Transition

Transition seems to be occuring with a lot of people I know. Transitioning into a new job, or having kids, moving, finishing school, walking into a new season. Transition can be stressful, challenging, nerve racking and is for most people but it doesn't have to be. It is in these moments that God wants to shine through and meet you. He wants to show Himself strong for His beloved and be glorified. In my own transition I could easily get wrapped up in the details and allow my circumstances to rule my day rather than allow my faith to soar to a new level and see God rule my day. I look at both my choices and know one will bring life, increased faith, and blessing and the other fear, doubt, & worry. It's a simple choice but difficult to make in the transition. I know one thing and that is my God is big and loves to come through for me. He will meet me at my point of need and I will learn to trust Him all the more.

This is why I love this period in my life because the end result will be a complete and utter abandoment to the love and the Lord of my life. He is good.

Fearless lover continued...

This is a time in our generation where a group of individuals need to rise up and be completely fearless for God and His Kingdom. This world desperately needs a generation who are so enraptured with God and His Kingdom that they will stop at nothing to bring liberty to individuals and societies. It takes a fearless love to stand up for God and His righteousness when darkness surrounds us on every corner. This book is designed to inspire you to become a fearless lover of God and in so doing, achieving all that you were born to do and be. 

What is the beginning point of the journey in becoming a fearless lover? It starts in the place of worship and prayer - being in the presence of the living God. It’s in the presence of God where we find the strength and courage to live and take risks for God. From the beginning of time we were meant to dwell with God and walk with Him on a daily basis.  It is a part of our original design to abide in the presence of our Lord and Creator. As we walk with God, we become more like Him and in turn express His heart and Kingdom to a world that needs it. Victory and breakthrough occur in your life and a society as a people embrace the call to seek His face in worship and stand up for His truth and righteousness. For this generation to see God breakthrough and bring freedom to individuals and communities we must pursue the heart of God and have worship as the foundation of our lives.

My song

Fearless Lover

though the storms may come
and things seem hopeless
fear creeps in doubt takes hold

when life is hard
and darkness surrounds me
war is raging for my heart

I fix my eyes in your beauty
I find my strength in Your presence
I remind myself of Your goodness
I'll seek Your face and will not fear

make me a fearless lover
make me a fearless lover
make me a fearless lover
of You

presence

God's presence....there is nothing like being in the presence of God. How I long for more of Him more of His presence in my life. Take me to a deeper place and allow Your fire to burn deep within my heart. Ministering to God must come first before ministering to other people. May our hearts burn with one passion - to see the beauty of the Lord.

Fearless!

I am constantly thinking of what it means to be a fearless lover - this is the phrase of my life right now. I've written a song about this idea in the last week - I'm still in the process of fine tuning it. Over the weekend I had an idea to write a book about this whole message of fearless love. It feels God inspired and I'm excited about starting this project. I've always wanted to write books and I better start somewhere...and what better place than writing about the theme of my life. It's time I devote myself to writing down ideas that have the potential to influence a generation. Spirit fall, inspiration come, and wisdom arise!

War

This life we live is a war - a battle against darkness, sin, bondage, suffering, injustice, pain, sickness, disease, violence, murder, racism, death. Good vs evil; light vs darkness, Kingdom of heaven vs Kingdom of hell. I see it every day. It's a battle to love, to overcome, to find joy, to stand against injustice, to find life against disease and death, to find victory over sin. We are at war and the devil and his demons are the enemy. What does it take to win this war? Courage? endurance? hope? love? It takes the loving arms of our Father, our King, our Lord, our Savior helping us , encouraging us, strengthening us, refreshing us, etc. When we embrace Him God embraces us and the full resources of heaven are at our disposal. It's simple really. Live to be with Him and worship Him - His presence brings the freedom, the victory, the light, the life, the joy, the justice, the strength, the power. May we always lean into His presence and allow Him to overshadow us. The Kingdom of Heaven cannot lose - we just have to let heaven fill our lives. Heaven is Jesus it's the moment we meet. be with Him and heaven is released in our lives.

For of such is the kingdom of heaven

"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
As I was playing and wrestling with my son this morning this scripture verse from Matthew 19 came to my mind. "For of such is the kingdom of heaven...." Why would Jesus proclaim such a powerful statement? What do children possess that we as adults have lost? So many thoughts flood my mind as I think about this. Children pursue what they love with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. They're not afraid to express their emotions when things don't go the way they want. They're innocent and pure in heart. They believe in things that we as adults have deemed impossible. They dream and pursue their dream until someone more "experienced" tells them it can't happen. We adults need to sit with the children and learn from them. God wants us to pursue Him like a child would, wants us to express our frustrations, hopes, and dreams with Him, wants us to dream big and never let the impossible defeat us. If we would believe in God like a child we could move mountains, see our dreams come true, and find fulfillment in what truly matters.
