I keep signing up!

Lately my life has been like a rollercoaster, and hasn't been very fun for me! But GOD is still worthy of my praise because I know that I know he is faithful. Im in a season of I dont know what is going on BUT I know this GOD loves me and regardless he is faithful. And even though Im going through so much chaos and suffering and pain I still say YES! Im amazed every time that I sign up again to say Yes I will press in lord because its for your glory not mine. When God has called you to something it looks so pretty as he begin to give you the vision to do it. And then there comes the trials and tribulaitions and circumstances that tries to hold you back and of course there is Satan whispering in your ear did you really hear from GOD what are you doing? And my answer is Im standing and sometimes Im leaning because it gets hard but he is worth it all but I rest even in my weak YES because the Father says good job I love you your not backing down your staying the course. God has called me to come along side with other people to see there is night and day prayer in our city 24/7. I have no regrets of that at all no matter what it looks like to others because I have nothing to lose by wanting to wait on the LORD and to him do amazing things becuase those who wait ono the lord will not be put to shame. It takes faith to seat before a God that I cant see and make intercession from the revelation of knowing him out of a place intimacy so that I can together with all his children be a light to this world and demonstrate that from a place of identity in Christ. My weak YES is beautiful to him because its not out of striving but out of love for JESUS! It amazes me he takes joy in every step even when I dont feel anything he is doing more than what I can imagine. Im glad my identity and worth is found in that made for his pleasure and that he loves me.Last night at our Awakening Services Billy spoke on Psalm 113:6-9 says who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.
I had time where God was showing me Hannah in the bible how she prayed out of anguish for a son and then she worshiped the lord and then she waited and God answered her prayer. And I sometimes feel like like Hannah but last night I gave the lord those ashes exchange for beauty so my intercession is coming from a place of daughtership knowing that Abba hears me and he is pulling me out of the ash heap and seating me with princes. And the prince that I m seated with right now is JESUS in the heavenly places so therefore Beauty is going forth and the ashes are gone. No more ashes just Beauty because he is the HOPE of glory that lives on the inside of me and the holy-spirit is the one who testifies of that and gives me the love and joy that comes from the God of Hope! Prisoner of Hope, peristiant like the widow in Luke 18 ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE because when he returns I want to be found as one who has faith and oil and revelation of his beauty and goodness I want to be his friend and flow from a place that as I go Im doing good works out of friendship with JESUS! So once again I say YES!

Power and Love!

We are his beloved and he is ours and his banner over us is love. Song of Solomon 6:3Today the director at the International House Of Prayer-Atlanta talked about LOVE To sum up what he talked about is that when we love him and recieve his love we can love others without strings attached. Pure love is what GOD is after in our hearts. That we would really lay down our lives for one another just like he laid down his life for us. Early in the day I was just thinking about how to get the power of god is to know love and how to get the fullness of God is to know God according to Ephesians 3:19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too GREAT to understand fully. His love is so rich in depth that you can't fully undestand it. Then it goes on to say you will be made COMPLETE with all the FULLNESS of LIFE and POWER that comes from GOD. I was meditating on that in the prayer room and I came to this conclusion if you want power then begin to ask for your heart to be filled with the love of GOD because then you will be complete and then you will begin to walk in the fullness and then the power of GOD will flow out of you! You wouldnt need to strive anymore to get the power of the holy spirit that is already in you because he said he will empower you with might in your inner man (your spirit man). There is gloriuos unlimited resources in your spirit where Christ dwells in your heart where love flows from. We have to be the body of Christ that really loves one another, because if we don't its meanless. This whole Christianity thing is meanless without love and it wouldn't have any purpose. Power and Love go together we dont have to seperate the two. There is alot of power in LOVE, look at the cross and the power that came from that. Jesus taking all of our sins upon himself so he can have all of us. It was all because of LOVE!

Leaning On My Beloved!

Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? [ Beloved ] Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. Song of Solomon 8:5

Most Christians don't like to talk about the wilderness because its not all pleasant at times BUT its needed to draw us closer to JESUS himself and to know him for who he is. A man who is fully man and fully God with eyes of fire that burns for you. Most of us want roses and blue clouds all the time but this journey of being lovesick comes with a price. The price is forever longing until his return. That's why we need to ask GOD to set a seal over our hearts.Song of Solomon 8:6 So that our heart wouldn't be distracted by any other lover or other things that are temporal. We have to continue to have a steady gaze, so nothing can hinder his love from entering in. For LOVE is strong as the death its jealousy as enduring as the grave. That kind of passion moves my heart that JESUS is so passionate about having all of us that he desires that we have the fullness of his love according to Ephesians 3:19. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of LIFE and POWER that comes from GOD. In times of trials and difficulty just lean on your beloved he will lead you into revelation of his love and you will know the love of Christ by allowing him to speak to you tenderly in the wilderness. You might be limping now but you will come out BEAUTIFUL covered with Glory because your gaze is steady. Dont be shaken by trials and circumstances come out leaning on your beloved.Its a journey of LOVE and the Father is forming you into the image of his son so that you can stand on that day in confident in love. A covenant of love that can't be broken! (IHOP-KC) is singing that as I type this blog! Ha!
