"But when I call on Jesus, All things are possible I can mount on wings like eagles' and soar When I call on Jesus, Mountains are gonna fall 'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call..."
-Nicole C. Mullen Call On Jesus
A few weeks ago, a young boy of 16 came up to me and prophesied:
"I see a great, rushing tidewall of water, a waterfall, a great flood of the River of God's Love coming at you, getting ready to completely engulf you. But I see like a dam with the words, "My Will" written across the dam. The water is coming and breaking the dam... breaking your will. And then the Love is completely taking over..."
Do you feel a slight tension reading that? Who wants their will broken?? Not me.
This is surely the truth of what God is doing in my life.
Then only a few days later, I painted this painting called "Breakthrough."
Then, that same day, I was emailed by a friend. They had seen my painting, so they sent me this:
Humility is my true condition. My true identity. Real life hidden in Christ with God. Destiny. Who I was meant to be. If only I will DESIRE HIS WILL... I will seek and find Him, when I seek Him with my whole self...
The Jealous, Jealous Flame of Love is BREAKING my WILL. It feels like crushing pain. Like no air.
"Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air...If I should die before I wake...It's 'cause you took my breath away....Losing you is like living in a world with no air...
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
So how do you expect me to live alone with just me 'Cause my world revolves around you It's so hard for me to breathe
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air...?" (Jordin Sparks No Air)
1 Corinthians 15:28
However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life].
I have been granted this season of testing, I believe. Testing of the motive of my heart, mind, will, and emotions...
Given such access into the Heart of the Father... I am accountable for this moment in my life. Though loneliness is my pervasive truth... INTIMACY WITH THE FATHER IS MY LOUD LOVE and outweighs every momentary light affliction with the INCENSE OF GLORY DUE HIS NAME...
Bending, breaking. Molding, shaping. I need You, Jesus. You showed me a better way.
You said, " If you lose your life, you will find it."
And you, who was perfect, SPOTLESS LAMB slain before the foundations of the world... You did not consider it to sacrifice and empty of all of Your rights... for me.
Love is showing me a better way.
Matthew 26:39
And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.
I remember just a few years ago, I had lots of money in the bank, a nice apartment, a car, my cat... (I miss my freakin' cat.) All the freedom I needed, I was accountable to no one, engaged to someone... but dying. Dying, dying, dying. Without Lordship and surrender to my love, Jesus, it was merely religion, dead religion and I was dying, dying, dying.
He rescued me. Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound. Saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found... Was blind, but now I see.
"Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you..." Matthew 6:33
Jesus showed me about Loving the Father's Will. The Source of Love. My Maker. The Great I Am. His Will is Love.
Loving the Father's Will = FREEDOM & AUTHORITY.... = TRUST= THE KINGDOM
"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,
When he opens no one will shut,
When he shuts no one will open.
"I will drive him like a peg in a firm place,
And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.
So they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, offspring and issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars. " -Isaiah 22: 22-24
I'm setting the stage for the things I love
And I'm now the man I once couldn't be
Nothing on earth could now ever move me
I now have the will and the strength a man needs
It's my will, and I'm not moving
Cause if it's Your will, then nothing can shake me
It's my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God
Complexity haunts me for I am two men
Entrenched in a battle that I'll never win
My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me
But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need
I'm learning to give up the rights to myself
The bits and the pieces I've gathered as wealth
Could never compare to the joy that You bring me
The peace that You show me is the strength that I need
We've got to be children of peace
Don't you know we've got to be children of peace
It's Your will, It's Your will
Luke 11:2
And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done [held holy and revered] on earth as it is in heaven.

And I'm now the man I once couldn't be

Cause if it's Your will, then nothing can shake me
It's my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God

My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me
But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need
I'm learning to give up the rights to myself
