can you feel it in your veins? moving through your body?

After reading an article in RELEVANT magazine regarding the New Aged Atheists, my prayers and petitions to God began to rise with an urgent force. I remember asking God, "What about the atheists? How will You work their hearts? What should I pray?..".....

We cannot be silenced, but we must not engage in a battle full of heated debates and banters that leave us looking less like Christians and leaving behind the most important key ingredient...THE LOVE OF GOD...

As I was praying, and later meditating upon the word, I became full of peace as the Lord showed me multiple things. I saw men and women of God that will carry the wisdom of the Lord with such a fire that when they open their mouths to speak, all those in attendance (Christians and non-christians) will fall to the floor and KNOW that GOD IS REAL.

I saw radical and miraculous signs and wonders..blind eyes opened, limbs growing back, healings, deliverances...such supernatural greatness that causes the hairs on your arm to stick up and even the hardest atheist would not be able to deny God's existence or power.

I saw scrolls full of words that will silence, hush, shut up any argument made against God.

I saw this huge candle with a large flame. Whoever carried the candle would walk into dark places , hidden spaces, and the flame would melt the hardness and expose the dark. Once those things in the dark adjusted to the light, they wanted to follow the light, be near the warmth. The light of Christ was leading them out of darkness.

I saw arrows of authority being shot into Christians' backs and once they were hit, their whole entire body vibrated with this newfound power to move, change, liberate, justify, and make ready a way.

I wanted to see more..I knew there was more to see, but this was enough to move me to pray

to share this with others

to hopefully burn this motivation and desire in others to

pray, interceed, get into God like never before

Something HUGE is coming..and He will use those with hungry and ready hearts.

God told me that all the things I saw were not just for my inquiries regarding the atheists...those who are agnostic and looking for truth.

But rather He said, "Jennie, this is for all those who need me, this is for the world."

The closer we go with God, the more He's going to entrust to us. I want to be reliable. I want to be trustworthy.

We must go harder, deeper with a deligence that won't let up nor back down.

Some of you may feel the currents of God move through you right now. He's speaking. But how can you help? What can you do?

It's simple. It's everywhere

It's avaliable

...fall deeper in love with God, repent of your wrongdoings, fast, PRAY PRAY PRAY, drown yourself in the Word, set the Lord as a seal upon your heart, worship, attend church, bible studies, minster to someone everday, reach out to the hurt and broken, buy someone lunch, bless someone, pray for someone, sit with an elderly person and just be with them, love your enemies, exercise your gifts, have faith to move a mountain, be faithful, give, ...

it's endless

but we must do something



It moves.



It rumbles



It's coming



what??

I don't know..

all I know is I wanna be there to find out

Dont' you?

Boxed In

During intercessory prayer (1.1.08) God gave me a vision of boxes and then this immediately followed:

Strip us from our boxes Lord

Our safe house...our retreat centeres that

we build, created for ourselves to hide when the going

gets tough, or we start to feel uncomfortable

We have an UNCONTAINABLE God flowing through our viens

GOD CANNOT BE CONTAINED
When we stay in our boxes, and stay closeminded and fleshly driven,

we are trying to CONTAIN God.

We are trying to package Him and keep Him in the doses and amounts we can handle.

Strip our boxes and expose us in vulnerability and desperation that we have

no where to run but

YOU.....

I then was sketching in my visual journal and the above is what came from it. The larger box represents some churchs/institutions, the smaller boxes represent individual people. I also saw words on the boxes in my vision which represented the reasons why we build our boxes...fear, insecurity, doubt, religion...

And the various others you may now insert here: ___________________________________________________

I was reading in Romans and for some reason this jumped out from the page in a way I've never noticed nor gave mind to before.

Ignoring God and His truth leads to a downward spiral. (I included the Message translation but I also liked the NIV-go be productive and dig).

Romans 1:18-32 (The Message)

The Message (MSG)
Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

.. ..

18-23But God's angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.
24-25So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!

26-27Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

28-32Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!



WOW

It's not the heathen and unsaved, it's those who know God and know the truth but suppress it.

I looked up SHROUD and found this:

shroud /?ra?d/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[shroud] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun .. minmax_bound="true"> 1. a cloth or sheet in which a corpse is wrapped for burial.
..>

Covering up the truth, wrapping the truth up to prepare it for burial...death..going into the ground. Look at what the Word says happens when we deny the truth, run from the truth, cover it up, try to bury it, create our own truths and Gods and ideologies.

A refusual in God caused mass confusion without direction as to how to be human and falling into a pit of sin (the downward spiral and do we not see these things taking place in our country, our cities today???). God's word is applicable even in the present.

The King James study notes stated that when mankind followed THE LIE, they began to walk into conformity to the lie. (Woah) Conforming to lies to the point of becoming the lie, living the lie, accepting the lie.

Do you not see how important it is for us to stay grounded on the TRUTH???? The truth will set us free, and denying it will do just the opposite as you can see in the above set of scripture.

Let us not be a people to deny the truth, water it down, or try to cover it up. It is what it is and we should not add to it, or take away from it. Refuse not your God! Live in RIGHTEOUSNESS..

and if you KNOW..then ACT like you know

If you have any other insights or revelation please share. I really wasn't expecting to be hit up with what God showed me but I embrace it.

Christmas is...

Christmas is so different to me this year. My heart has been shifted towards people, others, family, friends, loved ones, strangers in a way I have not felt nor experienced before. Not saying that I’ve always been this selfish person, but this year I could care less about ME and what I get or don’t get.

This year Christmas is:

*anticipation of seeing my students’ faces light up with excitement as we take delight in all our Christmas festivies this week at school. Extending a gesture of love in hopes that somehow it will mean something and make a different. I want Christmas to be special for them.

*the longing for those without Jesus in their lives, to receive the BEST gift ever given…A SAVIOR.

*reaching out to those that are in NEED. the art of giving..and it’s not necessarily all about money all the time. It’s so much more but yet a lot simpiler than we allow it to be. Giving of time, attention, frienship/companionship, love, a listening ear, ….

*Spending time with family and thanking God for them being in my life. Life is too short to take our loved ones for granted. My grandmother has bone cancer and is in the hospital and they say she might get to come home for Christmas.

*all the decorations and how they bring me back to my childhood memories

Let us not get caught up in the hustle bustle, gotta get the presents, money, materialistic side of the holidays. There is so much more than the exterior.

Frozen words

X posted in my tumblr (hah yeah don't ask I just stumbled upon it)


My journal has remain untouched except for when I need to jot down a scripture or related revelation, or when I attend The Well and God begins moving. This lapse of written word has been the norm for the past months. I miss having words spew over and I miss knowing what to do with them. Now it just seems, they remain in this frozen state and I can only stare waiting for something to come along and melt them back into existence.

Until they ignite a flame,

I will take it by force

So thus it starts with this.

with hopes something productive and meaningful will come out of it.

collect these thoughts and give them life.

On the flip side, there are particular things in my life in which the words are there just waiting for their chance to break forth, but the intensity requires a “holding period” and again I ..must…wait. Silence finds it’s way to my lips and forces me to swallow the words that describe the way I feel inside.

confused yet? Don’t be..it’s just a day in the life of little ole me:)

Jesus is coming forth in His people

Everything is so accurate and parallel in the spirit and what God is doing upon the Earth. This is from Rick Joyner received via The Elijah List. If you have not subscribed I encourage you to do so.

Rick Joyner writes:


"Even so, the greatest sign of the end of the age is not the tribulation or what the devil is doing, but what God is doing. The greatest sign of the end of the age is going to be the Church becoming all that she is called to be, prepared as a worthy Bride for the King of kings. That is why the Lord, when asked about the signs of the end of the age, responded with the signs that were almost all great troubles. However, He also said in Luke 17:20-21, "The Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the Kingdom of God is in your midst."

With all of the focus on the outward signs, many are missing the most important one of all--what is taking place right in our midst. There is something so remarkable going on in the Church, and few, even in the Church, seem to be seeing it. There is a mighty army such as the world has never seen before, or will see again, starting to come together. What we should be looking for more than anything else is for the Lord to come forth in His people.

The way we know that someone is called as a teacher is not by their knowledge, degrees, or how articulate they are, but by seeing "The Teacher" in them. Likewise, the way we know that someone is a true pastor is not by their certificates or even their compassion for people, but when we see our Shepherd in them. The way I know that someone is called to leadership in the Church is when I see my King coming forth in them. We only have true spiritual authority by abiding in the King.

The Lord really is starting to come forth in His people. We are seeing true teachers, shepherds, pastors, prophets, and I believe soon, true last-day apostles, some of whom are among us now. We will see even the feeble in the Body of Christ rise up as mighty warriors like David. We are going to see the great men and women of God who were raised up throughout Church history like seeds, with a thousand like Martin Luther, a thousand like John Calvin, a thousand like John Knox, a thousand like John Wesley, a thousand like Zinzendorf, and a thousand like Billy Graham, and so on. These were all seeds and we are going to see the harvest at the end of the age. However, the greatest of all is to see Jesus coming forth in His people.

When the Lord created man, He commanded us to "be fruitful and multiply" (see Genesis 1:22). Jesus, the Son of man, will have obeyed this more than any other. We are coming to the time when all of the seeds that He has sown into man will come to full maturity. It is true that the seeds the evil one has sown in mankind will also be coming to full maturity, which is what happens at the harvest--the wheat and tares are mature. Even so, we are going to see the power and glory of the wheat greatly overwhelming the tares. Truth is going to prevail over every lie, and life is going to prevail over death. This will be a witness for all of eternity that the One will prevail over any challenge.

cracker vs. bread.
