Sorrow is Billowing and my Spirit is enRAGED

I don't hate things or people. I can get along with anyone walking the street. I can figure out why someone acts the way they do and find a way to enjoy who they are, even if I do not agree with their views on life and etc. BUT there is something I HATE and his name is SATAN. I can not believe how he desires with a passion to hurt us and lead us to destruction. I see so many people who have so much talent and so many dreams, but leave it at the door because they believe lies about who they are. They believe lies like: you will never make it, your father never cared why would your boyfriend, you are a failure, if you can't get an A then you don't deserve to win, you really are ugly, you really are not the beautiful, you are the person everyone is calling you, you should not even have been born, your a waste, your life is meaningless, you do not make a difference, you are young and have nothing to offer, it's to late for you---your already pregnant, you just had an abortion--you are such a bad person, you need to shoot up to feel loved, having sex with this person will help, you are rotten for thinking that, you struggle with THAT---YOU really are a hypocrite!........the list goes on and on. Satan is real. He has an agenda and wants to get as many people to follow him as possible. He cringes at the name of JESUS CHRIST!!! He was defeated when Christ died on the cross! But for now he is reigning the earth, UNTIL the day of CHRIST'S return. Take courage my friends, know who you are in CHRIST! Claim the truth of who you really are: Beloved, you are delightful, you are beautiful, you are useful, you are full of life, you are a masterpiece, you captivate God's heart, you were died for, you are washed, you are sanctified! that list goes on and on as well! Tonight I was just overwhelmed by the forces of Satan and how He desperately is longing to take over and grab who ever to go with him. I CLAIM the blood and PRAY my brothers will too. I was so sad, my soul was balling----hearing the things my brother is going through, makes me so mad! Satan is feeding them lies, DON'T listen to the LIES-LISTEN TO THE TRUTH. Read and study the scriptures. If you have any questions on how to become a Christian or want to talk you can email me at intercedingforthecity@gmail and/or can call 1-800-NEED-HIM. Live in the truth and know that no matter what you are going through or what has happened, that the Lord loves you and has never left your side! Even in the hard times, Christ was with you Crying and pleading on your behalf. Be love to the world, learn how to love from the ultimate lover-Jesus Christ, and it says that He did not come to the world to bring peace but by the sword. SO love, but also LOVE STRONGLY

My Soul Longs for My King

Woke up this morning and drove to one of my new favorite coffee shops. It is located in far uptown. It is called anodyne's it is on 43rd and Nicollet S. The place is jammed with God's creation. I can just hear the cry of His heart for these people. I can hear a couple conversations even now and my soul shouts out to the Lord to come! They are in search of a Savior! They are longing to find love in others. I look around and see Christ's beauty! I see what the church is MISSING! These are the people I long to see come to Christ! People that probably went out last night and got drunk, as the person smells of alcohol right next to me, or the guy that has been staring at me the whole time making gestures at me to come talk to him. First I claim the blood! The blood is powerful and saying it ALOUD has more power then Seal of the United Nations. I am dumb founded to think that we have THE power of Christ! We have the power to heal, to rebuild, to reclaim. So why are we not doing it??? Why is there no other around that is reaching out to these people. Maybe you are, maybe your in the same coffee shop writing a blog. My purpose of this blog came from the drive over. I passed many cars on my way over and saw the equal bumper stickers on most likely at least half of the cars I saw! This sticker to me should be changed to the following CHRIST IS CRYING OUT MINE! LOVE-I WAS MADE FOR LOVE! May we examine ourselves this week. Are we loving this world? Do we look at this world and yearn to reach out in vulnerability and compassion to those that still need to meet the Savior? What about those that are stuck in their Christianity? They are stuck in legalistic ways-forgetting that it is about experiencing and living for Christ rather than having the knowledge of Christ. I desire to see this city changed. FAN the FLAME LORD! May you start in my life! I am a broken, no good, son of a gun-BUT I HAVE THE BLOOD! So Father come and replenish my soul- I cry, Come.

Where are you today? Are you stuck in a rut? Take heart the Lord is with you! Just stop and rest, it is time to allow the Lord to help you and "fix" your issues(we all have them.)

“In the total expanse of human life there is not a single square inch of which the Christ, who alone is sovereign,does not declare,'That is mine!'" Abraham Kuyper!


Revelation 22:17
"And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say. "Come!" And let him who thirst come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life FREELY..."

What a Great Redeemer and Friend!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQS2DInO7fs

This video makes me excited for what the Lord is going to do! I have been super busty lately, but have always loved the ex-movement. I actually made my own ex-slave shirt. I could make many many more ex shirts. The Lord has done great things and continues! Hope you enjoy this video. If you are struggling today, remember that no matter what you do or have done, Christ loves you the same as the day you were created.

I enjoyed the beautiful weather today. I was able to go out for some coffee with an old friend. It was a blessing. I have been overwhelmed with so much work lately and was sick all this week, so it was such a blessing to be able to go and visit with a friend and to walk around the city. The Lord is a beautiful God, He is the Redeemer. What EX are you...fornicator, slave, masturbator, lier, hypocrite, hustler, stripper, bisexual, homosexual, cutter, racist, diva's.....

But with Christ we ARE Righteous, Victorious, Refreshed fragrance, New land, Called my son, Beloved, Hephzibah, Delighted In...

***Feel fill to add to the list.

I know the Lord has huge plans for this city!
...turn from your wicked ways

Isaiah 62

1For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

3Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

7And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

9But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

11Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

12And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Are you a professional for Christ?

Today I went to uptown for coffee. The roads were bad. My Bible study was canceled. Car accidents left and right. There were a couple roll overs yet, I desired to go and study over coffee. I wanted to shine the light of Christ even if I did not get a chance to speak to anyone. I believe it is all in building relationships. At any rate. I was studying and had a huge burden come up. I decided to return to my dorm and go to the prayer room and prayer and read the Word. I wanted to be in an area that was dark with not many people. I went to my car to find that I had left my lights on. My car battery was dead. Well I laughed and just walked away. I called a friend and they said they would be leaving in a couple minutes. They lived 2o minutes away from where I was. I decided to walk to a second hand store, while walking there I started pouring my heart out to the Lord. I gave Him all my weaknesses and said here. You take this and give me power. You are an unchanging God, I will rest assured that I have a HOPE that will never end. I am bought and sealed. After a while longer I started to jump up and down in joy. Here I had desired to go to a prayer room and journal my thoughts and feelings out, yet the Lord wanted me to just walk around the uptown area and pray and interceded for those I passes. In doing so I was able to be poured into and renewed by the deep love of Jesus. I stopped at the house I want to buy for my ministry and got even more overwhelmed with joy. I know the Lord is calling His bride home, I prayed that even if God doesn't give me the house that it would be always used for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ. I returned to my car filled with renewed strength and hope. Who would of knew a walk around the city would refresh me, especially for it being so cold out. My friend had called and told me that it was not going to work out to come and give my car a jump. I said okay and hung up. I did not want to get upset though I was sad and my mind started going. I stopped and prayed, Father calm my soul and speak to me about this. Hold my words and speak. I felt content and went back to the coffee shop and decided to get something to eat. I got to meet a man that I see often. He is intrigued by calculus. I told him that I did not like math much. We talked for a bit then went back to our work. I am excited to learn more about that mans life. I know there is so much more then just a calculator that he is good at and passionate about. I am eager to find out. It was getting late and I knew my car needed to be started otherwise it would be towed soon. I went outside got my car brushed off again and saw some people. It was an older woman with her son, and a little child was in the back. She went inside an apartment to do something quick. I talked to her son who was at least 20 years old. They reeked of smoke and I think something else as well. But I continued to wait for his mom to come out. I want to ask if she could jump my car. She finally came out, she said she was not going to be able to and then took off. I smiled and said God bless. I am not sure if I will ever see them again. But I was able to pray over that building and vehicle waiting for her to return, I have faith the they will be encountered in a very tangible way. I then put my hood up -hoping a car would stop. Well with cell phones these days people do not think of stopping anymore. I decided to go to the grocery store just right around the corner. This is a grocery store that is fancy. You pay extra for the wide aisles and so forth. I tried finding a willing soul but came out finding none. I saw many wealthy professionals in their nice suit coats. I watch one by one get into their Lincoln's, Cadillac's, Maserati's, and drive off. I thought it was odd that none would help me but I just laughed and listened to another worship song on my ipod. I was started wondering how the Lord was going to provide. It was getting later and later. I walked to the corner of the block and said okay there has to be someone. I looked and saw no one. Then I saw a man. He was getting out of a huge van. I asked, sir can you help me jump my car? He said sure, where? I said just up the corner. He told me he would be there in a few minutes. As I was waiting I saw a lady a few cars down start her car. She the tiniest ice scraper ever, so I helped her scape off her ice. Then I ended up pushing her little (really expensive) car out of the snow and on her way. I yelled, God bless. I smile wondering how the Lord would speak to her later. Finally, the man came with his van. We got my car started. I found out that the man was a plumber. What a wonderful gift this man was to me today. I thought on my way home, am I open to being Christ in all predicaments. Do I worry about my agenda that I miss opportunities to stop and pray for passer bys, am I so busy I don't help people brush their car off or help push them out. I felt so blessed though my feet were a bit frozen from the deep snow. I thought here I had went to the "higher" respected people and non helped. Then a plumber helped!!! I desire to be that plumber in all I do. I want to be open to seeing the world and their needs. I want to be a servant rather then the boss. I desire to see Christ's face spread over this town. Come King Jesus, bring Your kingdom, scatter darkness with your Majesty. Come King Jesus reign in freedom, reign in power and let your Kingdom come in me! May we claim our inheritance and stand for truth! I am thankful that I left my lights on! The Lord brought me slow down to were my heart so desires and longs to be.
