The Journey

The journey is far more significant than we think. It is apprehensible to desire the destination, but that only makes the journey lofty and wearisome...and what fun is that?

The Lord is faithful [trust to one's word, promises, or vows; steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant]. When the Lord says He will do something, He is faithful to do it. The scriptures say that we are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), meaning we are sealed with the Lord inside of us that we may perform signs and wonders and that we may be a light into the darkness.

Aside from mere talk, this has become apart of my life unerringly. This past week, my team and I were dropped off on the other side of the island (Hilo) with no personal money, no cell phones, no music...just the company of each other, a place to stay, and a list of ridiculous tasks to complete each day. It was called a Faith Journey. We were to rely on each other, but most importantly the Lord for these tasks to come to completion. These tasks were unheard of and had to have the help of the Holy Spirit. Stuff like healings, both physical and emotional, getting on a radio station, street preaching, etc.

We saw the Lord break out in radical ways. Personally, there was more understanding of the Lord's faithfulness and an igniting of boldness in my life, and yet, I feel like I will never fully grasp how faithful He truly is!

But I guess that is part of the journey.

Hearts

I have most likely over done my use of explaining what is happening to me this September. But here we are again! As most of you may know, on September 22nd, I am heading out with a team of 10 to the East Coast of America. We will be hitting up, in no particular order, Tennessee, New Jersey, Washington D.C., New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. We'll be traveling throughout there for 2 months. From there, we will be heading up to Israel for a month.

I feel like I truly have not been able to just explain my heart and passion for this outreach. God has truly been speaking to me about revival in America, a nation I never really considered to do missions work in. Our team's sole purpose is to bring the love of Jesus and the power of His gospel and glory to the churches in the East Coast; to bring revival in the body of Christ, raising up believers to be followers of Jesus and to dedicate their lives for no other purpose but to see His glory made known. Churches have been slowly killed with the typical, dulled down version of the "encouraging" Gospel of Jesus. Our team has a desire to see these churches and believers walk into the fullness of what Jesus has for them, and we believe this will happen. America will be considered whole heartedly "One Nation Under God" once again soon.

I am also more than ecstatic about the reality of going to Israel, where Jesus had once walked and taught. I fully believe that Jesus wants to redeem His chosen ones; He wants "religion" to be broken off of His people in Israel so that they would know that it is all about relationship. I have the honor to go and to truly minister and also pray against the spiritual strongholds that are upon that nation. This is all for the glory of God to come and redeem His people once again!

With this said, I cannot go without your help. Not only financially, but most importantly through prayer. "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ" -1 Corinthians 12:12-14

We are all one body. Through your pray and partitioning, you can help me in fulfilling this vision of the Lord's in America and Israel. By this friday, I need $3,100 for this trip to be possible for me. But more importantly than that, I need your prayers! Please, partner with me in seeing the Lord's heart spread to His people through His body. If you feel led to give at all, you can contact me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com. My number is also 7204707906. Also, if you have PayPal, you can donate by clicking on the "Donate" button below!

Thank you all for your prayers and support. I seriously could not do this without you and this trip will not be possibly without you! Thanks again!

Wedding Dress

I stood there, silently, yet rupturing with excitement as I stared at my brother and his fiance becoming husband and wife. Her eyes seemed to have been watered down with love as she stared back into the fullness of the love in his eyes. The lighting was just right; it struck the water and glistened back upon the silk of the wedding dress and the dressy vest. As the vows were read aloud and the commitments were made, I was struck with such revelation of the bride of Christ as I witnessed two becoming one.

Jesus is forever faithful. The engagement is the journey of learning more of Christ Himself; to fall more in love with Him; to be struck with the revelation of how much He loves us. The wedding is His return. Not a presentation, but a glorious uniting. Jesus is forever faithful...and He is coming for His bride out of His immeasurable love.

Weddings are beautiful, Colorado is beautiful, and my family is beautiful. This past week, I had the awesome opportunity of coming home for this short week to be the Best Man in my brother David's wedding. It has been an awesome time understanding the freedom and love of the Lord over my life. Jesus is forever faithful. I am blessed, and I feel like I will never truly understand how blessed I am. Jesus is coming, and I am blessed to know that I am His and He is mine.

High Noise, Low Output

"Healthy things grow, growing things change, changing things challenge us, challenge forces us to trust God, trust leads to obedience, obedience makes us healthy, healthy things grow, growing things change..." -Ray Hughes

Everyone has their own song. Not just a "favorite song"; but there is a sound that God has placed individually in each of us to carry out His heart. That is so easy to know, but so hard to fully grasp. I learned about sympathetic frequencies this week in class. Apparently, sympathetic frequencies are when you yell (or sing) into a guitar, and the strings respond to the sound of your frequency. You don't even have to strum, it just responds to the tone of your voice. If we are instruments of God, we will respond to the authority of His voice. And since God made the whole world, when He speaks, the whole work will shake.

Lord, let me hear the sound inside of me!

It is hard to grasp the idea that the purpose of the Lord for our lives is so much more than what we can understand, and it is so much more real than we can fully know. I don't mean that the Lord just has an staggering destiny for us...which He does. But I am saying that even in the beginning of creation, we were made with a sound. Our bodies are made of light when God spoke it forth, therefore the voice of God is inside of us. Everything we know makes up the sound the Lord has places in us, and we are to release the sound for the release of His heart in our individual lives.

The Lord is releasing in this desperate generation the sound of His heart, the fullness of what He wants accomplished here on earth before the return of the King. Discover your sound - there is one!

This friday, August 6th, I need around $5,500 for my school fees. Lecture phase is $3,000, and the outreach deposit is $2,500. I totally believe the Lord to supply everything I need. He is my provider. But please continue to pray with me and if you feel led to help support me, you can contact me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com. My number is 720-470-7906. If you have PayPal, just click the "Help Donate" button at top. That particular tab also explains more about my outreach. Thank you guys for everything!
