"When Heaven....

..Invades Earth..."  
 
                               I just started reading this yesterday. For some reason, I started in the back of the book. I never, ever do this. I always like to read things front to back and never out of sequence. Ever. 
Jeffrey had to read this before he got to Bethel.  Already I've learned a lot. Like how God wants to change the way we think about life. How we are suppose to walk in the Spirit everyday. and how new, will always be just that new. God loves us, but let's face it. He's God. There's no way we'll ever understand Him or the order of things He does.  We can't even figure out why He gave us a gallbladder that we sometimes don't need.... He's God. As much as we would like it, He's probably not going to call you and give you a heads-up when He starts to do something new. 
                              Revival is always looked at as new, and sometimes strange. The key to true revival is that it should live in your hearts and lives. Not just in a church or just in a meeting. In our hearts. Everyday.  
How cool would it be if we walked with the Holy Spirit everyday, in everything we did. I'm an interpreter. I completely believe that one day people will request me, because they'll know my God can heal. Can you imagine?? Divorce lawyers who help their clients restore relationships? Psychologist who can pray and deliver clients in a few hours? Medical doctors who can raise the dead? Florist who can prophesy over their clients? Fashion designers who point the world to God.
This is what my generation desires. This is who we are. This is who we are becoming. This is Heaven...on Earth. God in us. the hope of glory.

Revealed

At least once a week I get to listen to an amazing revelation that Jeffrey has heard in class, or from one of his housemates and Oh how I have learned!  Much to J's chagrin, I get to learn the good stuff, without sitting through all the "boring stuff".  In the past few months I have slowly began to learn about how deep the Father's love is for me. I grew up singing "Jesus Loves Me",  but somewhere in there, I think we should add a verse..."yes, Jesus loves me-no matter what I've done. Yes, Jesus loves me, He tells me I'm His one. Yes, Jesus loves me, through His grace I have won..."  The love that the Father has for us is far more imaginable than anything  we could ever hope to know. 

And speaking of love...Just about two weeks ago, I got a beautiful symbol of love from that boy of mine. Handcrafted and made just for me. Much like we are crafted and made for God, one of a kind. 
Wedding date is pending, but I can't wait to wrap myself in white(or ivory) and walk down the aisle to start my Great Adventure with Jeffrey at my side


If you don't understand the kind of love I'm talking about, ask God to show you. He will, He delights in it.
