...Teach me your paths...

Oh Lord, You are Beautiful, Your face is all I see...

"To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; Let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long."
~Psalm 25:1-5

God wants to lead this generation as his leaders of LOVE, HOPE (because He is our only hope)- PEACE, and in HONOR (we can start with honoring our father and mother.)
He wants us to Love unconditionally, that means sacrifice. To love wholeheartedly, and sufficiently. I want to see my unbelieving friends come to the Lord as their source. I want to see the mountains moved, the whole earth shake, and the peace that surpasses all understanding move through us. God, let us see nations healed, let the blind see, the deaf hear, the dead live again, and the broken made whole. Brothers and Sisters, we have The ONLY Power able to do all these things, and we walk around hopeless, and wonder why we cannot get closer to God. My family, We are called to live according to His word, to live by faith and not by sight, and to become revivalists in this world that is coming to an end. Our God has opened eyes to the things that are unseen, the side of the world that a lot of us ignore. We have been granted the Armor of God, and we need to use it! There is a battle with the devil, and we are the Lord's army, so we must fight! God tells us that with Him all things are possible, therefore we should not live in fear of discomfort, because when Satan recognizes you, it means you are going up against him, and he knows God is watching out for you, and protecting you. Do not let satan intimidate you! Suffering is to be expected when you are making the devil know that you aren't giving up! Therefore, i urge you brothers, and sisters, Love God with all you are, and do whatever it is that He calls you too. Pray that God will show you what it is that He needs you to do. Because, Life is not about us.

This weekend at Jesus Culture, I encountered God in a way i had never encountered Him before. I cried, I laughed, I jumped, I danced, and I prayed, A LOT. There was so much to pray for, and there still is! We live in a society that is OK with perversion, is OK with lying, and cheating, we seem to care about the next best material thing, versus the next best thing The Lord has for us. We need to pray for passion for this generation. The whole city of Reno can be saved. It is possible. I find myself looking at it sometimes, and thinking it's impossible because of all the sin we encounter and encourage here, but God is bigger than us! He is bigger than the industries that sell sex, drugs, and alcohol.
He is bigger than our deepest darkest secrets, and He sees the depths of our hearts. Nothing will hold Him back from having all of His children know Him.
I encourage you to have a secret place that only you and God can go, and get to know Him! You will start to encounter Him in a different way! He will sit with you, talk to you, and love on you!
It's time for us to know what God is doing, as He awakens His church, it will be our job to awaken our city! Jesus is the encounter we all need! and have been waiting for, and now that we have it, we must spread it! When the devil knows who you are, it means you are well equipped and are fighting for God! that is an amazing feeling! to know that you are right! Gosh, God is just so good!
The speaker this weekend made a point that totally hit me in the face. He said that in order to help the church we must teach them how to suffer. Wow! suffer? are we willing to do that?
Wherever we go, we must EXPECT revival. There is no way around it, God is here, NOW.

I love you all, family, and i am so blessed to have each one of you in my life. May God give you grace and peace, and love, to love others as He loves, and to see this world glorify Him.

Excited to live Forever and Ever by Jesus' blood,
Halie
