have you encountered the Living God? Have you been completely taken over with joy that you could not contain your laughter? Have you been so heavily wrapped in His fire breathing Spirit that your physical body could not sit up. could not stand up, or even move for that matter? Have you HEARD the voice of God tell you that he loves you, or is this just a little known fact that you have been told your entire christian lives?
Last night, the God of the universe, the Maker of heaven and earth, the one who created every star and calls them each by name, the Holy Holy Holy, God Almighty, encountered me. say what? i know. I sound like a crazy person, but all i can say to that is that we serve a CRAZY GOD, who loves us in a CRAZY, SCANDALOUS WAY. The Holy Spirit fell on the room in which we were worshipping and began to move in the hearts of our team. his love and power were revealed, and walls were torn down, chains were broken, and freedom fell in this place. The Holy Spirit was activated and we were there for 4 hours… dinner time was wayyyy over due before we even realized what had happened. I was completely satisfied with what God had already done in my heart, He empowered me with boldness, and with prophesy, and truth.
however, as I ate my Calzone, I heard the Lord speak in only a whisper this time to press in further. I contemplated going to bed and honestly didnt think of much more. I went to sit down on the floor of our big room near some teammates, and I layed back. the next thing I knew, my hands were over my face, and words, and words, and words, and songs, and songs, and songs, began flowing out of my spirit by way of my mouth and the room and the people disappeared. and. time.stood.still.
I remember the words flowing from my mouth very vividly, declarations of His Power, surrender of myself, asking, and begging for him to come, come, come and fill me UP. I am his daughter and He is mine. I am his daughter and He is mine. I am his daughter.and He is mine. At some point a guitar began to play and the music just swayed, and spilled, and toppled out…
The next thing I can even remember is opening my eyes, 2 hours later, to a slightly emptier room with Blair on the guitar and Josh right in front of me. I tried to sit up and was physically unable. I can´t even begin to explain the heaviness i felt that literally pushed me to the ground. And the Lord asked me “can you feel me?” haha right… to which my immediate and appropriate response was “YES!”. oh goodness, what good gifts does my heavenly father give to those who ask! I have asked for a supernatural encounter with Him, to know his goodness, to have His spirit over take my body, to Hear his voice, to hear him romance and love me, to be so connected with His spirit that i can not deny the Love He has for me.
since that moment, every part of me longs to encounter Him in that way again, every piece of me desires for MORE AND MORE AND MORE of who He is, and EVERY part of me wonders : how in the world did I get by for so long without that?
Do you HUNGER and THIRST for righteousness? for His Spirit? for his encounter? if you dont…. well then you should. because there is nothing Crazier, then having a Fire Breathing God, breath his Crazy fire breath upon your face.
