The Storm is Over Now, Now here comes the River!!


This semester was pretty stressful for me. I had to learn a few things about myself that really woke me up to the reality of immaturity. When I said I ready to go to 'the next level in God" in the last post, I really meant I was ready to mature in Christ. Now, after this past Friday night I didn't realize that how much I was afraid to grow up. I had so much fear to step in the the deep river of God. I had a vision when I was talking with Lindsey I was a little boy standing at the edge of the pool looking on to his Daddy who is in the deep part of the pool looking back at him. The Daddy is calling to His son to jump in. Knowing that his Daddy would catch him, the little boy is tensed because he sees the depths of the pool. He is not afraid to go into the pool as long as his feet touches the floor. But his Father is calling for His son to look onto Him and jump.
That little boy is me and his Daddy is God. My God, it was an eyeopener to see this truth. Prophetic revelations are diminutive to the Father's calling to intimacy. This winter break I ask the Body to keep me in prayer. He's calling all of us into intimate fellowship. We can only have that in Christ and if we fully surrender ourselves. I know how to bow my face before the throne of God and reverence Him in His splendor. Now it's time to seek His face. Preaching does not matter to me if cannot know more of the One whom I am preaching. Though my flesh is weak, and my heart is sometimes afraid, my spirit says "Yes, Father I wanna go deeper!" Please keep this brother in prayer this season. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year in Jesus' Name! God Bless!

Transition

This semester was a difficult one to get through, but I thank God He got me through it! I have met new people in my life that really challenged me to grow more, but I haven't really grown that much. This past weekend the Lord spoke to my spirit and told me it's time for a change. He is transitioning me to prepare for the future. I am willing to learn from Him what must be done and come under the proper persons to lead and guide into the next level in God! I'm just going to wait and trust and depend on the Lord for direction. Father, I thank You for giving me life and strength. Thank You for allowing to live another day. God I just reverence Your Name above all things. Lord, I'm willing to obey, just lead me, Father into the destiny You have foreordained for me in Your Will. I pray that You bless the Beloved Body of the Lord Jesus and strengthen and continue to prepare Your people for your Son's Coming. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

He Knows Just How Much We Can Bear!


There's a hymn of Zion called "He Knows Just How much We Can Bear" inspired by a Biblical verse that escapes my mind at the moment. Right now I am supposed to be revising a Term Paper for African American History class. I earned an 84 which is a low B score. I'm grateful for it! My professor gave us a another week to edit and add more "meat" to it. I am so tired right now. I was on assignment last night and didn't get it until 5am. God promised to redeem the time, but I admit I was disobedient. Really expecting the professor to cancel. He was sick yesterday. I prayed for God to heal him. I was wrestling constantly with my flesh. My flesh was insisting, "He'll cancel class tomorrow, he's sick." LORD help me! So I'm in the Student Memorial Center in the Computer Lab writing this. I pray that God has mercy upon me. I asked him if I may write a prayer request for my great-grandmother on FACEBOOK. She fell and broke her hip and now she's in the hospital. If anybody reads this, please keep her in prayer!
When it comes to assigments like term papers, I usually work under pressure (I am a procrastinator). I am pooped! I'm ready for this semester to be over. Praise the LORD!!! He got us through the storms. I pray for all my brothers and sisters! Hang in there, People. He won't give us more than we can Bear! Again, keep a brother in prayer. He needs it because he's gonna get a but whooping from the Most High! God be blessed forever. Amen!

Ode to my beautiful Kindred-Spirit Sister, Lindsey Marie Williams


My sister in the Lord, Lindsey Williams is, I believe, one of the most precious gifts to the Body of Christ. The Father thought of a beautiful soul- a wise, discerning woman who would declare the oracles of God is this generation. I have found this in Lindsey. She is definitely marriage potential, but she is taken. I have to be honest, she is incredibly sexy! I mean this not in a lustful way. Lindsey has the whole package- looks, brains, and a fiery spirit! I'm glad God linked me with Lindsey. She is going to be instrumental in the selecting of my future wife and she is a yokefellow in ministry. Her future husband has a huge responsibility in protecting Lindsey and not slowing her down in obeying the voice of the Lord. When the Lord calls Lindsey, she obeys without question!
In the meantime, I have the responsiblity to be a a keeper of my sister, Lindsey. She continues to be a great blessing in my life. She is always challenging me to hear and obey the voice of the Master. God has graced Lindsey with an abundance of wisdom. Through Lindsey I have learned that intimacy with God is the most rewarding experience in the life of the believer. I am forever grateful to God for giving me a sister in Lindsey Marie Williams. Though we may go separate ways in the future, we will never be separate in our spirit. Heavenly Father, continue to bless my sister, Lindsey with all that Your Hand may provide and may You draw her closer to You every day of her life, in Jesus' Name. Amen. I love you Lindsey!
