Let it rain down, this glory so bright.

Ezekiel. That lucky man. His visions and him seeing the glory of God. 

I'm utterly amazed and I totally understand how he fell facedown and couldn't speak for 7 days. I don't think I could speak for a month.

Just to see a glimpse of the glory of God...

Well, we see it everyday and yet we're oblivious.

True, not the unveiled, manifest glory of God that shone on Moses' face.

But in the way babies come

And in the way the whole earth works.

The HEAVENS declare His glory! I can't wrap my mind around Jesus knowing every single star in the sky. If I tried, I'm pretty sure my head would burst. My head and my heart.

How can I not love this God who is perfect and beautiful in every way?

Beautiful in His jealousy, beautiful in His love. Beautiful in His mercy and in His justice. So incredibly beautiful in the way He wraps us in His arms and whispers in our ears that He loves us, and we are beautiful and He will never leave us.

How can I not fall down every single day on my face when I'm in His presence? 

I want more of His presence. More than before. and I'm going to keep wanting more; and He has more to give.

I want to come before Jesus, unveiled, my heart stretched towards Him, only to see a glimpse, a mere glimpse of His face.  I just want to see your face, to touch the hem of your garment. I want more than I've ever had before of your presence, your glory!

I want Your glory to shine on my face, so that everyone can see that You are alive and they give You praise. I want to see You glorified.

Pride, be broken.

Driving along in my Monte Carlo
Coming home from school
I was listening to Jesus Culture
The song "Oh Lord, you're beautiful"
Have you ever truly listened to the lyrics?


"I want to take Your Word and shine it all around
But first help me just to live it, Lord
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek the crown
For my reward is giving glory to You"


I can't mention the number of times I've seeked the crown
Of pride that I'm doing better than someone else
That I'm somehow "Holier" than others
When my sins are just as bad
Just not as evident as some peoples


This song broke me. Have I truly been giving glory to God
and that's a good enough reward?
Or have I just been giving Him lip service
and been expecting so much more than giving the glory to God?


I don't want to go through my life giving lip service. 
The emptiness of that...terrifies me.
I want to give glory to God...
I want every action to glorify Him...


"Oh Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with holy fear"

I want my first love to get the glory He deserves.


I'm human.
I'm not perfect.
I make mistakes.
Please, call me out on it.
Because I want to be
like my Jesus.

Start a Holy Fire!

People say America is going down in flames.

Are we going to accept that like meek little lambs, praying to a God that we think wants to see our demise? Praying “Oh God, prepare us for our destruction. Please don’t let it hurt too much.”

I'm so sick of people saying "You're young. You can't do anything." Baby, we are the revolution. We are world changers. I refuse to let people who want us to fail tell us how we can't change the world. 

You say America is going down in flames?

Nah, it's going up in flames.

In parts around the country, we are seeing God working, we are seeing revival!! America is being consumed by holy fire!

You say America is going down in flames?

You gonna accept that?

As I recall, Abraham changed God's mind. 

Why can't we? 

Moses changed God's mind.

Why can't we?

I refuse to accept that we are mindless little robots that are servants for a God who doesn't care.

He created us to be world changers!

Yes, God is powerful. But he needs our help. Please...please stop sitting on your butts and do something. I am soo guilty of not doing anything. All talk. I'm sick of it. 

And I'm not satisfied with it either.

I refuse to accept that we’re just supposed to get through each day, that we’re only alive to make ourselves happy. 

For we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. 

We are supposed to pour this love out on others. 

“For love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.” (Song of Songs 8:6) 

When we show this and lavish this love on others, they can’t help but be consumed by a holy fire; by an ever loving, adoring God. 

We were created for such a time as this. 

We were created to be here, in America, at this moment in time. 

For something so much bigger than us.

So much bigger than our selfish “The world needs to please me” attitude. 

If you are in the middle of a job transition, or just working a job you think is pointless and you don’t know what you want to do with your life…just start up a revolution. All it takes is a little love, a little us, and God. 

We were created to start a revolution, a revival, a holy fire that is going to make the biggest war look like child’s play; except that people are going to be absolutely transformed by His love, not dying from hatred. 

And the fight isn’t against a country, the world. It’s against principalities and the kingdom of darkness. 

We’s gonna kill satan with looove. :-D

The Great Romance...

One of my favorite series of books is the Circle Triology by Ted Dekker. In one part of the books, the little boy is like Jesus and he takes his followers swimming in this lake. The electricity...the love, joy, peace, they experience while in that lake is like basking in God's love for us. It is so ELECTRIC. All of their sins fall away and they want nothing more than to love Jesus and feel his love. (Read those books...Black, Red, and White are the names of the three in the series).


Our relationship with Jesus is just that...a great romance. Yes, he is a King and powerful. But he also has a side that is so incredibly in love with you...you are his princess/prince. "His love like a hurricane, I am a tree." That's how His love for us is.  In His presence, it's like getting wrecked, in an awesome way, by a hurricane. It makes you faint with love for Him. Everything else in this world fades away while experiencing his love. It is...dancing with your lover, walking barefoot along the beach, stargazing and wondering at the majesty of Him. 


My favorite book of the Bible is Song of Songs because it so erotic yet pure. So pure. Jesus' love for us is SO CRAZY INSANE!!! Yet so pure at the same time. All of the blackness, the depression leaves when his love comes into play. 


Let Him romance you. Let him dance with you. Let Him whisper his words of love into your ear and tell you that you are precious...you are beautiful...let religion go, and let the Spirit come. Let Him destroy all other lovers that keep you bound and chained up in depression and sin. 


Just let Him in. Let Him romance you. He will never break your heart, or make you cry (Only in a good way!) or rip your heart to a million pieces. He will never cheat on you. He only gives good. 


Let Him romance you.
