I WAS JUST THINKING...

WILL YOU ARISE?

God is raising up a generation that will celebrate and embrace true intimacy. Through this celebration and embracing true holiness will come forth.
This is a generation that will invite the coals from the altar to be pressed upon their lips.
A generation that longs for clean hands and a pure heart.
A generation that will not lift their souls to an idol.
This generation that will run against a troop; they will leap over a wall.
This generation will cry out to seek the Lord, to dwell in His house, and to gaze upon His beauty.
This generation will lock eyes with the Beautiful Man, Jesus.
This generation will give freely because they have received freely.
This generation will not give sleep to their eyes or slumber to their eyelids until a resting place is found by the Lord.
This generation will lift up their hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.
They will be ones that live and release the Kingdom.
They will be ones that will prophecy to the dry bones and say “LIVE! “
They will be ones who will walk in the spirit of Elijah, and like John the Baptist, and they will seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
They will be burning lamps!
They will arise and shine for they know that their light has come.
They will be ones that know that the glory of the Lord is risen upon them.
They know that the Gentiles will come to their light and the kings to their brightness.
They will walk in an unction, be baptized with fresh fire, and they will die daily.
Their cry, their plea, will be “More of Him and less of me! More of Him and less of me!”
This generation will have the Spirit of the Lord upon them; they will preach the Good News, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captives.
They will be blood-bought, blood washed, and they will know to whom they belong to and to whom they live for.
These signs shall follow them, for they do believe. They will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, and they will lay their hands on the sick so that they can recover
Their shadow will be dangerous, their speech will be dangerous, and the way they love will be dangerous.

I WAS JUST THINKING...

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

I heard the most beautiful thing today at the House of Prayer. A recent convert prayed and my heart just melted. The way that she described her love for the Lord, and the way she told him how much she loved Him, really made me jealous( in a good way of course). She kept saying how wonderful He was, she told Him,” From your feet to your head, you are wonderful!” I got a kick out of this. Every religious bone in my body kept thinking,” It’s from head to toe.” Her sincerity pierced my heart and caused me to bow down in reverence and awe.

I pray that we will come back to our first love. That we would come back to the place of being overwhelmed and grateful for who He is. Sometimes we can get caught up in doing this and doing that, but I want to encourage you to pause and think/ponder about when He first called you and He first came to you. Begin to thank Him, worship Him and adore Him. Allow Him to come NOW and fill the room. Allow His embrace to hold you close. Go ahead, breathe Him in… rest your heard on His chest. He is a good God, a safe Savior; He is your comfort, your joy, your everything!


Prayer: JESUS I COME BACK TO YOUR EMBRACE, I COME BACK TO YOUR LOVE. HELP ME TO KNOW HOW DEEP, HOW WIDE, HOW LONG AND HOW HIGH IS YOUR LOVE FOR ME.
AMEN
