Fresh rev

Your spirit is not yielded to me. I am yielded to your spirit. The only reason you will always be with me is because I never leave you. There is no fire in my footsteps apart from your direction. Patience, and faithful prolonged face time will condition my heart to carry your glory. Your timing is better than my own. Even though my petitions move your heart, I cannot jump start anything of lasting value. I recognize manipulation, preconceived notions, and false expectations and ask you to cleanse me with your holy fire.

Thoughts concerning spiritual develpment

And you shall be clothed with power from above. There has been only one time where I have really felt this manifested in my life. It came out of a time of surrender, travail, and tarrying before the throne. Several Years ago I went to Africa on a mission trip. I realized how weak my labors and endeavors really where.

I decided that I could no longer live for Jesus with out Jesus powerfully manifested in my life. This thrusted me into an intense desire to know him. 3 days 3 nights, no sleep, no food. constant prayer, and silent meditation. By the end of the third day it felt like my spirit was going to explode, Jeremiah said Fire shut up in my bones. I could not remain silent, that day we went hut to hut, Jesus Gave me direct words of knowledge that pierced every single persons heart.

Miraculous Healings. Not just the I have a head ache can you pray for me prayers. I am talking about stage 97 arthritis that has every extremity bent backwards agonizing pain, compassion I never knew flooded my heart. I cannot Begin to describe the sweetness of the communion or the authority of my petitions, something became unlocked.

The glory Lifted, I was so overwhelmed by this power flowing out of me. I took my eyes off of Jesus and began to sink just like Peter. I have not given myself to the Lord in such a radical way since then. Even though there has been a constant beckoning, a still small voice to draw near.

Gone are the days of culturally acceptable Christianity, No longer will I live in fear of man or there perceptions of my spirituality. No longer will I fear being labeled a mystic or zealot. Just as God spoke to Moses, he wants to speak to me. Face to Face, I count everything else as lost except that of KNOWING GOD.

Glory

I want your glory,
Fire in my footsteps,
Let it burn, Let it burn
Like fire, In my bones

Bring your glory to this place,
I will glorify your holy name,
As you pour out on your sons and daughters

This song came to me last night as I was ministering unto the Lord.

An intense and overwhelming desire has begun to consume me, for the glory of god to be poured out once again. Joel Chapter 2; Check it.

I have determined that...

The only safe place is in the raging fires of his heart.
