Wow! I have been saying, "Lord I need You", over and over again for so many years, and though this may be true in one sense, a revelation I just received is actually, Wow, Lord, I HAVE You! I HAVE You! I HAVE YOU!!!!
I have Him LIVING in me!!!
2 Cor 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
I am in Christ, I AM a new creation. Wow, God, thank You Lord!!!!
Renew my mind to have this kind of thinking, where I realize I already Have You! And no longer need the thing that I already have :) And that's amazing!!!

Perfect LOVE
"When we become a Christian, we don't learn to love, we become love" - Todd White
Holy Spirit, perfect love, lives in us...wow, how amazing is that?
But do we really believe that? Everywhere we take a step, to work, in our house, to a restaurant, or the store...this perfect love is in us...WOW!
I don't think we truly understand that and that's why we are constantly in this phase of trying to learn to love...only those moments that we can understand that we have this perfect love in us, dwelling in our bodies, can we walk out that we have become love..."we have become light of the world, a city on a hill, a light not under a basket, but on the stand for the whole house to see" Mt 5:14-15.
I'm so convicted. I haven't represented this perfect love...everywhere I go. I'm sorry Lord.
Good-bye to road rage. Good-bye to attitudes to rude service. Good-bye to being hurt at hurtful and offensive comments.
Hello to perfect love that doesn't get offended. that forgives. that loves no matter what.
Jesus, You are amazing. I praise you. I thank you for dying on the cross for my sins and taking them away and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Let me always remember Your perfect love in me everywhere I walk.

Rocked! I'm not the SAME!!!
This past week God has been using messages on youtube to rock our world. Absolutely rocked and ruined for the ordinary.
This video is about 2 hours long, but its better than any movie I have seen in a long time, so if you have time to watch a movie...you have time to watch this. And if you are someone hungry for the Lord and the things of the Lord....you will be rocked too:
Todd White - Set your mind on things above
If you Click above, its part 1...make sure you watch part 2 too because its awesome.
After my husband and I watched this, the Lord has been convicting our hearts...cleansing us, really. We've been confessing sin...even the little ones. We've been just more joyful, in love...with Jesus and with each other. We've been excited to do God's work and to see how He wants to use us, whenever, wherever.
I've personally been able to see that I truly am a new creation...gosh I almost feel like when I was born again! Where I am understanding God's amazing love for me and for others...letting the Lord melt the fear of man off of me so that I can have eternal perspective...loving others even if they are spitting in my face...which has never happened to me, but has happened to the one I love. And He loved back.
On top of watching this, we watched:
Francis Chan - Living with JOY
Rejoicing is a command. Not to worry or be anxious is also a command. and Yes, all the time...its possible. I felt it this past week. I haven't worried about anything...the moment it creeps in, I remember the Lord and how and why He commanded this. Wow, God! Yay, God! And I'm not writing this with my life perfect right now...I'm writing in the midst of some trials....and Paul wrote in prison!! Its possible to have joy and no worries with Jesus, no matter what.
How big is your God? Because My God is Awesome and SO SO BIG! One true encounter with Him and you will be transformed. I've been praying for more of Him...seeking Him. Praying for Him to be my one thing. And He's truly answered my prayers by allowing me to watch these messages and hear these stories...they might seem random 2 videos, but they're not. It's pretty much where do you set your mind and your heart? If it's totally on Him, you will live a totally awesome and rocked life, full of joy and no worries. Who wouldn't want that?
How much do you seek Him? How bad do you want the things of Him...not this earthly stuff.
Colossians 3:1-3 says, "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
