Unity of the Cross

The cross is a reminder of the price Lord, Jesus made for us. But the cross also represents more than just the sacrifice, its a reminder of our relationship with Father God and with our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The vertical represents glory and relationship with our heavenly Father, the unity with Him, the horizontal represents our relationship with our brothers and sisters. When we come together in unity with God and in unity with our brothers and sisters, we create the ultimate unity, bringing the cross together, making it complete. All of us in unity brings unity in glorifying God, then the kingdom of heaven will open up and fall down on us. The cross shows us how important it is to have each other, how important it is to have unity with each other.

UNDENIABLE...

Thursday I went to a conference with my friend Promise, it was cool I got to meet Chad Dedmon and listen to all the amazing things God has done in his life and in the lives of people around him.

At the conference it was really cool cause the Kingdom of God was so thick and a bunch of people got healed. I saw 2 legs grow out, one was even my friend from church and Promise saw a ladies back and neck get healed, it was so intense. At the end of the night I went to wait to see if Chad would pray for my eyes and right as I was waiting in line this other guy was there asking for Chad to pray for his eyes and Chad was telling him that he should start praying for other people who's eyes are bad and stuff cause he has more of blessing in praying for that area cause he has eye problems, but Chad was praying for him and so I started praying for him too cause I know how much it sucks to have bad eyes, haha. I started crying and stuff and all of a sudden Chad put his hand on my head and asked me what I needed prayer for and I said well my eyes actually like him, Chad said "well look, God already blessed you with someone to pray for." to the guy his name was Caleb. Caleb and Chad were praying for me and I started crying cause I could feel Fathers heart, Chad was saying that God is giving me Spirit eyes and that he is expanding my heart to love more. It was really cool cause earlier that day I asked Father for His Spirit eyes and I've been asking to have a bigger heart to love more, and He gave it to me, thank you Father God. I've learned, that I don't always get what I ask for or what I desire, but instead God gives me something even better, something even more valuable...

You know, church shouldn't be 10 easy steps in becoming a better Christian, or 3 ways to have a better marriage, or anything of that nature. Church should be a place where people come to meet God... It should be a hospital, a place full of Love and the presence of God, a place where we come to purely worship Him, a place where we come to praise Him and give Him it all. Church isn't about becoming a better person, its all about Him, its all about relationship... 10 easy steps isn't going to change us, the presence of God is what changes us...

The Church should be all about him...

Church is the place where as soon as people walk in the door, they are instantly hit with the Glory of God, where someone walks in they are instantly healed, when people walk in the presence of God is UNDENIABLE.

We are to be like that too! The anointing of God, full of Love, engulfed in His presence to wherever we walk God is pouring out through us so thick and tangible that its undeniable, haha.
He could do it himself, but He wants to be apart of us like in a relationship and so give us adventure in life.

"No longer I, but Christ in me..." Galations 2:20

Freedom in Intercession

Today was so AMAZING! Haha

Our family thats thick as blood, the blood of Jesus, our sisters and brothers; Celeste, Donovan, Nathan and worshiped together and prayed; interceding for the Youth.

It was really intense prayer, I could feel all our hearts and spirits in unity asking and talking to Father in unity and interceding with Holy Spirit together (Romans 8) praising, singing, worshipping, dancing, praying, just completely after God, His heart and will. "Tearing down the walls", coming after Him, "refusing to be denied", He "opened up the heavens" and showered down his presence, "shouting out His name", Jesus! We're "ready now!" Haha, Amen.

After prayer we listened to Free by Coffey Anderson and got in a circle and danced, haha.

The perfect end to the perfect day, I'm ready for tomorrow, haha. I'm so happy to have all my brothers and sisters, they are so amazing and so much fun, I love them so much, haha.

Blessings, and enJOY FREEDOM!!!

The Center of the "Wonderball"

Sometimes even in the ministry I believe I forget to love. Getting caught up in all thats going on, you know like with all the programs starting up, coming up with creative ideas or new strategies, getting things ready, getting the work done, even when reading the word or praising and worshiping God, or pray and in fellowship with one another, trying and help each other by listening and giving advice, but even though all thats going on and it seems well enough, sometimes I forget to simply love. Its the biggest thing, but the easiest to forget and its so easily drowned by "life..." even though thats what we're living for. I hope that makes sense...

Well, forget advice and thinking I'm helping or doing something good, forget the creative ideas and the strategy plans, the only strategy that I hope to live by is simply loving. You can have everything, you can be the most righteous person, you could be blessed beyond belief or have every gift, but without love you have nothing...

"If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:3

God's love is the most powerful and effective thing, love is what changes everything.

"God is Love" 1 John 4:16

Thats what we need.... Thats what everyone is looking for, its what this world is longing for...

This desperate world is crying out for help, its crying out for mercy, kindness, the love that only God can give...

Father doesn't want me or us to give the world empty actions, empty hopes, He wants to bless us and love on us and hold us close to His heart. He wants us to show and demonstrate his love, to fill all the holes with His endless love. He wants to feed us, cloth us, help us, heal us, He wants to pour fourth limitless, ceaseless, bottomless love to each and every person, regardless of any circumstance, Father is no respecter of persons, He loves all and "gives to all generously and without reproach" James 1:5. He holds all dear to His heart, Jesus showed us love not caring who they are or what they did, He just sees each and every person as His precious child.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Jesus did that and He calls us to be His friends...

I don't want to be an empty shell... Someone who tells people about the love of God, someone who does the "good works" or whatever, I don't care about that junk, its important but its empty without love, love needs to be in the center of it all, the reason for doing it. I just want to be as a "daughter of the King" (like my sister Raych Devore puts it) I want to be the daughter thats so full of Gods love that its just overflowing and pouring out to everyone, someone who doesn't only talk about the love but someone who acts with love, one who genuinely loves people.

As Heidi Baker says "We lay our lives down for love, and we give our lives away. We cannot just live with our words. Love is in truth and in our actions."

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails..." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Jesus never withholds mercy and always extends kindness.

I hope to be transformed by him more and more and more and more. To be uniting with my Daddy, God in loving on his precious children. I desire to have a heart in-sink with His, to see with His eyes, and to love in all His ways.

Everyone needs to know, believe and receive the Truth that "He loves us."

Not like a Wonderball, you know the song from the commercial "oh I wonder wonder wonder whats in a wonderball, shell of nestle chocolate and candy shapes inside." In this case, we're the vessel full of God's love, only I hope people don't wonder whats inside us, but that they know its Jesus! Haha (as cheesey as it all sounds, its so true)
