Amo L'amore

There is nothing quite like being gripped by true love. And by true love, I mean love beyond words; love that goes beyond the typical, dulled-down version of the simple "I love you" that most of us here and don't fully understand the weight of. I am talking about love that goes beyond all understanding and comprehension. It is crazy to grasp that there is a love like the one I am explaining.

There is a love that tears away all fears; it shatters all expectancy of who we are and who we think we should be. It shines the light on insecurities, then reveals who we really are. There is a love that can replace all heartache and pain; that can supernaturally erase all hurt. I may sound like a melodramatic record, but I have just found myself so humbled by the fact that I am loved by my Maker beyond what words can express. This live is all about loving Him more and more. I love, He will do the rest. That is where His faithfulness is most noticeable; that is where His peace is found; that is where His joy is evident. Heidi Baker spoke this week, and the Lord's love and joy is so evident in her life, and during her ministry, she exploded more revelation of the Lord's love on my life.

So yes...I don't mind sounding cliche, but it is hard not too when you become overcome. He has proved to me over and over how good He is. On September 22nd, as all of you know now I am sure, I am heading out with my school to the East Coast and Israel for a total of 3 months. Our team needs $50,000 as a whole, and I need $5,000 personally. But it is amazing, because the Lord's love has erased all worry and stress. I know it will come in, just not sure how.

If you guys would, please continue to pray. I so believe that pray changes things. If you feel like the Lord is putting on your heart to help support me financially, I would be SO blessed and you would be an answer to my prayers!

Much Love!

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!

Israel is Real

"His glory is so vast and His Son is so beautiful that perpetual worship is not just accepted, it is absolutely necessary." -Aaron Walsh

It may be weird to hear sometimes, but the Lord's goal is not our happiness, it is His glory. We exist for Him, He doesn't exist for us. Hmm...that sure shifts a lot of perspective. God's glory is what He is all about. He seeks His glory in all the nations and spheres; He seeks His glory in our own personal lives. Why? Because He is that worthy of it and He deserves the reward for His suffering, and that is His glory to be widespread among the world.

Our school's outreach teams were announced as of yesterday. The choices were:

1. West Coast/Midwest America (Christian Universities)

2. East Coast America/Israel

3. China/Thailand

4. Japan

5. Haiti

Long story short, I prayed and felt the Lord say to go to East Coast/Israel. And that is precisely where I am going. I don't think I have ever been so excited to go anywhere in my life. I am ready for this. That America would revive and see the fire of the Lord's glory, then that the fire would burn on through to Israel and capture their hearts for the Lord's again. To go where Jesus walked...man, that is powerful.

Please continue to pray. I know this is where I am supposed to go. I need another $3,000 for lecture phase, then probably around an additional $4-6,000 for outreach to US/Israel. I appreciate your prayers. And if you feel at all led to support me, you can contact me at The.Daniel.York@gmail.com. If you have a paypal account, you can click the "Help Donate" tab at the top. I appreciate it immensely!

Hear O Israel...the Lord is One. (Deut. 6:4)

In the Books

I was thinking the other day of how crazy it would be to be in a history book. In order for that to happen, I would need to do something historical. It seems to only make sense. The people mentioned in history books, whether for good reasons or bad, are undoubtedly mentioned for reasons to put the puzzle of history together and help us, at this present day, to understand our surroundings/our world, even more.

This week was the first week of lecture for my new school, The School of Revival and Reformation, and it was far beyond what I can convey. This past thursday, the 15th of July, a man by the name Lou Engle came to bring a word from the Lord placed on his heart to our YWAM community. Little did the whole campus know (or probably even Lou Engle) that Lou was going to make something historical take place, which would lead to an historical outbreak in the body of Christ.

The prayer and the missions move are now close enough to each other that they are kissing, and the heart of God is ready to be exploded even more so in the nations.

It is not so much a call as it is the heart of our Father. With prayer, missions is a possibility. Without fulfilling the great commission through prayer and missions, which are both tremendously essential as a unit, the heart of the Lord will cease to be made known throughout the nations. Engle spoke and declared this word so the outbreak of the Christian community could happen...and these are not just mere words, this is a move of the heart of our Lord.

Revival is reality. The Lord desires for the prayer and missions warriors to rise, sell their possessions, and follow Him. With this, the Kingdom of God is at hand and more near than we realize. It could be just me, but that sounds pretty historical. If you want to know more about what this could mean, feel free to message me.

As most of you know, my school just started this last week and I am still in need of your prayers. By August 5th, I need another $3,000 to be able to stay for me lecture phase, then possibly another $4,000-6,000 to be able to go on outreach to the nations (which will be known real soon). Please let me know if you feel led to help support me. You can contact me at the.daniel.york@gmail.com, or my number is 720-470-7906. You guys rock!
