I want REALITY. I want my relationship with God to be REAL. I want our love to be real. I want to be anchored and grounded and deeply rooted in LOVE that is REAL. I want to walk in the fullness.
I don't just want to pray about knowing God and encountering God, I want to actually encounter Him.
A friend of mine the other day pulled me aside and gave me a prophetic word about experiencing God and having a double portion of every dream the Lord and I dreamed about together in Africa. That I will receive double of all that!! And also that there is so much more for me and my relationship and intimacy with God, and just KNOWING GOD, that it will be real and more than words and rhetoric. I WANT THAT SO BAD!!!!!
I WANT TO KNOW GOD! I WANT TO EXPERIENCE HIM MORE THAN I DID WHEN I WAS 16 AND 17.
I WANT MORE AND I WANT THE FULLNESS!
I am so hungry for more of Him. I truly am. Not just because I am here in a place where my heart thrives. Not just because I get to do what I love to do every single day of my life. But because I NEED HIM. He is stirring up my passion and hunger and I want it to be the desire that cries the loudest!
I want my heart cry to know God to be louder than all the other cries of my heart. I want it to be louder than the cry for love and intimacy with a man. I want it to be louder than the cry for revival in America and in the nations. I want it to be louder than the cry to be seen and known and appreciated.
I WANT IT TO BE THE LOUDEST CRY THAT IS RISING FROM MY HEART. I WANT TO KNOW GOD. I WANT TO LOVE GOD. I WANT HIM.
I don't want to know just what he does, or the way he works, or what he is like. I want to KNOW HIM!!!!!!
If there was a person that i really wanted to meet and get to know, I wouldn't be satisfied with just knowing what they do. Or who they act like. Or the way they do things. No way, I would want to KNOW THEM. To spend time with them and talk to them and REALLY GET TO KNOW THEIR HEART.
That is how I want to know God.
And Jesus Christ has made it possible for me to do that. To go beyond the veil and SEE HIS FACE.
Hallelujah. My heart cries to know God. LORD, LET THIS CRY RING THE LOUDEST AND STRONGEST! AND ANSWER THIS HEART CRY!!!!!!! MORE THAN ANY OTHER HEARTCRY!

Who I Am
I am the purchased possession of God. I am His, 100%. I belong to Him.
When I pray, things move. When I pray the heavens open, because I am His child. I declare things into the earth from a position of authority and ruler-ship with Christ.
I SPEAK HIS WORDS. What He tells me is what I say.
I proclaim liberty to the captives. I proclaim hope to the hopeless. I proclaim life to the dead. I proclaim peace to the restless. I proclaim healing to the broken. I proclaim justice for the oppressed.
Drug addicts are set free. The power of sexual immorality is broken. Little children are set free out of brothels. Prostitutes are washed clean and made whole. Poverty is vanquished. The eyes of the blind are opened and the ears of the deaf are unstopped. The lame can walk, and the dead are raised. Injustice is overthrown. The sleeping church will awaken and arise and become the beautiful Bride Jesus purchased.
Chains fall off when I pray.
Darkness flees when I pray.
Awakening comes when I pray.
The Glory of God falls when I pray.
The enemy runs and hides when I pray.
There is nothing else that I would rather do with my life.
This is why I am here in Kansas City Missouri and not at college earning a degree. The awakening Jesus Christ breathed upon my heart has made me do some crazy things. Things I would have never done otherwise. Such as go live in the heat and dirt of Africa in a tiny house with 14 people and eat rice and beans every day. Such as save up all my money and use all my savings to come spend my life praying throughout the night. Jesus Christ has wrecked my life, and it's made me do some crazy things. I will continue to do crazy things with my life in the future because of Him. I will open my home to anyone and everyone. I will bring home orphans and provide them with a safe family. I will adopt and care for foster children that would have otherwise gone through family after family never feeling like they belong to anyone. I will travel to the ends of the earth carrying His presence and see things happen. Nations transform.
I wouldn't have it any other way. I am forever bound to this purpose. I will give my life to Him. HE IS WORTHY!!!!!!!!!

Daddy is a Dreamer
To dream is to create. Dreaming makes things happen.
These are some of my notes from Dutch Sheets' message at RAMP Georgia. SO, SO, SO GOOD!!!!!
The main reason I am a dreamer is because God wants outlets to fulfill His dreams. I am an outlet for His dreams to be released into the earth. First He dreamed OF me, and now He dreams THROUGH me. All of my dreams are not just MY dreams, they are God's dreams. And His are much bigger than I even know. God wants friends to share His dreams with, not servants or robots. We are on a quest not just to see our dreams fulfilled but a quest for friendship.
And a word God spoke to me: "Dream with me. Don't doubt what I've put inside you. Everything you want is in my will. Your desires and will are completely aligned to me. Your dreams are mine. Dreamer, dream! Don't worry about how it's going to happen. Learn not to care or fret about how it's going to look. I'M doing this-this is MY dream- and you are partnering with me to fulfill it. We have the same heart. I have found a friend in you. YOU KNOW ME. And I KNOW YOU. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry. I know how to make this happen. Keep on dreaming and don't stop. DON'T WORRY.
I'm very good at making dreams come true. :)
