Outreach Update!

EXCITING NEWS!

After several weeks of praying and allowing the Lord to speak, our outreach location has been moved from Amsterdam to Wales! As excited as I was to go to Amsterdam, the Lord shut the doors to our going there and has opened up exciting opportunities in Wales. I will be posting a video in the next couple of days with more in-depth info! If you don't know the history of the Welsh revival of 1904, look it up! It shifted the GLOBE!

True Love Means Obeying His Voice

True love for God is an affection which involves choice and selection. True love for God is not just a vocal declaration, but it is a life that flows out of obedience to His word. In Titus 1:16 Paul talks about claiming to know God, but denying Him by our actions. Therefore, true love for God is choosing to be obedient because we want to properly display our love to Him.  Otherwise we are just speaking empty words that hold no weight. Jesus is the prime of example of a life that was an outflow of obedience to the Father. He carried such a love for the Father, and for us, that He was obedient all the way to His death on a cross. As I evaluate my level of obedience to the voice and commands of the Lord, I see my desperate need for the grace of Jesus. My hearts desire is to lay down everything for Him, but at times my actions contradict my confession. Praise God that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). But I want to be someone who can properly display my love for God by being obedient to His voice. When we are obedient to the command of the Lord, He comes and makes His abode in us, resulting in a life filled with power by His Spirit. Many are called, few are chosen. When we say yes to the calling, the result is empowerment to carry His glory to the ends of the earth.

Knighting

This is a video of the men in my DTS being "Knighted". The original definition of a knight is a man who served his sovereign or lord as a mounted soldier in armor. In order for a man to become a knight, he would have to be knighted. Our intentions are a little different. It is not a religious ritual of any sort, but more of a time to set ourselves apart to be men of God who will be a voice to a generation. We went through an intense week of allowing the Holy Spirit to basically do soul surgery on us. It was a very intense, but very freeing week. So at the end of the week, our speaker for the week knighted us. It was an amazing time to make a statement that we will step into the men that God created us to be.
