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.

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

-Meditation-

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.
