What a beautiful day today. It was cool and so sunny. I had brunch with my parents and the kids (my awesome niece and nephew Lilly, 4 and Tyler, 18 months). We went to the city park after and played with the kids. They had a blast. It is awesome to do that kind of stuff with them. Its not stressful and it an easy atmosphere for them to behave.
Dan went to sleep around 8:00pm. I am glad, because he will need to be refreshed and strengthed for this week. God, give him strength and might on his inner man by Your Spirit.
Mike Bickle had a great message tonight about Hungering for Righteousness. I love the practicality of what he has to say. Did you know that this verse Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Mt. 5:6) actually means physical hunger and thirst? So, it is refering to fasting for the FULLNESS of God. I thought it just meant a strong desire. But, fasting makes much more sense. I am praying for the grace to fast. He also talked about praying as a pre-emptive strike to temptation, and that only the pure in heart will SEE God. (Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Mt. 5:8) So, to be pure in heart is to resist temptation and be free from sin. Sounds like a lofty goal, but the Holy Spirit EMPOWERS us to be obedient. Such revelation has come through that man to the body. I have great respect for him. So, more revelation, God. I desire to SEE You and be filled with the fullness of You. Blessed are You, Adonai, pure and holy God. There is none like You. Baruch ata Adonai Eloheynu Melech Ha-OlahmA-sher Kid-sha-nu Al Y'dey emu-nahB'Yeshua HaMoshiach Or Ha-OlamUvishmo Madlikim Ha-nair Shel Shabbat. Blessed are You O' Lord our God, King of the UniverseWho has santified us by Your word and has given us Yeshua, the Messiah, the Light of the world. Shalom
Hi Mandy! Thanks for stopping by my blog, how did you find it by the way? Thats so great that you are a part of the Indianapolis HOP, have you ever lived in KC? Maybe Steph and I will see you at the conference in Nov, that'd be cool. If you recognize us definately come say hi! We look just like the pics minus the nasty wigs and licorice!
I think I found your blog through a comment you made on Steph's blog. I found hers because by a comment she had made, too. There are a lot of House of Prayer people out there which is awesome. Visiting IHOP changed my life. Its nice to read other blogs and know that you are not alone!
hi Mandy, i too have visited KC ihop a handful of times and am glad to find your blog! that word about the fasting and being physically filled of hunger by JESUS himself, is powerful, oh, how i want to be there! nice to meet you...stop by my blog sometime if u like..rebekah
Hi Bek, It is quite amazing to me that you found my blog. I have been reading your blog for a couple of days, now. I think I stumbled upon yours through Aut's or maybe because you have International House of Prayer in your profile. I loved your posts about the healings and the prophetic scavenger hunt! And your son is just adorable. I was even telling my family yesterday about your testimony of praying for his eye to grow open and see. Its wonderful. I would be honored to join you and all of your friends in praying for his healing.
So, nice to meet you, too. I think it was a divine appointment!
Ps 27:4 One thing I have desired from the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to pray in His temple.(MKJV)
