That very day he went to church and a Gal from University of Minnesota Morris Minnesota was there and told Josh that she had a prophetic dream the night before.

Amazing healing Testimony

Below is an amazing testimony of a Student that was healed and delivered at the Movement Worship / Revival meeting on Oct 31, 2009!

-Hey Everybody!

So I have been asked to write out my testimony that happened last night, which I think is a blessing that I have been asked. Before I start I just want to say that God is so good you guys. Never forget his power and His wrath. When he sees his children in pain He inflicts his wrath upon the evil ones.

First, some background! As many know, for the last 3 years I have struggled with some confusing and intense medical problems. I had purple feet that were freezing cold all the time. I had have episodes that would put me into paralyzed states. It was excruciatingly painful and began to happen more and more often. I would literally have to learn to walk again after each episode. I had to use a walker, which was a struggle in itself as a high schooler. There is so much judgement out there! I was a medical mystery. The best doctors at the U of M and Mayo couldn't figure me out.

THe second half to my background is probably a little less known but it played a big part in everything that has happened. When I was about 7 or 8 years old I would see a little boy in my closet. I knew his hame and he would talk to me. He caused a lot of fear in my life. I couldn't sleep at night because of what he might do to me if I closed my eyes. I lived in constant fear. Eventually, as i got older I could fall asleep before I saw him. But his image and the fact of his presence never left. i hated darkness. I hated corners and empty rooms. I hated windows without curtains. I hated any environment where evil could see me or victimize me. Then while I was on my choir tour, this last spring break, in LA, we went to Universal Studios. My group decided to go through a haunted house. I didn't have any idea what I was about to allow myself to witness. The moment we entered the house, I saw him. He reached out to me. I screamed and immediately began to hyperventilate, but I wasn't allowed to leave. My fear overcame me and i couldn't stop. He was everywhere trying to get me. Finally, I got out but the rest of the day was terrible. I could feel his presence. I couldn't be alone. The crowds of tourists became my enemies and evildoers, in my mind. The fear I already had was increased by 10. Everything was frightening.

So, this year all of my friends have been encouraging me to attend the Movement. I was a little hesitant, but I decided to give it try. I went more than once and every time I had to leave early because I would struggle to breathe.

Last night, October 31st, was no different. I came with my friends and I tried to worship. Almost immediately my struggle to breath started. I ran out. Images of the boy and his friends began to crowd my mind. I was standing in a corner, where I thought I was out of sight, when all of a sudden Mr. Dunavan was in front of me along with my friends Chris and Reid. Mr. D asked me what was wrong. I could barely get any words out. So, the boys began to pray and read scripture while laying hands on me. Then, the tightness in my neck began to get worse. It was like there was someone behind me tightening a chain around my neck. There were chains around my ankles, knees, and wrists that began to get tighter too. Whatever had me was not ready to let me go. The boys kept praying and reading. Then, liquid began to come down my throat, from who knows where. I was literally drowning, at least that is what it felt like. I thought I was going to die. I thought that this was going to be it. But, out of all of this I heard Mr. D say, " Be free, you are set free!"

Almost instantly, the chains were let go. A HUGE rush of relief washed over me. I was shaken and empty, but It was a glorious feeling. All of these chains I never knew were present fell off of my limbs. And the pain, especially in my legs was instantly gone!!!!

Joy overcame me and all i could do was laugh through my tears. I looked down at my legs and I knew that God had given me new legs. I began to dance, which I would never have been able to do before this. God had healed me!!! I laughed and began to sing the praises of my Abba!!! Later that night I walked around for 2 hours, which would have been impossible!! And this morning while I was at church me feet didn't turn purple!!

You guys, there is so much more to this story that I want to proclaim, but there is no POSSIBLE way to say it through a note on Facebook. So please, ask me!! Call me, text me. Come up to me. What ever our relationship is, i want to talk to you. My creator has anointed me and it is my duty to proclaim his good works. HE IS GOOD!!

Please tag people and let this story spread. I don't care if I know them or not. I feel that God wants to bless people and reach people through my story. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your encouragement and your consistency.

Be still and know that he is GOD!!! He is faithful to the end.

Generation Revival Newsletter and Testimonials

Generation Revival Newsletter Update
God has been doing some amazing things at Generation Revival. The hunger and passion for Jesus that each young adult brings into the room each Friday night has been drawing an outpouring of the manifest Presence and Power of the God's blessed Holy Spirit. It is amazing too see everyone's face when the presence of God begins to pour out at Generation Revival meetings. Many are smiling from ear to ear with awe and joy, some just fall on the ground weeping in the presence of God.

Amazing Testimonies of what God has been doing------------

Gangster gets touched by the power of God and then saved
One young adult in particular came who had a past with running with gangsters. While in the meeting a couple of Fridays ago, the presence of God came rushing in and he turned to his friend that brought him to the meeting and said, "I have to leave this room." His friend asked, "Why?" And he responded, "Because I feel like I am going to cry." His friend responded, "This is the perfect place to cry, just let God touch you." The ex. gangster broke down weeping on the floor as the power of God rushed in the room. This young man soon after surrendered his life to Christ and is attending one of our discipleship groups. Praise God! Many broken young people come to our meeting who would usually not be found dead in church. But they are told that the presence and power of God shows up in our meetings and they know that they are welcome to come just as they are broken, hurting and it is ok if they don't know much about God when they come. We just want them to come with an expectation that God will meet them where ever they are at.

Young adult blasted by the Power of God
Just last Tuesday at a young adult men's discipleship group we where praying. As we were praying a young man got hit by the power of the Holy Spirit and went flying across the room and almost knocked over a sofa. I asked him what was going on and he said. " I feel amazing!" as he lifted up his hand worshiping God. These kids have no exposure to the charismatic movement. They have no clue what it means to be "Slain in the Spirit." But like Paul on his way to Damascus, God decided to blast this young man who has had a very hard life of drugs and other stuff - with the presence and the power of His Love.... If you have a problem with this, take it up with God, He was the one that touched this young man....

Extravagant worship of Jesus by Higschoolers
Just last week after our 7:00 - 9:00 meeting the passion for worshiping God broke out in the room as a group of highschoolers where leading worship and prayer spontaneously without any prior plans of doing so. They worshiped non stop as they fell more in Love with Jesus with each new spontaneous song they sang. Honestly, It is a great joy to see a generation being filled with the Holy Spirit late on a Friday Night instead of seeing them go and get drunk, have sex and waste their lives away. The bible says in Psalms 16 that, "In God's presence is the Fullness of Joy and at His right hand are ever increasing pleasures!" I know God burns with a zealous passion to see our generation spending their lives at the feet of Jesus rather than waisting their lives away at the party scene! I love watching young people fall more in love with Jesus, He is soooo worth all their worship and adoration!

Angel visits young gal and prevents her from suicide
There is a young gal who started coming to Generation Revival some months ago. When she first came all she would do is stare at the ground with her hood over her head, she could never look me in the eye. Week by week as God continued to work in her life, this young gal started to take her hood off of her head a look at me in the eye. I saw a dramatic transformation in her life, I knew God did something special for her, she started smiling and having a spark in her eye. So one day I asked her what happened, I asked her, "What has made you to want to know Jesus?" She then told me her background of a broken family, broken heart and drug abuse starting from her younger years. She then told me that one day she just made up her mind that she had enough of the pain of life and was going to commit suicide. That same day at her work a person came in and talked to her and read her mail (told her what she was going through), then spoke life and hope into her, and then left. The broken young gal went outside directly after this person had left to thank them and the person vanished and was nowhere to be seen!.... She knew God had sent her an angel and she decided not to kill herself and from that day on her life began to change as she found new hope in Jesus! Praise God, He is moving in these young people!

Teaching on prayer for revival in our generation

It is evident that God is doing an amazing work in this generation. He is alive and He does have a plan to heal the brokenhearted and to see people's lives fully restored by the love and the blood of the cross of Jesus Christ. These are not the days to play games with church and have "bible clubs." Our generation needs the real power and the love of God like Jesus and the apostles preached and lived and gave away to their generation (1 cor 2:4-5). We need to come to the realization that our church programs are failing to reach this generation. Broken youth come into church bound and leave bound. They come in addicted and leave addicted. They come in dead and leave dead, they come in hopeless and leave hopeless..... Beloved, this is not right!, we are doing something seriously wrong here! Church should be the most amazing place to go, it should be like David (the king who had everything he ever wanted) exclaimed in the Psalms 27:4 "One Thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple!" Honestly, Lukwarm Christianity only gets us "One Thing" BORED! This faith is "all or nothing", we need to change our ambitions passions people of God, lets go after God with all our heart, mind, body, soul and strength!

The thing that burns me up inside more than anything is broken kids who go to churches looking for help, but can't find any help, many times they even get kicked out! I am not here to point fingers at any church, rather I love the church! But beloved it is time to change! It is time to FAST AND PRAY AND SEEK GOD'S FACE! It is time to stop playing church and start getting serious about our walk with God! We desperately need the Living God to show up and rescue these young people and the only thing holding God back is us the "body of Christ." Wake up dead sleepy church! Wake Up! God is not mad at you, He is very gracious, but it is time to wake up and arise and shine! (Isa 60)

At Generation Revival, We work with some of the most broken kids one could ever meet. Kids that cut themselves (we have even had kids come up for prayer that have dry blood on their arms from cutting earilier in the day), Kids that are addicted to hard drugs, who have been raped, molested and have had abortions at young ages (some even at age 13). This list goes on and on, they are in a spiritual war and they do not even know it, they are getting eaten alive by the devil and don't even know who the enemy is that is desroying thier lives.. THEY NEED THE REAL GOSPEL OF POWER THAT JESUS AND THE EARLY CHURCH PREACHED - THEY NEED AN ALIVE GOSPEL LIKE THE ONE WE READ ABOUT IN OUR BIBLES. They do not need excuses and doctrines on why God does not move today (because of our traditions, pride, complacency, control and unbelief). Instead, they need leaders and members of the body of Christ to get on our faces and seek God until the power and anointing of God falls on the church to break the yolk of bondage that this generation is in! We need Moses's to arise that will point to the cross of Jesus and say in partnership with God, " DEVIL, LET MY PEOPLE GO!"


GOD IS VERY REAL AND REVIVAL IS NOT A FAIRY TALE (RESERVED FOR TEXT BOOKS AND STORIES ONLY), REVIVAL IS A REALITY THAT WE CAN WALK IN IF WE SEEK GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, MIND, BODY, SOUL AND STRENGTH! AFTER ALL, JESUS DID NOT DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US TO BE POWERLESS CHRISTIANS THAT GET OUR BUTS KICKED BY THE DEVIL. RATHER HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT THE DEVIL CAN BE CRUSHED UNDER OUR GENERATIONS FEET AND WE CAN BE SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES! SO WE CAN BE FREE!!!! FREE TO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH WITH CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART! FREE TO WORSHIP OUR BLESSED CREATOR, REDEEMER AND HEALER AND RESTORER!

This is why this week Friday (Jan 23) young adults from all over will be joining us and will be fasting all day and then at night will be coming together for a young adult all night "Harp and Bowl Style" prayer meeting to press into God for a break through for our wounded generation. There will be two main prayer focuses for our meeting:

1). We are praying for a fresh first love fire for Jesus. (personal revival)
2). We are praying for a breakthrough of an abiding revival in our broken generation (corporate revival)

The prayer meeting will start directly after our 7:00pm - 9:00pm meeting and will go until 2:00 am. We will be having a full harp and bowl worship team, we will be corporately pressing in with all of our hearts. If you are interested in coming please contact us at: Info@GenerationRevival.com . Or just show up! Click Here for the address


In Difficult times like now The bible calls us to 2 Chron 7:14

1). Humble ourselves (the biblical way of doing this is fasting)
2). Seek God's face
3). Forsake our wicked ways (repentance)
4. AND PRAY!

God promises that He will hear from heaven and HEAL AND RESTORE OUR LAND!

Also in perilous times God calls us to Joel 2:12-14

"Even now," declares the LORD,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning."

13 Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
14 Who knows? He may turn and have pity
and leave behind a blessing—

Here are some scriptures on all night prayer:

Psalms 63:6 "When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches."
Isaiah 26:8, 9 "With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early ..."
Luke 6:12 "... and continued all night in prayer to God."

......

Beloved, yes these are hard times for our generation, but the dark times are the very best times to be serving and shining for God. These are the most amazing times because it is when men and women of God arise and stand as champions for the living God to destroy the works of the devil. Overall, God is not angry at us, but rather He beckons us to a higher place with Him. He is calling us to get rid of doing business as usual in the church and to get back to making His house a House of Prayer (Mark 11:17). It is impossible to have a move of God without prayer and it is impossible to accelerate in our walk with God without intimacy with God. So lets press in together this Friday and to come in alignment with God so we can be used to revolutionize our world for Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!

Yours In sparking a first Love Fire in the heart of the church that revives our Generation,

Single But Not Alone. Enjoy Being Single!

He is a message about this importance of being single for a season. This revelation helps us to know that it is not a bad thing to be single for a time in our life, instead being single is an important time when we develop our relationship with God! It is important that we do not rush into relationships until we are in right relationship with God :-)

Restoration - Inner Healing

Here is an amazing Video on a song called "Restoration" by Clay Edwards of Ihop, KC. The Bible says that God is a Good Shepherd and He is the Only one that can restore and heal our soul (Psalms 23). If you are going through a hard time or have a lot of pain from your past, seek and trust God for inner healing and restoration. God is the one who made your soul and He is the only one that knows how to restore your soul!

Trust Him with your broken heart, He is a gentle heart surgeon, He is so compassionate, He loves you and can heal and restore your life so you don't have to go through this hell anymore. God can give you Beauty for ashes, Joy that heals Pain (Isa 61), He cares for you and loves you, trust Him. Give your broken heart and life to Him, He is the answer and the freedom you are looking for. Jesus is God and can heal any mess or problem regardless of how severe it is.

Pure and Undefiled...

I just have to share what God is burning in me because God's word says what ever God whispers in my ear, I am to: SHOUT IT TO THE ROOFTOOPS (Mat 10:27)..... Modern translation of that verse: "POST IT ON FACEBOOK", haha ;-) I hope it blesses you all some-how:

Pure and Undefiled...

Raw Heaven - Raw God.. Walking with God.... With man and this world out of the picture, out of the equation... The raw purity of Christ the way He demonstrated faith and relationship with God to us in the scriptures and the way the apostles walked in the same measure of it without compromising to the system and corruption of this world...

The purity Isaiah encountered in Isaiah 6 - Only Here on earth by the Fire that Jesus gives us freely - if and only if we really desire pure and undefiled religion and are willing to settle for nothing less.

Heaven on earth all around us as we pursue God, even though darkness and godlessness increases in the land each and every moment.

Being strangers to this world and citizens of another age, of a greater kingdom of eternity and of Truth.

Being white as snow even though we are in a wicked and perverted generation that hates God and His Purity.

Being completely free in Christ, walking in the freedom and Holy Fire that Jesus walked in while on earth.

Living lives that please the father with heaven wide open above us as God uses us as His vessels of Honor to manifest heaven to earth establishing His eternal Kingdom through us for His glory without any desire within us for 'wicked selfish gain.'

Being only concerned with what God thinks, what God is saying rather than: the winds, waves, doctrines, divisions, perversions and confusion of man.

Being found steadfast in His Love and mercy, walking in Divine Romance, burning with the greatest commandment to Love Him First and above all else in this world. Everything else completely loosing it's passion and stronghold on our hearts, till only desire for Him remains within us.

Being pure and as innocent as a child, having no guile in our heart, being filled with exuberant love, joy and forgiveness regardless of circumstances or lives happenings

Burning for the living God, not in words only, but in reality, in actions, walking in His grace, in His spirit and shining fervently bright with His love.

Knowing Him. Knowing His heart. Seeking Him, and Him creating in us 'His heart'.

The ax laying at the root of the tree, cutting our heart free of anything that does not please Him and is not of His heavenly incorruptible Kingdom.

Falling at His feet and giving Him our whole heart to Him in surrender - holding nothing back for ourselves, even though it makes us vulnerable.

Humbly becoming the clay and allowing Him to be the Potter. Trusting that He is the Master Artist and will re-form us until we fearfully and wonderfully reflect His glorious incorruptible, eternal - pure and undefiled beauty.

Grace and Peace to you all

Renouncing All Drug Parables - Going After Pure Undefiled Glory

Background
Just a little background for those leaders and pursuers of revival who may read this that do not know what is going on. There is a new fad or 'wind of doctrine' blowing through the church that is using drug terms to relate to God and the Holy Spirit. Terms like: "Toking the Ghost, “Injecting Jesus in the main vein”, “Drink the godka” , "Holy Heroine", "Jesus was a crack baby", "Jesus is the master drug lord", "God's house is a holy drug house" etc... People in this movement will do things like fake like they are hitting a joint with their fingers, some will even pass around plastic 'lamb' figures in a circle similar to passing a joint in a party and "toke the ghost" , then act like they are getting high on God. Seems stupid, but a lot of people are falling for it, particularly those who are hungry for God but do not have the scriptural discernment to notice this is demonic and not of God.

Correction Is Not Always Religious
I just want to start by saying not everyone who brings correction is a religious Pharisee. If we can not receive correction and in defense call everyone a "Pharisee" who tries to give us godly council from God's Word in love, we are in danger of being in pride and huge error. We need to remain humble and keep our hearts soft and our ears open to the Word of God and to those whom God has given to us as true teachers. Sure we can heap up false teachers all we want, to tickle our ears and agree with everything we do and never correct us with the pure Word of God, but REAL SPIRITUAL TEACHERS WILL GIVE US THE TRUTH AND THEY WILL DISCIPLINE US IF WE NEED IT FOR OUR BENEFIT. I love radical Christianity, but I believe radical Christianity needs to be equally matched with radical humility and the ability to honor and to be corrected by spiritual fathers and other trusted leaders in the body of Christ.

Let’s make this clear - rebellion and pride and dishonor - are of satan and those who walk in these will fall from glory just like the devil did in the very beginning, unless they repent. But submission and humility and honor are of God and will safely keep us under the shadow and in the glory of the Most High (no pun intended). God gives us grace for a time to repent, for God is very, very merciful, so if anyone reading this note has any of these in their heart, please repent and do a 180 and God WILL restore you completely. (I speak from having to do this.... yes I admit I have been in error and have had to humble myself and be corrected by the Father many times, but He is amazingly merciful.)

Please note: the following is a hypothetical example. What if there was a group that had a revelation from a mystic angel, that their church was to drink cool-aid that had poising in it and commit suicide and go home and be with Jesus? And what if spiritual fathers and outside leaders in the body of Christ rose up and said, "This is blasphemy and not of God and does not line up with the Word of God?" What if the church that received the cool-aid revelation from the angel said, "You all are a bunch of religious Pharisees?" I guess we would have a huge problem on our hands. Pride does come before the fall.

Let’s make this very clear, teachers and leaders in the body of Christ who correct error with scripture are not always "religious Pharisees" trying to control us and quench the Spirit of God. Many of them are loving fathers that want to see us be the best we can be in Christ and be kept from the deception of the devil and to learn from the wisdom and grace God has given them over the many years they have served the Lord.

I Am Not a Pharisee
Just so all of you know who do not know me; I love the glory of God and the ecstasy of the manifest presence of the living God. I can't deny it. I love His presence and living in Him and walking with Him more than anything else this life has to offer. Just mentioning it makes my heart burn with passion and my heart almost jumps right out of my chest! I assure you I am not a religious stiff that goes around separating people from God's presence with religious 'doctrine' that puffs up the mind, quenches and controls the Spirit and separates people’s hearts from Him. Rather my passion is to reconcile people back to God's glory with pure doctrine, which I am persuaded only comes from teaching that is deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures and not from a new "mystical" doctrine birthed by a movement, man, or demon (fallen angel).

In writing this note I don't want to just remove the error and the approach that some are using with a open sincere heart to try to connect with our God who really IS fun and IS fascinating and in His presence there IS The fullness of joy and ever increasing pleasures -Psalm 16:11 (holy ecstasy). But I want to help us "Come up here" where God is, on His terms—instead of trying to pull God down into the fallen nature and sinful deeds of Man. We have biblical permission to walk in God's glory and enjoy the river of God's pleasure and presence (Psalm 36:8). I do not want to take away encountering the living God from anyone, but I believe "the Bible has to be our plumb line and standard for walking in the supernatural and encountering the Glory." If it is not, then where do we draw the line, were will we stop? Remember Heb 4:12 "For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Please read the following, I believe the Lord put this wisdom on my heart, I write this because I love God and I love His Church - I love you!

Encountering and Walking in the Manifest Presence of God
Beloved, in my quest and passion to walk with the living God, to be one with Him as Jesus prayed for us the church before His death, to know him like Adam did in the garden before the fall of man - I have found that there are no short cuts to the glory. OPENING UP A BIBLE AND SNORTING THE CRACK OF IT 24/7 SAYING I AM DOING "CHRIST CRACK" OR OTHER DRUG RELATED TALK, DOES NOT GET US ANY CLOSER TO GOD. Opening up my Bible reading IT and OBEYING IT FULLY - taking up my cross dying always to sin and the flesh and the lusts of the world, that the life of Christ may manifest in my life here on earth (1 Cor 4:11). Now that is what empowers me to walk in the Glory of God 24/7. God wants us to be conformed into His image, on His terms, in his holy Word, in reverence of His holy Name. He will not be defiled by the fallen nature of this world or man (I.e. the drug culture). He is forever holy and will never be defiled and will never lower himself to be corrupted by the fallen demonic practices of man.

God's Name is to be Honored
Beloved, around God's throne they cry HOLY nine times and then give honor and glory and reverence to God and then repeat for all of eternity! No where do I read in my Bible that those around the throne are smoking a Holy Hookah (a pipe that many people can smoke at the same time) this is BLASPHEMY!! – Ha-ha at the risk of me sounding like a Pharisee from Jesus' day, ripping my robes (just picture the Jew in The Passion of the Christ movie). But really, blasphemy is still real and we can grieve and blaspheme God today. Listen, if that is what the Word of God says in revelation, then please put the hookah in my mouth and I will puff away! But it does not! And God is holy and His name is to be revered and honored and God inhabits the pure praises of His people that are offered up to Him in holy honor and godly reverence. God is undefiled. Let’s make this very clear Baby Jesus is not a crack baby! Period, it is not even a joke. He is the risen Lamb of God who is to be honored forever and ever Amen! (Thank your Jesus for your precious blood, thank you, thank you, thank you!)

Honoring and Revering God - Ushers in His Glory.
I remember when I first encountered the manifest presence of God years ago in prayer. I was at a Christian get-together where they were watching a movie that I just did not want to watch because it had sinful content that was not pure, so I left the room. Call me a religious dweeb, but the Bible says the pure in heart will see God and I want to see him because He is fascinatingly beautiful! That night, all I wanted was Jesus and that which is pure and undefiled. Later that night everyone else left the party and it was getting very late. My friend and I were so hungry for God and we both had to be up for important college exams the next day in like 5 hours from that time, but we were just soooooo hungry to pray and to seek God's face. So we ended up praying and praying and praying and praying when all-of-a-sudden the manifest tangible glory of God came upon me. I felt like Stephen in acts 6. I felt like my face was physically shining, I could literally feel it. It was tangible glory and I was overwhelmed. I did not even ask for this, but God so kindly rewarded the holy hunger with His manifest presence which was total ecstasy (not to be confused with satan's counterfeit drug that carries that name).

Beloved in this encounter all I could do was say HOLY!!!!!!!!!! HOLY!!!!!!!!!! HOLY!!!!!!!! HOLY!!!!!!!!!! over and over as I laid my head on the table bowing to God in reverence and honor. To this day I encounter this manifest presence of God when I pray and I am learning to walk and abide in it 24/7, ahhhhhhhhh there is nothing sweeter in the whole wide world. Beloved, I share that story with you to let you know that the most powerful encounters we can have with the Lord is when we worship Him as they do in Heaven giving him glory, honor and praise, declaring His holiness and living in it by the grace in which He supplies. God is looking for worshipers that will worship the father in purity, in spirit and in truth. The truth is He is undefiled and forever holy and we as the "temples of the Holy Spirit" learn day by day to worship God on His terms. As we do this, then the glory of God will dwell in our midst and we will go from glory to glory! Hallelujah!!!

Ouija Boards Are A Medium To Satan - So Are Drugs And Drug Parables!
Think about it, Ouija boards are used as a medium that people use to connect to the demonic realm. Most people have enough discernment in them to realize that Ouija boards are demonic and are a gateway satanic activity. But not many see that drugs are equally as demonic. Drugs are a form of witchcraft that does open huge doors into the demonic realm. So should we put a big red cross on a Ouija board and conjure up the Holy Spirit? Never! That would be defilement and demonic right? So then, why on earth is it becoming popular in many prayer and glory groups in Minnesota and other places to use drug parables as a medium to connect with the Holy Spirit? The Bible says in 2 Co 6:17: "Therefore come out from among them and be separated, says the Lord, and do not touch the unclean thing. And I will receive you." And in James 4:4 "Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?

Peter's Shadow Healing the Sick in the Book of Acts
If we are lovers of the glory and the presence of God, God has given us all the Holy Scriptures we ever need, telling us how to encounter and walk and abide in God’s manifest presence. I would like to say that we do not need to add these defiled, unholy, drug parables; God has already sent us His Word we just need to obey Him! We need to keep the main thing the main thing! Peter's shadow in the book of Acts healed the sick because he was soooo filled with the glory of God; he was dead to sin and alive to God. Peter became a partaker of the divine nature just like he preaches to the churches of all ages in 2nd Peter chapter 1 and his body was used as a vessel to manifest heaven to earth. Many people were touched and restored by the presence of God that rested on Peter, not because he smoked "Jehovauanna" or "shot Holy Heroine", rather, because he fully laid down his life and as a lover of God, Peter did everything Jesus taught him to do. It was no longer Peter who lived but it was Christ who lived in Him on Him and through Him (Gal 2:20). Peter walked with God, similar to the way Jesus walked with God while on earth.

Beloved, let’s cling to the truth in the scriptures and grow in our first love fire for God instead of being tossed here and there by every wind and wave of doctrine that blows through the church. Sure we can jump on every new fad and wind and wave of doctrine that comes through the body of Christ using it as “shortcut” to the glory, but I can assure you these winds and waves will fail. Lets not take the advice of corrupted man, lets follow the way of the Master and lay our lives down at His feet in pure worship! Jesus has clearly given us the way in this scripture: Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” (Mark 16:24)

Renouncing All Drug Parables - Go After Pure Undefiled Glory
I have many precious brothers and sisters in the Lord who use these drug parables. I think it is pretty obvious that the error of these has been exposed and those who spread these teachings can not back it up with ANY pure evidence from the Word of God that it glorifies God. I encourage all of you to prayerfully and scripturally examine this movement and consider RENOUNCING and completely stopping everything you are doing to connect to the Holy Spirit that contradicts scripture.

Beloved, I don't believe that this should even need to cause division in the body of Christ (why should we give the enemy this foothold?). Let’s abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good (Rom 12:9). Drugs and drug talk is evil. Let’s keep the main thing the main thing! Love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, body soul and strength - love our neighbor as ourselves and die daily to the works of darkness and the lusts of the flesh. Let’s let the Holy Spirit form Christ in our hearts through abiding in His holy Word in intimacy, until we walk in oneness with the Father and pull down heaven on earth while destroying the works of the devil everywhere we GO!

Oh How He Loves Us!

Check out this video

True Beauty is found in Christ, not in Hollywood

As you can see in the video above, we have a generation that has been brain-washed by Hollywood and various forms of media into a false beauty that ruins lives and breaks the hearts of many men and women.

True, Inward Beauty Lasts Forever!
I am not saying that we should be stupid and not shower or take care of our appearance in rebellion to Hollywood and the to world we live in. All in all, it is a good thing to keep yourself decent... Please! Make sure you brush your teeth, don't make others suffer because of your religious convictions, haha! But for real, what I am saying is that we should be more concerned about inside beauty, more than slaving for shallow outside beauty. Because from the least to the greatest of us all, we will all grow old and our outward beauty will fade like a flower which is here and blooming one day and is fading and gone the next day. Yes, we all will become wrinkly like a sun-dried raisin in due time. However, INWARD BEAUTY LASTS FOREVER!!!! Shouldn't we then focus on what lasts forever?

The Worlds Beauty is Fake and Misleading!
After all, the standard of beauty that Hollywood has set is FAKE as seen in the video above! Wow, our generation has bought into a huge Lie, can you see it now? Why should we live for a false beauty that does not satisfy and will fade so quickly? Why should we live our lives and give our precious hearts to a deceiving illusion that will quickly fade and is not true? After all the bible tells us to guard our heart (inner being) with everything we've got, because our heart contains the wells of our life, the very essence of our being. (Prov 4:23).

Supermodels are Miserable
If you talk to almost any 'supermodel' (like I have) heart to heart, you will find out real quick that they hate themselves and are miserable. What! The very people who the world looks up to, worships and idolizes are MISERABLE and HATE THEMSELVES?

Don't believe me? Look at Britney Spears She has been well known over the last 10 years as a Hollywood star that millions, if not a billion, of people look up to for a standard of beauty and fame. Huum..... It doesn't seem like that is making her very happy considering she was at one time admitted to a mental hospital, shaved her head bald as she was being driven "crazy" just like she sang in one of her hit songs. ( Jesus, have mercy on Britney and show her what true love and beauty is...)

Hey You! here is a tip, before you idolize someone, make sure they are worthy of your admiration. Find out what they are like off the camera and without all that make-up and airbrushing, find out if they are really happy or not. I believe that there is only One who is worthy of our attention and fascination and worship that is 'The Man' Jesus Christ!

A Man of Incredible Eternal Beauty
CHECK THIS OUT: Jesus was by far the most beautiful person to ever walk to face of the planet earth, but the scripture says that outwardly he was unattractive! (Isa 53:2). Wow! But the Beautiful life this man lived is indescribably fascinating! Oh, how He stepped down from His throne in heaven and came into the world as a servant although He is the King of Kings! Oh, how He had compassion on the sick, forgave and restored the lives of prostitutes and many other wretched, broken sinners. Oh, The purity in this Man, The Humility of this Man, the Gentleness and Kindness of this Man, the Selflessness of this Man, the divine romance of this Man. The fiery love of this Man who, although He is God, came down from heaven to die for us that we would not have to be separated from Him and His love for all of eternity. NOW THIS IS TRUE BEAUTY AND SOMEONE WHO IS WORTHY OF FASCINATION, ADORATION AND WORSHIP! This is someone we can live for and trust our precious heart with. This is someone who I want to look like, talk like, act like, be just like!

Summary
Brothers and sisters, lets make the bible be the place we go to find out what true beauty really is! Lets Study and 'gaze upon' the inward beauty of Christ and let His life and words be what we look to as our 'MODEL' of what we want to look like. Lets worship Jesus Christ who is worthy of our hearts, admiration and fascination, He is a 'Good Shepard' and the one who cares for our heart and restores our broken soul and gives us pure everlasting beauty and love that deeply and eternally satisfies.

Lets worship a worthy King who will be alive forever rather than the next Hollywood 'Nut Job' who will be the next media super-star used by the devil to lead a generation away into a shallow lie of fake love and false beauty that is destroying the hearts and self worth of those in our generation. After all, what we behold (constantly look at and adore, worship) we WILL become (2 Cor 3:18). Do you want to make Jesus your hero/model and have an eternal beauty manifest in your life. Or do you want to give yourself to a Hollywood fantasy that will rip out your heart and make you chase a lie that can never satisfy your soul and that will put you into bondage and make you like a hyper dog chasing it's tail as the devil laughs at you because he knows you bought into his lie and you 'ain't never gonna get' what you are frantically making yourself dizzy chasing after?

Prayers for the revelation of God's True Beauty
God awaken our Generation! and shatter the illusions that we have bought into that separates us from truth and from walking with you. Revive us to be the way you originally created us to be as it was in the Garden of Eden before Sin entered into the world. Lord, Do this by drawing us into a real, intimate relationship with your Son Jesus Christ. Fascinate our hearts, not with religion, but with reality and a day by day encounter with the living God like it was in the garden! Win the hearts of this generation back to you. Let us see that you are all together lovely, beautiful and worthy of the greatest possession man has while on this earth, which is Our Hearts.

God Let us not be deceived, but let us pursue a love and a beauty that is real, eternal and is attainable, a beauty that every human on the planet can be satisfied with through intimacy with your Son JESUS CHRIST. God I pray that you would be the potter and I would be the clay and just like you fashioned man out of the dust in the beginning of creation, God would you now fashion our inner being to be beautiful like Christ's. God give me a true heart like Yours, a Love like Yours a peace like Yours, a purity like Yours. Daddy (God) make me just like You. God would you get our eyes off of Hollywood and the deception of the world and get our eyes onto true Holiness - Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith! Oh God that you would take the blinders off of the eyes of this generation and awaken Your true love and beauty in their hearts. In Jesus name, Amen!

Please add a prayer to the comments of this post to ask God to deliver this generation from the lie of false beauty and issues pertaining to this topic. After all, it is prayer that ushers in revival and opens up the heavens for a generation to be free!

The War on this Generation

This video gives stats of the hell and pain this generation is going through. It should stir a passion in us to want to do something about it! Jesus was sent into the world to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and then Jesus sent us Christians into the world to do the same (John 17:18, Mark 16:15-20)

Lets fervently pray for a great awakening upon our Generation, Lets pray for God to come and Heal the Brokenhearted and restore us back to perfect relationship with Him.

Another Flyleaf Interview

Long Akiane interview

This interview is amazing. Akiane tells her story about her paintings and supernatural encounters with God. In one encounter at 5 years old God took her to heaven physically and her parents called the police to report her as missing, they had hundreds of police men and FBI frantically looking for her along with the whole city looking for her for 6 hours.

Then God transported her back and she came walking in the hall of her house and her mother was freaked out and asked her where she was, Akiane said, "I was just in heaven mom." Akiane was able to tell her family specific details of exactly what they where doing while she was in heaven because God showed her exact details of the towns search efforts while she was in heaven!

This stuff is real!!!!
Akiane says that it is trips to heaven that inspire her artwork. Her supernatural miraculous painting abilities back up her encounters. Not to mention the biblical accuracy of what she sees in her visions/encounters.

Akiane gives all the glory to Jesus and paints with a desire to draw people to Jesus. Akiane: “I want my art to draw people’s attention to God and I want my poetry to keep their attention on God.”

Is this hard for you to believe?
Here is a scripture to help unbelief:

Isa 8:18
"Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me. We are signs and Wonders in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion."

Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever (Heb 13:8)! Amazing stuff!!!
