I went to the House of Prayer in Rutland, Vt Thurs-Sun. I am sooo glad that I went. Something awakened in me again and my spirit and heart were stirred. I have such a strong connection with the House of Prayer that whenever I am there I feel like I am home. I bear witness with everything and it rejuvenates me. I can understand what they are saying perfectly. I was stirred by a woman who preached one of the workshops, she started out talking about my life's theme "returning to your first love" and then she talked about in Revelations how it says "the spirit and the bride say come". The Lord gave me that revelation two years ago and burned it into my heart and at the time I had never heard that kind of teaching before but now I hear it in alot of places. It stirrs my heart every time. For the first time I actually have a want to in my heart to be recklessly abandoned, it seems so scary but not if you are madly in love with the one that you are becoming recklessly abandoned to. I spent the day with the Lord today and it just isnt enough, I desire to be in that intimate place. I desire to be the bride that He has willed me to be. I have such an intensity in my heart right now. I would really like to go to the House of Prayer again in Missouri. I feel it in my heart to go again. I want to be apart of what the Lord is doing on this earth. I cant sit on the side lines. Complacency is not fun. And even fun runs out but the passion of God does not. No matter how intesely we experience God there will always be an experience with Him that will be more intense, there is always more with Him. When I was at the conference this weekend I saw people recklessly abandoned to the Lord like never before. The kind that are passionately in love with the man Jesus and who have given everything to Him to be at His beck and call. I saw a team of 18-22 year olds form a prayer tunnel and pray for the entire conference of adults, myself included. I saw adults falling out in the spirit bc the Lord was falling so strongly. I hear their voices crying out to God for the generation before and I heard them cry out for me. It was amazing. These were people who understood the fear of the Lord as well as the sweet intimacy of the Lord. The Lord truly is raising up a generation who will be consumed by the burning desire of their God.
