Why One Thing??

Psalm 27:4

--TheSecretPlace--

Hola, my friends..... I just wanted to #1 give an update to how the Dothan House of Prayer is going, and how the LORD is moving in us, and really all throughout Dothan. I am so blessed, and glad to be able to partner with the LORD in this hour, there is no greater joy than to partner with Jesus in intercession. It is through intercession that we establish justice, which I am so very stirred about.

Our prayer meetings are open to anyone, and everyone who wants to come and pray-- email me for any questions or more details. So if you would like to come at all, please come!

I was thinking about this verse, Psalm 27:4, and how there are so many onething conferences, and its like everywhere you look, and we always pray this. Though this verse is such an amazing verse, and I do not in any way want to put this verse down in any way--- I pray it all the time, I just want to look at it, and capture some of the intensity of this verse.

We pray "Lord, one thing have I desired, and I will seek this one thing with everything I am"

"Jesus you are my one thing"

"I will only set my face towards seeking you"

 "I want to sit in your presence, in your house, all the days of my life''

We pray these prayers, sometimes like they just roll off the tongue, or because they sound really spiritual, but these prayers are so much more than just merely words. When David wrote this prayer, and prayed this prayer, he had it burning in His heart more than anything. More than He wanted to be king, more than he wanted to sit on his throne, David wanted to sit at the FEET OF JESUS.

He was completely humbled in the realization of what he was made for, and made it his heart's cry to live for this higher calling--To live with a single purpose. 

He lived with a burning desire to know God, and to be known by God.(God knows everything about you, and He does know you, and He does love you the way you are, but when I say He wants to know you, I simply mean, He wants to have full reign in your life to guide you and direct you, and convict you, with you being willing to follow His lead.--I could know everything about you but our relationship will have no intimacy if we never speak into one another's lives. For our FRIENDSHIP to grow, we need to let iron sharpen iron)

When I think about this cry in David's heart for God, and GOD ALONE, I am blown away, and I am deeply moved to set everything in me for this very one thing. I am so moved, and convinced that there is nothing more fulfilling than sitting in the presence of the LORD, this is the ONE THING we were created for! We have no higher calling, and WHY IS THIS?? I believe that we can go to the beginning to answer that question--- He CREATED us FOR FELLOWSHIP.

So when we pray this 'one thing' prayer, we are not merely echoing the prayers of Mike Bickle, or Lou Engle, but when we pray this, we are saying from our hearts to the LORD, that He really is ALL we are living for, and He is so worthy to be the center of our focus, and love. 

I believe the LORD is calling this generation, and really all of His people to Himself in this holy love relationship, I believe He is saying, and asking His Bride, "Will I be your one thing?" What will our response be to His love, to this high calling that we were created for?

Will we say yes, fully understanding that when we commit ourselves to one thing, everything we do revolves around that one thing. Some might say that when you say yes to this, you are losing all of your life, to that I say YES--(Mt.10:39)-- Because we have to lose our lives to find our lives, Oh what a trade to lose our worldly, sinful lives to obtain life in Christ Jesus!!

OR 

will we say no, and remain a sleeping, lifeless bride?? Because if we try to save our lives, we will lose them(Mt.10:39).

After all of that, one thing comes into my mind, and that is that the Word of God is so immensely intense, and nothing that the Bible has written in it I fully understand, I am continually blown away.

---Intercession--- 

Father of glory, we come before you in thanksgiving that we may have full life in you. We are blessed to come into Your presence, and I just pray that you would fill us with Your Spirit even now, and that we would live, and walk in such a way that the fragrance of Your Name is noticed on our bodies by the way we live. We love you so much, and are thankful that You love us the way you do, Jesus THANK YOU! You are so wonderful! You are so great! Creations beauty does not even match the Beauty of Your face!! WE LOVE YOU!!! Bless you LORD! In Jesus Name! Amen, and Amen. 

Blessed-
