Remembering what God has done!

Today I found myself at the prayer chapel at Bethel which is super unordinary for me. Usually my times in the Presence are spent in my room or closet. However today I found myself in the prayer chapel. I found myself picking up a three ring binder that sits on the prophetic art and intercession table titled "Bethel's Prophetic Journey." I read lots of encouraging things but the thing I read that rocked me to the core was written by Graham Cooke in 2008. Here is the word!

Son the long years of wondering and praying about hearings and miracles and you have sometimes almost found yourself daydreaming, where the whole day you would just envision people getting healed and what the church would be like in revival. And you would just sit there and get lost in the idea of people getting healed and demons fleeing. Then you would jump and think " what am I doing" and feel guilty because you missed half a day. And you couldn't seem to stop yourself from doing it. And the Lord says " that was me I encouraged you to daydream. I was dropping that stuff in your spirit." those things you've long to see you will live to see. And you will participate in those things I will take you across the nation and from nation to nation.


Wow and we have so seen that begin to come to pass. What are you dreaming about today.. The things you are dreaming of today with God is the land you will be living in tomorrow.. Keep dreaming, envisioning, and enjoying His Presence and never forget what He has done!

Twenty, years of love!

"Act as if it were impossible to fail."

Dorothea Brande

I went for a thirty five minute jog with my friend and housemate Selina Rocha a couple of days ago and after we went jogging she showed me this really incredible app on her phone when you shake it, it says a motivational phrase. When I shook it I received the quote above. Act as if it were impossible to fail. When we dream and make steps to live those dreams we actually are catapulted to new levels personally. This is something whether I have realized it or not, is something I crave; taking risks and going to the next level in whatever way I can... this saying maybe has been a life motto of mine without me EVEN realizing it.

With that I said I just turned 21 woot woot!!

And this week I compiled a list of things that God has done in my life or I have made steps towards this past year. My dream is that as you read this you would dream with God over your life and that you would allow Him to challenge you in new ways..that you would take risks and break past obstacles in your life and become the person you have always known you were inside..

Twenty was the best year of my life...

Twenty was a year of...

1. intense joy, fulfillment, purpose, and excitement

Romans 10:11 For the Scripture says whoever believes in Him will not be dissappointed (NASB)

May EVERY dream God and you have dreamed over your life come true and MORE!

You may remember my earlier blog about dreams and dreaming with God.. http://extravagantbliss.blogspot.com/2010/11/invitation-to-dream.html

HUNGER!

I refused to believe that God has put dreams inside of my heart that are unobtainable. I refuse to put my dreams and visions in a place of maybe in ten years this or that will happen. I will not distance my passions, imaginations, and expectations for a day I am unresposible for. I think today is the day for impossibilities to bow. I think today God wants to do greater works in and through our lives.

-I can't think of a reason creative miracles won't be normal in the next few years for every believer.
-I cant think of a reason all of Redding wont be saved.
-I cant think of a reason why I won't see all cancer and AIDS erradicated entirely of this planet.
- I can't think of a reason my children and their children will not inherit a world in world wide revival.

All these thoughts, stirrings, and hunger.
Has lead to the craziest miracle of all or maybe you should say the greatest miracle of all has lead to this type of hunger...
Union of God, friendship with God, being entirely one with Him, the mystery of the ages that creator God would dwell in us His creation.
Is the GREATEST miracle and the essence of life..
To know Him in His fullness!!

And I am consumed with the hunger to know God like never before in my life.
I mean consumed in the most extreme and intense definition of the word.
Obsessed with the desire to know...
Not merely justht e concept of God, the workings of God, or the nature of God, but the very personhood of God, the depth of Him. The secrets He has kept hidden for those who long to go into deep communion with Him.
communion means 7 things:
His presence, fellowship, sharing together, participation with, intimacy, friendship, comradeship.

We were born to know God to crave a friendship with Him and the more we feed this desire the more we know Him. And the more we know Him the more we want to know Him and be with Him because He is so sweet, desireable joyful,kind, loving, tender, fun, and lovely in every way. Ask him to come and meet you in a whole new way.. and as you do and continue to do so.. you will never be disappointed. You will be entirely satisfied in your desire to know Him more.

Invitation to Dream

"Everybody wants their dreams to come true, the world is BEGGING for someone to reveal dreams coming true are possible."- Danny Silk


I remember sitting on my bed at 11 years old, thinking I would be 100% okay if I never lived to be 20. And I remember a chill went through my bones as I absolutely realized I meant it. All my dreams had died at that point and I didn't any longer felt safe to express myself or how I really felt. I had forfeited my dreams for a mentality of survival, living in a world of low self esteem, extreme depression, horrible circumstances, self hatred, and irrational fears. A LOT has changed since then.. okay EVERYTHING HAS!

 I find myself often dreaming and pondering what will the future look like, what can I bring, what do I offer , and HOW CAN I CHANGE THE WORLD!?


The distance between what should be and what will be is us and will we dare to dream?  Or will we remain satisfied with what we have? It takes a lot of courage to dream because most dreams currently appear impossible. I really believe that nothing is impossible and that God wants to see impossibilities bow to His name through partnership with us. AND I'M GIVING MY LIFE TO THAT RIGHT THERE.. that's what I want to be known for a woman who loved God with everything and lived in a way that nothing was impossible.. what do you want to be known for?

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Or you were ten times bolder or resources were not an issue?

THINK.. those are your dreams

 Your life is meant to feed and inspire those around you.
 When we dream with God it causes a dissatisfaction with a natural life and propels us into a life of purpose.


When your dreams are coming true you are a tree of life, your eyes illuminate hope. The whole world sees it  because everyone is hungry to be fulfilled, to be doing what they were born for, to be doing what makes them come alive.


 So I keep a list of my dreams I believe I have 170 of them and I add to them and check them off as they happen here are a few that have happened since March..

 -Visit the Redwood Forest 
-Paint on stage during worship (at Bethel)
-Visit LA and San Frann
-Go to Mexico
-Hug someone and they be healed (she was blind)
-Pray for people and they be healed of cancer


 Some dreams of mine I have dreamed that have not happened yet, but will!

-Start a spontaneous dance party in public
-Open air preach in America (demonstrating God's love and power)
- People who are extremely starved  bodies get fat and entirely nourished, miraculously
-Visit Cuba 
-Travel throughout Africa
-See Africa completely redeemed the ground grow fat crops, family unit restored, creativity, ect.
-That people getting out of wheelchairs would be normal (in my life)
- Adopt beautiful and amazing kids 
-That when I shop people would fall out in God's presence and encounter Him just because He lives inside of me.
-Give away a house
-See healing recognized in the world wide church as part of the atonement.. a reformation!! hahaha!



I AM NOT GETTING OFF THIS PLANET UNTIL... CANCER and AIDS BECOMES COMPLETELY ERADICATED I just love dreaming with God and staying expectant and looking for what He does and how we can partner with Him and take risks. Living in this place of dreams and having vision in our lives are like a compass directing us where to go. Our dreams (or lack of dreams) literally steer our lives. I CHALLENGE YOU to start dreaming more with God and writing them down and looking out for how He shows up. (these are things I have been thinking about for a few years and a few of my lines were inspired by things Danny Silk has said) <3
