This is a journal entry from one of the intimate nights at camp where the Lord really revealed himself to me and spoke to me in a powerful way. I am going to put it in here just as I wrote it down that night. So if it seems sporadic and disjointed that is the reason. I hope this gives a picture of what the Lord did in my life and in some way encourages you.
September 5th, 2007 “Lord! What am I supposed to do? You are alive! You are stinking alive! More alive then I could have ever dreamed! More alive then I could have ever imagine! I would often talk about John 10:10 and life to the fullest, like I had any idea what I was talking about. Oh how little I know! I thought I had experienced Christ in fullness of life. Or at least in part. I had really limited God in ways I didn’t know. Now when I say he is life to the fullest – I know I am just beginning to experience that life. He is more joy and life then I could ever imagine. The depth of joy and life of Jesus knows no bounds!.
Not only that but Jesus is alive and active. He is alive and working today. He is so capable. His power can be known and seen! At certain times I can look back and know the Holy Spirit spoke through me, spoke to me or used me to speak wisdom I didn’t have. Used me in a prayer or to comfort someone else. Gave me wisdom to understand scripture. BUT never in my wildest dreams did I know Jesus was alive and active today like this. Oh how I’ve limited him! Limited him in his power and glory. No longer just studying scriptures be seeing them come to life! Through the Lord: I can heal. I can speak with the power of God! I can have visions. I can pray for people I don’t know with specific words they need to hear. The Lord is alive now! Sin can be conquered! Sin can be broken free from. Hearts can be healed and restored. Demons cast out. Satan defeated. Darkness conquered by light. People healed. The power of God is real and alive.
When it says we have been given power and everything we need for a life of Godliness. We can surely do greater things: Set the captives free, heal the brokenhearted. The Lord speaks to me. He talks to me personally. Its like God is coming into a whole new light.”
