This blog came about on a 22 hour bus ride where God revealed just loads of goodness. I have been diligently asking God for more of Him and this is just what my heart needed!
Warning: This is a long blog but the most real and raw one yet, a visit into the prayers He is asking me to pray and the callings He has placed on my life. I want to bring immense joy to the Father’s heart!
This blog may be crazy to some with the snippets I have written below but here is a little background to it all. I was baptized when I was 19 and received Jesus as my savior, not just knowing Him as what my parents wanted. I balled at my baptism…He opened His heart and it was beautiful! He has been wrecking my life for Him ever since. It’s really cool how I feel more like a child now in my life than when I was one because I am relearning so many things about His heart and I was it all undiluted- on His terms. I love how He is infinite in everything! I want it all! His whimsical heart has been captivating me in ways words can’t express and this is my best attempt to express all He is speaking; ( Jesus please fill all my words with You).
So much of my story has been about learning to see things through His eyes, including myself and His power; the tangible power of Jesus. The past two years, I have been praying some crazy prayers and I believe that Jesus is the best captivation of Love the world has seen. It’s crazy that right now in life on the Race, He is answering so many. That Jesus is enough, Jesus is the answer, Jesus is all, Jesus is healing, and the Word of God is alive and active. We are His brides that get to walk with Him through the seas to see GLORY! Literal glory. I want to live a life that is a reflection of THE undiluted gospel of Jesus; to love so much that the only thing people see in me is Jesus and that love to rattle bones to life! Below are some revelations, prayers, encouragements, and words that are from the Father in His loving pursuit on my heart. Believe that Jesus wants more for your life because the cross speaks more than we ever can!
Here goes…this is my undiluted heart and how He is speaking. All the cards out there!
Revelation: Become expressions of Gods love in and through time to the people in and through life. Gods love transcends in circumstances and is continually growing to find new places to speak light. Yes light.
Revelation: When you realize who you are, you can use the powerful love of God to transform lives. Identity is powerful!
Revelation: To be a consuming fire, you have to be consumed with The Fire first.
Call on Life: He is pursuing me to pursue more of His divine nature; to not rest with what is normal but what is exhilarating. To step outside the box and then outside again to make sure that I am really living a life of being alive. He knows I am standing at the curtain and on the other side He beckons me to more ; to see the heavens, hear more of His voice, feel ever alive within because He has taken over everything within me.
Revelation: Love shines brightest in the smallest of acts.
Call on Life: He calls me to be a magnet for Him. To attract people with His heart and not change them by my own strength but invite them in to know The Father, who will do far more than change- He will breathe a sense of wanderlust for His heart.
Prayer: Wanderlust ambassadors of seeking after the Kingdom and His passions. Wanderlust ambassadors of resting in His truth. Wanderlust ambassadors of majesty in every moment. Wanderlust in believing that the little things make a huge impact in the Kingdom.
Invitation/ Encouragememy: He is welcoming me into more…like walking into a place you have never been but feeling safe. He is welcoming me into the complexities of Himself.
Revelation: The Race has many life practices that help to pull out more in people. It’s pulling out more in me but I have to remember to never stray from the truths He has already instilled in my free spirited self. Some things I do naturally and don’t have to feel pressured to fit a mold of the Race; He has given me too much freedom for that. To know that it’s not about all the Race will do for us, but about how God calls us to more and wants so much more for us to see that He has invited us on His Race.
Gift: He wants me to know myself because He delights in me. He wants me to run, play, dance, race and explore. He wants me to know Him in me; and that comes only from just being with Him. To not have walls that have to be up but a place where I can be vulnerable. The more we ask for Him to consume us, the more we get to understand His heart and how it beats within us…calling us to life.
Call on Life: An unshakable woman of the Kingdom: Not caring about what others think about me, my life, or how I am living it. God is behind me and with Him I will not fail.
Revelation: Coloring outside the lines of ministry is more important than sticking to the mold. Take time to just relish; relish in people, art, rest, random things, and the things your heart loves. He loves when we relish in life.
Prayer: Through the unraveling of hearts we are lead to His. He loves to unravel and reravel!
Prayer: Letting go and simply walking through life and living in every moment, unafraid of opinions, thoughts, being right- but simply living exactly as who He made me and discovering those parts as pieces of Him He wants to reveal.
Call on Life: When God gave His only Son to us, He wanted us to have all of His Son in us.
Matthew 25:34-46
Encouragement: Everywhere we go Jesus is; He is a part of the little things and the people that walk the earth. Whenever you help those in need, you are helping me. Encountering Jesus in others.
Encouragement: Don’t lose the beauty of seeing and expressing God’s love in the simplest of things.
Encouragement: The splendor of God’s love rests in the fact that even when you give His love to those He reveals, He always finds ways to fill you more through them then any way you planned to fill them.
Prayer: Fill me with love; action and truth. Not only in missions but in family life and in friendships, teams.
Prayer/encouragement/revelation:Love is all about sacrifice. When you grow in love, you grow in the ability to love the sacrifice. Sacrifice turns to joy. You grow in giving your best. Our calling is to give the best of us.
Prayer: When the love of God is complete in us, we become the love of God. It’s tangible. Lord fill me up so much with your love, that when I touch people they feel your love
Prayer: We have to give all the time; it allows us to continually be refilled and refilled with more and better love every time. The more we give love, the more love we receive because of Gods goodness knitted into His love. remove any self seeking in me Jesus.
Encouragement: In the places we are, we can shine like the stars
Prayer: Putting our faces inside His face
Encouragement: House His promises in your heart
Claim on Life: It’s part of our inheritance to be Jesus! What a beautiful gift of life!
Prayer: Teach me the undiluted gospel and never let it get old but always gain ground in my life and the sharing into other lives. Strip me of anything that dilutes the gospel and light a fire within me for the undiluted power of the cross.
Prayer/Revelation: The cross is about absolute, full restoration of every circumstance, hurt, shame or guilt that the world has ever dealt with. Our God has overcome everything! There are no limits or boundaries to who God is. He wants to blow us out of the water. I am ready to get soaked!!! 🙂
Prayer: Lastly if you are still with me, a huge call He has placed on my heart is literally to drown in His truth. His Word! I am praying for new eyes with reading, soaking and seeking truth. I want a balance of truth and revelation.
