Hunger

I can't help but to post again today. Let me first say that man I love when I hear Jesus speaking to me and then He confirms it through someone else, a song, etc
Tonight at youth in Smyrna Jesus kept saying "Rest my daughter, Rest." Those who know me know that this is a difficult thing for me to actually rest. I'm not talking about sleep...I'm good at sleeping ;)
I'm talking about spiritual rest. The kind of rest that brings deep peace and stillness...trust in Jesus. Rest...to simply abide in Jesus as He works...abide in the vine allowing His spirit to flow through and through.

Tonight Jeus gave me a few sort of visions. One of them pertaining to rest and i just had a vision that I was lying in the grass on my back staring at the clouds next to a stream of water. The water was flowing so gently. Jesus came to be and said ' let me give you new and fresh water' so He guided me to kneel down and cup fresh water in my hand to drink and splash on my face. Then we walked hand in hand down the bank of the stream into the unknown...but still hand in hand. I was assured that Jesus is with me and for me! He so cares for me.

Another vision Jesus gave me was while I was singing my feet began to feel wind just blow constantly. It was very weird actually feeling wind on my feet and not knowing where it came from and not being anywhere near an air vent. Jesus gently whispered in my ear that He is fanning the flame on my feet...preparing me to GO!! to Go tonight, tomorrow, the next day, June 22 and forevermore. He is fanning the flame on my feet that He calls beautiful.
In 2 timothy 1:14 Paul says to guard the good depostit entrusted to you!!!! woah!! haha Jesus has trusted me with the desires that He has placed in my heart. He trusts me to go to siegel high school, swaziland, utc, wherever. He trusts me!! He believes in me and is fanning the flame on my feet to not only meet physical needs but to bring THE living water and bread of life to people and to proclaim fearlessly the love of Jesus!!! thats the good news, the love of Jesus!!

This lady began to speak to the youth and i swear it was straight up Jesus speaking through her and she was speaking about being hungry...hungry for more of Jesus. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled!! Thats a promise...they shall be filled. But you have to want it!! Oh there are so many hungry souls!!
She began talking about physical hunger and relating that to spiritual hunger. Immediently I thought of Jivens and my lil buddies in Haiti and the soon to be buddies in Swaziland...I thought of their literal hunger. I believe I am connecting some dots now...You see jesus has given me a deep compassion for the poor, diseased and hungry right....well that passion has just gotten deeper because so far at first i have only seen the physical need and its such a huge task and just looking at how to 'fix it' is  daunting...now I have seen the deeper and much worse issue that not only exists in third world countires but also in my very own city....hungry souls. I'm thankful God has shown me the hungriest of them all because now it is showing me the other and more deeper side of hunger and that is the hunger for something greater...we are a starved people. either that are we are fat on various things that will never ever satisfy. Jesus is beckoning me to bring life that He offers...to offer living water and the bread of life not only in Africa, but here too.

 I am not going to Africa to meet just physcial needs...I'm going to Africa in hopes, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to meet spiritual needs and spiritual starvation.

Continue to pray with me please as Jesus continues to prepare my heart and take me deeper!

More of Jesus, Less of me.

Love,
