He Is All Around Us

He is all around us... His life is in everything we see and touch and hear. This is truly a revelation from Heaven. Everything that is life comes from Him. Life is the positive energy of God, the power of His love, the very essence of who He is. It's His glory... and it surrounds us. All we have to do is step into it. Like stepping into another dimension, we may enter His garden of peace and revelation where we experience all that He is in the inner chambers, the oracle of Heaven... where we come to know Him. He is inviting us to step through the portal that is opened through our worship and enter into Him. The invitation is for those who desire Him. Who have a heart of longing and passion for Him... who have a holy desperation, a new obsession... who have this revelation. We must go to this place and be joined with Him now... to receive a blood transfusion of His life and love and to be healed so we may fly with the eagles of Heaven. So go... go to His chamber, become an altar that He may burn... and become a torch of Heaven.

Let Him Come Into His Garden

When we allow the wilderness of preparation to become a garden of life by surrendering and accepting where we are at and that things might be hard, God will come down and visit us. He will come into His garden, the garden of our heart that He is preparing for His purposes, and He will give us a revelation of Him. What He longs to give us is a revelation of His love that we have not known before. Only when we have a true revelation of His love, the same love that the Father and Son share in Heaven, will we become who He has called us to be. We must see it and know it... we must abide continually in it every day and every second. We must never get outside of it. God is love. This love is the very essence of God. It is what He is made of and it's what we need to truly live and breathe and cause others to live. It's why we are able to do anything that brings life and love instead of death.

The other night, God came into my room and shook me during a time of intense worship. It wasn't all pleasant either. It was rather frightening to say the least. I know that what I was experiencing was the literal fire of His love... the terrifying beauty of all that He is and the massive, incredible power of His emotions towards me. I felt His intense pleasure over me. He wants to reveal Himself in this way. We just have to let Him. We have to let Him come into His garden and till the soil of our heart until we become beautiful like Him... an acceptable Bride for the Lord. We must let Him come into His garden and gaze upon His face until we become a mirror image of Him. Let Him come into His garden.

The Call 7/7/07

The Call 7/7/07 was a triumph. That's the only way I can put it. I was able to go with a friend of mine who is involved at Moravian Falls and The Cause. Sitting near the stage in 90+ degree conditions, packed in among the sweating bodies of the new Bride, this young warrior generation who carry an unquenchable, explosive passion for God, the Lord revealed Himself to me in an almost an awesome and terrible way. I am still processing a lot of this, but I can tell you that He was pleased with the prayer, intercession, and worship that arose before Him that day... a day that I know in my very core will change history forever. I believe that people were being marked by God. He was hand-picking His warriors and revealing to them who they are and who He has called them to be. The Lord was honored by the dedication of those who were willing to fast and pray in preparation for that day and who were willing to shout, dance, sing, worship, kneel, and cry out to Him for 12 hours in the blistering heat. He was pleased. I just thank the Lord for this new Bride that is beginning to awaken and take their rightful place of authority in our land... and I am proud to be counted among them. Lord, continue the awakening!

The Wilderness

The Lord has really been speaking to me about the wilderness. My mother spoke of the "wilderness" time in her life just the other day, a good friend from the Richmond House of Prayer taught on it the other night, I come across prophetic words and teachings on it, I open up to scriptures about it, and I keep hearing the word "wilderness" wherever I go... the Lord was really trying to tell me something and His word was loud and clear. It's time to prepare. He is beginning to awaken and prepare His Bride, and one way the Lord prepares us is through the "wilderness" times of our lives.

In the desert, God created a fully organized, 12-tribe nation out of nothing. The children of Israel had lost their identity in Egypt, and coming out of Egypt, they were in utter chaos and confusion. God then allowed them to wander through the wilderness for 40 years. It wasn't until after this wilderness period that they were reborn and their children inherited the Promised Land.

The wilderness periods of our lives might differ from one person to the next, but usually have a few things in common. The Lord usually strips us of everything we have or thought we had. This may be our ministry, our relationships, our mindsets, and sometimes even our money or belongings. The Lord will allow us to die to our flesh. The Lord usually reveals to us ugly and dark areas of our hearts that He wants to change... areas we didn't know were there. The Lord will also heal us heart, soul, and body and saturate us in His truth and love if we allow Him to during this time. The wilderness times may not be our fault, but they have a purpose. The purpose is to prepare us for the hard times ahead. We must allow the Lord to prepare us. We should not run from the wilderness even though we might feel alone. The wilderness is a safe place. It is a place where we meet Him face to face and allow Him to tell us who we are. In this place, He will breathe life back into our dead bones and give us back our identity. We must know who we are before we will be ready for war. When we learn to love His wilderness, we will see the wilderness for what it truly is... a garden of life.

How Do You Express Love?

It's true that love comes in many flavors. Some speak of the five love languages, which are: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical affection. Of course, we could add to this list. We also show love through sacrifice, honor, and blessing. All the Fruits of the Spirit are also ways in which we show love. It is also true that some people express love in some ways more than others and often excel in one. I was asked the question recently, "How do you express love the most?" To my horror, I actually had to think about it. I wasn't sure. This caused me to begin to meditate on this. I asked the Lord to search my heart and reveal anything that might be hindering love from flowing out of me to others. I want to excel in love. I want this more than anything. I want others to be affected by my life and my love. Lord, teach us how to truly love each other. Cause us to love naturally and freely, without hesitation. Let it become second nature to us, Your Bride.
