So it's been a while!
Tons of stuff has been happening since the last time I wrote- I've been pretty heavily involved with IHOP:Eastern Gate...contending for the emergence of a 24/7 house of prayer in a strategic area as the metro region...and the things that have been happening have been nothing short of wondrous. Sometimes, with the breakthroughs, signs of favour, "chance occurrences" that occur pretty frequently, sometimes the thrill of it all makes me think I'm in the middle of some sort of movie. Only, it's reality. I love what I've been called to do, and all the more humbled that the Lord would mark me and my Intercessory missionary comrades to such a task as this- when He could have picked anyone else.
I traveled to Bethel for much of the month of June coming back in July- had an awesome time there and the Lord marked my heart with some key directives and words in regards to my own life...and when I came back from Bethel I stepped out in faith to jump full-time into IHOP:Eastern Gate. Life's been crazy busy- but it's been awesome to be in the middle of this season and see God work His power in the establishment of this base. I couldn't ask for a better work environment with some incredible staff and the light of God's face shining down upon us.
And now, here we are- September. The cool breeze and the leafy smells of summer receding back to make room for the fall signal a fresh new year ahead of us. All the more, I've been growing obsessed with the idea of how to move God. Not just to think about such a romantic concept, but how to really live it out. This comes, further empowered by an awareness like I've never had anytime in my life before, that the Lord SEES me. He knows me. Psalm 139 to the max. And what I do matters to Him, His heart and His eyes. And all I'm wanting to do is capitalize on all of that and give myself to be a man after His own heart.
Everytime Fall comes around, so does football. I struggle with sports. Seriously. If the enemy were to draw up a gameplan to bring me down, he would totally hit me in the area of sports. I'm making a commitment before the Lord to fast this obsession of feeding my flesh and my emotions on the success and progress of a sports team...and to remain singleminded and focused on the pursuit of the knowledge of God.
In the Word, God frequently mentions Daniel and Job- that even if it were for righteous men like them, certain wicked cities could not be saved. Neverminding the latter, I'm inspired that such men like Daniel and Job walked the earth, to the degree that the Lord pointed them out to future generations as people who have captivated His heart. I BURN to be in that category. To live my life as a fragrant worship offering in the secret. A history with the Lord.
