what You think about them, and I just pray that you would make it abundantly clear how you feel about them to them, and that you would give them hearts to receive Your love.

Lord You are worthy of all of our praise, and all of the glory. We love You Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. In Your Name. Amen

Forerunners Announce The Second Coming of Jesus

Today’s hollow programs, prayerlessness, and preaching of a false gospel of cheap grace will not prepare believers for the coming revival of glory or the encroaching storm of darkness. There is a great need for the prophetic voice of forerunners who will speak with clarity into the confusion.

Forerunners announce the second coming of Jesus as well as the great revival and pressures that are directly related to His return. Forerunners emphasize Jesus’ second coming, while proclaiming and manifesting the power of Jesus’ first coming as they win the lost, heal the sick, help the poor, and walk in love and holiness. We will develop this more in other sessions.

The Spirit is preparing forerunners from many streams in the Body of Christ worldwide. At onething 2008 5,000 young adults made the 7 commitments of a forerunner that is called the Sacred Charge. The forerunner calling is not reserved for the elite; it is available to anyone who wants it.

End-time forerunners can find inspiration and instruction from New Testament forerunners like John the Baptist, the first apostles, and the seventy disciples, who all announced the first coming of Jesus to their generation (Mt. 10:5-8; Lk. 9:1-2; 10:1). John the Baptist functioned as a forerunner by announcing the coming of Jesus as well as the glory and pressures that would result from it in that generation (Lk. 3:3-9, 16-18).

The apostles functioned as forerunners in two ways. First, they announced the first coming of Jesus to the cities of Israel (Lk. 9:1-6). Second, they proclaimed the second coming of Jesus and the resulting glory and pressures (Acts 3:19-21; 2 Pet. 3; 1. 4-5; 2 Thes. 1-2; Rev. 6-19).

Today’s forerunners will imitate the message of John the Baptist and the apostles by proclaiming the first coming of Jesus and the salvation accomplished by it, as well as proclaiming the second coming of Jesus and the unique dynamics created by events that will accompany it.

Forerunners will imitate the lifestyle of John and the apostles as they pray, fast, and go deep in the Word, while at the same time winning the lost, healing the sick, making disciples, church planting, and operating in the power of the Spirit to meet the needs of people. As they proclaim the Word and do the works of the kingdom, they glorify Jesus and deliver the oppressed; by the very same activity they are being prepared for even more in the years ahead.

The Sacred Charge has set up these 7-easy to remember-commitments of a forerunner, which take time and effort. Here they are:

§ Pray Daily: connecting with God while changing the world by releasing His power.

§ Fast Weekly: positioning ourselves to receive more from God by fasting two days a week.

§ Do Justly: being zealous for good works of compassion and justice that exalt Jesus as we
impact the seven spheres of society.

§ Give Extravagantly: experiencing the joy of financial power encounters as we sacrificially
give to the kingdom and support the prayer movement.

§ Live Holy: living fascinated in the pleasure of loving God that overflows to loving people.

§ Lead Diligently: taking initiative to minister to others and make disciples by regularly leading
in outreaches, prayer meetings, and Bible studies.

§ Speak Boldly: being a faithful witness of the truth with allegiance to Jesus’ Word.

These seven commitments are not a comprehensive list covering the entire Christian life—they are a few practical activities that will prepare us to walk out the forerunner ministry. These seven commitments are cultivated step by step, day by day, year after year. We cannot treat them as optional, as activities to do when they are convenient and when nothing else is going on. We are to see them as sacred, or valuable to us, even when other opportunities come our way. Will you be one who responds in a wholehearted way? Will you set your heart to say yes?

Forerunners must hear what the Spirit is saying to them in this hour and act on it. It is time for them to seek to live with a new depth of obedience and responsiveness to the Spirit. Even in this hour, the Lord is now calling some to embrace a season of rigorous preparation that will equip them to more effectively proclaim the forerunner message in the midst of the coming pressures.

I want to challenge you to ask the Lord how He wants you to partner with Him as a forerunner(or as I like to say a harbinger) in this hour of need for revival, and awakening. Your partnership matters to Him, and He acts on behalf of your prayers. He does many things for those who ask that He wouldn't have done if they did not ask. Examine your life, and change areas that need changing. Surrender the things in your heart, and in your life that you are clinging to. Right now is the best time for you to surrender, and then continue to walk out your surrender by keeping your hands off of what is now the Lord's. He will take your grief, sadness, heaviness, and ashes and He will give you Beauty, Joy, and garments of praise. It really is the divine exchange of love. So why hold on when you were meant, and you need to let go! =]

Lord Jesus thank you so much for all who are reading this. I ask Father in the Name of Your Son would You make your Name known to Your Bride. I thank you that You do act for those who wait for You(Is.64:4). We love You so SO MUCH LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Jesus' Name. Amen

The Greatest Revival In All Human History

We stand at a critical juncture in our nation’s history. The Holy Spirit is visiting His people with power as darkness continues to increase. The light is getting brighter as the darkness is becoming darker. The onslaught of darkness is increasing in our classrooms, boardrooms, courtrooms, and bedrooms. The Spirit is speaking clearly and many are responding with wholeheartedness.

² Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. (Isa. 60:2)

The greatest revival and crisis in history is soon to come. It is darkest before the dawn and so our hearts remain full of faith. We know that a great awakening is soon to sweep across the nations. We look with confidence to God’s promises to pour out His Spirit on all flesh to empower His people to bring the gospel to all nations. What a privilege to live in this awesome hour of history!

¹⁷ It shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams…¹⁸ I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy…

²⁰ before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. (Acts 2:17-20)

¹⁴ This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Mt. 24:14)

⁹ I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne… (Rev. 7:9)

The Spirit is speaking about this outpouring and crisis. We are already in the early days of the great end-time outpouring of the Spirit. In this great revival the Spirit will release the miracles seen in the book of Acts and the book of Exodus combined and multiplied on a global scale.

Consider the crisis that is at hand. The nations are living under the threat of natural disasters, terrorism, lawlessness, and war (Mt. 24:4-12). Radical Islam is growing more intolerant as they seek global domination while Western governments are growing more tolerant as they legalize perversion and darkness. The result is that fear is quickly becoming more and more prevalent.

²⁶ Men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things… (Lk. 21:26)

Abortion continues to kill 4,000 babies each day in America. The sanctity of marriage has come under siege, threatening to destroy the moral foundations of our nation. Sexual immorality, both heterosexual and homosexual, is reaching epic heights of depravity, with easy access to pornography via the Internet and the hyper-sexualization of our culture promoted by the media. Entire school systems are giving way to this darkness. The number of women and children being trafficked in the sex industry is growing at an alarming rate. The list could go on and on.

There is another growing crisis that is emerging in many churches across America. A new wave of confusion is systematically seducing young adults into deception. Sincere believers, once ablaze for Jesus, are being allured into compromise on biblical truths and practices.

The true danger of this new kind of “Christianity” is obscured by the works of compassion and justice that its followers are engaged in. There is no amount of ministry activity that can “balance out” the profound spiritual compromises that many are embracing. They are doing more and more in the name of justice and compassion, but less and less in the name of Jesus. In the name of tolerance they are settling for politically correct theology that trivializes Jesus’ glory. Our works of compassion and justice must flow from allegiance to Jesus and His Word.

A theological crisis is emerging across America that will perplex many who will be unable to discern between truth and deception (1 Tim. 4:1-3). The Scriptures are clear that many will fall away and depart from the faith in the midst of the crisis, as fear, offense, and deception abound (Mt. 24:9-13; Lk. 21:26; 2 Thes. 2:3; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; 4:3-5; 2 Pet. 2:1-3).

The greatest revival in America’s history is coming even as our nation stands on such precarious footing. The onslaught of darkness is increasing in our classrooms, boardrooms, courtrooms, and bedrooms. Confusion is pouring forth from many pulpits and from the halls of Washington. It is time for the uncompromising voice of forerunners to speak clearly in the midst of so much confusion. Yes, it is time to draw a line in the sand and to take a bold stand for truth.

We live in a very significant hour of history. I believe we are in the time described in the Scripture as the “beginning of sorrows,” or “the beginning of birth pains,” that precedes the Great Tribulation (Mt. 24:4-8, 21). The Bible tells us that during the Great Tribulation, sin will become fully ripe with unprecedented and unimaginable levels of sin (Rev. 14:18).

²¹ They did not repent of their murders, sorceries, sexual immorality or their thefts. (Rev. 9:21)

I want to encourage you to search out the Word of God concerning the End-Times. We MUST be prepared to stand as faithful witnesses in these final days, months, and years before our Lord Jesus comes back. The world, and the powers of darkness are challenging believers across our nations and the nations of the earth to deny our Lord, but we must remain faithful, standing on the truth of the Word of God and the LORD our God who is our ROCK that cannot be broken.

Lord I thank you for this honor to partner with you in intercession in these last days as you begin to pour out your Spirit. We ask you Father, in the Name of Your Son Jesus, that you would pour out your Spirit on all flesh that our sons and daughters would prophesy, that the young men would see visions and the old men dream dreams. Do what Your heart desires Dad. We love You so much! God would You write Your Word on our hearts as we search it out. In Jesus' Holy Name. Amen and Amen

Jesus we love you!
