I pray.....
I am suddenly whisked into another world, another dimension.
Where the reality that I live here on earth becomes a dream and what once seemed like a far away faith in God becomes real. It is here that my hidden life is revealed. It is here that I am in true reality. My spirit appears before the throne of God most High, while my body stays back on Earth. As I pray, the spiritual becomes more real than the physical and soon has control over the sin of my flesh. As I force myself to stay in the presence of the Lord, I slowly change..... Nothing else matters anymore save to please Him, to adore Him and to know Him better. I am utterly broken and in awe of His presence washing over my spirit. I cannot fathom His being, it is a mystery and my greatest joy. My body yearns and my soul thirsts for the great sustainer of my existence. I worship and give Him control of my body, it starts to move according to the billions of worshippers beside me all in perfect sync exalting the Glorious King. Here, He is the choreographer and teaches me to dance for Him. Here He is in control of all things. Every creature before His throne, every worshipper before His presence, He knows and directs. Strange songs come forth from my mouth like a fountain that has been blocked with the refuse and is now ready to explode. I sing songs of joy. My mind does not understand the foreign syllables that are sung, but my spirit knows the meaning behind each phrase. They are the songs of the city of Zion! Whose meaning only those born in Zion the city of God, the New Jerusalem can understand.
I start to cry out to my God and interceede for the lost, among me I am joined by millions of other intercessors around the world crying out to The Most High to pour out His mercy and grace on the world. Our prayers go up to Him and He strengthens us with peace, joy and boldness to do His work. We continue to minister by the house of the Lord until we are filled to the brim overflowing with love.
and still even then we cry out once more for the lost and broken, for the fallen and deceived. AGAIN more more more perhaps this time the Lord will answer, perhaps this time He will finally pour out His annointing and Spirit and heal our land
Send hail to sweep away the refuge of lies, And waters to overflow the hiding place.
My body is getting restless. It cannot endure this kind of concentration and discipline for that long. With my spirit filled, I leave and zoom out to see the most breath taking, majestic, awesome, fearsome, beautiful scene.......
Far grander than the displays of the heavenly bodies
Far more brillant than the light from the sun
Far greater thant the vast dephs of the ocean
It is indescribable
It is the very throne room of the Lord strong and mighty.
The Lord mighty in battle.

Look Up!
Today I read all day about the Greeks for school.
SO0o0o0o DISTURBING to the max!
I seriously wanted to spend the time in prayer cuz I could feel my soul dying, except the work has piled up. So I endured and made do with singing worship songs in between readings.
I also tried to do family devotions today
except my father was too tired and my sister just yelled no.
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great.
Psalm 18:32-35

Dust.
O Lord its from the dust that you made me
and its from the dust that you raised me.
You sustain and me together every atom, cell and hair on my head
Every decision that I make from the time that I wake till when I go to bed.
You are the most sovereign, high above all things. Nothing can match your infinite glory. So as I worm on the ground my knees hit the floor I scream for your mercy as if I were a whore, cuz that's what my people all are. By your grace, let me marvel at your glory and be a part of your story.
I know that my life is hanging delicately in the palm your hands
Every tick of the clock it brings me quicker to the day that I will stand
before you sitting on throne of judgment. Every aspect of my life laid bare before you in a second.
I pray that my eyes won't grow blind to your beauty, power, majesty all of who you are stretching from all eternity.
I pray that I will never compromise and listen to the devil's lies. Make me bold in the faith so I won't go astray and play it safe.
People trying to tell me that You're something that You're not. People thinking that they got it, that they're hot when they're not. They tell me that I'm too hot that I need to cool down but the way we're doing things isn't doctrinally sound. So I need to sound the bell to the watchtower so the blood isn't on my hands even of they refuse the demands that are written in the living Word at least they can't say that they never heard.
Oh no! doubts thrown at me from all sides. I'm barely holding on, this is a hell of a ride. Gotta hold firm to the truth of what you have revealed me. Need to be a good steward of the grace you have given me and you have strengthened me with Your all surpassing joy. In my heart I know that I don't need to cool down but need to heat up and not cover light that I was given to shine though it be blinding to the darkness of the people all around its the only way to show the lost how to be found.
O Lord I don't want this task can't you give me something less whack but
If you're at my right hand I won't be shaken though the world around me be quaking.
and its from the dust that you raised me.
You sustain and me together every atom, cell and hair on my head

Rejoice!
In the Lord ALWAYS! I will say it again: Rejoice!
Philipians 4:4
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
Philipains 3:1
When was the last time you rejoiced? Like soo filled with joy that you couldn't help but dance, sing, shout to the Lord?
Paul says its a "safeguard" as in it is IMPORTANT to rejoice to guard against spiritual attacks the devil wants to throw at you!
If your not able to rejoice
Something is WRONG spiritually.Check your life!
Are you seekng the Lord daily and taking up your cross?
or is the world sucking the joy out of you?
You can't be filled with God's blessings if your filled with the world!
because the fruit of the spirit is LOVE THEN JOY THEN PEACE!

A Generation......
3Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
And who may stand in His holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the LORD
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face--even Jacob. Selah
Psalm 24
We need to be the generation of the Lord!
We need clean hands. We need pure hearts.
This is NOT EASY
The other day I was at one of the most intense worship gatherings ever. The Spirit came because the people in that room were seekers of the Lord Almighty.
We had someone exposit Psalm 24 into three points and everyone was AMENING to the following:
1)Coming Together in Unity – Psalms 133 – where the brethren gather together in unity God commands his blessing. Acts 2:1-2 - they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
We need to gather together to WORSHIP and to PRAY. We need to do nothing else but those two things when we meet seeking the face of the Lord together and waiting upon Him. That is what true fellowship is. It isn`t socialing. It isn`t doing fun activities together like cookng. (we have changed its meaning in today's culture so much that it isn't biblical)
2)Consecration – 1 Peter 1:14-16 - As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
We need to set ourselves APART. To be holy means to be separate. This means separating yourself from the junk of the media. Cut it out of your life! If your filling your mind with that stuff, its gonna affect your soul and your heart. The Holy Spirit is gonna be effectively quenched in your life because your already full of unholy junk. Consecrating ourselves also takes sacrifice. We need time to BE with the Lord in the place of worship. So this is going to mean spending less time with friends and being WISE with the time you do have. Don't waste it. Spend as much time with God as possible.
3)Consistency in Prayer – James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
This is key. Jesus spent soo much time praying and it is mentioned in the gospels countless times. When the apostles first started their ministry they prayed.
3 Brothers, choose seven of your men. They must be known as men who are wise and full of the Holy Spirit. We will turn this important work over to them. 4 Then we can give our attention to prayer and to teaching the word."
Acts 6:3-4
In fact they gave other work that was NOT prayer and teaching to other men.
Paul also says:
2 Spend a lot of time in prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.
Colossians 4:2
All the great men and woman of God in the past got on their knees and PRAYED.
Prayer shows your humilty and dependence on God. The more you pray the more you are showing your need for God. The less you pray the more you think you can do it on your own.
If you do these things and PERSEVERE in them God will start to use you
If you don't you can bear no fruit and you'll be wasting your time.
Because Jesus says:
5 "I am the vine. You are the branches. If anyone remains joined to me, and I to him, he will bear a lot of fruit. You can't do anything without me. 6 If anyone does not remain joined to me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned.
John 15:5-6
How are you remaining in Jesus if you aren't praying?
How are you remaining in Jesus if your living a life that isn't holy? If your hung up on girls or guys or school?
How are you remaining in Jesus if you don't gather to worship Him or want to worship Him?
There are many people who are serving God but they're not living holy lives.
There are many pastors serving God but they aren't praying.
There's no power when they speak, they're faith is weak and their teaching is border line heretical. They're scared to preach truth because they fear man and not God.
They fear because they do it on their own strength.
and we wonder why the church is so stagnant?
Don't be like the generation of our parents.
Seek God He will strengthen you and uphold you if you trust and obey Him!
And who may stand in His holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the LORD
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face--even Jacob. Selah
