Holy Fire

Holy Fire from heaven, descend on us today

Let us burn again.....

Holy Fire from heaven, descend on us today

Let us burn again....

Waiting in expectancy...
Surrendered to Your Sovereignty

We waiting for Your intimacy, Lord

For the things You adore

God alone possesses the Power, Authority and Ability to touch us in such a way, that our hearts are forever changed. When His fire comes, we begin a love affair that stretches beyond time and space. A love affair that has driven kingdom's to their knees. Driven demons and darkness from people's lives and hearts. It is a pure love. One that mind or logic cannot reason or rationalize.

If ever there was a time such a fire was needed, it is this day.
If ever there was a time such a love was needed, it is this day.

If ever there was a people who needed to encounter this fire, we are those people.

Love of God has dimmed in this country.
I'm not talking about an affection for.....
I'm talking about the life changing, insane love that burns deep in the heart. I'm talking about the kind of love that waits to hear from God.
Is such a thing totally missing from our culture or nation? No. As always, God has a remnant of people who walk in such a manner. But my heart cries out for more than a remnant.

I desire to see the graveyard of addiction emptied because of the resurrection power of Jesus. I long to see those in addiction rise from their graves, shake off those clothes of death, and walk forward into the Holiness and fire of Jesus. A person who has been resurrected to new life has no fear of the world anymore. They are filled with the fire of God. There is the deep revelation of the price that was paid so they could rise "from the dead".

As my good friend Peggy says, "How say Ye?"

God on you this day....

Looking At The World Through Cracked Lens

As ol' Paul wrote in his Corinthian letters.."We see in part and we know in part." Now what piece of this bit of wisdom do we not get? I wish to not run around acting and trying to be some sort of Biblical G00-Ru (I meant to spell it wrong). Or a sage of sages.

I simply want to be able to communicate some of what God has given to me. Why? Do I think what I get is better than what you may have received from Him? Nope. But I do think encouragement comes when we share our daily story of struggle and victory in an effort to encourage each other.

Thanks for letting me share.

Time to soldier on..

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that God is the eternal king. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit equal in power and glory. we believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness and God's judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God's good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam's original sin. Human beings are born into sin, subject to God's judgment of death and captive to Satan's kingdom of darkness. We believe that Jesus, God's Son, was sent to this world, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary, fully God and fully man in one person. He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God's Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, ushering in God's kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. Jesus' atoning death on the cross took God's judgment for sin which we deserved as law-breakers. Jesus' resurrection and ascent back to heaven opened the door for those who received salvation to begin a relationship with God.

Little Nets Into Deep Waters

Fishing nets were designed for one purpose only. To catch fish. Nets are no good if they stay on the boat. Nets serve no purpose if they are never used. I think maybe God sees us this way. We are all created for a purpose (by the way, the creator gets to define what our purpose is). Any other use besides the one we were created for does us no good. But when the creator places His hands upon us, casting us out into those scary, dark places with deep waters, it is then we can see the reality of our purpose. He knew there would be a catch waiting for us. I think I will be the net God has called me to be.

The Twelve Steps

As a community of people in recovery, we affirm that our higher power is Jesus Christ. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Just as God told the children of Israel He was going to give them a promised land, He has revealed to us that He desires to give us a "Promised Life." When Israel got to the promised land, God instructed them to go and in a possess it, fight for it and claim it. In recovery, the 12 Steps are the directions given to us on how to fight, possess and claim this promised life.
