Viridus Folium


"Jesus moves where the power of the cross is manifested."
 -Lou Engle

Jesus crushed death, defeated all the sins in the world, made intercession, and revealed His love through the sacrifice He made on the cross. We can never forget the power of that very act of love. When we manifest that very power in the earth today, the Lord reveals Himself in ways we never thought possible. When we intercede and rend the heavens for the Lord to break through as a just God over injustices, He shows up; when we learn to love our neighbors and our enemies, He shows up; when we come against the attacks of the enemy, He shows up with great power.

As we go out into the nations, we need to have a deeper revelation of the cross and the power it carries, for revelation demands participation. When we understand the cross, we move out in participation with the will of God. We then will begin to believe that God is who He says He is and that His sacrifice was real.

The Circuit Rider school is now officially over, and it has been such a transformational 5 weeks. Over 250 students sent out to fulfill the great commission with deep revelation of the first commandment. I am now on my slow journey to Ireland. I leave this tuesday. In the meantime, my team and I are just doing family and life together, building deep love for each other before we go out to Ireland.

I am currently still in need of around $3,500 by this tuesday for this all to be possible. Please, if you will, partner with me and the call of missions on my life in Ireland. I need your help, both prayerfully and financially. I believe prayer is one of the most powerful things we can do for each other. If you want to find out more about what we are up to and the vision behind it, click the "Ireland" tab above. And if you feel led to help support me financially, that would be a tremendous blessing. Click on that same "Ireland" tab to find out more of how you can donate. It is super easy!

Thanks so much for all your prayers!

Much Love,

The Dumbfounded Princess Always Seeks the King


"I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work the you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed." -John 17:4 (Jesus to His Father)

What would it look like to fully yearn and seek the fullness of the glory of the Lord in this generation? If we were truly captivated and fascinated by the glory of the Lord, we would never find ourselves fully satisfied, yet we would just be longing for the fullness and seeking it constantly. It would be a never ending cycle of being fascinated with our King while constantly pursuing Him in the journey of life. 

Jesus obviously was glorified in His years of ministry on earth. He was glorious and magnificent in human nature. Yet, Jesus still yearned and sought out the fullness of the gory of His Father that He had before the foundations of the world. Jesus notably carried the delight and glory of His Father, yet He still longed for the fullness. Why should we stop at any given moment and label ourselves "satisfied"? In all honesty, as believers, we need to imitate Jesus. And if Jesus wasn't even fully satisfied with the glory of His Father and He was constantly wanting more, then we should never be satisfied and should be always wanting more; that is, if we believe in the power of Jesus!

This is the last week of Circuit Riders. I can't even believe that this time has already come and gone. With that said, I am about to embark on the dreams of my heart in taking a team out to Ireland. The awesome thing is, the Lord has to provide around $4,000 for this to even be possible by the end of this week. It was God's vision before it was ever mine, so I know He will be faithful. If you could, please pray for me and my team! If you do feel led to help support me, that would be such a tremendous blessing. You can click the "Circuit Riders" link above to find out how!

Thanks again!

An Irish Journey


Four years ago, I had a dream that I was standing near the ocean with a group of friends. I looked up in the sky. The clouds started to draw in. But a crystal clear bowl was resting in the middle of the sky. It was filled with water and was very large. I watched as it began to tip over and pour out the water. As soon as it did, it began to downpour rain. Around the same time that I had this dream, I began to consider going to Ireland, knowing the Lord had placed it on my heart. I knew it was Jesus because it was so random that I couldn't have just made it up myself. While I was in Iceland, I had this dream once again so vividly, which has never happened to me before.

Four years ago in a church in Ireland, it was prophesied that there would be burning ones that would rise up from America to go to Ireland and to begin to pour out. They prophesied that it would happen in four years. This year, they said that the burning ones that would come into Ireland would be like a fresh outpouring of rain in the land. We would be carrier (bowls) of the Lord's presence (water) that begins to pour out over the land like rain.

As most of you know, I am leaving in around 2 weeks to make the journey on out to Ireland. This has been on my heart for the past 4-5 years and I have never been so excited or expectant. I have a team of 12 including myself going out preparing for a longterm community. I am going to make a seperate video and blog update explaining more of what we are doing out there, but this journey that the Lord is taking us all on has been one that the Lord has so evidently prepared. We want to be the burning ones that go and set Ireland on fire with the glory of the Lord. We want His presence to wash over like rain on the land.

In order to make this possible, my 2 month trip coming up is going to be around $4,500. I so believe that this is the Lord's vision, not mine, so I know He will provide. If you could, please partner with me in this extraordinary journey the Lord is taking us on by praying for us. We need prayer more than anything because we want the Lord's guidance. If you could, please also pray about possibly supporting financially. If you do feel led, that would be a tremendous blessing. You can click the "Circuit Riders" link above to find out how to donate or just email me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com.

Thanks so much!
