Your Kingdom come, Your will be DONE.

"Watch what God does and then do it. Keep company with Him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. HIS LOVE WAS NOT CAUTIOUS BUT EXTRAVAGANT. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give EVERYTHING of Himself to us. LOVE LIKE THAT." Ephesians 5:2

The Lord is raising up the people OF THE STATES. The Lord is calling people that are willing to give up everything to pray for THE STATES. He is moving. He is doing something and today it was clearly impressed upon all of our hearts. Today the Lord is giving us reasons that He is merciful, that He is gracious, and that He LOVES us. He loves us.

Because we are bums. We are unworthy bums. We are people who consume and people who live to gain. Not a Heavenly gain, but duh...worldly. We are faulty, we are sinful and hateful. We are judgmental and we reject people. Yet the Lord claims us AS HIS OWN. He claims our unworthy, filthy selves and calls us HIS CHILDREN. How personal. He calls us His beloved. Yet we live as if we DESERVE everything. bahahaha we deserve NOTHING. Take some time to read Hebrews 13.

Wait, but seriously you should pause and read Hebrews 13.

A service well pleasing to the Lord.

Good stuff? I just made a spelling error and it said God stuff first try. Which are both applicable. :)

The end is near. Read it again- THE END IS NEAR.

Tonight I had an incredible conversation with my roommate about the end times. Something that I am not most keen on thinking about now, not because I don't think that they are important, but because I don't want to be consumed with what is to come- so that I can live in the now. So that I don't miss the process, the hard stuff (hmm.. haha), and how the Lord is so incredibly The Provider. But wow, conviction...chills...and more passion than ever arose when she began to explain the visions the Lord has given her. She is gifted in visions. They are both powerful and effective, and I have never been more terrified.

Terrified at the idea that I thought I was anything. That I thought that I had anything to do with where I am, how He has gifted me, and how He has allowed me to live in a place where I am safe and protected.

The idea that there is persecution to come. That there is persecution now.

That He loves me enough that He is pulling me out of this world and into what His Heavenly realm is. That He wants an army... and we are chosen. Warriors.

So this morning after worship, as we were praying specifically for the states and what the Lord is doing, is unpleased with, or anything that is to be seen, heard, felt...

This is just a small list.

Join us in praying for this. Join us in praying for your neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, strangers, haters, all of them.

This is us.

marriage. that our love for our spouse would be a reflection of how God loves the church and how He loves us. Eternal.

unity in the church.

more men would rise up and lead. boldness.

families.

church awakening. that we would have an open door, accepting anyone and everyone- and not just because it is trendy.

that God's freedom would and is going to be a domino effect. come like an eagle.

wait on the Lord. not all about here and now. not all things needed at internet speed.

God's best over Cali (said natural disasters, or any disasters are to come).

media.

disease.

humility and selflessness.

untouchables and homeless would be reached. that we were never reject our homes or food or resources to another.

Pray with us and we trust that the Lord's best is to come over our nation, even if that may not be what we see as best.

Let us run the race to the end. To endure until it hurts not a little, but a lot.
