THE OFFENSIVE IS UPON US!

Woah, I never thought that this day would come so quickly! I didn't feel that was capable or ready, but now, after the feast, I KNOW that I am not capable, Jesus is the one who has to do it all! This was the best feast, totally. Even though we had to read hundreds of paragraphs per day, it was hard core and quality feeding. So much awesome inspiring word flowed into my heart like never before. I don't ever want to be the same as before, I feel great. It was funny though that in one of the Gn's it gives this listy type thing, that say" Would you do anything for the Lord, how much are you willing to sacrifice to make the offensive work?" and stuff like that. Then it says that they aren't gonna have the XD or FDTP this year (which I was super duper looking forward to), but I had just said yes to all of those questions, so you have to live up to your end of the bargain type thing. But ya, the Lord helped me to be happy, and see the positive fruit that he wants to come about in my life as a result. So PTL, we are all super inspired about the offensive. Ready to launch an attack on Satan? Attack NOW! Love in Jesus, our commander and chief.

You, the sponge.

Heh, well this is a little parallel that was getting while having word time today, so I decided to write it here, and maybe it can be of use to us all. It is about when you go through the trials in life, when you really get stretched to the maximum. Well okay, so you're a sponge, and when you go through trials it is like the Lord is ringing you out. When he is ringing you, all of the water that is flowing out of you is the water of his word. Now the feeling that I was getting about this water, is that he wants you to pour it out onto others. Like when you are feeling really low, instead of getting upset, bitter, or clammed up about it, you should use your desperation to help others, pray for them, or just be there for them when they are feeling down. So you pour out all of that water to others, get them all saturated with the word and happy, then as we all know, you have got to get filled back up with the word, so that you can help feed others. Well I'm not so sure what the moral of the story is, but I'm guessing that it is to try to show us that when you are getting tested or tried, TESTify, show the Lord what your made of and that you can stand his squeezing and still come out praising and stronger than before. And also that we should use our experiences to help others around us, who are in need of a friend. Love you, It is a hardcore, sold-out, on fire for Jesus, REVOLUTION! Stay dropped out!
