Onething.

Onething I ask of the LORD, and this is what I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon His beauty and to seek Him in His temple...

I am going to be at the Onething conference due to the LORD is good. I will not be posting this week, but I will when I get back. I am praying for you and want to encourage you to check out the free webstream of the conference. It will be good! Bless you guys I love you, and more importantly Jesus loves you!!! 

Merry Christmas!!!!! I am thinking about just how amazing this day is, to celebrate Jesus' first coming, and to think of how He is doing a new thing and this is the time to prepare ourselves for His second coming. He's not a baby in a manger anymore, He's not a broken man on a cross! He is going to come in His glory, because He is the man in the glory. Right now I think of all those who don't have homes like mine, and how blessed I am to have been born into my family. This reminds me to pray, this Christmas is different for me, I am viewing things in new ways, in refined ways, in humble ways. When we look at things in old, prideful ways like those of the Pharisees, we are filled with bad, but when we look with thankful hearts, we are blessed with all of the spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

I want to encourage us to pray for those who are in need, ask the LORD if He has it for you to give yourself in any way, or to give your money, ask Him how He wants you to bless Him today,  no matter what ends up under the tree on Christmas morning, whether it is a lot, or none at all--- We are equally blessed in Christ. And He is our portion.

Be Blessed today!!

Well today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas. I haven't had so much time to do much today, but i just want to say that when we are fully engaged with Jesus and heaven 24/7 ---which is completely possible---- our days somehow end up being wonderful no matter what happens throughout the day. Be blessed, i love you guys, and may the LORD take you from glory to glory. much love to you!!!!

The LORD has been showing me lately how important Love is, because He is LOVE.... So you have to know that, that is kinda really important. I opened up to 1 Corinthians 13 today, and the LORD was just showing me some things I never took into consideration about the chapter, and I began to think about all of the things it lists. One verse says "If I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love then I have become a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal." So I began to think of the hundreds and thousands of people who can speak in tongues(and of course I don't know them but I know there are a lot of people who can) and I wonder if they all are just completely consumed with the fire of His love. I wonder how many gongs and clanging cymbals there are. As a church people have taken on the prophetic, as a church people have taken on character, and there is so much separation, it's like Baptists are afraid of Pentecostals, when we all are in need of one thing. 

Maybe if we had love corporately we would be unified, maybe if we would take our eyes and look at love in the face we would be changed. These things make me think, these thoughts can start fire, or cause division. It is our choice to love, and I am not saying at all that there is anything wrong with "this" or "that" denomination I am saying it is time for all of the body of Christ to cry out and repent. It is time to fast and pray and weep between porch and alter. It is time to contend for the sake of LOVE. It is time to believe in God to send the rains of revival. Jesus is coming quickly, and we are the only ones who choose how to prepare ourselves. We have all sinned, and we have time to cry out for mercy. So let's cry out.

Let's take these next few days to challenge the powers and principalities of darkness in this city, it is our job to declare war on anything that hinders love.

What does your heart say about this? 

What does the Word say about this??

Think about this for the rest of the day today, and do indeed declare war. Decide to be happy instead of sad, to be glad and not mad, we control our emotions. 

May the LORD bless you today!!

First thing's first.

I am sorry for posting so late, I have been busy today. Sunday's are usually pretty busy for me. It is in my heart to just share with you that the LORDS plans for you are so much more amazing than you know. His heart is just longing for you to know Him. Sometimes, I just sit before Him, and I say something like "God, I feel like you don't even know how much I want YOU!!" and then I think, and correct myself, saying like, "Um, actually I don't think I know how much you want me...." my bad. He is the most passionate, most loving, most amazingly wonderful God we couldn't have asked for, because our minds don't think that outside the natural.

Don't you want to know that love? I was also thinking about how I want to reach my full potential with Him, and just wondering how He has for me to do that. Because everything in life right now for me is so hectic, time is flying by, and I feel like sometimes lose myself in all of it, but thank goodness at the end of the day I find myself in Him. I can't imagine how horrible life would be without Him. 

So many people are missing out and it is a sad thing! I can't imagine how God feels about them, I mean His heart is so burdened for His children. 

And there is something we can do about it. 

LOVE....Love is an action verb word.

Its sometimes our option, and its the way to go.

Hello friends!!! I want to acknowledge that Christmas is coming up, and that means a lot of things.... Every time I go tout shopping with my Mom, or with friends I just get a little sad; It's like so many people are living for the wrong things, and you can just see materialism. Our culture is material driven, and so many people are okay with that, it is in the church, in the schools, and maybe it  is even in your own home. One thing I know for sure is, and many others have learned the hard way, is that ONLY GOD can satisfy, there is a scripture in the Psalms that says "As a deer pants for water, my soul pants for you" something like that, and when I think about this I think about how if deer do not get water they die, so when we are filled with the Holy Spirit we won't die(like our spirit-person, there will come a point when we will die), and I think of the things of this earth that we try to get satisfied with, I consider them acid, so no wonder people who find their fill in material things find themselves in even more pain and confusion and hurt, not to mention depression than before. A lot of times, I realize that the only thing we can ever do is pray, and a lot of people are losing their zeal for prayer, so many are forgetting that our God, who is bigger than anything and everything, listens to us when we make ourselves weak and pray, when we realize that their is nothing we can do by our own strength. The way of God is voluntary weakness, I am trying with all that I am to be humble, and to spend my time wisely, and it is a hard thing to accomplish sometimes, but it all counts. Our prayers matter to Him. So I want to encourage you this week of Christmas, to let, and allow the hunger and thisrt for righteousness overcome you, I encourage you to press into God's heart, and love Him, and spend time with Him. He is so wonderful!! I love you guys, I hope you are blessed today.

Oh Happy Day!!

Well, school is officially out, yay!! A calling is going forth, I think, and the LORD is raising up a people so radically devoted to prayer and fasting, and a people so after His heart, that His response will be to us an outpouring of His Holy Spirit. I believe the NUMBER ONE thing to wake up the church in Dothan is to pray against spiritual blindness, I believe that spiritual blindness is the number one factor for the death in the church. There is no other name for is the church is sleeping, and completely unaware of the time we are in, if the church was not unaware you would hear about the end-times, and how we are to prepare ourselves in a time such as this. There is no getting around it, we need a baptism of the Holy Spirit with fire DESPERATELY! We need Him, and it is time to STOP ignoring it and bring it out into the light. God Almighty is raising up messengers, and Nazarites. I was praying last night for all the students who have at least a tiny bit of desire for revival----a REAL REVIVAL!-----and the LORD was showing me He has set apart people to do His will in the schools, and only those who have been set apart can fulfill their own destiny, they can't hire people to do it and God won't let someone who isn't anointed to do it. If I have been set apart to do this blog, I can't just hire someone to get the revelation the LORD has given me through a dictionary, or an instruction manual.

It is time to step it up, and to take a stand. NOT JUST A STAND TO BE DIFFERENT, a stand to be radical for God, for real. So many people and especially youth strive to be different, but we are called to be transformed. We are called to be set apart and holy to the LORD, and by our devotion to Him will we be different not by trying to be different. He has set apart for HIMSELF messengers, and prophets, and singer, musicians, and lovers of God. 

Let's take Dothan together.

Busy, but not too busy.

These past few days has been pretty rough, it has been so busy, and tiredsome. Life really is a test, but it is short. And the most important thing is, I think, is that even though everything is very hectic, I still find rest in God alone. He completely and totally understands everything about me, and everything I am going through. I think it is most definitely the north and  south winds blowing on my garden, but hey! I asked for it =]. It is all really to know Him more, and to see His glory. I thought this morning during the prayer meeting, about how His grace and how He has so much of it for me, and my life. Like right now, I have a lot of spanish homework to get to, and that isn't too fun, but He is with me when I go throughout my day. I feel led to say that because school is getting out this week to really spend your time carefully, and that what we do in secret is seen by the Father! 

Be blessed today!!!

Time with YHWH

The most important time of the day. If we desire a living, deep relationship with our creator, then we must, MUST MUST! Have our daily time with Him. We have to come back for more and more. I have been thinking about how poorly I treat my time with Him some times, and I think automatically think sometimes about other people I know and my thoughts are "why is it so easy for them!??"
And then I get slapped around alot, and sometimes I end up going through a tough season in my life, and you know at times, even though we are still going after God supposively and we are just around we begin to kinda forget who we are, or who we have in us. So I am going to suggest this to you, every single morning of every single day, I want to challenge you when you wake up, for the first thing you do say OUT LOUD----I am in love with GOD and GOD is in love with me!--Usually I add on to it, stuff like "I am His and He is mine" "I am your garden enclosed" I am the one you have chosen to do Your will on the earth" You have plans for me" I speak Jeremiah 29:11 or just other scriptures declaring who I am in Christ. I believe that our generation has a terrible identity crisis going on, we are letting the enemy steal our identities. WE MUST SAY NO!!! That is why I am going to be doing this, honestly I just started that this morning, and we need this to go through our day, God isn't mad at us He is in love with us and glad over us! Although sometimes He is mad, but He doesn't want us to wake up with the thoughts and declarations "God is angry, God is in a bad mood so I better not bother Him" Those are lies. Sometimes His anger arouses, but at evil things.

Bless you Beloved of God!!

They wouldn't let me get the other podcast by mike bickle and allen hood, soooooo HERE IS THIS ONE YAY!!!!

The Lord has been revealing me lately just how through prayer and fasting we come to know Him much deeper, and I know that's probably a duh thing to most of you reading this blog. He so delights in us when we sacrifice things that are important to us and we give them to Him. He is showing me how to not let my feelings characterize my heart, and not letting my emotions control my actions, which is pretty important. I have been thinking alot about the house of prayer lately, and everything going on  with it, and I do believe that this is the move of God so many have been praying for. Let's continue to press into Gods heart for Dothan. I think Dothan is a spiritually blind city, and if we can bind that blindness and loose eyes to see and ears to hear, there is no telling what God would do. I have been praying a long time for breakthrough with some personal things, and God is showing Himself to me in the coolest ways.  MAN I LOVE HIM!!!! I am so overwhelmed with the love He has for me and you. He absolutely loves it when we come to Him. Its crazy. 

I have been trying to get these podcasts working, But I don't know if it is. You can find them at ihop.org/onething08 I hope.......dundundun!!  I love you guys bless you!!!

The LORD is showing me that if we truly go after Him, just how badly He wants to give Himself to us. I am praying that He would stir your heart. Right now I am praying for His direction for this blog, and that is one reason why I am not posting very long, rest assured that He is moving and doing great things! Love you guys!!

Here is #5! My cpu won't let me put it up on the blog but here is the link!

http://www.mogulus.com/onethingtv/ondemand/flv_c95c722c-00a5-4171-b07b-1b13a1c82401?initthumburl=http://mogulus-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/chonethingtv/2008/12/04/c95c722c-00a5-4171-b07b-1b13a1c82401_184.jpg&playeraspectwidth=4&playeraspectheight=3

I feel like the LORD is about to take us to new levels of His heart, and I am praying that He would raise up a generationwilling to give themselves wholly to Him. I believe you have a great destiny set before you, press in and take hold of your blessings in Christ.

IHOP podcast #3!! Are you guys liking the podcasts??

Living from a place of encounter with the LORD takes much effort, as you probably know. I am tired of holding myself back, it is a costly thing to do, it takes saying no to the things of this world. 

But it is so worth it.

He is worth it.

Here is the onething podcast #2!

I am going to be posting some videos that mike bickle and some others are posting for the onthing conference, and even if you aren't going I really think these are important to hear and also you can watch the webstream.

I believe the LORD is doing great things with this city, and with our generation. I am so blessed to be in the generation that I am in. We have such a honor to live in the time that we live in. I was just thinking this morning about how so many people are just going with the flow, and just how it is just easy for many to do that. I have been thinking about the sacrifice of myself that I desire to make, and just not be of the world. My prayer is for all of those who desire to be the change, well to bring Jesus into their situations.

I am so blessed by the LORD. 

I can't really post long, I too must listen to my mom who is waiting on me to get off of the computer. =] 

Bless you guys today!!

Revelation!!

Hey you guys! I'm sorry about not posting earlier.

I just really quick just say a prayer over

Lord, I pray that the cry of this generation, and all those who are reading this would be to love you with all that they are, and that they would give themselves to you completely. Jesus please posses them, be there everything. Let their hearts desire be to be with you. Thank you LORD, I love you and pray that you bless all those reading this even now. Prepare our hearts to encounter you. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Dreaming big.

Taking Dothan.

I believe that we are in a time here in our city that only the praying church will shine forth the light of Christ(duh.) I was praying this morning at the prayer meeting(Which you should all at least consider going.) and the LORD was just showing me that we, the house of prayer(which includes all of the praying believers.) in Dothan are the determining factor of Jesus pouring out His Spirit.

We determine how much heaven we release on earth. We determine to bind and loose the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness(meaning, we bind the kingdom of darkness, and we loose the kingdom of heaven.)

So here is our challenge, to dream big with God, to believe that Dothan will be taken for His glory. We MUST fight the fight though, if we do not fight with all that is within us, we are really putting to shame the gospel of Christ.

Let's join together in unity and fight.

Let us pray and love God.

LOVING GOD. is all that matters.

Bless you!!

Calling all Dothan.

So I have been thinking lately and praying about just bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth, in Dothan, and I have just been thinking about how much potential we have, yet we do not walk in it. I have also been praying about the house of prayer starting up, which is so amazing! My prayer has been for God to shake us. I am really praying that He raises up a holy and consecrated people to Himself.I do not want to post really long today, I just want you to begin to think crazy thoughts, dream crazy dreams. What if you are the anointed one to start revival in your school? What if by you standing out and being different, all of Dothan is pulled into revival. And what if you were and I believe you are, fuel to the prayer movement. God is calling us out. So it is our choice. What are we going to do with it?

Even when we don't feel like it.

I have been going through a time where my wants surpass my feelings, and it is hard sometimes.. Not really it's hard most of the time for me. BUT!! I know that it gets easier. I have been wanting God, and I have been trying to let His character and acceptance mold and form my heart. I have been trying to let His hearts want to be mine. Jesus didn't exactly feel like dying on the cross and being crucified. But because He saw that the Father wanted to happen, Jesus Himself wanted it to happen. He wanted to be with us. He wanted me. He still wants me. I want Him too, I am just letting that more and more overcome my feelings. I just a lot of times want to stay in bed and sleep(and don't get me wrong rest is very important)but I want God more, and He is looking for His people to choose Him over their feelings, and He rewards us so greatly.

I have been very just, and I don't know how to explain this well) I just want God, and I want Him to overflow out of me in everything I do, but it will never happen in abundance like He desires and I desire if I don't make personal sacrifices to give myself to Him.

I am learning more and more of how to do that, but it is a journey, but I am so blessed that He is with me every step of the way.

I just have to, and want to, bless the LORD, with all of myself.

It's a journey, but we have His LOVE to get us through.

ALL BECAUSE HE LOVES US!!!!!! He loves us so intensely.

It's simple "NO!!"

I have had such a time this year getting my quiet times more frequent, and by that I mean more than just an hour and 15 minute type deal, but instead I have been trying to instead of getting on the cpu or watching T.V. that last 5 minutes I have at home before I leave to go somewhere. Living a consecrated lifestyle is centered around reckless abandon to Jesus and the Father's heart. His banner-standard-over me is love, so when I could love Him with my time so many times I choose other things, as I think we all do and go through at one time or another. But with my lifestyle I am saying no to that. I am saying no to the T.V. or the internet and instead spend time with my Beloved. Why we have such trouble saying "no" to the things of this world, I believe, is because we have been used to wasting our time. That is how most of us grew up, we wake up go to school get home and then get on our facebooks or myspaces. When was the last time you ran into your room after doing school and just poured out your heart and your love to the LORD. Maybe never, maybe you don't even know how that goes, maybe He isn't first place in your life. The only thing that will make Him #1 is to say NO to the worthless things of this world. I have decided I could talk about my convictions forever, or I could not say anything about them and begin to make changes in my life and say no to all of the things of the world pulling at my attention. God is the only ONE WORTHY of my time and attention, and He doesn't get mad at us when we hang out with friends, but if it becomes an idol to your heart sometimes we need to give it a break. The only way to a consecrated lifestyle, holy to Jesus, is to say no. And it is time to start saying no, instead of talking about saying no. It is sometimes really hard to say no. But here is what I propose to you, that we be such a lovesick people for God that that one word, the key to radical abandonment, to be screaming inside of us in the inmost of our beings, AND

we let it out.

Right now, I say no to all of the things of the world pulling at my attention. 

I say YES to God, to all He has for me.

No to the world.

YES TO GOD.

What is screaming inside of your heart right now?

Bless you!!!!

We are His dwelling place.

We are the dwelling place of God, my question is how well kept are we. We are His garden. So many people neglect that, which is the most important aspect of our lives, the place where LOVE dwells. LOVE dwells within me, and He wants to explode within me, I don't want to be found putting a cap over the well. I don't want to be found with a dry garden. I want a well-watered garden. I want His Spirit to search me. I want to go deeper and deeper with Him, and let His Spirit be all over me. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We worship with the Spirit because He dwells within us, and when He dwells within us we do everything together. God is love, and this life that we are living is so much deeper than I have been perceiving it to be. God lives in me. God is love, so LOVE is within me and I desire for Him to spew out of me in my actions and in my life and in all I say. He dwells within me in a place where no man can go.  Where it is me and Jesus alone. This is where we find ourselves. This is where we find who we are->In HIM. Where all else doesn't matter. Where all else fades away. Because it's me and Jesus. Nothing else matters. It's a place where we don't care about anything else. Where all that matters is the LOVE of God. All that matters is God alone.

.MY SOUL FINDS REST IN GOD ALONE.

.AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

Today.

God has great plans for us.

He is dreaming over us.

He is so in love with us.

So I have been thinking lately, and just praying for God to pour out His Spirit.

And really last night I was praying about Joel 2 and how when it says blow the trumpet in Zion, it is talking to the church.

Jesus won't sound the alarm except in us individually but we must corporately come together and sound the alarm and blow the trumpet in Zion.

When I think of that verse, I think of the fact that we are in such an urgent hour to pray and fast, and that Jesus is coming quickly.

Jesus is coming quickly. It's not this scary "aaahhh Jesus" for us, for His people. Just for the enemy and all who are against Jesus.

So its like we are declaring war on the enemy and also making the people of God ready.

It is so important to understand that(obviously)if we do not prepare ourselves, we will not be ready. For His second coming, or for His Spirit to be poured out.

Let's make ourselves ready, what do you say.

Spiritual Blindness

The LORD has really been showing me lately in really awesome ways about our eyes and how what we look at and what we look for are really the definition of our hearts.

It's something to think about, I mean if my heart is all vanity, then all I will ever care about is how I am looking and my object is to find everything that can make me look the way I wan to. I can not even count the amount of people who have given themselves to vanity.

If I am concerned about relationships with the opposite sex.... Haven't you seen that really just posses a person??? I mean come on who are we fooling. How about a Jesus possession, where all we are about are the riches of His glory. How about a God-obsession.

What are we known by, a flirt? A player? A thief? We are sinners, but in Jesus we have life and we have life to the fullest=John 10:10=.

What we set are eyes on tells the most about us. I don't want to waste my life looking upon worthless things, I want to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD all the days of my life.(Psalm 27)

Turn my eyes away from worthless things, and preserve my life according to your word.

(Psalm 119:37)                                

The Lord has really been showing me lately about how, well, awesome He is. How He loves me and blesses me so much even though I do not deserve it. 

We are blessed people.

 

I want to apologize for not posting earlier, I have been busy, but not too busy! God is doing so much in Dothan right now, and I want to encourage you to be praying for Dothan and for God's kingdom to come. Also, DHOP has started!!!! SO if any of you are wanting to pray the kingdom down, come!!!!! E-mail me and I will give you the down-low! =]

It is December 1st, and I do believe it is the season for giving. So let's have a blessing war!!!  You don't have to spend a ton of money, just give love!! Jesus gave like all the time it wasn't just a once a year season of giving, I have personally been trying to let it be a lifestyle to give. So let's do it.

=] Jesus loves you guys, I just want to say that whatever you are going through or doing this holiday season, when we commit our ways to Jesus, He makes us prosper.

How awesome is that!!

Hey you guys I am so sorry about not posting earlier I have been so busy today, it has been crazy. 

I just want to encourage you right now to continue in your pursuit of the holy things of God, and He loves you deeply!!

I love you guys have a good night

Let's do it together

Man, I have had so many different things pulling at my attention this week, and it has been a personal struggle to overcome, and I am just reminded that His love for me is far greater than anything else, and that He is the only one worthy of all my attention. Though it is ok to do things and hang out and goof around, my point is that we sometimes give other things more attention then they deserve.

I have found that the more fascinated I am with God, the more time I spend with Him and the more I give myself to Him, because I am knowing Him more.(If that makes since) It's the same the other way around, the more fascinated I am with other things, the more I give myself to it, that is life. It is all about keeping the ONE THING, your ONE THING.

It isn't an easy thing to do all the time, because the enemy is always pulling at your attention, but it is OUR CHOICE, we choose God or we choose the things of the world. The unworthy idols. That is what I am doing when I don't give myself continually to God, when I don't give myself to Him, I am choosing other things. Because in all I do, HE is to be exalted, not my sinful nature, and not me, Him. He is all. I am reminded of this song and the pre-chorus is "How can I stand here and not be moved by you."

The Fathers heart breaks when we choose other material things besides Him.

Let's join together as one body and choose God and intercede and pray. Let us go and give ourselves to God and not this world.

All I feel like I need to say is

As you go out today, just practice bringing the kingdom of heaven, OF GOD, to earth. Before you go into anywhere just pray, "Father, please use me to do your will in this place, I am willing." 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I just wanted to say that I am very thankful. I am really very thankful for all the LORD is doing, and all He has to do!! He is sooo good all the time!! I have been praying lately about the way I live my life, and I have been learning about how I should be living my life, and just how I want to live my life. I have been looking at the life of Stephen(Acts 6-7) and the life of Paul! And of course the life of Jesus! It just blows me away that these beautiful people were so lovesick for Jesus, and they did everything in their power to bless Him. And I just want to really quick encourage you to continue to search out the scriptures and press in to the heart of God, and ask Him what you can do to bless you today! =] Ask Him how He wants you to live. I am trying more and more everyday, and not just one day out of the year to live a life of thankfulness. I love you guys, and have a blessed Thanksgiving!!! 

Today

is a day of war. I was thinking yesterday about how we are getting the house of prayer in Dothan started up, which is very awesome!!! And I was just thinking about how we are waging war on the enemy and taking ground for the kingdom of God.

I realized that right when we began to pray the spiritual forces of darkness in Dothan began to be stirred, and something we need to realize is that the demons won't run away at the beginning of the battle and we need to continue to press in and take our places in the heavenly realms.

Right when we began to pray the demons did flee, but that doesn't mean they will not try to return. I still believe that the church in Dothan is blinded to the reality of the fact that Jesus is coming back for His prepared bride. He is coming back and we must be ready. I feel like we need to be aware of the fact that most believers in Dothan who do go to church even, they have turned their eyes away from Jesus, when our job is to look and to gaze upon His beauty. 

We are in need of an awakening and the only way we are to get awakened is to take action and advance His kingdom. I think one reason people are not moving so much is because #1 they don't know God and #2 the people who do know God have their eyes on other things.

I believe God wants to and is raising up a people who are consumed with Jesus, and who desire to know and be with Him above all else.

I want to hear your thoughts on this you guys please join with me and many others to take our city for the better.

Kasey

Intercessors...

Wake up. DHOP(Dothan House Of Prayer) is starting today, PRAISE GOD!! The LORD has been so good to us, and He deserves to be praised!!

To be an effective agent of the kingdom of God, we must go the opposite way of the world, and we must fight and battle to bring the kingdom to earth. Especially because we are in the end times, it is so important to be prepared , and to let God write His WORD on our hearts. To prepare ourselves, and to prepare the way for His second coming. Last night I heard Lou Engle say these words:

"If the apostles and prophets of old had to go through such depth of preparation, how about the end times generation?"

I also heard Mike Bickle say this:

"There is a move of God scheduled for this nation that far surpasses the book of Acts."

Those are pretty weighty things to say, but I believe them both with all of me.

We must prepare our hearts to NOT be offended when Jesus comes back, and we must yield ourselves to the REALITY of who He really is.

Today WE, as a community, are waging war in the heavenly realms. We, in Dothan Alabama, are going to plunge ourselves into the heart of God. We have already won the victory, even though the fight is yet being fought.

Let us, as His Beloved Bride, say COME LORD JESUS!!

Cast away your idols!

First I want to apologize for posting so late today, I usually sleep in on Mondays. =].

The Lord has recently spoke to me through many many MANY people about casting down my "idols", and letting ALL my treasure be in heaven. I have noted some scriptures and these are really awesome, first my attention was brought to Isaiah 2:20

And this passage is talking aboout the day of the LORD, and this is what it says,

Isaiah 2:20

  20)In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats
         Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
         Which they made for themselves to worship, 

And it was spoken over me and I am going to speak it over you, that we would cast down any other thing that takes the place of where Jesus could be in our lives and that we would really throw them away to the moles and the bats. That we would do it out of LOVE FOR GOD, and not shame in the end.

Let's purify ourselves today.

Another verse that stuck out to me was  1 Thessalonians 1:9-10:

9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

This one is really cool to me because of how when they turned to GOD from idols, it was big news and it spread quickly.

I was thinking about how so many people supposively turn to God in our culture, but so many don't even understand what it means to turn to God.

So what does it mean for us to turn to God, away from our own "idols"

The last verse I was looking at was Matthew 6:19:

It says....

DO NOT store up for yourselves treasures on earth.

DO NOT!!

It doesn't say, "It's a bad idea to store up treasure on earth" it says DO NOT store up treasures on earth.

So I have chosen to cast down any idol to the moles and the bats out of LOVE for the LORD.

And let's go ahead and make this clear, and "idol" is not just a statue of a false god, an idol is anything that turns your attention away from the LORD. ANYTHING that really STEALS your attention away from the LORD.

And most of the time they are not really obvious to everyone.... T.V.  Internet/cpu   video games   and things like wasted time..... and secular music.... and not all secular music is terrible, but alot of discernment is needed for that one, but I myself only want to fill my heart with the music and worship that glorifies the LORD, so I believe it isn't good, or godly really.

Just examine yourself today, and ask the LORD what you need to cast away to the moles and the bats but only if you do it out of love. He likes it better that way =]

Love.

When you are a Christian, you supposedly have the love of God in you. I believe do have His love, but I also believe that we determine how much of it we get. I don't mean, we choose if He loves us more or less, but I mean that we, if we desire it, we are the ones who are to take steps closer to God, and ASK Him to make His LOVE known to us more and more. Does that make since?

I know this to be true and Biblical that if we want to really truly KNOW God, there is no way to do that without drawing near to Him. Going to Him in our secret place. We will know what we pursue.

Here is what I believe the LORD is asking: 

What are you pursuing?

    The church has been turning away from our Bridegroom King, and it is time for us to return to Him.

Fascinated by the Word of God

And that is where I stand.

Today I don't have too much to say, but it is alot still. 

Are we truly fascinated by God, or are our eyes on other, worthless, things?

Where do you stand

Are you hot or cold? Sorry, there isn't any room for lukewarm.

Psalm 93

 1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; 
       the LORD is robed in majesty 
       and is armed with strength. 
       The world is firmly established; 
       it cannot be moved.

 2 Your throne was established long ago; 
       you are from all eternity.

 3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD, 
       the seas have lifted up their voice; 
       the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

 4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, 
       mightier than the breakers of the sea— 
       the LORD on high is mighty.

 5 Your statutes stand firm; 
       holiness adorns your house 
       for endless days, O LORD.

This is a Psalm that I believe is a very important one to grasp..... If it's even possible.

I believe that my eyes(and yours too) were created to see the glory of God, and the LORD who is ROBED in MAJESTY!!! It is flipping AWESOME!!!!!!! I just can't help but to fall before Him in thanksgiving! How can you not?? Just a thought to think on.

Patience

We all fall short of.

Today God has really been teaching me what it is to be patient, your can't really be patient when you are not in a situation that requires you to do so.

The Father has been also showing me the importance of my attitude, and how I affect all of those around me. So when we are patient it rubs off on people.

The LORD is so good and patient towards us, let's just thank Him and praise Him for all He does for us.

In Dothan, God is doing amazing things, and if we really truly want to take this city for the kingdom of God, then we must MUST be patient and we must be so filled with His patience that it overflows onto people. 

Let's take Dothan.

Love you guys!

Jesus is so kind.

Jesus is wonderful.

=]

I love Him!!!

First I just want to say to you guys who read and commented on the post yesterday that you guys have beautiful hearts and God sees you. Also The LORD has great plans for your life! 

So I was praying, and I feel like this is what I needed to post

How do you feel about His love?? 

Does it move you?

Shouldn't it?

Are you a lovesick lover of the One who loves you more than life, no matter what??

Are you so in love with Him, that you do not have a care within you that cares about what others think of you??

Do you tell Him you love Him daily??

I just feel like I need to tell you, He knows what is in your heart. He knows how you feel, and loves you no matter what!

Lately I have been thinking about how I express my heart to the LORD, and I was like, ''Jesus, I don't really do a good job at that!!'' =] He was like ''I know.'' 

Man, He is funny to me, and yet He is serious. But we can get better!! Yay!!

I love you guys and Jesus loves you!!!!!

What Do You Want?

And What are you willing to do to get it?

The other day I was praying and I started by praying,   "LORD, I am would be willing to do what ever it takes to have more of you!" Then I started think well no "LORD, I am willing to do whatever it takes to have you!" and I just prayed about this for a while, and prayers came from that to... "Jesus, I am going to do whatever it takes to have more of You!"

I am going to do whatever it takes to have more of you.

I am going to do whatever it takes to have more of you.

He was like, "Now that's what I'm talking about!!"

It was kinda funny to me, were the first two things I prayed wrong and incorrect?? I don't know. But, God is so insanely jealous for us, and He wants our best. My best wasn't, 'Lord, I think I can give all I am(my best) to get you." 

Pssh.... I bet that moved His heart... He was probably like "You're ALMOST THERE!!" Which I am sure made Him happy too =] 

He wants us, and did everything to get us, so why can't we do the same for Him.

Why can't we go out of our way to do things for Him, and why can't we learn to say no to things just to spend time with HIM.

=] He loves that!! He loves it when we do our best for Him, and in everything we do!! 

This may be a little random, but I feel like He is really raising up a people who love Him more than T.V. (Wow! Here's a challenge, stop watching T.V. and spend that time with Jesus =O-- Because our time on earth is limited) I mean, How do you feel after you watch T.V.??

How do you feel after 5 hours on the CPU??

Is it worth it?

I love you guys!!! And the LORD has amazing plans for your life!!

Right In God's Eyes.

There is a war, There's a war in the heavenlies and we're tearing down daring principalities the is a war there's a war in the heavenlies and we're raising up righteousness!

Righteousness. For a long time, I didn't know what righteousness really was, I mean I knew it was good, and I knew that God was the Righteous Judge, but I had no clue what it meant..... It was to me just another churchy word. Until one day I was in small groups with some people, and I overheard our leader say that righteousness was pretty much being right in Gods eyes. Being right in God's eyes. So I thought about this for a little while, what it really means to be right in God's eyes, and I realised that I wasn't really too much at all. The crazy thing to me is how prideful we are sometimes..... Especially those of us who have been in church all of our lives! I was, and I got saved when I was 7 (Yes, I am 'one of those kids' =]) and so I didn't think too much could be wrong with me. I can quote John 3:16 backwards and forwards, but Christianity doesn't stop there. There was a whole world(realm if you prefer =]) that I did not understand one bit! I didn't know God really, and I didn't know His ways, BUT I THOUGHT I DID!! I think that right there is a huge attack of the enemy and it is deceit.I mean, seriously, how many church goers do you know, who say they know God, but really don't, because if you know God and if you truly love Him, your life will really, and I mean REALLY stand out. really stand out............. I believe God is raising up His people to know Him, but I feel the need to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who don't know the Father. Pray that they would come into the knowledge of God, and that they would come into and be drenched into a love relationship with Christ Jesus.
As parts of our Body are being deceived, we can still PRAY!!!! Prayer is so powerful......Plus (Here's a biggy) The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and affective!!!!!!
Let's do it!

LOVE

Man!! God is so in love with us!! He loves us so deeply!!! His love deserves to be bragged on.It is so incredibly big, and long, and deep, and wide. He loves us in our weaknesses, and He loves us in our kinda strengths..... If we even have strengths....... I don't know, I think we have stronger weaker points, but we are still weak. And His strength is made perfect in that!!

He loves us as our Father, and He loves us as our Bridegroom King.

We don't deserve His love but He loves us anyways!! He sees us beautiful. He knows us intimately.

He wants us to become students of His emotions, like King David.

David spent just about all of his youth, in the feilds, a shepherd. He spent his time in the feild with Jesus, getting to know His heart, writing lovesongs and poetry that reflect the Fathers love. 

One thing that struck me the most is that David saw the importance of getting to know the living God out in the feilds in the middle of nowhere and he experience God in such intimate ways. He wrote songs and played his instruments and encountered God, because God was all he had.

ALL of his hope was in GOD ALONE. 

I want to live like that, and I am going to. I am going to live a hopelessly abandoned life to Jesus Christ!

Join me! Let's all run after Gods heart instead of the hearts of men. Why would we let someone get in the way of our Creator's love..? 

Lets go after Gods own heart!! 

Anybody??

I know I have been writing about burdens, and injustices, and stuff like that these past couple days, but I feel like this is what the LORD is saying today for us.

Everywhere in our schools, in our jobs, and in this city everywhere darkness is rising up, whether you feel it or not. The atmosphere isn't really heaven on earth is it? There are probably platforms of darkness in your school or job, and my question to you today concerning just that is

Are they winning?

Is the enemy winning?? Is satan winning more souls for the kingdom of darkness than you are for God's kingdom of Light?

---By the way satan doesn't have to totally convert a person to be a total satan worshipper to win a soul, he just has to confuse, and distract any person from Jesus, and he gets people to play the fence. That is his business, he steals kills depresses and destroys people in whatever ways he can he is very skilled.----(props go to Sean Nix on that one)

Just to let you know, he(satan) does it every day before our eyes, and a lot of the times is because we had missed our window of opportunity.

We, as God's children, are not failures, and we are not losers unless we ourselves remain undecided as to what we are doing as agents of God's kingdom.

It takes a LOT to truly follow God and do what He does, you sing that don't you? "Where you go I'll go, what you say I'll say, what you pray I'll pray..."

I have a question for you today, Do you mean it, have you taken that and practiced doing what He does, or saying what He says? Big or small, it all counts to God.

I want to end this post the way I started it, 

Is the enemy winning? Or will we step it up a notch and refuse the death satan offers!!??

I'm in.

Are you??

How He feels.

Yesterday I had a pretty interesting day, I spent most of my time with God praying and reading and listening to Him, just like I was suppose to, right? Wrong. I went through my day with Him, and a little while after I spent some time with Him, I started asking Him how He felt, and asking Him if it was enjoyable. And because I try to listen to Him, and I know that we have a relationship, as we all should with Him, He(GOD) told me that He felt like a chore to me. And I mean I of course apologized, and He forgave me and all, but it just doesn't occur to us how often He feels this way.

   He began to teach me a little bit more about the importance of first enjoying Him. 

It's so crazy! I affect the way God feels, and so do all of His children. I mean how would your father feel if you never took time to say "Hey" or "What's up?" or just talked to him. Or you never spoke to your best friends when you saw them.

I can't imagine how our Father in heaven feels like concerning some of His very own children, and His bride.

Husband and wife live together, they spend a lot of time with one another, and they love to be with one another......... ALL THE TIME.

Jesus is madly in love with us.

Examine your heart before the LORD today, and really ask Him how HE feels.

My prayer for you is that you become a lovesick lover of our Bridegroom King.

Consecrate Yourselves!

Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."

To me this is an amazing verse, God has been teaching me, and many others about consecration. Consecration is honestly more than "not being like the world' by not conforming to it and not sinning. Consecration, I think is when you COMPLETELY GIVE yourself TO THE LORD. It is a costly thing for you to do, it takes you becoming like Daniel and learning when to say "NO" to other things. It is a humbling process, it is a process that completely cleans your heart. When you do consecrate yourself you get SO MUCH of the LORD! He draws near to us when we draw near to HIM. Consecrating yourselves takes you having to say no sometimes to movies, hanging out with friends(even if they love GOD), birthday parties, and sometimes we even turn church into a socializing event, so if you can you may have to say no to that.

As I have been thinking about consecration, I have been thinking about Joshua, and how before he led the Israelites, he had to learn and consecrate himself wholly to the LORD so that when his time came to lead, he was ready.

And this all comes back to being ready, and being prepared. Jesus, our Bridegroom King is coming back for His bride. I don't want Jesus to come and Him not recognize me.(Matthew 7:15-23)

Let's get to know GOD.

"Repentant Prayer"

My heart is in the agony of the pain of wasted time.

A revolution of repentance

takes place in this heart of mine, tonight.

Repentance unto revival

must be the way I go

Oh Jerusalem, I am on your side

But your bloodshed is my greastest foe

For me I am marked, 

Marked unto martyrdom

For my Savior, my God, I have given my heart to Him

A God-obsession, I must contain

A Jesus-possesion is taking place

No looking back now.

I am on my way, on my way to high heaven

The LORD is with me wherever I go

No matter the time or place

But it is my duty to honor His holy heart

Because He truely is my only gain.

I am lost without Him. Lord, I am lost without you.

You are my Exceedingly GREAT Reward.

The Moral Injustice of...

Abortion-is killing our generation. over 4,000 abortions happen a day. 25,000 abortions a week. 109,000 abortions happen in a month. There are 1.3 MILLION abortions in a year!

Do we realise the injustice even of killing babies. Maybe we do, but what is being done about this injustice, what is being done. The shedding of innocent blood is polluting our land.

Numbers 35:33:

Do not pollute the land where you are. BLOODSHED POLLUTES THE LAND, and atonement CANNOT be made for the land on which blood has been shed, EXCEPT by the blood of the one who shed it.

That's heavy.

The weight of this injustice rests on the many who have chosen to have abortions, and on our government. Something must be done. I was praying about this very thing the other day, and this is what the LORD showed me... That the blood of the aborted babies(who are, by the way the MOST VOICELESS PEOPLE GROUP) Their blood cries out from the ground to GOD MORE than the cries of the saints even.

So until their cries are heard in heaven, and it is my duty, and our duty(as the body of Christ) to not relent until their voices are heard through the church ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

 So today I come before you with what I believe is the most injustice ever, and I am asking you to plead Jesus' blood over this country, over your city, over this nation, and over California.

I am believing truely if the Body of Christ pulls together GOD will have mercy. 

Do not let up in your intercession. Right now is our most crucial time to intercede!

I was just praying and talking to and with the LORD yesterday, and just really asking Him some questions that are important to me, and this is what He told me....

I was asking Him what it would look like for me to have a God-obsession.(I love it when He speaks to me its always so good!)

This is what He said:

Kasey, [He always calls us/me by name :)]

For you to have a God-obsession is for you to burn with passion in every single thing you do for the ONE THING you were created for, and the ONE PERSON you are devoted to(Jesus). It is to burn with passionate love for God, for TRUTH and LIFE (John 14:6).

He also told me:

For you to truely obtain a GOD-obsession, a JESUS-POSESSION needs to take place.

Jesus wants to posses us. Some people do not understand that, but to be possesed by Jesus is to really, just to live a life where He is ALL you think about He is all you talk about He is ALL your hearts desire, and you want no one else, it is a radical lifestyle. :)      

So I pray today that you would be filled with His Spirit, and you would have a God obsession and that Jesus would posses you! 

Kasey

Bless the LORD!!

Good morning! Good morning! Well, today is going to be and is a blesed day! 

Let's worship the LORD together, and rest today. There is so much to be thankful for. So many people are still so bummed out about the elections, but we still have so much to praise God for. We still have HIM. He is ALL that matters. Let's really praise Him today, and give it all we have in us. Let's dance like David, and sing for HIM.

Let's do something special for our King and spend a little time with Him, and show Him that we love Him. Let's dig deeper into His heart, because He longs for us to know Him.

It just makes me happy know that He loves me so much, and I could and will never know that to the full extent because there is always more. Oh what joy!

Blessings, 

Kasey

Hello!

I am sorry to say I don't have alot of time right now to post as much as I would like to, but I am on God's timing! So I just want to encourage you today and I believe this is enough that, when we acknowlege God He will make our paths straight, because HE is with Us wherever we go.

We don't stop enjoying God and acknowleging Him when we walk out of our secret place, because He is always with us, we just sometimes forget Him.

Ouch. We are all guilty of this, but today let's just do things with God.

He loves you guys so much!!!! And I do too!!! 

Kasey

Let's listen.

Hey everyone! I first wanted to tell you, even though I could never do it justice, how the LORD delights in you so greatly! You ravish His heart! The amazing thing about it is, we all mess up! But He even delights in us in our weakness!! He loves us the same when we fail, and I know that, that is one of those things we get told in Sunday school, but it is so true and wonderful! So I want to encourage you today that the LORD loves you so unconditionally, and some of us still need revelation of that! I know that I do more and more every day. I want to walk in the knowlege that I am His favorite(as we all are).

He lovese you so much! He delights in you. Today when you pray, just remember to thank Him! Today and forever you are the LORD's Beloved!!! 

We find our identity in what He says about us! Lets listen to what He has to say, begin to ask the LORD what He says about you, what He thinks about you. Ask Him what His thoughts are.

He has alot of important things to say.

Let's listen.

Kasey

Hey everyone! I first want to give you an update, I am going to be posting earlier so maybe that will help with something I don't know. :) 

I just want to thank you guys for being so faithful to me, and this blog it truely blesses me.

I want to just agree with David that we, as God's church and bride, are to pray for our leaders. So lets lift up our president to God and ask Him that He would fill our president with a spirit of wisdom and revelation and that God would just pour out on Him discernment and His blessings.

I believe we are in such a moment right now to really pray and seek God's face.

I believe if we really truely pull together God will pour out His spirit in a mighty way. My prayer is that the body of Christ would wake up(me too) and realise the moment we are in.

The moment we are in truely is the greatest moment in human history. We have the ability to pull heaven down in our homes, in our schools, in our workplaces..... In the grocery stores.

We have Jesus to show, we are the light of the world.

So today I want to really encourage you and tell you that God has chosen you to do His will in YOUR SCHOOL and He has anointed you to pull down heaven everywhere YOU GO. He has given you authority.

I am praying for you, and am continuing to ask God to wake us up, send revival, and that we would responde. 

Proverbs 1:23 says:

If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.

He wants us to responde NOT react. There is a difference. Reacted I believe is when you, out of anger push rebuke away and you don't take it well, it is like your human nature to react. But God wants us to responde out of love for His discipline. Does that make since?

Search it out.

Love you guys!!! Press on!!

What a crucial moment this is in America. Our 40-day-fast is done, and I know that God has heard all of our prayers, and He will not forget. We have a new president in America, and honestly I do not know what to think about him, but I do know for a fact that God is still in control! God has a great plan for this nation. We, Gods people, have a choice to make. We could just slump down and get depressed, we could not do anything about it and just not care, but we could also turn to Jesus and radically sell ourselves out to Him, doing everything in our power to be intercessors- To stand in the gap, and plead the blood of Jesus over our nation. We cannot stop praying, we are in desperate times we are not in a time to go back to "buisness as usual" This is our moment, and I believe God is calling out His people as chosen warriors. I have given myself to His purposes of raising up the Joel 2 army, and LIFE. How is God going to raise up a generation if the leaders of our nation are killing the babies!? Well, God can do it. God is in control. 

You may be thinking these things as well, like 'aaaahh, we're ganna all die', hopefully not everyone thinks that, I don't think so. But my point is that in this hour, in this very moment Jesus is looking for His lovesick Bride to remain. We must stand even more so. 

Here is a thought, I was praying the other day, and I mean God has really been revealing to me the intensity of this hour we are in. He spoke to me and said, "Kasey, you must begin to step out now when it's legal, before it is illegal." I was very struck at this, and I am just capturing God's heart on this, but I just feel like He is calling us to search Him out. He is looking for His lovesick Bride. We are not of this world, and I am rejoicing today, because my Jesus is coming back for me. 

If God is for us, who can be against us?-No one.

No one who's hope is in the LORD will EVER be put to shame.

Jesus will one day split the sky, and reign once again.

I am still believing our nation can turn back to God. And where we are right now in our country is an open door for revival, and the greatest awakening we have never seen.

Go on today loving people, and loving God.

Jesus loves you, He does what He does because He loves you!!!

Kasey

Blow the trumpet in Zion.

Today is here.

The day we have long awaited in prayer is today, and we have come before the King of Glory with a plead for Him to have mercy, even though our world is entering into darker hours in the next few years to come. But, we have come before asking for at least one more season os mercy. I believe today could be a day of favor, and it is a day where a complete a total change is made, and whatever choice is made today will effect the entire world.

I believe also that we, the body of Christ, determine the amount of the Spirit of God we recieve. So, if we want revival.... WE MUST PRESS IN FOR REVIVAL! And if we want awakening.... WE MUST PRESS IN FOR AWAKENING!!!! Today we are left with the choice. The choice to stand for LIFE or the choice of death. I am believing God loves to do the impossible!! HE LOVES IT! And no matter who ends up in the White House I am going to party tomorrow, because Jesus is my KING!!!!! And no matter what goes down whenever whoever is in office I WILL ALWAYS EVER STAND FOR LIFE!!!!!! 

So today is the day where the rubber hits the road. Let us keep on praising the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!!!!!!

In His Name,

Kasey

I believe the LORD is doing something amazing right now throughout the whole nation! Tomorrow is the end of the 40-day-fast, and so many have pushed through, and really caught a glimpse of the heart of God for these elections. But we still have about a day of war left. I believe today and tomorrow many will realise the intensity and depth of importance this election is. I also and hoping for California to turn to the LORD. Well, on top of that I am hoping for this nation. I am going to keep hoping, we will see Jesus, we will see Jesus. 

I want to thank everyone for your loyalty to reading this blog, I believe the LORD is and will use it even more this next year. I am going to keep asking the LORD for direction.

So today and tomorrow I want to ask you, when you go into your secret place plead the blood of Jesus over all the hearts in America, and press in!!! 

I believe this nation can turn around!!! God is still God and He does the impossible!!!!!!!!!

For Freedoms Sake,

Kasey

Press In

Hey you guys I just really want to encourage you today to just give the LORD your prayers, and honor Him in all that you do. I just felt the need to say that He is honored by us when we pray to Him. He listens to our prayers, and although 12 hour prayer meetings are very affective, He wants us to give Him more than that, He wants us to have a PRAYER CULTURE.

The elections are Tuesday, and God is sweeping the nation, and I believe He is going to pour out His Spirit. And if He chooses to have mercy, we are to press in and thank Him and pray alot, and if He chooses to judge us, we are to press into His heart and thank Him for all He has done for us, and pray alot!

Either way we must continue to press in to get a knowlege of God! 

We must go out into the world and be the LIGHT!

Think on it.

Kasey
