"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.

Thanks so much!

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.

Pin Point

Well, it has been a long time updating. I have to admit, I really do miss the blogging world. Life without a computer isn't too hard, but it is inconvenient, and I have come to realize that the hard way. But I am back for now, updating you guys on this past exciting month that I have been able to be apart of.

As you most of you know, my outreach to Iceland and England ended on June 12th. From there, my team and I went on back to Kona, HI for a week of debrief and a glorious reunion with the rest of the school. It was an enjoyable time and it was amazing to reflect on these past 6 months and truly see and recognize what the Lord has done in our hearts and in the nations. I have never heard so many powerful testimonies of outreaches as I have in this school. It has been absolutely incredible.

These past 6 months have transformed me, and I can honestly say that they have been the best 6 months of my life so far. The way the Lord revealed His faithfulness to me was absolutely incredible, especially in Iceland where it seems like we had no opportunities to having endless opportunities. Psalm 16 talks about how the Lord will never abandon my soul. I believe that now more than ever.

I have said it so many times before, but if we just look at Jesus and fall more in love with Him and His worthiness, I can guarantee you that every fear, worry, or doubt will fall away, because when we recognize how good Jesus is, we can recognize that we truly can trust Him, because He is our only hope. He is so faithful, that even in my weaknesses, He can use me to change someone's heart or even to affect a nation. Iceland will never be the same...but it isn't because of me, it is because of the Lord's faithfulness!

God is so undoubtedly good. I will never question that again.

As some of you know, I am transitioning right away to staff another school out here called The Circuit Riders. I would love to tell you more about it, but this blogpost is long enough! So just click the "Circuit Rider" link above to find out more! Thanks!
