This letter gave me chills and brought fantastic encouragement to me when I read it. Such a beautiful account of what the Lord is doing in LA, in one life being awakened to even more of His all consuming presence. It is definitely worth a read. Come Lord, where ever we are, LA or Birmingham, Orange County or Africa, more of You.
enjoy...
jen!!
hello my dear friend!! how are you?? i've been thinking about you. i went to the conference with my church this weekend!! ahhhhh!! oh my gosh!!!!!! I AM CHANGED. i was created to worship, which is everything and everyday life and when we create or have a time of worship we are just tapping into whats already going on all the time in heaven!! which i knew, but now i KNOW!! oh wow. so much. one thing you'll love.
sat. night at dinner break a bunch of us went to a frozen yogurt place and as we were finishing the Lord came and we prayed for our friend. my other friend(abby) hugged me and so much heat and power went through me. something changed. we get in the car to go back and i can't stop laughing from the joy of the Lord and then our friend (collin) starts singing out prophetically and i start weeping. the girl in the front(stacy) starts shaking. the driver(john) prays affirmation over me and then we park :) and keep going. then we go to get out and my friend(abby) hugs me again and it happens again, power and heat i start weeping so hard i can't breathe!!! i can't get out of the car. so she stays and holds me and the lord tells me he's opening my ears to hear what his children are crying out for but also for what he is saying back to them. i'm crying and shaking and he's like your birthing time is now!! ahh!!
i sit down, but about 10 mins and i feel stirred and i hear people yelling and laughing outside the sanctuary.. so i go outside the building, on the side walk and 15 people are shaking, laughing, crying, yelling, praying, birthing!!! so i join in of course :) after being joined by like 10 more people, they move us inside to the cafe, but half of us still can't walk!!!!!! we're so "drunk" !!! we're laughing, holding hands, being carried, falling over in the power of God. we finally make it down the hall and i end up on the floor again, holding hands with some lady and another girl, laughing, shaking, crying!! crazy!! just as i'm thinking "why?? Lord, why all this, unto what??" and someone screams out "cuz i like to party!!!" and it was ! it was so fun! yet amazing. i've never felt that much energy surge through me before. so then i'm laying on my back but like doubling over. and i look around and several people are positioned as if they were giving birth, all of us feeling incredible pressure in our stomachs and moaning and shaking!! oh man.
so then they move us to the sanctuary... same thing with the hall. the closer we get to the front, i can't walk. so i crawl to the front and land on my face for another hour of worship. so about 10 of us are left completly wrecked for another hour. we finally all get up, slowly. some guy pretty much carried me out, but every few steps we stop, cuz the weight and pressure of God was sooooo strong on me, we'd almost fall over :)!! we make it out to the front lobby, but continue and get some other people for a good half hour. then we go to denny's and deliver a homeless man in the front. my friend sang over him prophetically, we loved on him and then went inside. where 2 of my friends ended up on the floor and 2 others shaking and singing....!!! and then last night, i went to visit abby and andrea (abby's the one who hugged me with all the power) and we prayed for a good 2 hours, laughing shaking, crying, screaming and abby "had her baby" :)AHHHHHHHHH jen.
oh yea, and before that (sunday night) i went to church and a co-lead with the worship leader! i got a word for him. i tell you there was an electricity on that stage i've never seen during worship and the Lord was ALL OVER him. and yet it has always been there, i've just been given eyes to see... my mom said it was the most free she ever heard me sing and of course the song i sang was "hungry"!!! yes!!!! and jen it is. it's different!! i've walked into something and there's no going back. i got words for almost everyone i came in contact with. i have this new song i wrote (you don't have it, i hadn't written it yet) its mainstream. i played it for a few people, this lady starts weeping and telling me it's exactly what she needed to hear the Lord say, she's been going through drought for 2 years and the song was his promise :)!!! ahhhhhhh!!!
i get to come and tell them all the amazing things happening up here and remind them about Jesus and how big he is and that there is NO box to contain him!!!!!!!!
God Bless you!!!!!!!!
love
