It will cost you "Everything"

Touched by love Himself ...

Many of you have been through many situations in life, but have you ever wondered how in the world did I make it through this? Well .. you were touched by love. See, love Himself looked down from heaven and saw someone who was broken and said " I can use them right where they are" WoW! is that not amazing? It amazes me everytime I think about how dead I was on the inside and how Christ just came and touched my heart and he revived me. It wasn't by anything special that I did to deserve that love but yet he looked down from heaven and smiled over me. When you are touched by love.. your never the same. Often times we look for people to feel that love that only God can fill. When you search for love outside of Christ you will only end up right back where you started--Heart broken and desperate for more.

Love has been awakened throughout the body of Christ but when you are touched by this love what do you do with it? Do you embrace it? or do you give it back? Well you might say how do I give it back? you give it back everytime you have a choice to touch someone else with the same love that was given and you make a decision to walk past them. We are not touched by love for our own selfish gain, we are touched by love so that we can freely give it out to someone who needs it just like we did.

The Lord spoke to me and said "how can you be touched by my love and not touch anyone else?" I began to weep and ask God for forgivness because he was right. He freely gave me something that I did not deserve but yet I held on to it as if it was something that I earned. Many people in the bible who encountered Jesus love went and SHARED it with others.Now we must examine our hearts and take them before God.

Just thought I would share that with you..

Breaking off "Rejection" for the spirit of adoption

Jason Upton inspired me to write this blog after listening to one of his songs called "spirit of adoption". It absolutely touched my heart and I truely believe that the song speaks to my generation. God is breaking off the rejection. not just being rejected by boyfriends or girlfriends or a job but being rejected by family and friends. He is releasing the spirit of adoption into our lives. Leaving the old mindsets behind and the old lifestyles. He is calling us to a heavenly place with him. For every time that you have ever been hurt or disappointed by people God is going to begin to break those walls that we build in our heart.

You know those walls that say:

"I will never open up my heart to get hurt again"

"I will never trust again"

I will never let him/ her hurt me again

all these are walls that we put up in our hearts that does not allow God to love us as much as he would love to. Its time that we break off all those fears and rejection from man and begin to open up to God and allow him to adopt us into His kingdom

and hes sayingto you

"I will never leave you"

"my word is my promise"

"be the child you were created to be"

Break off rejection and recieve the Spirit of adoption in Jesus Name!

Im Sending the Fire..Sending the Flame .."I hear the sound of the abundance of rain"

God is looking for a Generation who will dare to be different. There is a sound that is being released from heaven and those who are thirsty will tap into a realm in the spirit that they have never been. God is sending his fire to rain upon the thirsty hearts of his people.The atmosphere has shifted and the sound has been released. There are things that we have been praying for God to do and in this season if you will dare to be thirsty for Him doors will begin to open that no man can shut. There is an abundance of rain coming to the land. God has opened the heavens and is pouring out his blessings upon his people. These are not just any blessings but they are heavenly blessings. When people look at you they will begin to see the glory and the power of God all over you. There is a spiritual veil that is being released over the body of Christ. This veil is so bright that the enemy is blinded. No darkness can come near this veil. God is raising up an army of people who will stand against the enemy in boldness and not in fear or intimidation. This is the year of the FIRE of the heavens and the abundance of RAIN...I dare you to tap in to what God is doing in the nations. can you hear the sound?

My hands are lifted and my heart is ready....

This picture is a representation of someone deciding that they want to surrender their heart to God. Someone with a cry of desperation saying,"God I don't know everything, but I know that I Love you God". We have to get to the place where we realize that without God we are nothing,without God we can do nothing but fail, but it is by His love and His mercy that when he looks down upon us he sees the blood of his son. The hand here in this picture is partially closed because it is not totally surrendered. They are unaware of the full price that is required to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Their is no more half surrendering situations to God, either we desire to be fully His or we don't. Its time to stop living with our hands half way surrendered to God and give him ourselves Above all else. Above every situation, above every circumstance, for God takes pleasure in a surrendered heart and a surrendered hand. When God looks down from heaven he does not see everything that's wrong with us because he created us so there is no need to look down at what he created and point out everything that's wrong because HE ALREADY KNOWS. Nothing is hidden from his eyes so just lift up your hands and surrender it is so much easier ..... His LOVE is so much better 

What can separate you from the LOVE of God?? ::: KANSAS CITY

Today I would like to share with you my journey from Kansas City. I am with some of the youth from my church @ the International House Of Prayer and all I can say is WOW. This is the second day and it is already blowing my mind. This is a place where its 24 hours of prayer, where healing and deliverance takes place. Yesterday we had a chance to sit in on a worship service after Mike Bickle was done teaching on the book of revelations. It was one particular song played that touched my heart very deeply. It was called [[Jesus, lover of my soul]]. That song that really touched my heart really deeply because it showed just how deep Gods love for us goes. Its deeper than we can ever think or imagine. When we think about the way God loves us UNCONDITIONALLY, its kind of hard to wrap our minds around. As this song was playing the Holy Spirit made me examine my heart and he spoke to me and said"what can separate you from the love of God?" All these things began to flash before me and my spirit was overwhelmed by the presence of God. I began to deal with those things in my heart that was not pleasing to his eyes. God even allowed me to see walls that I had put up with him that I didn't even know was there. His love does not compare to mans love. He will never leave us ....that's just how good of a God he is. In the midst of our sin our selfishness he can still LOVE us. He revealed to me that there were things in my life that separated me from his love [[Heart Strings]], Things that may not necessarily be sins but it separates us from the father. I encourage you to take the time and examine your heart and if there is ANYTHING that you can think of that can separate you from Gods love I challenge you to do something you have never done to get something from a God who is more than what you will ever have ...Part II coming soon stay tuned with me on this journey

"Textually" active

I know your looking at the title of this and your wondering whats going on. Its a simple thing that teens across the nation do to get them off focus and for females...on these emotional roller coasters.
Text messaging is the most popular thing to do now days. Its the easiest form of communication. Its almost like a bag of Lays potato chips you cant just eat one..Its the same way with texting you may not be talking to the person but every word that they say is going into your eye gates. Depending on the conversation it effects your Mind your body and your spirit.

Answer truthfully:::
I want you to stop for a minute and think...How much do I text a day?
How much time do I spend with God or reading my word?

If the hours you spend text messaging out way the hours that you spend with God ..then you might need to consider spending more time with God.

I'm not just saying this just to be saying it... these are the same questions that I had to ask myself
No longer can we be "textually active" but God must be our first Love

a lot of people get so consumed in text messages that their unaware of the things around them. The enemy will use anything that he can to get you mind off focus...thus we have car accidents

Is there anything wrong with texting..NO
but if it gets all of your time or could possibly put someone else in danger then you need to reconsider whats important in your life...

It was only by the hand of God...He soo loves us

1 John 5:4 because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world.

Anything that we can possibly encounter in this life. God already felt the pain so that we would never have to return to those situations. God has a purpose and a plan for your life and there is no task or war that you will ever fight that he has not already defeated over 2000 years ago.

In your darkest hours ...hes there

In those hidden places...hes there

When you feel like giving up..he there

When you can't find your way out..hes there

When you need someone to talk to ...I dare you to call on him..he will be right there

This picture above ministers to me so much.That's exactly what Jesus does. Think about it..There are plenty of situations that many of us have been in that we know we should have been dead. It was only the hand of God that reached down and saved our lives...NEVER forget where God has brought you from It makes it so much easier to walk in the love& compassion of God.

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

I remember speaking about this one Saturday at my church & while listening to a Pastor from Toronto speak at Catch the Fire church, I was like WOW! the same exact emphasis on the word "SO" was brought back to my attention... God didn't just love us ...No he SOOO loved us. That means that he loved us beyond words. He couldn't even find a word to describe his affection for us.He loved us soooo much that he was willing to give his one and only son.I don't know about you ..but that's LOVE ..and he did it all for you and I just so that we could live.

Continue to thank God for all that he has done in your life and never be ashamed.You never know ..you could save someones life.

Its gonna be worth it ...Theres a generation coming who will need this "Father not my will but your will be done"

When Jesus died on the Cross for us he knew that it was going to be worth it. So today I tell you that no matter what you go through in your lifetime.He beared it all for you and he knows how it feels to be mis understood and judged. He knows exactly how you feel. There is nothing that you will encounter in this lifetime that God has not already walked through for you and I. Do not get discouraged,dont give up. Push beyond what you see or hear and let God be God.

Jesus didn't see the full picture but he knew that it would be worth it in the end. He knew that some little girl or little boy is gonna need this..There is no greater love than somone who would lay down there life for another.He believed in you and I ...so dont give up on God. Its gonna be worth it!

"God please save my child!"..thankyou God..now step out of the way I have this under control..Dont need your help anymore..

Are you guilty of this?...many times parents can be guilty of killing their childrens destiny knowing or unknowingly. I can speak for teens all across America. Whenever you feel that your parents are pulling you away from something you love to do after a while there is a resentment that builds up then you become angry at them. The worst thing a parent can do is pull a child away from God. and it is 10 times worse when you are a believer. You give them the impression that everything that you ever taught them about God is a lie. How can we say that we are believers but yet pull our children away from God?Do you not remember the nights that you cried out and travailed for them to be saved? Did God not answer your prayers? Do you not remember the joy that you felt the very first time they gave their life to God? Do you not remember the days that you were pleased that they finally turned to something else besides sex, drugs, gossip, rebellion, vanity, lust etc. ....think about this ..think hard. are you helping push your child closer to God?.. or do you feel the need to control there lives without saying a word. well maybe you say Im not controlling them I just want the best for them
Answer: God knows whats best ...do not tell the potter what to do with the clay.When you cried out to God to step in and help...its time to move on out the way and let him help...

I dont know ...but I would rather be able to say my parents pushed me closer to God than say my parents pulled me away from God but they told me that God was the answer ...

He loves me..he loves me not...

“Rihanna told her, ‘It’s not his fault. When he hurts me, he’s a beast, but then he turns into my angel … He’ll hit me and then feel bad afterwards, but then he turns into the sweetest man and becomes my angel. He’ll cry like a little baby when he makes it up to me, and that’s the part I love.’”

Chris Brown and Rihanna were the WORLDS best role models for a young relationship until recently when it was found out that Chris Brown beat Rihanna almost to the point where she was unable to respond. So many young people looked up to both of them. They saw the fam and money but what they didnt see is the behind the scenes drama that was going on. If Rihanna stays with Chris she is letting every young girl across America feel that its okay to stay in a abusive relationship and Chris is making it seem that its okay to beat on your women.

No it is not okay..and it will never be okay ...this is what our generation and the ones under us have to look forward to in the world .Its up to us to point them to Jesus
So many women across america are being beaten every day ....put in situations where they feel that there is no Hope.

There is only one love that never fails
One love that can feel the heart
One love that has the answers
One love that you can depend on
..His name is Jesus

God will never leave your face looking like this....

What Are we complaining for???

One photograph that has helped awaken the world about the effects of poverty in Africa is the one above showing a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture nearby. It is quite obvious that the child was starving to death, while the vulture was patiently waiting for the toddler to die so he can have a good meal.This child was crawling his way to a United Nations food camp that was only 1km away. Nobody Knows what happened to the child.What are we complaining for? EVERYONES guilty of complaining at times..when we have nothing to complain about. Think about if this was your child. More than likely his parents was either dead or couldnt take care of him. We have so much to be thankful for Lord forgive us ...

Photographer Kevin Carter won a Pulitzer Prize for this shocking picture, but he eventually committed suicide three months after he took the shot.

Was I not enough??

Matthew 16
The Demand for a Sign

(1) The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

(2) He replied,"When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.

This was the scripture that we talked about on Wednesday night with Pastor Joshua.This was a really good study to me because it makes you take a deep search to see where your heart really is. After going back and reading the scriptures I just had to Blog it!

The Pharisees and Sadducees went to church they obeyed the law but they were seeking after signs and wonders. Here Jesus is doing all these signs right in front of them but they couldn't even recognize them. They were seeking after what They wanted from Jesus instead of seeking after his heart and who he is.

How many times have we prayed to God coming to him asking him for things.
"God I need you to get me out of this situation"
often times we are the ones who got ourselves in the situation to begin with

so remember be careful how you approach the throne....it is not what he can do for you but it is what you can do for him to advance his kingdom Matthew 6:33 says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you"

"IS HE NOT ENOUGH"..is him simply dying for your your sins not enough? if it is then its time WE start living like it ..

“Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror”

Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead..

Its time to move forward ..letting go of the past ..all the hurts,insecurities ..It will only take you to a place where you have already been. Its time to look through the windshield. Look towards the things that will take you far in life. Its always important to deal with the past so that you can move on with your life because if you don't ..they will come back to haunt you "Objects are always closer than they appear" ..I don't know about you but I'm determined to leave the past in my dust so that the next time an obstacle hits my windshield..all I have to do is use my windshield wipers(word of God). See when we are so focused on whats behind, we set ourselves up for a head on collision because we are too busy looking back on what God set us free from and yet we are hitting the gas as if we can move but honestly we our stuck in a traffic jam.All the things that go through our minds (traffic). Which can cause other cars to hit eachother. I encourage you to deal with the things that will never get you further than where you already have been. If you dont want to do it for yourself. Do it for someone else NO "U" TURNS lets move foreward.

I Will Search all Through the night...

We are in a time where there is a longing for God like never before. We are in a time where people are searching for more to life. More than just the temporary pleasure. God wants to put his spirit back in the church. he wants those temporary pleasures to be destroyed and every divided affection to be broken. God is raising up a generation who will take a stand against satan.This is a desperation for God... Nothing else matters but you God. Hes raising up a generation that will seek after God with everything thats inside. Will you climb MT. God... before you can get to the high place you have to be in a low place with God. Talking to God and letting him know that hes the lover of your soul ...When you find him ..dont let him go ..no matter how it feels ..hold on because "its gonna be worth it all "
