The Flow

God pressed it on my heart to read "How to flow in the Super Supernatural" by John Osteen, and I am going to put something on here from that book.

He was talking about Ezekiel 47:1-5, 8-9:

1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over....

8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

And here is what John Osteen said about these scriptures:

"As long as you are ankle deep, knee deep or only waist deep you still have your feet on the bottom! You can determine your own destiny. You can get out of the water whenever you choose. You can stay close to the edge. You are running your own life.

You are in the flow of God, but the flow is not in you!

COME ON OUT INTO THE DEEPER WATERS. TAKE YOUR FEET OFF THE BOTTOM.

LET THE RIVER TAKE YOU WHEREVER GOD WANTS YOU TO GO.

This river is coming from the throne of God. It is flowing out to a world that is lost. It will bring salvation, healing and deliverance from demon powers.

It is flowing throughout the world. Let the river take you.

It is safe.

Take your feet off of the bottom. You can trust the move of the Holy Ghost.

You can trust God.

Do not compromise!

God wants you to have a full measure of the power of God. He wants you to be a supernatural witness to this world.

A lot of your trouble and heartache will be over when you stop being double-minded.

Jesus said in John 5:44: "How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?"

As long as you try to please man only, you cannot believe God. But when you just want to honor and please God alone, you can believe God for all things!

Hear this prophetic Word of the Lord:

'THUS SAITH THE LORD: MY VOICE IS COMING TO YOU, INTO YOUR VERY SPIRIT, FOR THIS IS THE HOUR OF DECISION. THE DAYS ARE SHORT AND THE HOUR IS SERIOUS. YOU MUST GIRD UP THE LOINS OF YOUR HEART. STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. DECIDE TO MOVE INTO THE DEEP WATERS OF THIS RIVER OF LIFE. IN THIS HOUR, I AM SAYING, COME UP HITHER.

I AM DRAWING MY PEOPLE UNTO MYSELF. I AM CLOTHING THEM WITH MY POWER.

WHO WILL COME? WHO WILL COME? WHO WILL WALK WITH ME IN THIS HOUR, SAITH THE LORD.

YOU ARE THE CHOSEN OF THE LORD. BELIEVE AND FOLLOW ME, SAITH GOD.

FOR MY NAME WILL BE LIFTED UP. IT WILL BE MAGNIFIED, SAITH THE LORD. THAT NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME SHALL BE LIFTED UP AND ADORED AND MAGNIFIED. YOU SHALL DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL NAME IN THE UNIVERSE.

THE ENEMY SHALL CRINGE IN FEAR AS HE SEES THE POWER IN MY NAME. MY PEOPLE WILL ARISE WITH THAT NAME AND THEY SHALL GO FORTH IN THIS HOUR. THEY SHALL LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS. THEY SHALL MAGNIFY THE NAME OF JESUS. THEY SHALL SEE AND DEMONSTRATE THE VICTORY THAT I GAINED BY THE CROSS AND EMPTY TOMB.

OH, MY PEOPLE LISTEN AND RECEIVE MY MESSAGE FOR THIS IS THE HOUR OF DELIVERANCE. I WILL USE YOU, SAITH THE LORD.'

Get your feet off of the bottom of that river. Get into the waters that cannot be passed over.

TRUST GOD WITH YOUR LIFE!

MAKE YOUR CHOICE!

LET THE RIVER OF GOD TAKE YOU WHERE IT WILL!

THIS RIVER IS FLOWING TO ALL THE WORLD!"


Awesome, right?

Now that I know, I am responsible

This has been stirring in me, that now that I know, I am responsible. I'm going to expound on this some.

James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

This scripture holds a lot in a few words. Think about it. If you know what you are supposed to do, and you don't do it, you're sinning. You may ask God for forgiveness, but if your not doing what God has told you to do, you are in a continual state of sin. If you heard what Pastor Susan taught this morning, or you heard any word that is for your church at that time, I'm going to tell you something....If you don't act on that word, (speaking of the word that Pastor Susan taught) you are not going to turn the corner and you will be in a state of sin. Now, do you really want to be like that? Oh man, I have been having to beat my flesh soooo bad, because satan has been trying to put so much fleshly things in front of me that have successfully enticed me. Anyways, I'm getting off subject here.

Luke 12:47-48 That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

I want to say something about doing His will. It says if we don't do what the master has told us to do, we will be beaten with many blows. You know, those blows, God will not inflict them on us. He does not want us to stray away from His plan, b/c when we do, we get out of that protection of God and satan has free range in our lives. The devil inflicts those blows b/c God has to take His hand away from us, b/c God can't come in contact with sin, b/c the Glory of God, the manifest presence of God, burns up sin, and God doesn't want to burn us up, so He has to take His hand away!

"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." I know that much has been given to us. We have an assignment to fulfill. I'm going to tell you right now, that God does not give you an assignment without equipping you! He gives you strength, joy, peace, and everything else you need! He has given us a grace to do what He has told us to do.

I'm going to finish this with this:
Luke 12:47-48 (The Message) The servant who knows what his master wants and ignores it, or insolently does whatever he pleases, will be thoroughly thrashed. But if he does a poor job through ignorance, he'll get off with a slap on the hand. Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!

Wow, that is powerful. Don't ignore God and do whatever you please to do, unless it is doing God's will. What I wanted to get out of this scripture is the part that says "ignorance."
Ignorance - The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.
We are not ignorant.
We know what we are supposed to do.

Philippians 3:15-16 (The Message) So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.

The mind.

I decided to post finally! God brought this back to me as a way to give out that fruit that is on the inside of me. Wow. God is amazing.

I'm going to be talking about the mind. The other day a verse just came up in my spirit:
1Peter 1:13 prepare your minds for action....
and I just kind of ignored it, but it kept coming back up in me. So, I decided to look up the scripture, and when I did.....wow! He started bringing up many many scriptures in my spirit and I was on fire!!!!! Hallelujah! He not only brought those scriptures to me, He brought much revelation with the scriptures!

He brought back to me a scripture I remember Pastor Kevin using in one of his sermons not too long ago:
Exodus 12:11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.
And Pastor Kevin put along with that, "Eat as ready for a journey." And God said to me "You must be ready in every way. If your mind is not on Godly things(Colossians 3:2) then you won't be ready.
Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night.
When I read "your mouth" I heard "your mind, heart, or spirit." So, He was telling me not to depart the Word from my mind, as well as my mouth. You have to keep it in your mind all the time.
Matthew 6:21 (the message) The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.
(NIV) For where your treasure is, there your heart[FOCUS] will be also.
I added focus in there because Pastor Nate always said that whenever he would say this scripture, and I thought it went good here. When you focus on something, your not just focusing with your spirit, but you are also focusing with your mind. Put your treasure in Godly things.
Colossians 3:1 set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Your heart is set at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above not on earthly things.
Your mind is not set at the right hand of God, so you must think on Godly things, so it will all tie together.
Romans 12:2(NIV) be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
(AMP) be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude].
Ephesians 4:23-24 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Changing your attitude is changing your opinions, thoughts, and disposition. When I saw that I had to look up disposition in the dictionary.
Disposition-state of mind regarding something.
Romans 8:5-8 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.18
Philippians 3:18-19
For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

There's some stuff to just think about that God has put on my heart. And I hope this encourages you to:
2Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

This is very important! We must set our minds, our hearts, and our WHOLE focus on God! That is the only way we will ever grow or ever be able to fulfill God's plan for our lives! It's time to get serious guys! You know, I wasn't going to put this until another blog, but I just really felt like I'm supposed to. Here is a definition of pressing that God gave me. Pressing is wanting so bad to get somewhere that you will give up anything to get there. We need to do as Paul said he did in Philippians 3! We need to press with all we have! Come on! WHO WANTS TO SEE MORE? COME ON GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, God has a plan, and the only way we will fulfill that plan is by pressing! WE MUST PRESS! WE NEED TO PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL TO WIN THE PRIZE FOR WHICH GOD HAS CALLED US HEAVENWARD IN CHRIST JESUS!!! AMEN!!

Okay, I will stop internet screaming at you. lol. But, you know, I'm talking to myself as much as I'm talking to anyone else. I hope all this made sense. =]

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Understanding the wonders of His Person

I have nothing to say today but I wanted to put of these scriptures. Is that OK? The word is good!

Philippians 3:8-10 (Amplified Bible)

8Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),

9And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.

10[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [[a]which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]

God's heart and desire...

Me and Jordan went to several places in Fort Smith this last Friday and I noticed something. There is a lost and crying people in Fort smith(not only Fort Smith but the surrounding areas too). I felt it so strong I almost couldn't enjoy the evening because I was about to cry. I was telling Jordan "I know why Jesus had compassion on the people." I was also just meditating and thinking on that on the way home and I had a revelation. It's not about me! It's not about me at all! I am here to see the glory reach all the earth. And I have had enough of sitting back. Something came to me as I was praying today..."The Lord has called me and I will respond! No longer will I back down! This world is crying for a Savior and He is the only one that can save them. I WILL NOT BE SILENT!" And these scriptures also came to me:

Matthew 9:35-38
35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Prayer is such an important part in the harvesting of souls. I encourage you soooo much to pray for that.

Matthew 20:16
For many are called, but few chosen.

I remember Go Ministries always saying that this scripture meant "Many are called, but few actually choose." I don't want to be one of the ones that are called but don't do what God is calling me to do. We are all called to do our part. Are you doing yours?

Luke 14:15-24
15When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God."

16Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.'

18"But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.'

19"Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.'

20"Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.'

21"The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.'

22" 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.'

23"Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. 24I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.' "

In my bible I have out to the side of these scriptures "They all had a call but they all had an excuse." I'm not using anymore excuses, there really is no excuse good enough. I've had enough of me thinking about myself. "Oh, I went to bed at midnight last night so I am just going to sleep a few more hours." That's not a good enough excuse....if you feel like you need to get up early and read the word or pray, then you better just do it. Like I said, there really isn't a good enough excuse. I don't want to be left out of the great thing that is coming because I didn't want to do what God wanted me to do. He made it simple.

Another thing I said to Jordan was,"I don't want people to look at me when it's over and say,'Why didn't you tell me about that(Jesus)?'"

To end this I'm going to write down the lyrics of a song. We got the new Hillsong United CD that day and was listening to it and this song came on and it was just what we were talking about.

Tear Down the Walls - Hillsong United
Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this

And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

Look to the skies hope arise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real

Cause I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart

This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It's all for You

Your Name is glorious
Glorious
Your love is changing us
Calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You

Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You



That fire/desire is burning deep within me. I only put this blog up to hopefully stir up that flame inside of you. This is Gods heart.

Change-the first step to a God lifestyle

Hello, everyone! I haven't been on here in a very long time. I just really felt like posting this. Change. Change is something everyone needs no matter who you are. I really struggled with it for some time. I thought I was letting God doing the changing for the longest time, but I wasn't. I was doing it all myself, and that is why it always failed. For example, I was watching movies almost everyday and I knew I wasn't supposed to. I would go to church and be like "Wow! That was so for me! I am totally going to quit doing that stuff!" And I would go home and do the same things. Now, I know that God is the true changer. He changed me SO much! He can change you too if you let Him. I started getting into His word everyday and that was what did the changing! I had no desire to watch tv, or movies, or any of that other stuff. I just craved God! I craved Him soo much! I wanted to go deeper in Him! Ahhh!!! It's so amazing what He can do if you just sumbit! I truly started listening to the messages that were being preached! OH, I can't even explain what I was feeling! It was amazing! Now, I am ready. I am ready to go to camp and be changed even more! To go deeper you must change!

Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

If there is any other scripture that goes along with this, please post it, because I was looking for a certain scripture and couldn't find it.

The next time I'll post will be after camp! bye!
