Breaking Intimidation

Help me Father to be 100% who You want me to be, not intimidated or fearful. I repent for the anxiety of "people pleasing." I want to please You Father, I need to know how You think of me and be concerned only with Your opinion. Help me not to fear anything that remotely feels like a "table conversation" And thank You for refining me.

In Jesus Name I pray and trust,
Amen.

It's about TIME

It's been a time or two since I've been by. The only way I can articulate what's been happening in my absence is with a short parable:

Digging and digging through a newly discovered tunnel (artistic worship), I found a fountain (God) and have stopped digging a while. Now, although I've put down my shovel for a while, I know I am closer than perhaps I've ever been. Not that I've arrived and not that I'm satisfied. In fact, it's quite opposite. I'm intensly not satisfied and insist on more, deeper, higher, full and overflowing...

• It's time I saw the need for Him and inadaquacy of myself.
• It's time I believed the Word FULLY about ALL things.
• It's time to press in.
• It's time to walk the talk... especially when it really counts.
• It's time to embrace the fiery trials knowing they purify.
• It's time to stick my neck out even if it hurts.
• It's time to know the TRUTH according to the Word and not man.
• It's time to seek God's approval, not man's.
• It's time to reverentually fear God, not man.

I'm done staying where I was.
I never want to go backwards... and not even that, but I never want to slow down.
