The Plans of Man

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:41:13 -0500

Man has a plan, but it's man. America thinks organization equals Heavenly Mandate, so much so, the more organized the work, the more it reaches and the more we heed it with validity. For certain, Organization places a network outward, becoming what people can choose to relate to. No Army functions without Organization, but there is a way that seems foolish, yet it can contain the very Wisdom of GOD to those who have an ear. JESUS HAS To Build The House. He is the Foundation of every thought and motive, He is the Entry to every access of the soul and spirit, and He is the Finisher of

The Race we all run. When man comes up with a Plan, it propogates itself thru Cloned reproduction. Everyone does the same thing all over till we believe it got done. IF JESUS Did not DO it, it didnt get done. Work, time, effort, monies spent, calls and contacts and meetings and assemblies and shouts and declarations only matter when the Origins, the Plan, the Labors and the Finalizations ALL are JESUS.. If it didnt start with Seeking, it didnt originate from Heaven. If the Direction is out of Hearing GOD Speak His Will, it did..Make certain we do nothing without HIM being The Beginning, The Center, and The End..

The Prayer of Intimacy

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Let us all pray this prayer for ourselves in the New Year:
"God, tenderize my heart again so that I desire to return to You as my first love. Wherever my heart has drifted or gotten lukewarm, return me back to You. God, I give You permission to do whatever it takes to make me wholly Yours. Set my heart on fire for You. Send a holy ambush of Your Spirit into my life to usher me out of the ruts that have hindered me from being a dreamer, a lover and a warrior.
Please forgive me for ___________ (here be as specific as you can be and take as long as you need). Thank You for Your total forgiveness of my sins. That is such a precious gift to me.
How I ache to know You more! Draw me close and speak tenderly to my heart. I want to develop a secret history with You, Lord. Captivate my heart with the gazes of Your eyes. I want to see You face-to-face and not through the lattice, as Your Word says. Put Your seal on my heart so I am fully Yours..
Now, Lord, I ask You to release the fiery whirlwind of Your presence with a fresh impartation of Your heart into my heart. I ask You to revolutionize my life from the inside out. Let an earthquake in my heart break up the fallow ground. Let the lightning of God strike me so that I become God-conscious instead of self-conscious.
Jesus, I am ready to give up control of my life and put You in charge again. Forgive me for thinking that I know what is best for my life. It is hard for me to let go; the warfare has been so intense and the storms of life so great. But I can see that my way is not working. I am heartsick about my life. I want to run to You and not from You. Give me grace and humility to accept Your timing in my life.
Burn in me a holy desperation and craving for You. I need a profound touch from You, a fresh baptism of fire from the Holy Spirit. I want a force field of Your glory surrounding me so I am dangerous for God. Will You radiate Your love and power through my life so I can do exploits as You promised?
I want to be a carrier of Your glory and go outside the walls of the church, touching people in every arena of life. Lord, I want to know the times and seasons we live in.
Let me see people through Your eyes and not my own; help me feel Your heart for those around me. Break my heart for the lost. Cause revival to burn so deeply in my spirit that others cannot help but be changed by coming in contact with me.
I do not want business as usual, Jesus! I want a radical visitation from You. I must have a visitation. I want an open Heaven over my life. Will You help me to legislate Your mandates from Heaven, to bring them to earth so I see things from Your perspective and not my own? I am asking You for divine strategies so Your Kingdom will come.
Open my eyes so that I can see what is happening in the realm of the Spirit. How I need keen discernment for the days I live in. I want to get Your plans, Your blueprints so I do not build on the "land mines" the enemy has planned for me.
I want my heart to bless Your heart and give You the love that You deserve. Awaken my heart to worship You. I want to be one who desires You only.
Lord, I want to give You my life no matter what the cost. Even as You died for me, help me to be willing to die for You. You are worth everything I have. All I am--my past, present and future--is at the foot of the Cross. Take all of me.
Help me to be a big dreamer with You, dreamer God.
Help me to be an extravagant lover of You, my Bridegroom.
Help me to be a fierce warrior for You, my King. Amen."

A Cry for Holiness

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:54:18 -0500

There is much wickedness in the land. The church was the one place where people desired to follow the Lord and His Ways, where you could find men and women who held the standards of doing what was right no matter the cost. Following Jesus meant that we were to be holy as He is holy. The word righteousness means to do what is right in the sight of the Lord. We know what is right. The Word Holy means to be a carrier of His Nature, which has no sin. By Grace and hunger, the saint possesses this, never out of our own works. When we do what is wrong our conscience warns us that this is not right. We have hardened our hearts so many times that we no longer hear the warnings not to lust, steal, commit adultery, speak against our neighbor, forgive others, so that we might be forgiven.

We as a people have lost our way. The church is to be the salt of the earth. If the church has lost it’s heart to preserve the truths, and the holiness of God, the world has no standards to observe.

The church has just as many divorces, and those that are in immoral acts as the world. We need to cry for mercy. We need to repent and turn from our wicked ways so that the world might have a chance. Without the church having a standard, the world does not have a chance. We are to be the children of Light, the people of hope. Our lights should shine so bright that those in need of hope can watch our holy living and not feel condemned, but find hope. To see us is to recognize there is an anchor, there is a shelter from the storms of their lives, but if we live like the world there is no hope for a future. We must turn back to Jesus with all our hearts and be holy as He is Holy. We must DO what is right in the SIGHT of the Lord.

There is a need to CRY FOR HOLINESS!!!

The End Day Run

All the Body, Thru the Wilderness with lessons intact, onto PromiseGround with relational Power and Authority, heart to Heart, (our heart matching His Heart) spirit to Spirit, (our spirit knowing intimately and obeying fully the leading and commands of LORD HOLY SPIRIT, SIR) and w/ the final Promise of face to Face, us beholding Him as He is with no shame and no retreat)-might be one way of describing the EndDayRun!!!

God is so amazing. While preparing for Sunday’s Service I felt to ask the Lord what will You be be going in the morning service. Suddenly I saw a book in the air. The book was filled with light, the book WAS light. It glowed as I watched it. Then words came off the book as light and was coming on my face. I thought, this is wonderful. I went on preparing for the service. Suddenly out of me came a song. I began to sing to the Lord and began to weep. I felt God’s Presence so tangible, so intense. I just felt a hunger for God that filled my whole being.
When we were at church and I came up and started to lead worship, the same thing happened to the people. I had my eyes closed, I opened my eyes and looked. The people were kneeling and many were crying. A young man that came in late, later told me that as soon as he came in, he felt God’s presence, and immediately he began to cry. He had not cried in years. He said, the tears came so fast. He felt the Lord lovingly touch him. He felt like there was a strong Presence of God as I worshipped. Many said the same thing.
The Lord just shows up when we ask Him. “ Lord what are you doing?” He will always let you know if you ask.
