for such a time as this

LORD, there's such a sense of urgency on my heart now. the time is NOW. LORD, I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN ANYMORE. God, who am I to do anything to change the lives of those around me? to change this campus?

God, the time has come when it is no longer about me when i share about you. a time has come where i share a message with the power that Paul had, a message:
"not with wise and persuasive words, but a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
1 corinth. 2:4

LORD, show us your power!

God, who am i that my words will move hearts? who am i that my words will convince others that you are worth living for? who am i that my words can bring emotional freedom? who am i that my actions can demonstrate your love? who am i that i can speak life into dry bones? who am i to revive dull and weary hearts? God, i am so powerless. God i need you so much. Holy Spirit i need you so much. i'm tired of empty words. God, my actions aren't enough. i need your power. i need your power.

so i'm going on my knees.

HOLY SPIRIT COME. I WELCOME YOU TO COME TO UCSD. COME TOUCH LIVES. RELEASE HEALING POWER, PROPHETIC POWER, EMOTIONAL FREEDOM. REVIVE OUR HEARTS ONCE AGAIN. WE NEED YOU SO MUCH GOD. SHOW US YOUR KINDNESS. FOR YOU DELIGHT IN MERCY. YOU DELIGHT IN RESTORING THE BROKENHEARTED. YOU DELIGHT IN DRAWING US NEAR TO YOU.

and you have been speaking to me,
the spirit and bride say come.
rev. 22:17

oh, and how i want you to come.

He has been kind to pour out His Spirit at IHOP. and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom. and lives are being radically transformed, spiritually, emotionally and physically because His presence is manifested and made known in a tangible way. i pray for the same to happen at UCSD. God, that revival will mean that YOU ARE WITH US. and whatever that means, God just come and BE WITH US. heck, who knows what revival looks like, but i do know that it means that your Spirit is present. and we will know it without a doubt because you will do what you love doing:

for you bring restoration.
you bring freedom.
you give us joy.

God, bring us to a place where the in-dwelling of your presence that radically changes lives. that you will speak audibly to hearts, heal us from our brokenness, and that you would encounter and touch us in a tangible way.

so let your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. matt 6:10
show us what heaven is like, God. bring heaven on earth.

bring our hearts back to yours God. restore the first commandment back to first place. remind us what we are living for. and when we are bored with christianity, and worldly pleasures seem so much more attractive, draw us back with your attractive fragrance. God bring us back to our first love, Jesus.

note to self:
1) the year of the LORD's favor
2) red moon rising 24/7 prayer
3) a passion/burden for intercession

thank you LORD for taking me through a season of just me and You. and getting to know Your heart and how i can be closer to You. this is just the beginning.
i pray that i will be found faithful to the end, and at the end of the day i will be at a place where i love the man Jesus more. and need Him more. more than yesterday.

and at the end of the day, i rejoice not for the cool things He does but because my name is written in heaven.

for He loves me.
