Pappa Please Don't Let Go

I don't want to leave Daddy's lap,
Because its dark and cold out there.
Daddy your little girl is tired and wounded.
She just needs to be held a little longer.
She missed Pappa and needs Daddy time right now.
She feels so weak Daddy.
Please just hold her; don't be mad.
Daddy just don't yell at her right now.
She'll try again but not today.
Today she'll just rest.
She couldn't possibly do anything else,
But rest with Daddy;
So just hold her now,
And Daddy don't let go
Til all is made better,
Til all darkness is gone,
Til joy is restored and strength renewed.
Don't loosen Your grip,
Til she's ready Pappa.
PLEASE!

love your lil brown-eyed girl

I'M NOT A HOPELESS INTERCESSOR

As an intercessor I am not called into hopelessness or heavy-laidenness. Part of my inheritance is the Holy Spirit, my deposit for the things to come. Only the spirit can search the deep things of God and that Spirit has been given unto me. My inheritance is an ability to know the depths of God, to know the deep things of God's heart. The Revelator reveals to me the burdens of the Great Intercessor. I have been given an open door in the spirit, a true ability to hear what the Father is saying and to see what He's doing. When I pray the intercession of the Father, prayer or intercession is not hopeless because the Father is faithful unto His Word, unto Himself because Christ is the Word. Its about throne room intercession, the heart of God. Throne room intercession prevents heavy-laidenness. His burdens are light because His burdens are what the Great Intercessor, Christ is making intercession for. The Word, or Christ our intercessor, makes intercession, we co-labor with Him praying down His heart and He, the Father, is faithful to the Word, Christ. Its the trinity at work. The Spirit connects us to the Father and gives us the ability to hear His heart because of the blood of Christ; then we labor with Christ in intercession praying His heart and the Father then remains faithful to His Son, the Word, fullfilling His promises. Hopeless intercession is broken by throne room intercession. Hopelessness breaks when we pray His heart, His Word, because it does not return void. Listen more and speak less. This is part of my inheritance: an ability to truly ascend into the throne room with boldness and confidence, to hear the Father speak and see Him work, to have unity with Him and be a co-laborer with Christ, to pray "Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (Christ's prayer)", to pray down Heaven and the Will of the Father, to walk with Him (the Father), Christ, and the Spirit...the Trinity, the fullness of God in unity! The cross has made a way for me to enter into this. I get to join in with the Trinity in intercession and God is Faithful to Himself within the Trinity, so when I join in with the fellowship of the Trinity, God is faithful to me! It is my right, my inheritance, to align or be in alignment with the working of the Trinity!

Sufferings with Christ

What does it mean to suffer with Christ? Romans tells us that those who are children of God are heirs and as heirs share in the inheritance of Christ, the glory, provided we suffer with Him. As I continue to press into the Lord I am realizing that this suffering which is spoken about is the putting off of the flesh. Christ, being both God and man, had complete revelation of His position as the Son of God, of His inheritance as such, and of God's jealous love for Him. This complete revelation engendered full faith, holy fear, unrelenting love, and evoked in Him a pure desire to sacrifice Himself, to put off His flesh to the point of death. Christ patiently suffered in the putting off of His flesh with joy because of His revelation of God. The putting off of the flesh which is the submitting of my will to that of the Father's will, comes from a place of revelation. As I grow in intimacy with the Lord, deep revelation and understanding of the character of God, suffering with Christ becomes of greater joy. If I am to try and suffer with Him within my own power, outside of the revelation of the Father, then the putting of off the flesh becomes hopeless; it becomes a place of obligation, an unattainable goal by ones own strength. From this place of hopeless obligation rebellion is birthed, and I lack understanding as to why Christ would call me to such a level of sacrifice. There is no revelation of love or of the glory to come, thus I who am striving to put off the flesh outside of the power of the Holy Spirit become bitter, angry, hopeless, and eventually rebellious.

The solution...not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit is this mountain of flesh overcome. By the Spirit am I drawn to the Father through the Son, and by His Spirit am I sanctified, made into the image of Christ. Its about cultivating a relationship with the Spirit, not just Jesus and the Father. One is in need of the complete trinity at work in ones life to bring about suffering, patience with joy. The Spirit searches the deep things of God and is my down-payment for the glory to come. By His Spirit is the true character of God revealed, and by His Spirit is my heart transformed to the point that a desire to suffer with Him is produced enveloped in a joyful strength to do so. By His Spirit am I changed from glory to glory and by His Spirit is my mind renewed to the point in which it becomes the mind of Christ. Peter 4 tells us that to have suffered with Christ is to have put on the mind of Christ and to have become finished with intentional sin, to be finished pleasing ones self, and to desire the will of God. The mind of Christ has full revelation of the character of God, of the love of God, of inheritance, of identity as a child of God, and of eternal life. This mind is developed by the Spirit Himself and produces within us patience, long suffering, with joy...a life willing, out of complete unadulterated love, to submit ones free will to the will of the Father...suffering with Christ is the putting off of free will and the flesh and the putting on of the will of the Father.

I realize these next three months are to be a time in which the Lord will send to me true revelation of the character of God, of His love, of my inheritance, of my identity as a daughter, and of eternal life. In these months the Lord will uproot every area of anger, bitterness, hopelessness, and rebellion that striving religion has produced in my life. Out of His great mercy and love He is digging deep and uprooting all in order to prepare me and produce in me patience with joy. He is desiring to root me and ground me in love rather than the hopeless striving religion which I am now founded on. It is a foundation shaking which will produce life rather than bondage. May my heart be willing and open to receive all the Father has for me.
