A New Direction for This Blogger

For the past month, there has been an acceleration of some kind of preparation. For the first time in my relationship with Jesus, I never felt such desperation and hunger for the Lord. 

Yesterday, I heard Joy Dawson speak about the urgency for revival as the utmost prayer priority! 

Led by the Spirit, she elaborated on our need for revival. She spoke with such divine fire that I was blasted back to the age of revival and reformation in America. 

At 88 years old, she spoke with the energy of a 20 year old.

God continues to amaze me in so many ways.

Not only through Joy's child-like soul and spirit, but through the redefinition of revival.

Genuine Revival IS when God does an awesome thing that we did not expect! Isaiah 64:3

SOMETHING AWESOME THAT WAS UNEXPECTED!! 

When I think of all moments God did something great and unexpected, my heart immediately desires to worship the Lord for His Great Goodness and Faithfulness.

More increasingly (and importantly), the Lord is convicting His children of the revival that is to come in Southern California that will rock the socks off this nation called America. 

And through Joy, He has clearly convicted and compelled me to pray with fiery fervency for a revival that includes HIS FULL PRESENCE with wind, fire, and rain!! 

Boy, I can't wait until I see this happen before my very eyes. 

I am greatly hoping the LORD that it will happen before Joy goes to sleep!

This coincides with work of the Spirit, who draws me deeper into the Word. 

Tonight, I have once again surrendered my heart to Jesus, casting out all unnecessary thoughts, and made an oath to seek Him wholeheartedly through the Word. 

I have neglected His call too long and He has made it so very clear in the distress that consumeth meh. 

There's a desire in my heart, a fire that seeks to Glorify God in His Great and Glorious Good.

So I hope to stay consistent in conjoining my commitment to the Word to this blogguh!

I started the Discipleship Journal Plan yesterday and God spoke!

Truly, His Word is alive, living, transformative, and powerful! Heb 4:12

July 16, 2014 - Luke 10:38-42, Ps 141, 1 Thess 4:11-18, 2 Chr 8-9

From Luke 10:38-42, the Spirit revealed my heart to me. I was so worried about my spiritual hunger and about my family that I could not pay attention to the Lord. I was Martha when I needed to be Mary who was eagerly hungry for the Lord, His Word, and Presence. Immediately after reading the Word, God pulls me from the pit I was suffering in.

Here's a prayer I wrote in my journal:

Holy Spirit, Thank You for leading me to fixate my eyes on You ... Please allow me to take refuge in You, don't hand me over. LORD, forgive me ... I await the day when I will sin no longer. LORD, forgive me for not doing as much as I can at work. Please help me to see Your glory. Please bring Rommel into an awesome fellowship with You. Jesus, HELP! I don't want to be worried about things unimportant. LORD, help me to listen to You! To sit at Your feet, in Your Presence :(

From 1 Thess 4:11-18, the LORD gave me encouragement about my work, how He will shine His light through me when I follow through with making it my ambition to lead a quiet lift, minding my own business, working with my hands. I have three coworkers who are all male. I'm not one to be proactive with work unless if I am in a good mood ... it's a horrible mindset that I'm desperate to change. I also wanted my coworkers to come into fellowship with Jesus, an intimate one that will provide them with much joy. But the Spirit reminded me to depend on the Lord's Will and not mine. I am hoping to trust more in Him regarding my work.

Journal Prayer: Spirit, Please help me understand what a quiet life means, living peaceably with others. What is a quiet life? Spirit, Please help me believe! Help me to live an orderly life. A quiet life - calm life. A life with no crazy ups and downs. To quiet, calm, and still my soul. A quiet adventure. Spirit, Please do Your way with me to live a quiet life. 

LORD, Spirit, Please show me if/when I'm not minding my own business.

LORD, Truly You are breathing Your teaching into me. To mind my own business. Also, to work with my hands! LORD, help me to do this so that I won't bring shame to Your name! 

He Who Loves Me as He Is!

After reading my old entry posts, the Lord proves of His transforming power to me.

Erica who wrote the previous posts has died and has risen up as a new creation in Christ!

His Promises, written everywhere in His Love Letter aka the Bible, always come True.

His Words are Alive, Living, and Powerful.

And they hold the power to transform any individual.

Indeed, I yearned for transformation and still do.

March 26, five days after my last post, signifies a day of breakthrough in my relationship with Jesus! 

I chose Jesus. 

Despite all radical implications of how my life would change, I chose Jesus!! Out of the many and unique paths I have walked, the path to Jesus was the only one shining with Light so Bright that it healed all my scars and wounds.

Ever since I have chosen Jesus, my life has never been the same. 

This relationship with Jesus Christ is unlike any other. 

His Love is so perfect - He never gives up, He's always patient, He's compassionate, He's unconditionally loving, He's merciful and always ready to forgive. He's understanding, He's adoring, He's Awesome!

He completely satisfies my thirst and hunger for more. 

Not only does He satisfy, but He provides plenty for leftovers.

He never asks for take backs.

Never breaks a promise.

He's always faithful.

Always on time.

Always perfect.

Always right.

God the Father, the Son, and Spirit.

God-head 

Three in One, One in Three. 

He's all I need.
