Jesus, my everything

What am I doing right now? I am listening to Christina Aguilera's "I Turn to You" and I don't know if she is singing about the Lord, but that's how I'm listening to it...I feel like I'm in a season of turning. It is a season of burning. All security that has come from anything/anyone other than God is losing its grasp...
Everything I'am holding on to is disappearing. I can't hold on to my bank account. I can't hold on to my possessions. I can not hold on to people, I can not lean on them as my strength. I can not depend fully on family to be my support. I can not even depend on my church to be there for me all the time. Who can do it?? Who is able? Whose love is able to sustain me???? God. My Lord. My Beloved. The Lover. [I will try to expound more on this later...]

Tomorrow, all of us Burn interns are going to Washington DC to stand in front of the White House. A senator has asked that at least a hundred people stand outside the White House with LIFE tape across their mouth, and pray for the ending of abortion. There will be press. And I have a feeling this will be one of the most critical events I have ever been a part of so far. Please pray for us and pray together with us for the ending of abortion-that our government will promote the sanctity of life in the healthcare bill. If not, abortion will grow at an unprecedented level if this bill is passed. Taxes we pay will go to fund this mass genocide. I pray it will not happen. God have mercy on America.

2nd Week | 3rd Week

Deliverance week was not as intense as I expected it!!!!!! OH YEAH! Deliverance, for those who do not know-is going from believing a lie of the Enemy to believing the truth from God. Example: someone believes that they are ugly, then God breaks in and that lie is broken & that person lines themselves up God's truth that God sees them as beautiful and they are fearfully and wonderfully made!!! Deliverance week included: open doors, confidence in love, father and mother wounds, overcoming a spirit of fear, healing of memories, generational curses, and overcoming sexual sins/purity covenant.

The father wounds really helped me see that I've been seeing God like my dad. The Lord is good good Daddy. Hehe. God, all in all, broke off a lot of shame from deliverance week. :) These two wks, the Lord has been speaking to me about crowning me with "honor and glory" [Psalm 8:5] and showing me how He sees me instead of how I see me. Ephesians 1:17-19 has a treasure chest of revelation. I mean, check it out,"the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints." The saints-that is US!!! Meditate on these verses. I promise it will blow your mind :]
I started my apostolic preaching class last week. We were all assigned a chapter in the Bible and by the end of March have to preach 30 mins on it! I am a little nervous, but mostly excited! It was amazing our teacher asked God what to give each of us individually; and I got Hebrews 3! I am excited to meditate on it, so Holy Spirit can release some mad revelation.
Last Wed evening, the interns separated into groups and did SOZO outreach. SOZO is a class we take where we get trained in the supernatural:gifts of prophecy, healing, etc. For SOZO outreach, the group I was in went to Wegman's[super grocery store]. We prayed for words of knowledge before going in and Chad felt like we needed to go to the flower shop. So we got there and the woman behind the counter was happy to get prayer for her friends. She said we made her night :] Thank You, Jesus! We prayed for a couple others, but just wanted to share that nice testimony.
Last Thurs, we had consecration day. 10 hours in the prayer room while fasting the entire time. I believe we finally broke fast between 8 and 9PM. Every Thurs, the entire Burn staff + interns fast. Keep the flesh under control! Haha.

The King and His Bride

In the night, You came to me.
Locked far away in a dark, dreary place.
I am the Shulamite girl-out of sight,
Out of mind from the world outside.
To them, I am transparent.

In those times, He kept me alive.
Aye! My heart still steadily beats!
I was the trapped beauty. A ca'ged dove.
But the King of Glory set me free.
Across the meadow, we ran.
The dew dampening our garments.
{in a moment.....}
I was taken up by His swirling embrace.
Dapples of greens and blues danced before my eyes.
As the sun smiled in His.
My divine Romeo-
Yeshua.

He has come for me-to whisk me away.
Aye! But the bliss is short-lived.
In a hushed whisper, He tells me this,
"My hands are trained for war & my fingers for battle.
The time has come. The battle plan has been long ready."
I waste no time. My face is set toward His.
And war paint is smeared on.
We hasten together to the city as rockets fly
in the distant shores.
