Love Revival!

I heard the lyrics as Daniel played worship, the sound was "We want to know you Lord!" What an amazing cry & heart of true worship... I could picture thousands of people today who have a heart to truly want to know God like no other generation before us. Then in the midst of the song - the Lord began to speak to me. "Yes, to truly know me... but we still have yet to even REALLY get to know each-other." I was surprise at what I heard, and then I realized the heart of God. I realized that the purpose and pursuit to get to know God is not fulfilled in us knowing him better, yet not better knowing each-other, they go hand in hand. 

What an amazing time, and refreshing worship last night as we gathered for the second time this year. The purpose of these gatherings are clear, that God has a heart for the city, and a heart for prayer, and he also has a heart to see us step into something greater than ourselves - overcoming the limitations we put ourselves into and the distractions that allow ourselves to be sidetracked by making excuses why we cant seem to answer the call. 

God has called us right where we are, and in the midst of our imperfections, our process and even in the midst of a place where we might see ourselves the least bit qualified. It seems that its these places where God most wants to use us! 

Love Revival
Among many of the profound things that the Lord said through worship and the prophetic word during the evening, one in particular stands out to me. God said that True Love attracts challenges.That no true love goes unchallenged and untested. But what makes love strong is  the trials that proves and tempers it. We are called to be carriers of this Love Revival! Where God has chosen us to lead in love, live in love, and endure in love and everything that is included with love, like forgiveness, forbearance, patience, perseverance and faith.

God is looking at us to lead the way, to stand on the higher ground than the fighting world around us. He is looking at us to endure through uncomfortable places and to stretch ourselves - letting go of our own pride - and seeing how he is using us more in example than in our own deed. My pastor used to say, "One sacrifical lamb per household." and that means that one representative of Christ per house, sanctifying and bringing Gods grace into that home. That our authority in the spirit sanctifies that home and opens the door for Gods grace and mercy in the most desperate and impossible looking situations. We are called to hold on to our hearts in such places, and to be humble enough for God to use us. 

Overall what a great outcome for the night! I look forward to what God does for the next meeting and I hope to see you there or at any future meetings. God is doing so much so far - we are praying to keep the wave going!

A Dangerous Prayer!

I despondently watched a drop of water roll all the way down the window as I laid prostrate across my fully reclined seat in my car over a lake early in the morning. I had been at the lake in my car all night trying to stay warm as the tears streamlined down my face like the same streaming rain that was soaking my windshield. An unfavorable fire kindled and burned so deep within me, a pain that was almost hard to endure sunk deeper and deeper into the pit my soul, "it was an egregious rejection" My eyes glazed over as if to be amiss  to all reality... I had lost everything! I lost all that I built up over the years, all that I aspired to be! My life as I knew it was destroyed, with what seemed to be no hope of restoration... Failure rung in my ears and disappointment seemed to become permanently branded on my forehead. I died that day like so many other days before it... and began getting to a point where I questioned how much more I had to suffer and how much more di...

The Soul Collector

Sounds like a horror movie where a serial killer is out to take souls, or the grim reaper is out to get you. It almost reminds me of the movie final destination where death made its way back around to you to finish the job that was interrupted... and death has come to take your soul! Although this blog is not about a serial killer or the grim reaper, on the contrary today its about Gods process in our lives. That means that God is the soul collector. And he has a process in effect in our lives that is imperative to our development. HES COMING FOR YOU! The bible says to walk out your souls salvation with fear and trembling, that doesnt mean that the grim reaper is after you but it does mean that we need to fear God and the seriousness of his call. The fact that we are saved and our spirits have become brand new (1 cor. 5:17) is only the beginning of our process, there is still a soul that needs renewing, sanctifying and saving. The Bible says that our spirit is the candle of ...

God's Answer to Injustice | Prophetic Prayer Release

(Dictated From East Cleveland Injustice Rally Sunday June 6th) I have been pretty silent in the midst of current events for the past several weeks... it seems as though God has been cultivating something in my heart, I was honored by Pastor Anthony and the The Empowerment Church for the opportunity to release what God has put in my mouth in this prayer.  Darkness seeks to creep in through every avenue that it can , when it cannot get to us through covid-19, it seeks to reach us through the rips in tears of our society... and when we are not on our post - God has no other choice but to allow it to come through. When asking God what the current events were really about, he said to me very clearly that this was about the church getting into position. When covid-19 came it brought us together on zoom and Facebook and online prayers across the world... But still a greater press is needed, now the death of George Floyd brings us out of our homes in front of the church and on ...
