WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM!

Guys! So, many of you who regularly read my blogs know that I post (or try to) every Saturday. Well, I have not had any inspiration for the past two Saturdays. I thought of a couple ideas, and I could have written on them, but they just weren't RIGHT. Well, guys, I am here to say, always wait. There is power in the waiting because what just happened, a whole service could have been led in my back yard.

So, I was working out in my backyard (I have been doing this for like 4 or 5 days now). Through these five days, I have struggled but I would listen to worship music and God would help me through. So, today I decided to turn off my rap (the flesh's adrenaline booster) and I would turn on my "Revival music."

I clicked on this song (thinking that I had never heard it before) and I began to listen. This song was "Freedom" by Kim Walker-Smith from Jesus Culture. About half way through, it starts saying, "Run into wide open spaces, Grace is waiting for you, Dance like the weight has been lifted, Grace is waiting." I continues to repeat and the only words I could really understand (God's way of doing things is so interesting that He will make part of a song gibberish for that one lyric!) was the "Dance like the weight has been lifted."

Taking a leap of faith, because I have heard that this is a season of faith and that there is a move about to happen, I decided to just put down my three-pound weights and start dancing. My grandparents were at their house down the road, but other than that, nobody was there by me and Jesus. So I continue to dance and sing like the weight has been lifted. This was so spontaneous. I HAD JOY DURING EVERY SECOND. Yes, I was out of breath and yes it was hard core dancing, but man was it so freeing.

Part of me wanted to call my friends and get them to come to my house just to dance in my yard with me and Jesus. There was such a spirit of freedom in my yard today.

As you guys may know, my last blog was about a generation that needs freedom, and all week/month I have just been craving freedom and praying freedom over those who need it.

This past week, I had also been struggling with a section of being downcast and fearful. That was NOT OKAY! So, Sunday, it had been two years since that first ramp trip and man.... GUYS!!! You all just do not know what it's is like to have so much freedom.

I had always thought that I would get freedom when I moved out or when I started driving but the freedom starts now guys. I have heard over and over that there is a shift happening, and many different people have many different views and revelations on what this shift is (it is specific for every individual and who God is to them). To me, I firmly feel, in my gut, that there is a shift and a movement of freedom over the Earth right now.

It is YOUR choice to be involved or not. Guys, I didn't want to be in the movement at first, I was scared, but NOW!? Now I want to be at the heart of the movement. But first, I want to be at the feet of God, chasing the heart of God, so He can prepare me for a move of Him.

And it all starts with reading your Bible.

Before January, I was lost and had lost my freedom. The Lord had already told me to take ahold of it but I could not grasp how to take ahold of this freedom He had already given me. Now, I just realized how simple it is. The ticket to taking ahold of my freedom was on my nightstand. Isn't it crazy how what you are looking for is always right infant of you.

Guys, I challenge you. Take ahold of your freedom today. It's sitting on your nightstand. And If you don't have a Bible, I will personally buy you one. Everybody has a longing for this freedom and it is right at the feet of Jesus. Humble yourself and just look straight in front of you. Be apart of the movement. Grasp your freedom and join the crowd of witnesses. Now is the time to rise, now is the time to show everybody your freedom, and now is the time for God to get the glory for giving you that freedom.

Today, I danced in the yard. I danced my heart out to that song. I jumped, walking, skipped, ran. I danced at the feet of God and the sun came out and oh how beautiful it was. Sometimes, we need to shut down our brains and dance.

Today, go dance in your yard. You will not regret it, trust Him!
