Takk...

At last, after quite sometime, I have gained enough time and now have access to a computer to be able to write an update. As you guys may know, my laptop was stolen a couple weeks ago. So, that explains the lack of updates.

Anyways, I am currently in England. My team and I got here last night from Reykjavik, Iceland. We spent 2 whole months in Iceland, pouring into the city, the lost teens, and the body of Christ. As other updates have said, it truly has been one of the most amazing time of my life. Each of us found it really hard to leave the city...it really did take a piece of our hearts. The Lord is so in love with that nation. He longs to be the Father over the lost and the broken. Revival is on the verge of breaking out in that nation. Continue to lift it up in prayer as the Lord releases His strong love over His children.

We are in England now, stationed in Wokingham, staying with my good friends, Greg and Lizzy Palios. We felt from the Lord that we were to come out here, focusing on prayer and intercession as we cry out for the Lord to break out His spirit all over Europe. I had a dream back in Kona that our prayers would rise up like the ash of the volcano and cover all of Europe. I found out recently that London was the city most affected by the ash from the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano in Iceland last year. So we thought that we would come to England, worship and intercede for Iceland and for Europe, believing for the Lord to shift this continent to recognize the light of the Lord.

I am currently still in need of some finances for my plane ticket out here and to be able to make it for the rest of my time out here in England. Thank you guys so much for your prayers and support. If you do feel led to help support me, that would be a tremendous blessing. You can email me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com or click the "iceland" tab above to find out how to donate! Thanks so much!

Magnets Caught On A Metal Heart

I feel like everyday, I am learning how to renew my mind and to constantly fix my gaze upon Jesus. His presence is so lovely. We can always enjoy it; He wants us to enjoy it. I am blown away still by the fact that the Lord is so much bigger than all of our problems, yet He is our perfect Father and He cares for even the smallest things.

Every time I feel stressed, every time I feel worried, or any time I begin to fear about anything, Jesus is waiting to take my burdens away from me. He is that good.

This past week, we have seen five people here in Reykjavik give their lives to the Lord. It has been such an amazing sight to see. A man by the name of Alfred one day came up to one of my students out of the blue and said that He desired to know this Jesus that we all speak of. It was that easy; the harvest is so ready out here in Iceland. All we have to do is love people with the love of Jesus and watch as that very love will transform them. As I was watching Alfred give his life to the Lord, everything else on my mind seemed to just disappear as I watched a life truly be transformed right before my eyes. It was amazing.

I get so caught up in my own worries and petty little fears, but the thing is, I have the joy of my salvation to hold on to! Jesus is my perfect Father and He takes care of everything, I just get to love and be loved by Him while watching people fall under the love of Jesus! There is nothing quite like seeing someone become a new creation! Jesus loves His children, He loves me, He loves you, and He even loves those who don't love Him in return. Lord, let my relationship with You cause the world to fall in love with You!

We just started our 24-7 prayer week, meaning a whole week of non-stop prayer! It is so exciting! Thanks for your prayers and support! More updates to come. Continue to pray that the power of the gospel breaks out in this nation!

Begun

I want my soul to be set ablaze. I want the fire in my heart to grow even brighter. Lord, let me burn for You.

I have been struck this week with how much Jesus truly does deserve to receive the reward of His suffering. I think the truth of the gospel has been hindered in this generation. I think we have been dulling the power of the gospel and soaking it in the gospel of compromise rather than repentance. How come we reminisce of the past awakenings, but we fail to see them today? I truly believe it is because we have been caught of up in the Love Movement (which is great to a point), where we communicate the Lord's love, but almost to the point of compromise rather than the power of it all. We are missing the part where the conviction of sin truly penetrates someone's heart, and they recognize their brokenness without the Lord. Then, they begin to realize the Lord's immense love for them, receiving His forgiveness - the very gift that He gave in His sacrifice.

What do we have to lose? This generation, I believe, is going to walk in great authority and we are going to see the Lord move in ways we never even thought possible. But we need to go back to the simplicity of the gospel and begin to honor it in it's power; we need to remember that the Lord so honors faith. As we step out in faith and begin to understand that the Holy Spirit is the divine Spirit that imparts the divine wisdom, we shouldn't fear and we should understand it is up to the Lord because it is all about Him in the first place, not us.

It makes it so simple though. We need to understand the power of the gospel, and as we do that, we will see the Lord move more so than if we were to try and rely on our own power.

This past week, we had our school leader, Amy Sollars, come out to join our team. It was a time of refreshing and receiving fresh perspective. Our work is not done here in Iceland. I feel that it has just begun.
