I read in a book recently:
“His message is not the sound of an echo; it is a voice of
once crying in the wilderness,
‘prepare the way for the Lords Kingdom, which is at hand.’ This book is
full of powerful statements I wish I had written. “

I thought the last statement was “funny.”
Ownership over an idea or specifically over what’s written
or said? Interesting but a real dynamic in my own life.

Many times, I personally have heard someone say or write
something that was “my revelation!!”
I say “my revelation,” because they can feel like they’re mine! My spirit witnesses and says, “that’s
mine, I own that.”

It’s all God’s revelation in the end. Doesn’t He want us to own it? I feel a
sense of joy when I see the little peace of revelation land on someone and they
come alive. When I see they OWN
it- and make it theirs… How cool!!!

Some of my closest friends and myself get so fired up when
all we do is talk about Jesus and the recent Revelations He’s given us. When we talk about Him He literally
shows up in those conversations and some of the coolest things have stemmed
from those discussions!! I love it!
It’s so pure and free from comparison or pride; Just pure revelation. Goes to show it’s not just about us or “my
revelation,” but God loves to be put on display and for His revelations to be
shared. My opinion of course! Do be honest it’s some of my most
favorite times that I share with friends of mine!! SO MUCH LIFE!
SO MUCH HOPE!! AHHHhh

This is a quote from Chris Valloton, that I can say is
MINE! I love it!! He articulated the words that I’ve been
struggling to put together. Hope
it stirs you up this day;
MINE! I love it!! He articulated the words that I’ve been

it stirs you up this day;
“I will not be reduced to my
political affiliation, my denomination, my generation, my geographic location,
my sexual orientation, or my ordination.
I refuse to let someone else think for me, and I will not settle for
becoming a cheep imitation of another instead of an original of myself. I won’t be reduced to a history lesson
and I won’t allow someone’s fear to constrain my own exploits. I will not bow down to anyone’s idol or
be conformed to old religious ideologies that render us predictable and
irrelevant to the kingdom.”
