Are You Looking?

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

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

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

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

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

:) I love Him.

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

Thank you Jesus.

Amen.

Living by Faith and not the Law

-Meditation-

Galatians 3:1-14

-Breaking it Down-

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

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

Psalm 37:23-24

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

Best Love

-Meditation-

Song 1:1

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

Your LOVE is BETTER than WINE.

-TheSecretPlace-

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

God's Desire

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

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

His Presence Brings Delight

-Meditation-

Song of Songs 2:3b

With great DELIGHT I sat in His shadow

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

--The Secret Place--

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

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

We are dark, but lovely. Song 1:5

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

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

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

---Intercession---

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

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

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

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

Forerunners Announce The Second Coming of Jesus

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Greatest Revival In All Human History

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jesus we love you!

Life is Short

Life on earth is so short! All we have is at the most 80-90 years, and how we live our short short lives here->AFFECTS THE REST OF OUR LIVES IN ETERNITY. We will live forever. [in scripture God clearly gives eternal life to mankind alone. He desires you, and He desires me to be with Him forever]

Here is my thought.

If you and I are going to live forever, and everything we do on this earth has everything to do with how we will live in the age to come-Why would we give ourselves to anyone or anything before we give ourselves wholly to Jesus Christ?

Why would you try to figure out a guy or a girl before you gave yourself to figuring out, and searching out the deep things of God?

Why would you give your time to video games, and the internet when you could be setting your heart, and your EYES on things above.

Psalm 119:37

Turn my eyes away from worthless things, O God, and preserve my life according to YOUR WORD.

So my question to you, and to myself is this: Do we know His Word? Have we given ourselves to know Him like He wants us to? That is with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Are our eyes on worthless things? When our gaze is on worthless things we blind ourselves to the beauty of God. The BEAUTY OF JESUS.

->He deserves our full(time-day and night) gaze

Have we begun to enter into the place of loving Jesus with all we are.

Here is the challenge

Will we do whatever it takes to take our eyes off of ourselves, and give our gaze to Jesus?

What will it take?

I want to challenge you to examine your life, and ask the Lord to reveal any area of sin in your life that you need to deal with in the way He wants you to deal with, and then deal with it.

Maybe you just need to get into a more disciplined schedule so that you can spend more time with Him.

Whatever it takes and whatever is necessary is what He wants from us to come closer to His heart. So that you and I may know Him, and enter into the knowledge of God into eternity.

Let us join together in cutting out those things that hinder us from love.

Song of Solomon 8:6-7

⁶Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
jealousy is fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the LORD.
⁷Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his house,
he would be utterly despised.

A Day in His Chambers

--->Meditation: Song of Solomon 1:4:

Draw me after you; let us run. The King has brought me into His chambers. We will exult and rejoice in You; we will extol(remember) Your LOVE more than wine; rightly do they love You.

--->Revelation -The King has brought me into His chambers.

Today I was amazed as I came to the LORD in His word. I find when I first get into His word through meditation(long & loving as Mike Bickle says) I enter into seeing the Lord with clear eyes, and I find myself overwhelmed by the love of Jesus-even when I don't feel anything. So today I came before Him reading and meditating on the simple phrase 'the king has brought me into His chambers' I began to talk to Him about it and He shared with me what I am going to share with you today.

The King's chambers referring to Jesus as our King and the secret place His chambers for me is that place of deep fellowship with Him, the place where He so intimately whispers to our hearts what is really on His mind. His desires. His passion. The chambers of our King Jesus is the place where we choose what is better instead of doing 'other' things we choose to sit at His feet, and in response to our humility He makes His love known to the ones He loves-You and I! His chamber is where He deeply makes Himself known. His chamber is the deepest place of His heart reserved for the hungry heart of man. The things He makes known to the children of man in this place are the things even angels wonder about, the things they long to look into. The fellowship between God and His people is friendship beyond what any mind could ever imagine.

There is nothing greater in this life than to be loved by the King of kings and LORD of lords. His grace and mercy and love are freely given to those who are in need-those who are seeking, and loving Him wholeheartedly. Why would we settle for less as He invites us to this place of encounter-whether it is dramatic or it seems like you are somehow missing it. His invitation to His people, His bride I believe is to just receive His love, and to live in Him. To know Him.

The secret place is more than a requirement of Christianity- it is where we come into knowing Jesus, it is the place where we find who we are, what we were made for, and how He wants us to live. The foundations are laid in love as we seek the Lord in this place. The invitation to love Jesus is to give everything to Him in wholehearted obedience.

He loves to make Himself known to the ones He loves.

Putting my hands back to the clay

For a little while now I have taken a break from posting as you may have noticed. Even though this is true the LORD has still been showing new aspects of Himself, and old aspects of myself the I have been unaware of. In showing me those old aspects of myself, thankfully, He has been helping me to die to those old ways and take on His new ways. I am very thankful for what the Lord has been doing in my life. Even though I mess up constantly His grace covers me still, and He shows me how to 'get better' and receive forgiveness, and mercy.

Yesterday the Lord really moved my heart, and reminded me how much I LOVE TO WRITE!!! =] And how much He loves me to write also! I feel His delight over me as I write on this blog once again, and simply do one little thing I love to do for Him. I know that even though this is a small small thing He loves it and will use it to move His kingdom. I found yesterday that for the Azusa Street Revival, which was 100 years ago, Frank Bartleman daily wrote, and journal-ed about what the Lord was doing in the revival . I also found that Frank B., even before the revival began, would daily write/journal in some sort of paper that people read. The reason I mention this is because the Lord in showing me this gave me such excitement and confidence that I am hearing Him right in doing this blog. It is amazing how one little journal this man named Frank Bartleman faithfully kept over the years before and during this great revival impacted many lives for the Kingdom of God!! Because he faithfully wrote so many heard of what the Lord was doing, and by hearing their faith was stirred-kindling a passion for the supernatural God we were made for!!

Though I say all of this in excitement, and expectation I know that keeping this blog will be really hard. Still, because of the days we are living in I know the LORD is calling me to take note of what He is doing, and even what He is showing me in the secret place. I realize that it doesn't even matter if anyone reads this! This blog is for the LORD! So I am really blessed because He reads it. =] Just thought I would throw that in here. I do want to ask all who read to be praying that the Lord would continue to call me to write, and even for the saints in our city, nation, and the earth to answer the call of God on their lives. I have heard so many a time that it just takes one person for the Lord to use to start revival-even though He could start revival with no one at all- I want to encourage us to just live in obedience, and wholehearted love to Him. The Lord is faithful to those who remain faithful to Him.

I will be posting everyday as much as possible.

My Revelation To Share.

=]

I can't resist.

Song Of Solomon 1:4

Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol(remember) your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.

RIGHTLY DO THEY LOVE YOU!!

I have been meditating on this scripture, and one thing the Lord has shown me is that no matter what I am doing or how I feel about Him or even what I think He thinks about me if I am loving Him according to His command I am right before Him!! Think about it search it out.

What does this mean?

For me, I am always striving to be right before the LORD, and sometimes I get really stressed out because I think I am not making Him think I am right or I feel like I have messed up too much to be right before Him even after I confess and repent. (He has been killing that old mindset in me) I have found in this little phrase in Song of Solomon that it doesn't matter what I have done, but as I love Him with all my heart -according to His Word- He finds my heart in total righteousness! He is the God who is LOVE who keeps NO RECORD OF WRONG!!

This alone blows my mind.

He loves me-He loves US! MORE THAN WE KNOW!!

ha ha. =] He just makes me happy!

So! Let's dig once again! And follow Jesus on this path we are on!

From the desk of Lou Engle:

Friends,

Recently, I sent out an urgent call to prayer concerning the healthcare bill. I received some constructive feedback challenging me to look at the situation of the poor and those who cannot afford healthcare. I want to clarify that I believe there must healthcare reform. As believers, we need to identify deeply with the agonizing injustice that the poor, and those dealing with overwhelming medical situations face everyday as they encounter the exorbitant cost of healthcare in it's present form.

The Funding of Abortion

We must pray for our leaders that God would give them wisdom to handle the complexities of healthcare in a compassionate and just way. However, the main premise of my appeal was that we cannot allow a healthcare system that helps the poor yet allows for systemic abortion to be mainstreamed in society. President Obama recently declared on a phone call to christian leaders across the nation that federally funded abortion is not in this healthcare bill, but that is not true. Seven amendments were put forward in the Senate and the House that would not permit tax payer funded abortions in the healthcare plan. All of them were rejected. All the President needs to do to confirm his word is to declare that he will veto every healthcare plan that includes the funding of abortion. I would not expect that to happen because the funding of abortion is part and parcel of the whole agenda.

It's Time

As believers, we must insist on compassion for the poor without compromising the moral absolutes of the sacredness of life from conception to death. I will be sending out a statement on this issue once again before the September 8th reconvening of our government leaders in D.C. It's a time to pray and it's a time to raise our voices.

Lou Engle | President, TheCall, Inc.

He loves me.

Lately I have been thinking, and meditating just on this hugely overlooked treasure of how the LORD feels about me, and how He loves me, and all I am for Him, and all I do for Him. And really even though it is good to do things for Him I am more overcome by this simple truth that He loves me no matter what I do, and He is pleased with me more than anything right now. Just the fact that I can sit down and be still and not do anything, and Him be completely overwhelmed that I love Him, and want to be with Him-how amazing is that!

To be loved by God has to be the coolest thing for me right now because even when I get busy, and it's hard to find a moment to just sit and be with Him-He loves me the same, and He doesn't take away any plans He has for my life, but He uses what is going on to write my story down in that little book that He has written all of my days in.

It is an amazing thing. When I get to heaven, and I stand before me-I cannot wait for this-He will tell me how He feels about me, and I will get to hear Him say it to me face to face out loud, and I love this-He only thinks good things about me. Yes He corrects me, and sometimes He rebukes me.... which is not unheard of, but He still loves me the same, and He still feels the same way about me.

So one thing I have to think about is how can I love Him.... in any way even close to the way He loves me, and really I can't think of anything other than what He says He wants from us, and that is wholehearted love.

Wholehearted love moves His heart-even though our love is weak-it moves Him in ways we cannot understand.

I love that!

He just wants us to love Him with everything, and that doesn't mean we have to do all of the ''right'' church required things, and it doesn't really mean that we go out and party all the time, but it just simply means that with all that we are=we focus ourselves on loving Him. And I don't know if that qualifies as a definition, but I know that He just wants our love. So however that looks for you.... for me.... that is all He wants.

That helps me to sleep at night.

I was made for this love.

hmmm.......

That is really cool.

Captured

Wow. So I have not posted in over a week.

I have been so blessed this week by what the LORD has done in my life, and what He is doing even now in my own life, and in the lives of others. I have been witnessing people being ministered to by God, and I am so ready to just get into the place of prayer now more than ever.

This week has been our church youth conference, and the LORD just spoke to my heart all week about the issue, and sin of sexual immorality, and how my generation desperately needs deliverance from it. One thing we so often neglect, and do not realize is that sexual immorality is not confined to having sex before you are married, or while you are married with someone else, but it is also things like looking at the opposite like you shouldn't, and even thinking about someone impurely, and more so than you need to be, and more so than God. We can fall into sexual immorality with our physical body, our minds-thoughts, and our eyes, and really many other ways as well. I am convinced that we need deliverance from this.

We were created for fascination. We each have longing in our hearts for intimacy, and partnership, and love. We long to be known, and loved. We desire to be told who we really are, and what importance we really have.

These longings are not sin, and these desires are not of Satan, but truly of God we have only perverted the ways they are fulfilled in us. God's plan is to lead us into the ultimate fulfillment of our longings, but we have so often taken it into our own hands. We have slowly, surely, and secretly been searching to be satisfied by the things of this world, and we have been caught up in these acts of sin.

These things only lead us to depression, sadness, suicide, and only more unfulfilled desire.

Truly and ultimately I tell you today, there is only ONE THING ONE PERSON ONE MAN ONE GOD who can TRULY SATISFY. At His right hand are pleasures forever more.

There is only one thing, One God, who can satisfy. We know this in our minds, yes, but I want to challenge you today to let this sink down deep into your heart. You have been looking for God, for what is real, and His invitation to you is extended. Who will accept, and receive His love?

If you want to be free, there is freedom in Jesus, and the only way to get free, and to stay free is to come to God, and then live your life going hard after God.

We can no longer be satisfied with a perverted version of Christianity. We need the real Jesus, and we need to live real Christian lifestyles in all boldness.

There is more to this life than we know, and my question to you is will you go after the more, and if you will how?

If you don't figure this out now then when will you, and are you willing to post-pone true life-true living even more? This lifestyle takes devotion, and humility, and we are fully able to live this lifestyle. Are you ready to be free? Will you step out in faith and go after the only one worthy of praise? Or do you choose to stay in the same place where you are at, and possibly remain in bondage, and remain with the same old strongholds holding you down? There is freedom in Jesus, and this is an invitation to all who need even a little turn around.

I pray you would be blessed, and find favor with the LORD. He loves YOU! Be blessed. In Jesus Name.

Faithful

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.

--TheSecretPlace--

Hello all. I would like to let you who read this know that I will not be able to post on this blog for the next week, I will have no access to a computer.

Before we get started on 1 Samuel 3, I just wanted to take this post to talk about the LORD's faithfulness. Faith will remain forever, because the LORD will be forever faithful to us, His Bride, and we will be forever faithful to Him, our Bridegroom God.

Something that really strikes my heart about how the LORD truly is faithful to us is that He loves to be faithful to us, He really enjoys it! There are so many times when I am carrying out a commitment to the LORD, and to others, and sadly it is not really the most fun or enjoyable thing for me to be doing-even though it is the best thing for me to be doing. But the LORD is not like that at all. He loves to be faithful to us. He sees us for who we really are, and He wants to show us how He loves us, and He wants to be with us forever.

He wants to establish faithfulness in our own hearts as well, because it lasts forever. God is the Everlasting-Eternal God, and because He is forever the work He establishes within in, if we let it, will last forever. The fact alone that God is faithful to us because He wants to be faithful to us makes me want to be faithful to Him, because in all of my falling, and failing He is still so faithful to me, and He still wants me in His kingdom so we can be together forever! How could we not respond in faithfulness to a love like this. I want to encourage you and tell you that He is just as faithful to you as He is with all of His children, and in all that He does. His faithfulness is great, and it lasts forever-into eternity. We get to be established in His faithfulness. We get to be the ones He is faithful to!! The God of the universe loves you, and is faithful in all He does. So in that I want to encourage you that in all the LORD has put on your heart to do, and in all that you are doing in your life right now even if it doesn't really seem to spiritual, be faithful in all you do, and do it as if you are doing it for the LORD. He will reward you. He sees you!! And He loves you!!!!

How blessed are those who put their trust, and hope, and faith, and love in the LORD!!

Be blessed!!!!!

---Intercession---

Lord, I thank You for being faithful to us even though we are undeserving. God there is no greater love than the LOVE You show us, and I ask Father that You would make Yourself known to us in ways we have never known You. Jesus thank You for loving us, and thank you for being faithful. I pray that You would help us to be faithful to You as well. I love You LORD. Be blessed! And thank You for loving us. In Jesus Name. Amen.

He Is Raising Up Faithful Priests

-Meditation-

1 Samuel 2:34-36

³⁴ " 'And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day. ³⁵ I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his house, and he will minister before my anointed one always. ³⁶ Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a crust of bread and plead, "Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat." ' "

--TheSecretPlace--

I just want to take some time on verse 35.

I love this verse because we see here what God is looking for. We see here just a little bit what God is searching for, and what He is raising up in His house even now. We also can see through this one verse, this one word from the LORD what we will be forever in the kingdom of God, and that is we will be faithful to the LORD, we will do whatever we do according to His heart, and we will minister to Jesus forever, and always-This is also what we are called to do/be even now. I love that! It is an amazing thing to me when we can actually look into what God has for us to do now into eternity! He desires a people who are faithful in all they do. He desires a people who will minister to Him, and before Him always, and this is what I want to encourage you in today.

The LORD made this known to Eli, and when the LORD speaks what He is saying is(or it should be) the most important thing that concerns you. He was telling Eli that basically I gave you a chance, but you were unfaithful, so now I will raise up one who will be faithful to my heart, and I am going to bring one to my house who will do according to my heart-one who loves me the way I show Him how to love me-one who wants to do according to my heart-you were more concerned about yourself, and now I am going to raise one up who wants what I want more than what they want.

The LORD was making known what He wanted, and I believe that the LORD is the same today as He was that very day, and I dare to say that this is what the LORD is offering us, His people to be. In every area of life we can be faithful, and in every area of our lives no matter what we are doing we can be ministering to, and before the LORD.

We are so blessed!!!

So I want to encourage you and challenge you in saying that this is what you were made for-loving God, and this verse is just a mere picture of what that somewhat looks like.

You were made for LOVE-and God is love. So why not spend your time with LOVE Himself, and why not spend your life ministering to His heart out of your love for Him. I believe He wants to encounter you, and when you set your heart on Him, no matter how you go after Him, when you do go after Him you provoke His heart in a holy way to where He can't help but meet with you, and show you His heart.

Man! HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!

My prayer is that you would be encouraged to position your heart in such a way that you will be able to love the LORD with your whole heart.

I just want to encourage you also to open up your heart and ask Him how He wants you to come before Him, and minister to Him. I want to encourage you to pursue Him in all the ways He is calling you to, and sometimes it is hard, and sometimes you really won't feel like obeying Him, but trust me His voice is sweet, and His face is lovely, and when you come face to face with our God in the secret place words will not be able to describe the ways He encounters you, and the ways He reveals Himself to YOU! Because HE REALLY LOVES YOU!! And HE REALLY REALLY LIKES YOU!! Be encouraged! Be blessed in your pursuit of the LORD!

---Intercession---

Jesus I pray that you would strengthen your Bride, and Your people to pursue you with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. I love You, and thank You for how You love us, and are doing great things among us, and I pray that You would help us. We love You, in Jesus Name. Amen.

1 Samuel 2:30-33

³⁰ "Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: 'I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before me forever.' But now the LORD declares: 'Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained. ³¹ The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your family line ³² and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, in your family line there will never be an old man. ³³ Every one of you that I do not cut off from my altar will be spared only to blind your eyes with tears and to grieve your heart, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life.

Let's dig into this scripture. When I first read this I was a little confused, and wondered why in the world this Bible was telling me what I thought to be God breaking His promise to Aaron(Ex. 29; Lev.8-9; Nu. 16-17;25:13) because of Eli. I was very confused, and that is why I have yet to post on this scripture. So I dug into it a little, and I looked back on the scripture where God sets up Aaron, and his sons to be priests to the LORD, and I also read some of the notes out of my Study Bible, and that helped too! So I understand a little more than I did before, but honestly I have not searched out this passage as much as I would like to, and as much as it deserves to be searched out.--So I will be doing more digging.

For now I feel like I should throw out some thoughts on it.

Basically I have found a few things in this scripture that I believe are of importance, and one thing is that the LORD does not break His promises, and He is very very faithful to His word. He set up the tribe of Levi to minister before Him always, and because Eli, and his family did not honor the LORD in serving Him, the LORD decided to forever exclude Eli, and his household from ministering to the LORD because they were -fully aware- honoring themselves first, and not paying attention to the command of the LORD. Eli, and his sons were being unfaithful to the LORD, and 2 Samuel 22:26-27 says

"To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd."

The LORD does not break His promises, but those who break their side of the covenant, and refuse to repent, and are crooked^^in their ways, He shows Himself to them shrewd, and stands in righteousness. I am not done with this passage, and I feel like I have not even begun a deep study into it-I have a long way to go.

I want to ask you, and challenge you to search this out. Dig into the Word of God, and ask the LORD what this whole passage means, don't just take my word for it but instead wrestle with the LORD in this(Acts 17:11), and find the meaning of this scripture, and I will do the same.

I want to encourage you to let me know your thoughts on this, and let me know what you find in scripture concerning these things.

Remember that the LORD loves to show true wise things to His children-those who are foolish in the world's eyes- to confound the world's wise!

---Intercession---

Father of glory, I ask in Jesus Name that You would give Your servants reading this, and those who are not reading this a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You as we search out Your Word. Let Your presence fill our hearts, and our homes. God I pray that You would be eternally glorified in us. I love You, and I ask that You would equip us to search out Your Word, and take our place with You in the heavenly realms. In Jesus Name. Amen.

God Has a Better Way.

I got this e-mail today, and I wanted to put it out there for all who read this blog to read. As I read this, and listened to this video my heart was broken within me, we truly do not realize the hour we are in, and it is time to get on our faces before the LORD, and return to Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The hour is urgent for the people of God to cry out to Him in intercession for our country, and even the nations of the earth.

God Has a Better Way

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As you may know, three years ago, I sent my son and several young people to San Francisco to pray that the love of God would be poured out on the homosexual community in the Castro district. For three years they wept, worshiped and witnessed in the Castro. Then the Prop8 contention arose. I found myself in the great challenge to represent Christ's love to the homosexual and at the same time stand against deception and the homosexual agenda that is threatening to mainstream destructive lifestyles and laws into the veins of American life and culture. Jesus modeled the proper posture and was described by the Apostle John as full of grace and truth. We must be filled with the love, compassion and mercy of Christ when ministering to the homosexual, but we must recognize the spiritual darkness behind the homosexual agenda and confront it with massive intense fasting and prayer.

Five years ago we launched a prayer movement that became Bound4LIFE and is now multiplying across the nation contending against abortion and praying for adoption. It is time to raise up a nation wide prayer movement now to stand in the gap crying to God to restrain the homosexual ideology that is hostile to biblical ways and the freedoms we have been able to live in and enjoy in the 233 years of our American history. Even now in certain places christian schools are being pressed to teach pro-homosexual curriculum. Pending hate crime bills will make it extremely difficult for people simply to speak truth on this subject in the public square. In Massachusetts we are very near the point where pastors will not be able to preach biblical truth without punitive measures being taken against them.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, a great stand of truth with compassion is now being made through the church that is actually turning the tide of the homosexual agenda there. Dr. Michael Brown, well known as a catalyst in the revival in Brownsville, is spearheading this movement, speaking with clarity the biblical understanding of the homosexuality, but also ministering and witnessing in love to the community.

This past weekend we called for a 21-day season of fasting and prayer in Charlotte and in Atlanta declaring we must win the battle against spiritual unseen powers if we are going to see freedom for the homosexual and the restraining of the ideology. 40 years ago the Stonewall Riots of New York City, marked the beginning of the homosexual revolution. 40 years later we are coming to the ripening and legal empowering of the movement. Apart from God there is no way of turning this back. We are headed the way of many European nations, but I believe the Lord wants to raise up a "Stonewall" of intercession, a prayer stand if you will, expressed in Ezekiel 22:30 "I looked for a man to stand in the gap to build up a wall before me ...".

In Charlotte, and on this 21-day season of fasting, we are seeking to begin to build that wall of prayer. After my time in Charlotte I came home and watched that movie, Facing the Giants with my children. I was stunned at the last part of the movie when the Richmond Giants are on the one yard line ready to score. The opposing coach shouts to his team who have been experiencing spiritual revival, "Build me a stonewall!" The team stops the giants from scoring on four downs and then in amazing turnaround score themselves. I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me "Build me a Stonewall of intercession that could hold back this giant rumbling across America."

On July 25th, the 21st day of the fast, we are calling those whose hearts stir them from around the nation, to come join Dr. Michael Brown for a day of intercession and public sensitive witness on Charlotte's gay pride day. Our desire is that God would raise up a house of prayer to contend there against the spiritual powers behind the ideology and to contend for an outpouring of the delivering power of Jesus that can set the homosexual, the transgender, and the porn addict free. Come take your stand with our brothers and sisters in Charlotte and cry out to God for a great mercy to sweep over America.

I also just wanted to encourage you that the LORD may turn, and send revival to America. Your prayers move the heart of God, so let us comtinue on in the place of prayer!

I believe the LORD could turn the tide, and pour out His Spirit, and this is what I am hoping for.

There is NO ONE like our God!

I am currently thinking about how the LORD honors those who honor Him, and how even though the best way we honor Him doesn't even compare to the ways He honors us, but we are still loving and honoring Him with all we are--even though it is weak, and broken. I also am thinking about how our prayers move His heart, and He moves our hearts, and the thing about that is that our prayers move His heart so much more than His feelings, and emotions move our hearts because we cannot wrap our minds around the love He has for us, and the way He feels about us. Even though that may be the case, I still want to be moved by Him, and I want to be moved in the way even He is moved. His heart longs to be with us, and if we could wrap our minds around that I believe we would be in the secret place more than anywhere else. It is amazing that the LORD wants us, and is willing to wait for us to come to Him before He shows us His heart, because we can't know His heart until we get to the place where we can learn from Him, and get into His heart. Does that make since? We can't know God unless we get to the place where He makes Himself known. We need to get to this place. I realize also that though this is the most important place where we can be spending our time, it is sometimes very hard to stay in the place of prayer, but even, and especially when it is hard the LORD sees us, and if we would stay faithful, and persevere when it's hard, He will pour out His Spirit, and really sometimes the waiting process is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

But the LORD is still faithful, and He wants to know if we will still be faithful even if He prolongs revival, and the break-through, and whatever we are contending for in prayer. Will we still believe He is in the middle of our circumstances when we are surrendered if everything seems to be going down the tubes?

I know that it is hard to stay true, and in the place of prayer a lot, but the LORD loves our efforts, and He loves that we want to stay true, He loves that we are honest that we want to be with Him, but it is just a little rough sometimes, but in Jesus there is delight evermore because we can rest in the truth that HE LOVES US. HE CARES ABOUT US. HE IS INTIMATELY ACQUAINTED WITH OUR WAYS.

Praise the LORD.

This is what we were created for, and this is what-WHO we were made to give our lives to. In intercession, in intimacy with Jesus.

I just want to encourage you, where ever you are in life, to really examine the weight in this, and to really seek the LORD in how He wants you to pursue Him, and love Him, and I promise you that when you choose to seek the LORD you will be blessed like never before, and there will really even be a revival in your heart.

Be Blessed!

You are loved beyond what you know!

Loving God First.

1 Samuel 2:27-29

²⁷ Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Did I not clearly reveal myself to your father's house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? ²⁸ I chose your father out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your father's house all the offerings made with fire by the Israelites. ²⁹ Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?'

--TheSecretPlace--

Hello all, I just want to talk about this scripture with you for a few moments, and really look in at what the LORD would say to us through it, and concerning it.

First before you go on why don't you read again the scripture posted up top.

I will let the Word speak for itself, we see that the LORD revealed Himself CLEARLY to Eli's house, and called them to a place of honor, and yet they did not honor the LORD more than anything.

Eli and his sons had little honor for the LORD even though they were priests to the LORD. I also see that a lot of people even in the body of Christ are like this. They have been called to the Light, and are children of God, and they go to church, but they honor their ways of being 'good Christians' even more than they honor God, and I am not speaking of any person specifically, I just believe that this is an evil spirit going throughout the church that is attacking believers.

We are called to be people who honor God FIRST. We are called to LOVE HIM FIRST, and to not let anything, or anyone else get in the way of that. Let's run after God with love in our hearts.

I believe this is the most important thing for us as God's people to do, and I believe Jesus even made this clear while He was on earth, and that is to love the LORD our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The LORD is looking for men, and women who will walk in this high calling, and be found in His LOVE.

Let's be found in LOVE with our First Love Jesus Christ.

---Intercession---

God I just ask for Your help. Lord, we are in desperate need of You, and I just ask that You would convict us in the areas of life where we need convicting, and I pray that You would stir our hearts in holy love for You Jesus. You are our Jewel, our Prize, and I just pray that You would overcome us, Your Bride, with revelation of Your LOVE. How You love us, and how we are called to love You. Please be our Help LORD, I love you. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Stay In The House Of The LORD.

1 Samuel 2:26

²⁶ And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with men.

--TheSecretPlace--

Hey everyone. I just want to share some of my thoughts on this verse. As you probably know up to this point I would say a lot has happened, Hannah prayed to the LORD for a child, and the LORD blessed her with Samuel, and then just as she vowed she would, she gave Samuel back to the LORD forever. Then from that point on Samuel ministered to the LORD in His house under Eli the priest. Eli's sons were committing a lot of sin, and throughout this scripture so far over, and over, and over it says things like this verse. 'Samuel continued to minister to the LORD' 'Samuel continued to grow in stature, and in favor with the LORD, and with men.' Over and over we can see how Samuel just stays in the house of the LORD, and yes we are only 2 chapters into this book, but these 2 chapters really have taken place over years, and it is amazing to see that year after year, and time after time Samuel is still in the house of the LORD, and even though he is not too old here, that doesn't take away from the fact that the lifestyle he lived was so radical to God!

Here is Samuel, and he is this young kid in the house of the LORD, and here are Eli, the high priest's sons, and they are being found committing great sin. Samuel is found right in the eyes of the LORD, and he is growing in favor with GOD, and with men, and Eli's sons are found condemned, and the the Word even says that it was the LORD's will to put them to death. Eli's sons were priests, and they were put to death. Samuel was just a kid who lived in the house of the LORD, and he lived!! He was completely given to the LORD, and he lived, and was used mightily by the LORD. Samuel's age did not hinder him from being favored, and respected, and in the same way we need to be people who no matter what examples are being set before us, we are pursuing the LORD, and loving Him with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. I believe there will come times when you are the only one to 'stay in the house of the LORD', but through those times when you stand firm, you are storing up treasures in heaven, and you will grow in the LORD, and in favor with the LORD.

So my encouragement to you right now is to no matter where you are in life, and no matter what others are wanting you to do, and no matter what others are doing, if you would be faithful in the place of prayer, you will not only grow in the LORD, but you will also be storing up treasures in heaven. Continue on in the place of prayer! There is no telling what your prayers prayed in faith might move in the heavenly realms. God loves to hear your voice in prayer, and that alone gives us reason to pray. HE LOVES IT! HE LOVES US! May His kingdom come to earth! May His will be done in us!

---Intercession---

Jesus I just want to thank You for how you honor those who honor You, and for always helping us to know, and love You. You are Wonderful, and Beautiful, and I just ask in Jesus Name that You would extend Your arm to help us pursue You in even the lowest place so that we may even see Your face. I pray that we would have faith to stay in the place of prayer no matter what everyone else is doing. We trust in You, and I just ask for You to rend the heavens, and come down. We love You Jesus.
