Called to Intercede

So on Sunday a lady told me that I'm an intercessor and I found out today what that means. But before that, I'll just say what's happened this past week. Most of the students were sick with the cold, flu, and swine flu so most of the school days last week were cancelled. But then we got to have school by Kris Valloton on Friday. That was amazing. He had so much to speak and there was so much to take in. I feel so blessed at the privilege I had to have him speak into my life! It was so good! Then later that day, we got to hear him again at a church and the message was amazing again. He revealed an interesting fact to me, what you envision, you become. Meaning that if I have a fear of becoming just like "so and so" who really hurt me or I tell myself that I won't become that, if I focus on that, I do end up becoming that. For instance, like child molesters were once molested as children themselves (in most cases). Or like how a son is emotionally abused by his father and he vows never to be like his dad but then since he focuses on that "fear" or "vow" of not becoming like his dad, he becomes like his dad later on because he "idolized" the fear/vow thingy and became something he swore he wasn't going to become. So we need to stop focusing on our fears. This rings true for me. I remember at Honor Academy I kept praying to God that I wouldn't lose sight of Him and that I wouldn't fall away and I had that fear. And since I held on to that fear and focused on it instead of God, I lost sight of God and rebelled against Him for a year (the time I was in Colorado). Let go of your fears. Give them to God and then forget about them because fear hinders our faith. I've also been reading "When Heaven Invades Earth" by Bill Johnson (which I suggest you should all read as well). He says in there how our unbelief and doubt "pushes" the supernatural away. If we have doubt that God can't heal someone, then He probably won't. It takes faith to access the Kingdom of God and to call it down for miracles. If you have any unbelief or doubt, get rid of it and ask God for more faith! Also another thing that Kris mentioned: If you believe you are a sinner, you will remain a sinner. But if you believe that you have been redeemed, then you are redeemed. Also, if you put a pauper in a palace, he'll make a prison. If you put a prince in a prison, he'll make it a palace. Which will you be (as a Christian)?

So moving on to today. We had worship and it was a little difficult for me for some odd reason. I must have been tired (we have worship everyday to start out the school day at 10:15-11:15am). After that I just soaked up everything that the teachers had to say. It was after school that things started to get interesting. One of the guys in my class, Nathan, invited anyone to have prophetic prayer after school for a half hour. It was just three of us sadly. What we did was for the first 5 minutes, we invited the Holy Spirit to speak to us about His heart and what He wants us to pray for. After entering into His Presence, we began to pray passionately for all kinds of things. Most of the things were focused on the students in my class and also to the surrounding area (for revival). I had so many passionate, emotional things spoken through me and I had no idea where this came from. I remember getting passionate towards: Deep revelation, unity/community, against the spirit of suicide (it's big in this area), speaking destiny into people, speaking life, and declaring all kinds of other things. It was so awesome to see how God used me to be a warrior (and boy did I feel like one!). Nathan prayed over me in the end and said that I'm powerful. He also imparted to me all that was imparted to him (which is exactly what I wanted and God answered my prayer! The more I receive, the better! I can't get enough of the things of God!). God has been drastically accelerating more of the prophetic in me and it's so awesome! I love God! He is so good and His love for me overwhelms me more and more every day! I love growing closer and closer to the ultimate Lover!

Random notes: I learned how to french braid my hair and practiced it in class for the first time today and it worked! Yay for French braiding your hair! Also, I've had so many people pour into me and my piano playing. I'm finally learning how to read sheet music and am growing fast in musical talent (which makes me very happy-most of you remember that I always wanted to learn how to play piano and that dream is finally being realized now! Yay!). I got to hang out at the guys' house for a while as I waited for a ride (long story) after school and got to play Halo 3. That made my day for sure! I love my classmates! They are all so flipping awesome!

I cannot express how grateful I am to God for allowing me to go on this journey, to be in California, for the amazing students and teachers He's placed in my life, and for the Holy Spirit. I long to just go deeper and deeper into His heart everyday! That's my goal for the rest of my life! Ha ha!
