My Soul to Keep

The other day, I was so struck with the significance of the fact that we get to pray and converse with our Creator and Savior; our King and Father. We have all heard that the Lord desires a relationship with His children, but how amazing is it that He allows us to be able to be in an intimate and real relationship with Him where we can converse about anything and enjoy His presence? The one who created the world created us to be able to have a deep and real friendship with us.

The same goes for intercession. The Lord desires to break the strongholds of the enemy. He is a just God and a righteous God. The Lord could so simply end abortion if He wanted to; He doesn't limit himself. But He desires for His children to partner with Him in the process. If the Lord ended all the world's injustices now with the wave of His hand, it would lose the significance of the partnering relationship we get to have with Jesus. He wants us to gain His heart so that when we do, we will be blown away by the power and love of God when He listens to our prayers and ends the injustices in the world. This effect is so much more everlasting than if He were to just wave His hand and end it all at once. We as His children need to begin to gain the heart of the Lord so that we would look more like Jesus in His compassionate character.

As most of you know, I am heading out to Ireland in one month. I will be out there for 2 months scouting the ground for us to be be able to go out next year and plant our community long term. The Lord is obviously speaking of how we will begin to physically scout the ground and prepare, but He has also told us that this time is going to be a time that we scout in the spiritual. One of our biggest focuses is to intercede and cry out for the heart of the Lord for Ireland so that when He releases His glory, it will be so much more powerful because of us standing in the gap. We will claim the ground in worship and intercession so that when we go out long term, we will just simply be able to run with authority.

We still have 3 weeks left of the Circuit Rider school until we head out. I am still in need of around $4,500 for this Ireland trip to become a reality. If you could, please pray. Prayer is the most powerful thing we believers can do for each other I believe. If you do feel led to partner with me even financially, that would be a tremendous blessing.

Stamp Eternity

I personally believe that one of the main hindrances against this generation walking out into the fullest of what the Lord has for them is unbelief. We say we believe the Lord when times are good an promising. But what about when in times of uncertainty? I feel the breakthrough this generation needs comes through believing God is who He says He is and we are who He says we are, even in the midst of hard circumstances.

What would it look like if every one of us had faith and actually believed the Lord is one who fulfills His promises? God's character has never changed; we have just put Him in a box and have defined His character for Him, rather than believing what His word says. The Lord says He is a healer, well, let's believe He is a healer then! God said we would do greater things than Jesus did, well, let us stop pitying ourselves and actually believe that God is a God of truth. In every area of our life, unbelief will creep in and try to get us discouraged, defeated, and hopeless. Let us recognize ourselves as sons and daughters of the living God and having fresh faith and expectation every morning of the things the Lord can do!

This past week was our first week of The School of the Circuit Riders. We found freedom, hope, fire, and joy. The school is absolutely incredible. The 250 students are so hungry and ready for everything the Lord has. And as we all have cried out in hunger, the Lord has increased His presence in ways I can't even describe!

If you guys could, continue to pray that everything with my outreach to Ireland falls into place. We leave in a little over a month and not a whole lot is set up. So we are just trusting the Lord. If you guys would partner with me in prayer, that would be so powerful and amazing. If you do feel led to help support me, that would be incredible. I am still in need of some financial support.

Sinking in Dreams

What would it look like for a generation to believe in the power of the simple gospel? For them to go out into the nations with unoffendable hearts and not one hint of a critical spirit inside of them? What would it look like for a generation to begin to believe in the call of the Lord over their lives? The Lord is faithful, and He is who He says He is. He is our healer because He said He is our healer. He is our provider because He says He is our provider. He is our deliverer because He says He is our deliverer.

I am so convinced that this will be the generation that truly believes that God is who He says He is and He will never go back on His word; He will fulfill His promises. There is so much power in the gospel. We don't need to hinder ourselves by trying to evaluate and criticize our giftings and qualifications. Truth is, none of us are even qualified to go out into the nations. But by God's glorious grace, He qualifies us, even in our weaknesses. He doesn't want us to glorify or exalt our weaknesses, but He wants us to recognize them because then we will finally realize that He is made strong in all of them!

This past week, I was in staff training for the new school I am staffing called The Circuit Riders. We have been nailing the simple truth and power of the gospel into our spirits, and it seems that our only response has been simple obedience. The new breed of simple obedient, completely abandoned believers is being formed. They are called the Circuit Riders, and it is going to be exciting!

If you want to find out more about the school or even apply for it, click the "Circuit Riders" link above. I am still in need of financial support. If you could, please pray with me that the Lord has His way in the school. And if you do feel led to help support me, that would be a tremendous blessing. Just click that same link above to find out how!
