dear friends,
You can change the world. You can bring Kingdom to earth.
Jesus supported Peter and Peter became the rock on which the entire church was built. Barnabas supported Paul and Paul went on to proclaim Christ all over the world and write half the New Testament. Jesus said we would do greater things than He, and I actually believe that.
God has been revealing to me more and more of my destiny, and I believe by supporting me you can change the world and bring Kingdom to earth.
God has been walking me through some intense inner healing. He is after my heart, and all of my heart. He has been stripping me of everything; I am left with nothing to cling to except God and God alone.
I have never walked through a more intense season in my life. Tonight I spent two hours sobbing in my room. It’s been extremely painful at times, and yet there is so much hope for the future.
If you’ve ever read the book “Wild at Heart”, you’ll have an idea of what God is taking me through. I read this excerpt from the book “Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship” (Jack Frost) today and it hit the nail on the head:
“We either live our life as if we have a home, or we live our life as if we don’t have a home. We either live our life feeling safe, secure and at rest in Father’s heart, experiencing His love and giving it away, or we live our life with apprehension and uncertainty, struggling constantly with the fear of trusting, the fear of rejection, and the fear of opening up our heart to love – the three fears common to all people.”
“So many of us have hooked our lifeline (sense of security) into “counterfeit affections,” that sooner or later will entangle us in unrealized hopes and unfulfilled dreams. Instead of drawing our energy and our source of life and peace from the love of God, we try to find them in these counterfeit affections of performance, the passions of the flesh, power and control issues, possessions, position, people, or places. Somehow we think that unless we have these sources of comfort in our lives, we simply can’t go on.”
God has been removing all “counterfeit affections” from my life, and for awhile I felt homeless. I felt completely alone and like I had no where to turn to. Now I am realizing that my home is in the Father’s heart, and I am experiencing adoption as a Son…
“Living life as if we have a home means living to experience God’s love on a continuing and ongoing basis and making that love known to others. As Christians, we are sons and daughters of God, yet so many of us live as if we don’t have a home. We live, think, and act like fatherless orphans because we have never truly embraced Father God’s love on a personal level… Because we do not love ourselves, we feel unlovable and find it difficult if not impossible to believe that anyone else could love us, including God… God is calling us to experience a homecoming. And the heart of the Father… that is our home.”
“Our quest is to enter into the embrace of the unconditional love of Father God and receive a heart of sonship that will displace our orphan heart… When you possess an orphan heart, you never truly feel at home anywhere. You are afraid to trust, afraid of rejection, and afraid to open up your heart to receive love. And unless you are able to receive love, you cannot unconditionally express love… The new birth in Christ makes you a son or daughter of God, but that does not mean that you will enter automatically into the full personal experience of that love relationship with Him as Father.”
More and more, I am realizing why God has called me to the 18” Journey. The 18” Journey is an opportunity for me to receive two months of intense discipleship from some people who really understand the heart of God. Their mission is to connect us to Father God’s heart in a way that will change us forever. God has been preparing my heart for this journey throughout the past couple months.
I desire to live a life of greatness before my King, completely surrendered and willing to follow Christ wherever He would lead me. I know that the 18” Journey is the next step in chasing that dream, and I am desperate to take that step. This next step is going to launch me into my God-given destiny, and I ask you to help make it possible.
