Battling the Religious spirit

I think there are numerous ways to battle victoriously over the religious spirit...first of all when I am in worship in a public setting, and I feel restricted to not be as expressive or passionate or free as I would normally be by myself before the Lord, I believe that can be simply insecurities, but a lot of times it's the religious spirit.

I can make a choice to enter into communion with the True Holy Spirit who lives in me and who will manifest Himself IN/THROUGH/ON/AROUND me. Entering in by opening the gate of our wills when the presence of God is PRESENT puts us instantly into a place of genuine communion with God where we begin to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then the religiousness suddenly becomes miniscule or nonexistent in its power and threats.

I think for me, just contemplating the truth of Ps. 118:6 initiates the process of being free from religiousness. It says:

"The Lord is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

What CAN man really do to me? Really? When it comes down to it, what can man do? I am so often NOT walking in this reality. Man can't do anything to me! Father give me a revelation all over again of what man cannot do to me. Oh God. More revelation of YOUR love that frees from all fear. The Lord spoke to me either today or yesterday that I can only take the people I minister to as deep into liberty of the Spirit as I AM myself.

My Soul Longs for You

I'm on the plane now on the way back to NC...my time in KC has been extraordinary. I have fallen in love with Jesus all over again...but yet deeper than ever before.

My heart is being consumed with hunger for Him, and I've been thrust into a romance with Jesus that is sweeter than honey. The presence of the Holy Spirit has begun to become regularly tangible, and it feels like I'm being kissed with the divine affection from His heart.

My soul longs for You, my soul longs for You, nothing else will do. My soul longs for You, my soul longs for You, nothing else will do. I believe that You will come just like the rain. Your kisses on my head are like fragrance that I can't get enough of...the welling up of affection in my heart for You is unending. Your love woos me into romance, and I want nothing more than to be with You. Take me into the inner chambers of divine love that satisfies the craving in my heart. Let me and my gaze ravish Your heart. I've tasted enough of You to become addicted...draw me in deeper my lover. Let me experience and get caught up in Your affectionate love that is the beginning of all true love. Capture my heart that is so easily dazzled by the least of things.

Thank You for every time You kiss me with Your divine love. The core feeling of love that I have for You my Lover is indescribable...I can't find words to describe the things that I feel in my heart for You. I'm after Your heart, I'm after Your heart, I'm after You. Jesus, I am Your favorite One; what are You thinking, what are You feeling, I have to know. Your love is stronger than death. Put Your seal on my heart forever and don't let me run from You. Capture me again and again...there's no end or boundaries to limit or stop Your love.

Ministering to the CPx Team

Yesterday the presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong in me as Maria and I ministered to the CPx team. We welcomed the Holy Spirit and poured out the presence of God upon each person, and prophetic words came forth, healing, filling of the Holy Spirit, etc.

The Lord had shared with me before I went to CPx that Kevin had problems with his right shoulder. So when we got to him, I asked him about his shoulder if he had problems. HE SAID YES! He's had trouble for quite a while, and he was supposed to go see a physical therapist actually when they go back to Canada. We exercised healing, Maria and I, and I asked him if he felt anything change. He said no. I asked him if he had pain in doing anything in particular.

He said he couldn't really do pushups before because of the pain. So I asked him to try to do a pushup to see if the pain was gone! So he did, and the pain went away!!!! He's healed! This was probably the most accurate I've ever heard from the Lord before and then healing happening afterward after a word of knowledge.

A similar thing happened in IHOP the other day...me and some others prayed for this lady Debbie, then I felt the fire of God in my left elbow. I asked her if she had any problems with her left elbow, and she said yes...it had been sore, etc. She's actually on the healing teams at IHOP. I prayed over her elbow and exercised healing, and the pain decreased!!! Hallelujah! Bless the Lord I love Him so much for what He has done.
