Matthew 5:5


Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
What is being meek anyways... There are several definitions and ways you can put it, but I think the one that we as a whole body need to get is this, to be HUMBLE.(You can go to dictionary.com and type in meek and search it and just be amazed.)
Humility
Alot of us are in fact prideful, even though we hate to admit it. Jesus knew that being prideful would keep us from Him, and that is why I think humility is needed more now than ever before. We can't depend on ourselves and get any where, we would get lost and die. Jesus is offering us something bigger though, he came to give us life to the fullest(John 10:10). If we are faithful with little we will be given much, whether it be now or in the age to come. When we begin to walk in humility we will see with our eyes the results of His goodness, He is always good.
Right now I just feel like we, as the body of Christ Jesus, we need to join together and humble ourselves and pray and seek His face, and I am believing He will open the floodgates of heaven and send revival and awaken the people. If we would pray, I believe, and I know the whole nation would shake!
If we would do that, and the whole body would do that, there is no telling what God would do. But there are too many people and churches who bring each other down and compete with one another, this has to change and only prayer can do it.
Let's pray today, and ask the LORD to do what He loves to do! Let's go before the King and ask for mercy.
The elections are coming up and things can still go well for the country, but we have to pray.

Matthew 5:4

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
This is such a blessing from the Lord, and a wonderful promise. Really it reminds me of how Jesus is my friend, and bridegroom, and how the Holy Spirit truely is the comforter. God is always here for us, and when we need Him most He really is so tender towards us.
Some people try to be all tough, and they don't think that they need to be comforted, which is kinda dumb. Because that is shutting God off, it is getting into the mindset that we don't need even God. The truth is that we are all weak and He is strong. We are to bring glory to God in every single circumstance, and if we cannot come to Him mourning and weeping, we are actually putting God in a box.
A dead grey box.
Joel 2:12:
"Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all of your heart, with fasting weeping and MOURNING."
We are in desperate need of Jesus, we are poor in spirit.
I believe that this is the generation who will return to the LORD with fasting weeping and mourning. I BELIEVE.

Matthew 5:3

The Beattitudes
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Being poor in spirit-To acknowlege that we are in great need of God's help to sustain our love for Him. We have to understand that we are weak and God is strong. He uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong. (1 Cor. 1:27...I think)
For theirs is the kingdom-- To me (and to the LORD) this is a big deal, as I was praying about this verse this is the main thing I got out of it...
When I acknowlege I am poor in spirit, I have the power and authority to pull heaven down. When I acknowlege I am poor in spirit I am in the total will of the Father.
To be poor in spirit is this. We are willing to ask God for what we need, like admitting to Him we need it, and admitting to Him that we need HIM. I am in such great need of GOD!
Bless you guys on this day of rest!!!

Purity, taking it to the next level.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see GOD.











Ok....I have been so burdened for this generation, youth, yeah. I have been praying and seeking the Lord and I keep on getting the same thing. We have to see God. We have to touch God. We have to know God. But there is only ONE WAY we, or anyone, can possibly do that, BUT!! It will cost us everything.... And I know that is really nothing compared to Jesus. We have to be willing to drop everything and follow Christ Jesus. Jesus went all, ALL, the way for us, and the LEAST we can do is give all that we are to Him! It is a matter who and/or what you are living for. Jesus died so that we may have eternal life WITH HIM and NOT in hell! He is calling us to go ALL THE WAY! The only way we will see God is if we are pure in heart. PURE IN HEART.








I was praying yesterday and reading Matthew 3&4 and God rocked my socks off! So Jesus gets baptized then goes into the desert for forty days and forty nights to fast, and when He gets back He finds out that John had been put in prison (for of course preaching REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR) So when Jesus heard this He moves to Galilee like Capernaum and starts preaching... of course the SAME THING that John got put in prison for! JESUS!! When I finally understood this I was like man Jesus you were crazy and HE IS CALLING US to be THE SAME!! So He preached that and more! When Jesus preached it (and more) He got crucified and one thing the disciples I believe understood and WE HAVE TO CATCH THIS ! Is that I(you) WE have to do all that Jesus did to get thrown on the cross(EXCEPT claim that we are Jesus)heavy right? I don't know if that makes since to anyone but BELIEVE ME THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS! He said you--me--will do even greater things..... What do you think He was talking about!?





This is so important I don't even know what to tell you.





We can't be chasing worldly things, and we have to let the Lord lead us, in purity, into our greatest destiny I really don't know how this is sounding to you guys, if you want to you can let me know.... I am just so honestly I am burdened and my prayer for this generation is that we would just grab hold of ALL that God has for us. I know I may not be adequate for doing this, but I am just doing my best to be obedient, so you guys please be praying that this would be the generation, that your generation,would be the generation to run after God.





We have to stop and intercede! We have to believe that God can and will answer these prayers because He cares for His people! We can't give up and we can't give in we must MUST go all the way to the LORD!








Lord I pray you would bless the person reading this, let them see you.

Don't Forget...Remember

This morning I really just feel led to write about the LOVE of God, and that His thoughts toward His people are holy. God is always thinking about us, and He is very jealous for His people. He wants all of us, as in,He wants us to give all that we are to Him. And through our days He wants us to be thinking about Him, but the problem is that not alot of people truely know and understand God, and alot of people say they want God, but don't do anything about it to get Him. Because the Lord is so good He doesn't force Himself on people, but He does do everything to get our hearts. So it is our choice to acknowlege God everyday, and to spend time with Him (everyday).

I believe that is one thing God wants from us! He desperately wants His people to be thinking upon Him, just as He thinks upon us. He is after our hearts, but only a few choose to give it to Him. I think of Psalm 119 and the heart of the Psalm is an EXTREME LOVE for GOD'S WORD, I want that LOVE for God's WORD! That is so special to God.

The main point really is that through your day, and through all the business or boredom our goal should be to Bless the Lord(Psalm 103). We should be praying that we would not forget the LORD and all that He has done for us! He is so good, and we do not deserve Him. But He wants us.


Today be praying for your generation, be praying that God of the universe would grab hold of our hearts. Pray for your family and your friends, read the Word, love God. My prayer for you guys is that you would grab hold of it for yourselves and go after God's heart.


Psalm 103:1- 5

(1)Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
(2)Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
(3)who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
(4)who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
(5)who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Hunger

Today I simply want to challenge everyone to just think about how hungry you are for the Lord, and how big your desire is for Him. I have been thinking about it today and I am not hungry enough for Him, I mean as you walk with the Lord I believe your hunger grows, but when are you hungry enough? And I mean hungry for His Word and Hungry for His presence and HUNGRY to KNOW Him Personallly, to encounter Him every day! Because He wants to do that He wants to encounter us daily, Jesus is on His throne in heaven I believe with a cup in His hand and He has a cup for each of His children and it has our names on it... I believe He is saying to us, "How much of me do you want I will pour it out on you if you ask"

I determine How much I get of God... Wow It is crazy how that is, but I am praying and I want to encourage you guys too to daily ask the Lord to increase your hunger for Him.

We are ALL in desperate need of Jesus. He wants us to be hungry for Him.



Jesus, please make me more hungry for You, increase my hunger for You! I love You God and I ask that You would fill us up, but not let us be satisfied. Lord, please increase our hunger for You. Pour out Your Spirit God, pour it out on Your people! Pour it out on America! We are in desperate need for You now more than ever!! Thank You Lord for your faithfulness!!


Isaiah 55---Invitation to the Thirsty


1-5 "Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water!Are you penniless? Come anyway—buy and eat!Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk. Buy without money—everything's free!Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best, fill yourself with only the finest.Pay attention, come close now, listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.I'm making a lasting covenant commitment with you, the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.I set him up as a witness to the nations, made him a prince and leader of the nations,And now I'm doing it to you: You'll summon nations you've never heard of,and nations who've never heard of you will come running to youBecause of me, your God, because The Holy of Israel has honored you."


6-7Seek God while he's here to be found, pray to him while he's close at hand.Let the wicked abandon their way of life and the evil their way of thinking.Let them come back to God, who is merciful, come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.


8-11"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree."For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth,Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed.They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.


12-13"So you'll go out in joy, you'll be led into a whole and complete life.The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song.All the trees of the forest will join the procession, exuberant with applause.No more thistles, but giant sequoias, no more thornbushes, but stately pines—Monuments to me, to God, living and lasting evidence of God."

Through the Wilderness, to the Mountain

Now that everyone has gotten a chance to check this out I am going to be posting every morning, so be sure to check it out when you can. (I wanted to make sure you guys know that you can comment if you dont personally have a blog.)God has been confirming the purposes of this blog more and more every single day! I will be sure to share some stories soon!! One more thing about the blog, I wanted to let everyone know that one of the main things I will be posting about are issues and important factors we, God's people, need to be desperately praying for. I really believe that there is a need now(more than ever)to join together with one voice to God and intercede.


Many of you guys know who Lou Engle is with TheCall, even if you don't this is so important! Through him God, I believe, has called a 40-day fast to go to the mountain of the LORD and ask God for mercy for America BEGINNING TOMORROW!! We are going to be praying for the person God has to be America's leader to be the one in office. It is so important that we join together and fast! You do not have to fast food completely alot of people are doing a Daniel Fast, people choose to fast T.V. or whatever you feel led to do. It all matters to God!

What I mean by going through the wilderness to the mountain of the LORD is this, going through the wilderness is prayer and fasting, and we go through the wilderness to get to the mountain and on the mountain at the end of the extended fast I believe God will show us His glory, in whichever way He chooses to do so. That doesn't even cover this subject at all but that is it basically. Moses and Elijah encountered the Glory of the LORD on His mountain, and I'm believing that an entire generation can and will see His glory.(Exodus 33, 1 Kings 19)


I am moved to ask you to all be praying for the younger children in our generation! God gave me a dream last night where I came into this house, and there were children being perverted by the world and by their own parents. He told me to pray against the perversion of the purest! This is a big issue, and if we can, in this fast, pray that God would prevent this from happening to our generation I know that He will have mercy! Satan is after us 1 Peter 5:8-9 says:

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (v.9) Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."

But we can overcome evil with Good(GOD).

May the Lord Bless you guys!

Can a blog effect an entire community?....I do believe so!

The Lord has laid it on my heart to start this blog, and I am believing He will do amazing things through it. I am so excited that the Lord has led me to do this!! He has spoken to me and revealed to me that He wants to reach over 2,000 people with this simple blog, and I believe He will do so, whether it be now or later. SOO!! Be sure to comment and feel free to ask any questions and to share what the Lord is doing in you and how this helps you as well!


I am asking the LORD for mercy, and also that He would AWAKEN our generation. Now is the time for God's people to gather together to pray and fast and to seek His face. I am asking the Lord to raise up His intercessors. Please join with me to ask God for mercy, join me to intercede on behalf of our nation and our generation!! God is doing great and amazing things right in this moment of time! He has a divine destiny for those who love Him. If we can be a house of prayer and actually pray, the whole nation of America will shake!! The people will tremble. We are in the end times, and we must be ONE body!


I want to also encourage you to express yourself to the Lord! Write and sing, dance and make music to Him! Learn how to dream with God and ask yourself what it means to truely dream with God. Most importantly I want to encourage you to get into the Word of God!! Get to your prayer closet(Matthew.6) and really search out His Word, and ask Him what it means! Don't just be ok with what you hear, ask the Lord what it means. Listen to His voice.


If you have anything you would like to share with me, or any questions you can ask me at:
I am believing that God IS raising up a dead generation, and He is waking up His people!!
Ephsians 5:14:
"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine His light on you."
What does this verse mean to you guys? Do you dare to believe that God is raising up this generation? How much time are you willing to give to God to pray and seek His face to know Him?
God is going to send revival! Now is the time, so lets cry out!
