Is entertainment rest? When we have had a long week, our default is to crash on the couch and pop in a movie. Is it bad to watch a movie? No. But is it truly rest? Would the highest be to rest in His presence? I believe so. This doesn't mean we have to have a worship night with our concordance and notebook evertime we have a free moment It could be simply crashing on the couch and sitting in silence, or soaking with worship music. I really believe we need a perspective shift on what rest truly is. I want to make every part of my life, even my rest, honor the Lord.

Don't Forget Fasting
God is speaking to me about the power of fasting. I have been feeling a spirit of seeking coming upon me lately. Asking real questions about my destiny, and just getting really serious about pursuing my destiny. I feel like God is like, "Don't forget to fast. Don't forget about the power of my voice being released when you consecrate yourself and put hearing My voice over eating your turkey sandwich." STOP getting all frustrated that you don't know how to clearly hear the Lord's voice. YOU KNOW how to hear the Lord's voice! Consecrate yourself. Give Him worth!
I once asked Lou Engle how he got to the place that He is now. How did the Lord bring him from being just a regular dude in a church to one who rallies stadiums of fiery Christians to repent, turn to the Lord, and usher in revival to this nation. Build a name in the spirit realm through fasting… If I am serious about building a name in the spirit. Proving that I am serious about serving Him, and not just casually stumbling through this Christian walk. It requires a radical obedience. It requires giving Him so much worth that I will do anything He is asking me to do. Stop living a lame undisciplined life. Stop complaining about not feeling you are where you need to be in the Lord. GET THERE! Get radical.
A Burden I've Never Felt Before
God totally rocked me. a burden in me. I don't think I have ever felt a burden come upon me like this before. I was hit with the revelation that the saving power of Jesus isn't just for the lost and the broken. It's also for the comfortable, and selfish. I felt like God was asking me questions like, "How can you live the life you live? Knowing of the brokenness and confusion your generation lives in, and do little to nothing about it. How can you tout that doing my will is your greatest passion, but never be interruptible to do my work? " He was just showing me so much about how revival isn't just about us feeling the yummy yums in worship. It isn't about gaining a Christian crown or a mighty ministry. It's about building a name in the spirit through brokenness, intercession, discipleship, evangelism, fasting, hunger, and worship. This was one of those God encounters that I know has to change the way I live. IT HAS TO CHANGE THE WAY I LIVE! I can't just live this life of playing church and doing and occasional outreach from time to time. Nor can I step out in obedience just so I am not a hypocrite when I talk about evangelism. In Mark 12:28-31 Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment is. He answered Love God, and love your neighbor. How can we say that we love our neighbor when we are living selfishly...while thousands daily slip further and further into the comatose of their broken life? That is the question we must answer.

Save the Date!
Save the date for Revive!!! Saturday September 13th in the evening. The exact time is TBD. How about a little Q&A session if you don’t know what this is all about?
• Q: What is revive?
• A: Revive in its simplest form is a worship night with a twist. In the sanctuary we will have hours of non-stop live worship with the Revive Band, as well as prophetic painting, and ministry from the F.R.E.E.D.O.M. dance ministry. In the foyer it will be setup as a coffee house type of configuration, with a barista, food, décor, etc.
• Q: Who’s this for?
• A: This is for everyone! We are inviting the entire church, and we will also be inviting other churches/youth groups in the area. With the foyer setup like a coffee shop, it will be a great place to bring your non-Christian friends without bringing them to a “church service”. Bring the sick! Bring those who need healing!
• Q: What can I expect to happen at revive?
• A: Miracles, healing, signs, wonders, salvation, and God encounters!
• Q: Is there a place for me to get involved?
• A: Contact either Chris of Veronica to find out!

Revival In The Park!
Last Saturday we went down the waterfront in Kirkland, WA to release revival and joy! We had prophetic painting, a drum circle, and a prophetic ministry table. It was a blast! A girl named Anna came to join us and she was healed of a stress fracture! She took off her foot boot and hasn't worn it since then!!! God is so good!
