The fire is back!

Wahoooo!!! God is so awesome! I love him so much! Last night, we had Youth Group and it was one of the best! The worship was incredible! God really spoke throughout and I really felt his presence! Then we all prayed for each other, someone would sit in the middle and we gathered round and prayed and prophesied over each other. These were the words people prophesied over me: "I see you on the front lines, people have been placed by the enemy to taunt you but you have a huge smile on your face, let joy be your strength. God will use that to overpower." And; "You are on a surf-board on a big wave, surfing- you are panicking a bit. Focus on God, enjoy the ride, don't fret. Enjoy the exhilaration of being on the wave." Also; "Being fired up isn't just a phase, 'to he who has, more will be given'."
   They were really spot on because I have been panicking about the future a bit- the deadlines for handing in applications for 6th form is coming up and I really need to make sure I'm doing what God wants me to do, and follow him. And also, a lot of people at school are being rude to me about me being a Christian, so that was really cool as well! And I want to be continuously fired up for Jesus so they all hit the spot!
   I got home and opened the bible- I couldn't wait to read more of God's word! It opened in the psalms and I read the first few sentences which said "Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all nations, the taunts with which your enemies have mocked every step of your anointed one. Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen." (Psalm 89:50-52)
My eyes then brushed over the last few sentences on the page and read "The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the Lord on high is mighty." (Psalm 93:3-4)
I thought that was so cool! How both those verses were the things prophesied over me! I love how God does things like that!


And  apart from being sick at 10 to 3 in the morning I am feeling great! I am listening to some worship music whilst my family has gone out for my little brothers birthday, I love it when I have the house to myself, it's so freeing! Well, that's all my news for now. I will update shortly because God is still holding our school in his hands and he is going to do some amazing things! He hasn't forgotten! Expect the unexpected!!

Over the weekend..

This weekend has been amazing! My friend and I had a day of prayer and fasting on Saturday. I had slept over her house so on Saturday morning we got up and wrote a list of everything we felt we should pray for. I wrote a list of expectations I wanted God to do throughout that day and he fulfilled every one again!


I found this verse and love it! Matthew 20: 21-22 'Jesus relied "I tell you the truth if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what is done to the fig tree but you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea', and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.'
As we were praying and worshipping I felt God speak a couple of words to me:
1. Last year, Snow didn't fall for ages; we saw signs of it coming and a little fell but it didn't settle or stay long. This year, the snow has came early. [This town] was one of the first places it hit- and settled! The last have come first. God is coming to do amazing works, his spirit has settled on [This town] and he is calling the people to him, he won't fade or melt away, this is it. The time for revival has come. ~ God then spoke and said to me "Open the bible, I want to confirm that" I opened it and read these words "The day of your watchmen has come, the day God visits you."
2. Jesus said he has compassion for the church; he sees we're hungry. He says he will not let us leave unfilled. He will feed the church, this is a promise.
3. God said he wants to change Christmas from a superficial Christmas to a supernatural Christmas. That we should humble ourselves by visiting the dying elderly and the children and show God's love to the poor! Christmas isn't about trees and presents, it's about the love of God, fulfilling a promise to the world.


Later that afternoon, we went treasure hunting. Basically we go into the streets of [This town] and pray for God to gives us clues. We write them down on our treasure maps and go and seek out the clues to bless the people and pray for them. God done some really amazing things! It was such a blessing to know that we were blessing others! 


My friend and I also prayed for each other and she said this: "I felt God say you're on an unravelling path! You won't always be able to see what's ahead, but every time you take a step of faith forwards, he is going to keep unravelling the path before you! Keep trusting and putting your faith in him- He knows everything!" This was really cool because I was waiting for God to give me more directions about the future and this really spoke to me about doing what God has already told me to do so he can reveal more as I climb the next hill.


Sunday was also really good. My friend's dad did a preach which was really good. Then on Sunday evening I went to the prayer meeting which was also great! I think I'll try and go more often, it's great praying with other people.


Today we had our school prayer meeting at lunch which was fun too! I don't think praying is ever boring actually! ;) So I've had a really good weekend! That's all for now! I'll keep you posted!

Drenched in God

I love God! He is Amazing! I've been trying to spend time with God more regularly which is such a blessing to my life. I would love to do that in the mornings but school gets in the way! I need to force myself to get up earlier because I want to start and end my day with God! 

I am so excited about what God is doing and about to do! I want to be completely undone by God's love! I want to experience his powerful love everyday! I want to be completely submerged in his water of life and spirit but at the moment, the water is only washing over my feet, but hey Jesus started by washing his disciples feet!!! I want to be drenched in him and worship in his presence! It has to be more than just twice a week at church and youth group! I need him I want him I desire him I want to be captivated by my Jesus!

People may have noticed a change in me through my writing since the beginning of this blog. That is Jesus! It isn't some weird "stage" in my life, it's the power of Jesus coming into my life! May it never stop! People can call me weird but I don't care, the most important thing to me is to remain in Jesus: And what shall separate us from the love of God? NOTHING! I love Jesus with a passion! I love my family and friends too but Jesus will always come first (I hope!) 

I want to see miracles every day, I want to see revival hit and break open this town I want to walk down a street and see groups of people praying together and worshipping the Lord! I know some of what I'm saying sound like Jackie Pullinger and Heidi Baker, I've been reading their books and found them to be truly life-changing. I have also been reading the bible and found that to be life-changing too! I know Jesus wants me to surrender to his love so that he can use me for his Kingdom come! He wants that for everyone!

Christmas is coming up and I can't wait! This year it isn't all about the presents, I want to celebrate the birth of Jesus! I don't think I have ever really done that before,  Christmas was all about family and fun and presents (Which it should be!!) But it should also be about God's amazing plan to save us and celebrating that and being thankful to God!

I pray that Jesus would drenched me his love! He wants everyone to be! I pray that he would use me for great works so that his light may shine through me! May Jesus name be glorified!!

Living everyday.

Haven't written in here for a while! I've had a topsy turvy couple of weeks so far! My parents went to India a little over a week ago to help over there with some children as a church mission thing. It's been really nice for them, we had a couple of emails and a phone call from them which was sweet, they sound as though they're really enjoying themselves. I can't wait for them to come back though! We've been praying for them as they're away and so far so good!


Over the weekend I went away to Poole for a Christian conference about being a missionary in our schools, it was really good! I went with my best friend and it was great to be built up with passion for God at the same time! On Monday, we had our usual prayer meetings which was great; we went out on a mini- outreach trip and prayed for some people who were on crutches, unfortunately we didn't see any healings as only one person was willing to be prayed for.
After the conference, I planned to get up earlier in the mornings and spend more time with God, but it has't worked out so far. Sometimes we just get tired or busy and distracted by the world. It's so annoying! I wish I was full-time in the presence of God, worshipping him all the time, but that's what Heaven is for! I get tired easily but I know that God is waiting for me to come and talk to him so he can speak to me. I'm not making excuses, but we shouldn't condemn ourselves for not having our "devotional time" with God. We just pick it up again. The thing is, I really want to be listening and talking to God, I just forget or get distracted! I do want to try harder, but I need your help God!


Over that week-end I also believed that God was telling me to go to Ukraine sooner than I imagined. We watched a DVD called Compassion which is an organisation that sponsors children over the world. I was watching it, and just felt an urge to go and help the children who are suffering. I wanted to go as soon as I left school. I really felt that it would be sooner than I thought anyway (which goes with a word which I received at Newday). I prayed about it and asked God for confirmations, I also told my Friend about it. Then we went into groups and were given a series of discussion topics. After completing these, I asked what people wanted to do when they had left school and college. Then in reply, they asked me. So I said I think I'm going to go to Ukraine. At that moment one of our leaders came and sat down and said "Oh I love Ukraine, it's awesome!" So I replied (with Shock!) "Wait? You've been to Ukraine?!" He said that he had and I said that I had always wanted to go there and he told me of loads of English Christian friends who he knew who had moved out there! THEN he said that he could give me their contact details if I wanted!!! What a great confirmation! I didn't actually end up taking the details because we never got around to it, but the conversation was there! Then, after that, we were sitting in a room reading books and bibles and stuff when I started thinking "Actually, maybe I shouldn't go that soon, I'm really young, I'm a woman, I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm one person - I can't do this on my own. (This was all said in my thoughts!) Then my friend turned around from her book and said "Oh wow! Listen to this! It's so cool!" She then read out the following:

"When it comes to serving God, we must never focus our attention on the size of the task, for it will squash our vision and enthusiasm, we should always place our eyes on the size of our Lord. What he says will happen always takes place in his perfect timing and nothing can stop the Lord's will being done on earth or in Heaven." ~ Brother Yun

How cool is that! Exactly what I was thinking! Then... Later, I sat down on a chair and opened my bible which opened on this verse: 

Judges 18:6

The Priest answered them, "Go in peace. Your journey had the Lord's approval."

So that was really awesome confirmations! Also, I opened a book and found the Lyrics to Steven Curtis Chapman's song "What now?"However, I still don't know if soon is 16 or 18 or maybe a bit after that? I just know it's soon. I really wanted to trust in God for this though and assuming it was as soon as possible, I decided not to create any back-up plans and go by faith alone (like Jackie Pullinger!). That didn't really last long. My school 6th form open evening was last night and  wasn't going to go but then I was convinced that it would be okay and I would just look around and not decide anything. I looked around a lot of topics and could only find 2 which I wanted to do- 'French' and 'Religion, Philosophy and Ethics' Plus an extra-curricular course called tEfl (teaching English as a foreign language). They looked really good but I had to find two others. I looked and looked, I eventually came up with Sociology but wasn't amazed by that. I then decided on a random other to do because I had to and before I knew it I had created a backup plan. So I was a bit annoyed at myself and angry that there weren't enough good options and wanted God to tell me what to do! I'm still not entirely sure but I'm just going to wait and see, I have 2 months before I have to give in my application form for college or 6th form so hopefully God will reveal his plan to me by then! I'm excited by the future but I also know God wants me to be a missionary now in my school for him. 

Lord, I thank you for the many promises you give to us. I thank you that you speak to us, even today. I pray that you would reveal to me your plan for my life. I pray that you would tell me when I'm on the right path and when I'm about to swerve. Please tell me the thing I need to know in your amazing and perfect timing. I pray you would give me supernatural energy when I'm tired and revive me! I pray for a revival in this nation Lord! I truly believe you are about to move in a massive way! Keep me awake and alert so I don't miss the works you are about to do. Use me for your glory Lord. I pray for Mum and Dad whilst they are in India, that they would be a blessing to the community there and they would be blessed as they outreach to the people there. I pray for your protection over them against any illnesses or attacks. In your great name, I pray. Amen!

Keep praying for the work in my school, that the people would be impacted so greatly by the work God does through us and that they would be willing to be prayed for or simply talk about God with us. Pray for a revival! It's going to hit this community so greatly!!

P.S. A few days ago I had a picture of these people floating in the water of a beach and they were sleeping, just floating in the water. Then, they started to rise up and became a massive army, they were revived! God is going to awaken an army of people who will be used greatly for his Kingdom come! Wake up or you'll miss it!!
