Hello all!
Im back with another update from being here in Christchurch, New Zealand! God has been so incredibly good. His love and grace have been all over this year so far.
Since Easter Camp and the events that happened around that time, I would think that there would be a time of rest or Selah, but God has been on the move and if you aren't aware or paying attention you'll miss what He is doing. In fact He is ALWAYS moving but it is a matter of partnering with Him. I have found myself being swept away by the river of glory that comes with pursuing the face of God. It is an indescribable feeling. I urge you to really press into the things of God. His ways are so much higher than ours. I don't know about you but I want new revelations of God, new wisdom, new strength, fresh oil, etc.
God has been taking me through a season of refining, of cleaning out my soul. I have been pressing into God and instead of suppressing the sin in my life, He is teaching me to bring ALL things into the light. For once you put sin into the light the hold it has on you, the power it once had is now taken away. He has been teaching me to be transparent so He can continually reveal Himself to me. Less is truly more. The more I let go of, the more I bring into the light, the more I am filled with the Lord. As I have been going through the revelation of bringing all my sin into the light, the Lord gave me a picture one day. I saw Jesus in a temple (representing my body, my soul, my spirit) and he was looking through a gallery of pictures. The temple was very bright and filled with a glorious natural light. I began to see the images and quickly recognized them. They were things within me. Good or bad. Jesus was looking through my life's "portfolio" so to speak. I realized that this image was a good depiction of how things really are. The Lord dwells within us, (our temple or body) and He sees everything. Many people, including myself for a time, are used to suppressing sin, and not bringing it into the light and dealing with it. I want Jesus to be able to dwell in my temple and be pleased at the gallery He sees. He is teaching me to be more and more transparent with Him, with the other interns and people around me. It truly is a new season that requires an adamant effort to reveal things we "hide" from God and others. I have been so blessed with the grace that comes with this process. I am so in love with Jesus and am so excited for what is next. Its incredible how exciting the Lord really is!!! Anyway I just felt like I was to share a bit of what God is doing in me! What season are you in? What is God speaking to you about? How is He talking to you? How can you make yourself more available to Him?
On July 4th, (less than a month from now) I will be going to Egypt with a team from Kingdom Reality Ministries. The trip is about $5,000 USD. Would you be willing to sow into this trip? First, the team and I could use prayer as we go through a very rigorous agenda of refining. We are fasting, and could use prayer for physical strength. Also pray we would be kept safe as we are there. Secondly, would you consider to sowing into me and the Egypt trip financially? I have two ways you can give monetarily. First you can use the Paypal link and give electronically. Second, you can send a check to Kingdom Reality Ministries. on the right of the page, there are instructions on how to write a check and where to send it to. Also, sending a check to the ministry allows you to receive a tax deduction.
Blessings on all of you! I pray God takes you to new heights! Be blessed.
Much love, D
