Raining and Waiting

1. I love the rain
2. I don't like waiting around
3. especially when it's regarding someone you love

Dad's been having some problems feeling up to par since the doctors started messing with his medicine. For about 3 weeks he's had a hard time at work and has been physically and mentally a mess. Today at work both his hands and arms went numb and his chest started hurting. mom had to take him to the ER. They are currently awaiting the results from all the 189438439 tests they did on him. i have been in constant prayer.

UPDATE!: Dad is okay! (Everything is normal..heart and other organs.) He had an anxiety attack from his new medicine so they told him to stop taking that junk. Praise God for His faithfulness. Thank you to anyone who was praying:)

God speaks in the depth of a basement

cross posted on my myspace.

April 27th a few of us met with some young adults from 1830 down in the Millenium Center basement downtown simply to pray. To seek God's face and pray and press.

I flipped through my journal and found the papers from this evening and forgot that I had forgot to post them in a blog and make them public. But God quickly reminded me after this weekend at the PreCall.

God does speak in the lowest and darkest places just as He did that night in the basement. In fact He was whispering words in my ear and this is what I started writing frantically...





Hunger............Thirst

Zeal.....Passion

Fervant Pursuit

Raise up an Army

BOLDNESS

The Lion of Judah

Roars

Go

Seek

Move

Righteous riders

Red Warriors rise up

Emerge

Go forth

Move

Open your mouth

speak

ROAR

The streets come alive

there is a CAUSE

Do you not know?

Open your eyes

Onward March

The troops...the troops

Here comes the army

Rise up Rise up Rise up

Paint the streets

Prepare ye the way

He beckons

He calls

He summons

He urges

Come beloved Come

Flood gates

Open heavens

Signs

Wonders

Miracles

.....now



The night before we met to pray another group had met down in the basement from Wake Forrest and had this huge keg party. As we were praying I could feel the various spirits from the previous evening and feel some of the people's hurts that had been in attendance. Near the bar area where they served alcohol at this party the night before there was gold paper and pens lying on the counter.

God took me over to the bar area and dropped the following onto the paper:

No more intoxication off cheap wine and liquor bottles with empty promises and lifeless destruction

No more temptations of a bittersweet elixer that clouds judgement and blurs vision.

No more drinking of what the world has to offer

No...you will drink (haha) but not of fleshly desires

You will drink OF THE SPIRIT and become so drunk with the power and movement of THE SPIRIT

No longer will they rush to the bars to drink.

NO..

they will come to the Father to drink of the Lord..taste the living water

Drink.

Get Drunk off the HOLY SPIRIT

The new wine is flowing..prepare your wineskins.

Oh How He loves us

This past weekend at the PreCall down in Mrytle Beach we worshipped hard and pressed in with fervency and passionate zeal for the Lord. We sang Oh How He loves us and some other Jesus culture worship songs and since then I cannot get them out of my head.

I wanted to include the lyrics here because I feel like some people may just need to feel God's love today. I pray it changes your life and lifts you up higher into love.

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.


And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us so


Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.


We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And the heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

Chorus 2:
He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
