  • Running the Race and Holiness

    No dear brothers and sisters I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I Press on to reach the end of the race and recieve the heavenly prize for which god, through Christ Jesus is calling us. Philippians 3:13-14

    Thinking of holiness I think about commitments and things I have set out to do. I have dedicated this year to the Lord, well my life actully, but speciffically right now my life is at The War College. It is a race, so much expected, so much growing, so much to endure. My task is to run this race full speed with all that I have to offer without holding back or cutting corners. I desire to live out and walk out all that The War college desires to accomplish. I want to experience what God has for me in fullness. I struggle with the temptation to take easy ways out or coast through, and listening to lies of defeat. But I want to be able to look behind me at what I had accomplished knowing I had ran the race and truly won the prize. I think it matches well with my name of being more then a conqueror, living up to that name and living up to my potential. Being obediant and doing what I know is right really helps in my endeavor to be holy an also running this race of war college, this race of life. Success in walking in obedience adds to my seperation of sin to be holy. I can throw off the sin that is on me and slows me down to hinder me. It is what I have been commanded to do. I will do it, I can be holy, and I am holy! Hallelujah!

    I am very excited about holiness, I am currently in a place of putting to practice that excitment. I have choosen life, and the old has past and new has come!

    All there is of me, Lord,

    All there is of me,

    Time and talents, day by day,

    All I bring to thee;

    All there is of me, Lord,

    All there is of me,

    On thine alter here I lay

    All there is of me

    SASB chorus section # 34

  • Pressing on

    I think we’re going somewhere.
    We’re on to something good here.
    Out of mind, out of state.
    Trying to keep my head on straight.
    I think we’re going somewhere.
    We’re on to something good here.
    There’s only one thing left to do.
    Drop all I have and go with you.

    [Chorus:]
    Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
    My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
    We’re going and I’m never knowing (never knowing) where we’re going.
    To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
    I’m pressing on.
    Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
    And I won’t sit back, and take this anymore.
    ‘Cause I’m done with that, I’ve got one foot out the door.
    And to go back where I was would just be wrong
    I’m pressing on.

    I think we’re going somewhere.
    We’re on to something good here.
    Out of mind, out of state.
    Trying to keep my head on straight.
    I think we’re going somewhere.
    We’re on to something good here.
    Adversity, we get around it.
    Searched for joy, in you I found it.

    You look down on me, but you don’t look down on me at all.
    You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
    I think we’re going somewhere.
    We’re on to something good here, and we’re gonna make it after all.

    This song has been in my head all week, well I actully only listened to it once, but the idea of it, its message has been in my head. It is a song by Relient K calling Pressing on. It goes well with the word I have received this week. Its hard but totally needed and nessasary. The answer is to just do what the Lord says is right, do what is good. just do what I have to do. slacking off has been easy to do, but it dosn’t result in a easy life experience.  So this week I can say I improved in pressing on, I woke up from my sleep of apathy, but I know there is more! so I will trust in the Lord to help me to keep fighting and not coast through. I know for sure I am so unable to keep on going without Jesus, I just need him, and I need to seek him!

    A verse thats been on my heart a lot latley is; Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

    So I pray that will be true in my life today/night! <IMG src="http://www.thewarcollege.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

  • I'll love you forever...

    "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."

    Tonight before league of mercy courtney read me the book I'll love you forever. dude i almost cried. It is a great book. It reminded me of my mom so much. my mom called me her baby right up till the end. that line was basically what she said to me always no matter what through it all. So hearing that childrens story reminded me of my mom and made me miss her. I want to hear her say she loves me, I miss her a lot. Take away all the sillyness and hurt and hardness we went through, the thing that is true she loved me lots, and we had good memories, and spent good times together. at the end in the story the mans mom is old and dyeing, and she rocks her to sleep and sings to her "I'll love you forever I'll like you for always as long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be." It is true, i love her forever.

  • Trust

    Trust its a big thing, and its a big struggle in my life, in the past and i feel as of recent. Its been hard becuase i have felt burned alot, I need to not be silent, but i just don't feel like its safe to not be silent sometimes. I realise i am probly just listneing to lies alot, and leaning on my own fears and insecurities. But it is just hard.

    today I had squad, and yea there was plenty that went on in the last week to talk about, but i was at a loss of words, i seemed to have forgotton everything i would possibly need to say, and just had no desire to speak. I just hate times like this becuase i know people get so frustrated with me, but i truly feel like i can't control it sometimes i get to a point fo no return. I also had discipleship today too, i could tell from my contributions in squad, i would havea  hard time in discipleship. i feel a lilttle bad about that, buts i tried.

    I go back and forth with trusting people in my life. sometimes people really prove to be trustworthy, but even still its really hard. I just have so much fear inside of me. I am so thankful that god has put people in my life to speak truth to me, to listen, to be my friend and all kinds of good things. I really want to show my thankfulness more somehow, show their influence is not unnoticed.

    I just really want to walk in truth, to only be beliving things that are true, to think truth and speak truth. i guess my distrust happens because of lies. so i just want to be free from all the ickyness of my life. I just feel alot, yeah this is my phrase to explain how i am. i just feel alot!

    Trust in the lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. this is a verse sticking out to me today. I constantly need to be trsuting in the Lord more, he won't burn me or let me down, that is fo sho!Praise The Lord!

  • Being all prophetic

     So faith is cool, its cool how it can stretch and grow and how its possible because of God. Everything i desire right now can only be done by faith, stepping out and faith and trusting the Lord. freedom and worship faith is needed, speaking in tounges, faith is needed, beliving truth, faith is needed, and hearing from the Lord and spekaing it out, faith is needed!

    We have a class called holy space, um it varies each week what it is and what it looks like, buts its lotsa worshiping in spirit and praying and hearing from the lord, and also working through things and more.Well today in holy space we did a bunch of profetic activations because we have run out of time to do them in extreme profetic class. man being profetic is so scarey and hard, man my faith  is being streched so much to do this. buts i am hearing form the Lord! PTL! we did one where half of us stood facing the wall with our eyes closed not aware of who was behind us to profesy to but man jeni tricked me, she stood behind me so i would get a word for her, welll maybe not tricked, and it wasn't that bad either, actully what i got resonated well with her and so it was pretty sweet, and encouraging. but man i totally knew at some point it was her even though my eyes were closed, i just  sensed it or felt its! ooolalala!

    for extreme prophetic we have to do a prphet study and present it in class. I chose Jonah. mostly cuz i like the veggie tales movie, and hoped to get ahold of a copy to watch it. still hasnt happened. but the storys pretty simple, well his prophetic life, he hears form God a message to give to a bunch of people, needs to go and tell them. I see i big lesson of the importance of obedience. I can relate to being fearful becuase of things God may say so me, and the unthinkable, can even relate to time of being prideful to be against others, because i think that was a big reason he ran the opposite direction, they were a different type of people who he didnt like.

    so as i learn about prophets, and being prophetic, i hope that God would keep me humble, and make me more and more humble, that i would not loose sight of what is true. buts i am pretty excited about all this!

    heres a song thats been on my heart for a few weeks now, i heard it when i was in seattle at a International house of prayer, prayer conference.

    I want to live before Your eyes
    I want to stay before Your, gaze
    So keep me steady here


    I want to run the race
    I want to keep the faith
    Help me win the prize
    Of the knowledge of You

    I want to be found faithful
    I want to be found steady
    I want to be found faithful
    Until the end
