blown. blown away.
To be honest, I thought Student CPx was just going to be another 2 week camp; get inspired, and then fall back into complacent normalcy. I can promise you that this is anything but normal. Prophetic evangelism, words of knowledge, healings, love. This is my normal. This is what I walk in. The love of the Father of all creation. The hardest part about blogging is that I'm not to sure how to convey what's going through my head or my heart. There's so much I want to tell everyone.
I want to give you guys some quotations from this morning's teaching by Erik Fish. It was pretty sweet. We did a talk on David and Goliath--a somewhat rote childhood story, but take a gander at these lavish words from a sweet Dad. It's funny, I thought today was Father's Day. A day to honor dads, my earthly and my heavenly father, but what I learned was more of a gift to me from my daddy. Here's what's up:
"Jesus never made a Christian."
"Christianity will tell you there are things you can't do; Jesus tells you that you can."
"Every move of God in history needs someone to relase it; speak, write, or sing."
"God is an artist who paints on a canvas without borders. The first canvas he creatred was a sphere."
"The Lord is into choosing those who have a 'fat chance'."
"Christians go to heaven, but disciples of Jesus change the world."
Probably my favorite of the day:
"If sinners don't like to hang out with you, you might not smell like Jesus."
There's so much I'd like to say, but my words would fall flat. If you want to know, and I mean really know, ask your Heavenly Papa to speak. He is who gives me all that I desire and pray for. He will show you.
I had an amazing night last night, just worshipping Jesus in a car on my way to Duquesne U. These lyrics totally encompass love to me. Thanks Jaeson Ma.
Love--Jaeson Ma
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is.
But I'm a tell you what true love is.
Love is not what you see in the movies.
It's not the ecstasy, it's not what you see in that scene you know what I mean?
I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice.
Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself.
Love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love.
Love is when you lay down your life for another
Whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister.
It's even laying down your life for your enemies, that's unthinkable, but think about that.
Love is true. Think.
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love.
Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it does not boast
It is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
You see, love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love is everlasting
It's eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time
Love is the only thing that will last when you die
But ask the question why? Do you have love?
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends
Now are you willing ot lay down your life for your friends?
You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends
But are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you?
I'm going to tell you who did that.
The definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love.
The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow
Hanging on a cross for your sin, my sins
That is love.
He died for you and me while we still hated him
That is love.
God is true love, and if you don't know this love
Now is the time to know, perfect love.
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love.
This is my love.
Now, replace love with Jesus. Is your mind blown? Mine is.
