so i heard this story yesterday

ok first of all...i have gotten bored with blogging:( i feel like i have no vision for it...ya know, what i mean?) ok im really not trying to "over-spiritualize" this but "for lack of vision the people perish" (somewhere in the bible (insert number here):(insert number here)...so for lack of vision the blog perishes..(or at least it has the past couple of weeks) but I'm BACK tonight...so enjoy it while you can!


I have loved the past couple of days in class. Graham Walsh and his wife, Sabrina have been teaching on deliverance, healing, and prophecy. sooo good. Yesterday Graham was teaching specifically on fears people have concerning deliverance and why many in the body are afraid to move in it (i.e. fear of getting slimed, fear of demons, fear of demon intimidating you, fear of demon jumping on you..etc. etc.). However, he has been discussing how necessary and urgent it is for the whole entire body of christ to begin exercising their authority in this...jesus commands us too. One of the main reasons that the body of Christ remains crippled is because we have no clue how to war or how to rebuke demons. And im not talking about screaming and yelling like a crazy charismatic (with all do respect i am a crazy charismatic) but taking our places as sons and daughters of God and as the bride of Christ and destroying the powers of darkness of our lives and over others lives.

so i thought i would leave you with a story...and i LOVE this story. it makes me want to scale a wall and dive off a mountain. Don't you love that feeling? well, hopefully it will make you feel that way and also give you confidence in who you are as God's chosen...(you will love God for this):

Graham had a dream one night. In the dream Satan approached him, looked him up and down, laughed and to intimidate him, said, "Graham Walsh, you don't scare me!!" Then Satan looked over Graham's left shoulder and saw Jesus. Next he looked over his right shoulder and saw the Holy Spirit. Then he looked on top of Graham's head and saw God the Father. Then Satan looked behind Graham, off in the distance, and saw a great multitude of Angels. To one side of the angels were the saints that had gone on before...on the opposite side were all the martyrs that had died for the name of Jesus. Behind them were all the different heavenly hosts and heavenly creatures. At the sight of this company Satan ran from Graham in fear.

I love thinking in these terms...that we really belong to a holy city. That we really are going to live with this beautiful company one day...and even now all of heaven is behind us..routing for us.. it's like a family. i can't wait to hug ruth. is that weird? not for any particular reason...first of all, i know it wont be weird to hug anyone in the next age.. we will get to hug all the bible characters!..they are real people! crazy...and also because it's ruth. i bet she will be nice. she was nice to naomi. i dont wanna hug deborah as much. she was a little bit fiercer. i mean i like her....but she was fierce( i know tha's Godly and Jesus is fierce too)..but im thinking when the saints come down with Jesus and He is killing people I'm gonna wanna hug someone more with that mothering on her ya know? yeah....
