At Youth America, an amazing church camp in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the worship was amazing. An hour or more of fully surrendering to the King of the Universe through prayer and praise. It was breathtaking.
One of the songs they sang for worship was "Scandal Of Grace" by Hillsong United. The lyrics of the song say "Oh to be like You! I give ALL I have just to KNOW YOU! JESUS, there's no one beside You! Forever the HOPE in my heart!"
Oh to be like Jesus. To be like Him... that just takes my breath away. It's amazing. We are to be reflections of Him. We can never be perfect because our flesh won't let us. But Jesus is perfect, and being like Him means to give everything we have just for Him and His kingdom. It's Agape Love, to love like He loves. Agape means selfless love.
One of the best friends that I have ever had told me about Agape love. It seriously changed my life because I realized that Love is not just a feeling. It is a true action. Agape love is the love that Jesus Christ displayed for us. He loves us so much that He came to Earth in the form of man to die for our sins. Only sinless human blood could pay the price and pay our debt. No human is without sin.. so the God of all creation chose to put Himself in flesh(Son) and live a selfless life and suffer to death for our sake. He took the form of man to reach us. Now nothing can separate us from Him, except for our personal sin. Our personal sin can be forgiven now though.. by the blood of Jesus Christ poured our for us ALL.
See, the pressure is off us. No one is less because of the sins they committed. No sin is greater or less than the other. Jesus died to pay the debt of all. Jesus is the God of many second chances. "The scandal of grace, You died in my place so my soul will LIVE."
Jesus, thank You. You literally gave it all for us. Put Yourself in flesh to die for us. You were Your own father and died for us. I love You, Lord. Forgive us for all that we've done. I know, now, that You aren't mad at us. You are mad about us. You love us with such a deep and beautiful Love that I don't even think I have fully comprehended yet. It's so deep, Lord.. thank You. Reaching out to us, You died a humbling death. You came in flesh and left in flesh in the most humble way. Forgive us Jesus. Humble us. Use us in ways we never thought possible, so that the world will know Your name. They shall all know Your name one day, and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that You are God. We love You Jesus. Hallelujah to the King of kings, the Almighty God, Savior, Prince of Peace. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over ever individual reading in Jesus name. Help us remember You in every thing we do. You are not mad at us for what we did. In fact, You died for us. You reached out to hold our dirty hands. Clean us Jesus! I rebuke the devil away from every reader in Jesus name! WE ARE NOT BROKEN ANYMORE! WE ARE FREE! Show us what to do for You, Lord. Make us whole again, make us whole. I love You Jesus. We will fight to follow. We will fight for Love. Every household is restored in the name of Jesus Christ! Set in line everything that has fallen out of place in Jesus name! I send angels to protect and minister to every individual reading and their lives and families in Jesus name! Amen.
FIGHT TO FOLLOW!
FIGHT FOR LOVE!

The Promise Won't Fail
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Philippians 3:12-21 ESV
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
1 Peter 4:1-19 NKJV
2014 is Double Portion Year
7 = perfection
14 = double perfection
2014.. Double perfection. Double portion.
The devil is trying to ware out the saints. Let's rise.
JESUS! WE DESPERATELY NEE YOU! The lusts of our flesh are being tempted and we need freedom! Bring to pass what You said would come. I trust You Jesus. You are NEVER too late. The devil just tries to get us to give up right before the big reveal I things. You are faithful, God. And Your hold us. We can't jump out of Your hands though. It's our choice though. Do we really want to, or is it just fear? I REBUKE FEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! You brought the promised flood when you told Noah to build the ark. You aren't slack concerning Your Promise. I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST OVER EVERY READER IN JESUS NAME. I REBUKE THE DEVIL AWAY FROM US IN JESUS NAME! HALLELUJAH JESUS! YOU ARE HIGH ABOVE IT ALL! YOU ARE FAITHFUL! THE PROMISES ARE TRUE AND WILL MANIFEST SOON! In JESUS NAME AMEN!

Day By Day. Moment By Moment. We Are Undefeated!
2014 is here. My dad told me just the other day that he remembers when 2014 seemed forever away. But here we are.. January 10, 2014.
I believe that this year holds some seriously huge, amazing, humbling, successful events. There are 355 days left of 2014. But let each day come, and as soon as you wake up.. devote your day to Jesus. Don't worry about tomorrow. Think about right now. I heard someone say once that we really only have this moment. We learn from our past and look toward our future but the place we are in now is what's most important. Because the now was once the future, and the now will be the past. It's pretty amazing actually. Time.
I bet these past ten days have thrown some challenges at you. They sure have for me. But I've been lacking something... If I commit each day before Jesus right as they come, I know for sure that I will conquer. I started doing this after Youth America and over time I stopped. But when I did this and truly meant it... it made all the difference.
When you truly hunger after Jesus and you want to glorify Him in all you do.... you realize that this day isn't yours at all. Jesus puts us here with everything we need. As soon as you wake up, put your armor on and prepare for battle. We can't take off our helmets or put our shield down. We have to live in each moment as they come and focus on living and loving Jesus.
This literally helps. It's the key to consistency with Christ. Jesus won't force His goodness on us. We have to take it. So if you wake up each day praying, putting on your armor, being thankful, repenting, and devoting the day to Jesus you will succeed and keep your focus. There will be times of mess-ups and disappointments... we live in the flesh that is tempted all the time. But that can't stop us! We are called by Jesus and mediocre lifestyles are not what we are called too.
What happened last year or the years before don't define this year. Make this year count. Do it for the glory of Jesus and seek Him. You won't regret it.
The devil can't compete with joy because he's never had it!
You can literally accomplish your dreams. Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time, and do it for Jesus with all your heart. Dreams aren't fairy tales if you make them come true.
It's 2014. We are UNDEFEATED!
"COMMIT your works before the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established."
(Proverbs 16:3)
"TRUST in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.
DELIGHT yourself also in the LORD; and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
COMMIT your way unto the LORD; TRUST also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.
And He shall bring forth you righteousness as the LIGHT, and your judgement as the noonday.
REST in the LORD, and WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
For evildoers shall be cut off:but THOSE THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD, THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH."
(Psalm 37:3-9)
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you. Cleanse your hearts, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded."
(James 4:7-8)
Jesus, thank You. You hold us and You see everything from start to finish. You ARE the Alpha and Omega. You ARE the beginning and the end. Thank You JESUS! I plead the blood of JESUS over every reader! Show them Your Love in such a way that they would be changed and never turn back to the former ways. Jesus you make all things new. Use this year and us for Your glory. Help us see Your Light always in all that You do. I send angels to protect and minister unto all of us in Jesus name! Amen.

The Devils Flee At The Name Of JESUS CHRIST
I rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus Christ. Boom. There you go. The devils flee.
Look, the devil can't do much.. unless you let him. He has no power over you. He is afraid of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that the demons tremble at the name of JESUS. We have nothing to fear. The power of Jesus Christ is for us and we have the power to speak His name.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12 KJV)
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." (James 4:7-8 KJV)
"You believe that there is ONE GOD. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble." (James 2:19 NKJV)
"He who does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE." (1 John 4:8 NKJV)
"There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out all fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love." (1 John 4:18 KJV)
Jesus, thank You for everything. You give us power through Your name to cast down the enemy. I rebuke the devil away from us in the name of Jesus Christ! I rebuke the devil away from this blog and the people reading it in the name of JESUS CHRIST! We are called to freedom! I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader in the name of JESUS! Jesus, take this year, 2014, use it for Your glory! Help us find what we need in YOU JESUS! HALLELUJAH! I send you strongest angels to touch, protect, and minister to everyone reading and myself in the name of JESUS CHRIST! I rebuke fear in JESUS NAME! Thank You JESUS! YOU ARE LOVE! In JESUS name! AMEN!

Where Do We Go From Here
Its 2014,
Each and every one of us has a dream and a vision for this new year. No matter what the dream is, it has a road and a destination.
I used to be consumed with the "how" part of achieving a goal, or seeing a miracle come to pass. My dad's wise words always seem to sink in. He tells me not to focus so much on the "how" to things but to focus on Jesus. He is the way, so we don't have to worry as long as we take each step in faith and take great action. We don't have to worry "how" as long as we trust in Jesus to give us everything we need to get there. We will get there. One step at a time. We will, just don't give up.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
(John 14:6 KJV)
"Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."
(Proverbs 16:3 KJV)
Jesus, thank You for being the way. Just as long as we TRUST IN YOU and keep our eyes on You, You make a way for us. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! I ask that you would raise up a BOLDNESS in everyone reading in Jesus name. Show us all Your glory. You make a way where there seems to be no way! THANK YOU JESUS! Help us all realize that we can do anything and see mighty things if we take action in faith! Show us that none of Your promises are lies and You will bring to pass every one of them! We love You JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS! I send angels to protect and minister to every reader in Jesus name and I ask that You would show them peace as they TRUST IN YOU! In Jesus name, AMEN!!!!

1"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lordthy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee."
(Deuteronomy 28:1-10 KJV)
