Expressions of Freedom

The expressions of freedom:

Scripture reading, prayers, singing, dancing, and the war cries of the people. God shook some things in the region last night.

We have bombarded the heavens with our word-ship and prayers …and now those very things are being manifested as we continue to gather on Thursday night. Watch and pray as He moves in our personal lives and the lives of others.

God is doing great things as a result of our worship: humbleness and total dependency on Him to move in us and through us by the leading of His Spirit. Although we are in our infancy stages, God has already revealed to us a glimpse of His heart and He is drawing us closer to Himself. Last night was surely a night of freedom and expression. God is looking for a peculiar people, willing to risk it all for His kingdom.

Our worship is now reaching a higher level, a place where no flesh will glory in His presence.

He’s restoring His church…and we are moving on to the next level.

Shaking the Captives Free

We are being prepared for the journey ahead. A mandate has been given that before we can embark on this journey we must recover our captive soldiers. Some of those captive have made peace with the enemy and no longer recognize who the enemy is. A call is going out to the prodigal and a revelation sound is being released so that scales are dropping from their eyes...they will begin to see clearly that their inheritance is not in the slop! I see a restored desire...a running back home. Wake up, wake up! Take your rightful place you princes and you princesses.

Awake My princesses
Arise My prince
A fresh breath is blowing
New direction is sensed

Breaking off stupor
Scales are removed
Revelation is given
Bondages loosed

Take your positions
Moving as one
God's Royal Priesthood
Restored in the Son...

Our Lord stirred us to enter into the enemies camp...a great shaking occurred as we warred with our Lord to take down the gates of oppression, the gates of depression, the gates of addiction, the Gates of Captivity!

The Lord would say...Don't retreat, don't retreat! Trust and know that because we have set Him always before us... He is at our right hand and We Shall Not Be Moved! Glory to our God for the Victory! Thank You Lord for the awareness of Your awesome presence!

Majesty

How great is our God...sing with me how great is our God...and all will see how great, how great is our God!

Oh the Majesty of our God! Can we proclaim it? Can we release that revelation? His greatness supersedes that and declares it without our help; we can but acknowledge His greatness and allow our hearts to be consumed by Him.

Do not remember the former things;
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth,
Shall you not know it?

Isaiah 43:18-19

No longer an anticipated move but a realized one! Yes Lord, we see You moving, and our desire is to move with You. Closer, closer, closer, Lord with you; Synchronize our hearts so that they beat in time with Yours; Rushing water flowing runs a river touched by You. Hands that pour out new wine as the best is saved for last; moving in His gentleness letting go of what is past.

What an awesome time in the presence of the Lord! Oh taste and see....

The River of Life

While being still in His presence I saw a glimpse of a water fall. It sounded like a loud roar, then I saw water gushing down a brook. As the water drew closer it formed into a river. As the flowing water passed the trees beside it, they began to rise, popping out of the ground, springing forth with the most beautiful green leaves. Such a peace flowing from the waters. The sound of heaven filled the place as we were still in His presence, just soaking in Him.

I was lead to read Psalms 42:7, “Deep calls to deep in the roar of your water falls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”

I knew I had to do some research. I read several scriptures, but this one spoke to my spirit...and now I want to share it with all of you.

Revelation 22:1-6

"The River of Life"

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must soon take place.

This is the year of the Favor of the Lord…

As I reflect on our gathering last night I realize what a pivotal moment in time it was.

The desire of our Lord to fill us with His greatness coupled with our longing for Him to do that released a pliable heart…exactly the conditions in which He is able to work in.

Declarations went forth over our regional body to repent. Declarations went forth as we laid everything at His feet. A real desire to allow Him to renew our minds followed as we declared Jesus is Lord; as we gave way to His rightful place on the throne.

We continued to worship as His spirit filled the room till there was nothing but silence in His presence. Be still was the order as we waited…knowing that to be still in His presence released an awareness of how Great He really is…

May our prayer continue to be…Lord break us where we need to be broken; help us to see as You see. May our lives continue to mirror the One we follow so closely. Keep us tender before You. May we take the two greatest commandments and digest what that really means to love You with all our hearts and to love others as ourselves. Unite our hearts so that we move as one…May Your kingdom be evident in our lives may it generate an enormous impact on a lost and dying world. For Your glory…for Your praise…In Jesus name. Amen
