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!!
