Who I Am

I am a child of the King. I am a princess in the kingdom of God. I am blessed beyond measure because my Daddy provides everything I need. I am assured of my salvation. I am learning to be an eagle for God.

Leif Hetland is currently conducting a "Soaring as Eagles" conference at Heartland Assembly in Ankeny, IA. He talked a lot last night about knowing who we are and whose we are. We are God's. He bought us with a price, that price being his Son. Jesus gave His life for me and the question is posed once again, what will I do with my life for Jesus today.

God is doing a deep work in me. Plans that I had abandoned due to past issues in my life, God is stirring those things in me again. I don't know much, but I know that God knows and that is all that matters.

I had an opportunity to talk to my friend Jenni last night about some things that God was teaching me. Jenni and I share a similar past but God has shown us the same grace. I know that although our overall ministries may be different, we will minister together on occasion. I was telling Jenni about an e-mail i sent to one of my friends, someone that I knew from my past. In part, I told my friend that life and love are found in a relationship with Jesus and until that is established everything else fails to be true. I see the rest of my life in the eyes of Jesus. My friend didn't respond too great to this e-mail but the message was put out there, she has now heard it and I'll continue to pray that the seed that has been planted will be watered and given light so it can grow. We talked on the phone for over 2 hours and as the call was nearing an end, I had a Sheryl Crow song come to mind. I don't normally listen to Sheryl Crow, or much secular music at all for that matter, but basically the chorus to the song goes "I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up." But I said that I was going to soak the up the Son, as in Jesus, and am going to tell everyone that true freedom comes in knowing and being known by Him.

We are His. Bought with a price. Destined for greatness. Empowered by the Spirit.

Anticipation

God is moving. I can feel it. We had a prayer meeting at Heartland Assembly in Ankeny, IA last night. We are preparing for a conference there that is starting tomorrow. Leif Hetland will be the speaker. He is coming up from Florida where some exciting things have been happening. Healings, supernatural signs and wonders.... the reports are amazing.
I am ready to see God move as I've never seen before. The anticipation is high. God is faithful to those who apprehend Him.

Learning

It's been awhile since I've posted things here. That means I've either been learning a lot and have little time to write, or I have been learning nothing at all. Well, I've been learning a lot. In time, I will share more, but these are just the highlights:

1) Grace - Sometimes I get what I don't deserve, because Jesus died on the cross for what I did deserve

2) Unconditional love - Jesus drew people in with love, let that love and His power change them and then said go and sin no more. Too many people what you in your Sunday best before they will love you. They remember the preach the truth part, but leave out the in love part.

3) Forgiveness - I can let people off the hook, knowing that God will deal with them. Just because I forgive, it doesn't mean I have to forget, but I don't need to hang on to things that Jesus is better at dealing with than I am.

4) I am a princess - My Father is the King, that makes me a princess. For more insight into this, please read "The Supernatural Ways of Royalty" by Kris Valloton and Bill Johnson.

Anyways, God is awesome. Big things are happening. Keep your eyes open and you will see God move everyday.
