Decisions -
I am making choices. I choose to live a life a risk. Tomorrow i'm going to make myself available to hear the word, to have words of knowledge, words of wisdom and prophetic words for people.
I am going to honor people for what they have
I am going to cultivate a personal history, and seek His presence, and seek His voice, to hear what he is saying in this season. Sunday service needs to be confirmation, it needs to be a compliment, a supplementary to what God has been showing me during the week. I can't afford to wait for a sunday for a good word for life transformation. Life transformation is an everyday deal.
I am choosing to manage my time. I have chosen things to "give up" to "go up". I'm choosing to steward my time better. Free time is primarily soaking, reading, video editing, minimal surfing. I can't afford to waste this time. I am choosing to study well, to not be lazy. Because lazy just means I have to do more work later.
I am going to be a blessing. I have set things in my heart to do for God, so God, I need you to bless me so i can carry out these dreams that you have placed in my life.
I am going to write/type. I want to become breakthrough for others. My personal breakthroughs must (should) become a corporate breakthrough.

blog from monday.
8/3/09
last night was the first night of baayf.
when we got there, i rallied some people together to start a pryaer walk around the camp. we were bout ot get the girls in (em, joan, sam). when we got there, they said we should pray for a girl that came with crutches and messed up her ankle. we ended up sharing the disneyland testimony with her and laid hands on her, and she said there was some improvement. we left early because we wnated to go on with the prayer walk. we ended up splitting up, just me/sam/ben and we started prophecying over the cabin just to release what God had in store for camp this year.
prayer walking the camp was hilariously fun, we found joy in discovering God's plans and destinies over each cabin, soaking each door with the presence, so that people would come 'under the influence' of the Spirit as they would walk in their doors. Each cabin had something new in store... each cabin had a strong impression...this year, the girls cabins are going to be the epicenter of this revival..

this year they're starting something new with the counselors. they have shifts for counselors to pray during the night session, 15 minute chunks to intercede for whatever may be going on during camp.
*God teach me to celebrate other people's victories, help me to see their joy and their breakthrough, and give me the grace to celebrate with them*
after the night session, we had small groups. it was supposed to be a 'get-to-know-you' kind of deal, but i guess Holy Spirit had different plans. I asked each of them what they were looking to get out of camp. And then I ended up sharing my testimony with them, kevin, quoc, jesusculture, todd bentley. and that of course led to showing them the disneyland video. After the disneyland video, I ended up asking them if they wanted more of God, more of Holy Spirit. In short, they ended up saying, "yea we want more of God". So then we just prayed and invited Holy Spirit to come, and after, some of them felt His presence come.
So yea, fun way to kick of baayf. God's got a ton in store for everyone, my cabin, everyone. all the staff/counselors.
Jesus come! Blow the place up hahaa.

Seeing myself grow
it's pretty crazy.
at this point, I can see that i have more than i had just a few weeks ago. I'm thinking back to school of worship, and my cry was to have more. And now, I can see it.
God totally increased revelation in my life, it is normal to get a life-changing revelation... all the time.

"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." - Leonard Cohen
I just read that off my friend's quotes on FB. They smoke and they know it's bad, but they really want to quit.
A nation can be saved in one day. And a son that is willing to rise up and be himself is all that we need to see people multiplied in the kingdom.

There is a huge increase of His presence, I just notice it now. I remember Bill talking about worship, how it's really about those times we have to recognize when we need to just stop and worship. I've been having those more and more, where God interjects randomly during the day, and i just stop. and gaze.
More!
listening to ALIVE - Ian McIntosh. Amazing album.

School of Worship day 2
So... i've been telling people lately that I can't "feel" tangibly the presence (like Joe/Alley/Logan kind of deal) Or just manifestations/whatnot. But then today... there was an amazingly powerful experience during worship... the glory just fell, and i could smell cinnamon. In the sermix with Todd Bentley, i remember his describing his encounter with Jesus, and he said he smelled cinnamon. So when i smelled it during worship, i immediately thought, "the king is here" like Kim's spontaneous worship. I just relaxed, enjoyed the presence, and just inhaled the goodness.
I think it was about two/three weeks ago i finally took a break, stepped back and wondered, what am i doing (in worship)? I caught myself, I realized that for a time, i was merely just singing a song.. and meaning it. It's good, but not best. So it was when i stepped back and thought about it, i realized what it was about. It's about the presence. He is here, the King is here. And the fact that this all started a few weeks before school of worship is awesome!
So back today... i smell cinnamon! Brian and Jenn are amazing worship leaders... people who can lead us deep into His presence. There was a point where Jenn said, "there's a cloud of glory in this place", I agreed in my heart, because i knew that this was already a powerful manifestation of His presence already. But i didn't expect what was gonna happen next. I was just in the 'receiving position', and then this weight/force/warmth started to come on my hands. I'm thinking, ooohh this is it, more Jesus! and then all of a sudden this presence comes behind me, all over my back, behind me up to my head. Almost tingly, not the chills in your spine kind of deal, it is hard to describe, but all i can say is that when that presence came, it was totally the fear and awe of the Lord came upon me. I couldn't sing, I could only gaze.
Brian started playing "Here is love" the welsh revival song, and it was just a whole other level...
I'm learning a lot about responding. Everything we learn about in our daily walk (it's a relationship) smoothly translates into a corporate worship-leading setting. It's all about following His voice, and responding to Him.
I said this on day 1, but it's now day 2 moving onto 3, and it's gonna be amazing =D.
.. peace!
