Intimate encounters entry 1

Im going to start something new at this blog. Maybe it will help me post more frequently. I've thought about this for awhile, sharing pieces of my journal with the public. I myself am a somewhat private person and the thought of sharing with the mass public, or even the number of people who read this blog my intimate thoughts are bothersome. But I want to die to myself, and the spirit flows when I journal, and I learn so much about how the spirit moves and talks to the hearts of the Lord's people by reading the words that are written through the spirit by a pen in my hand.

This might be a weekly thing, or even happen more frequently. I don't know. I just know that I am stirred to share with you guys what God has put on my heart in those intimate times with Him.

The following entry comes from a time in my life, over a year ago where I had really started to become stirred by the state of the church, when God had confirmed my call to the ministry, and when a vision for a revival (where this blog's name came from) was written on my heart.

I hope it stirs your heart as it did mine as I revisited that old, leather bounded journal of mine.

" God my heart is seriously burdened with this brokeness for the hurt that is being caused by the church. My tongue is heavy, so heavy I can't speak or put into words what the cry of my heart is. Yes God, I am excited but Lord, what I'm most excited for is to see your will be done in the life of the church. Let it be ignited with passion. Let people be accepting and be waiting. Let a revolution happen."

I then wrote about the whispers of peace I heard being written on my heart.

"Daughter remember the church is made of sinners. All but me Daughter [have sin]. I've saved you from this sin and planted you on firm ground- but not you, nor are they, nor the people you preach to are free from sin. Yes daughter, wait in acceptance but wait in patience."

I then ended that entry that day with a "Wow!"

Reading this entry, made me yearn for a time like that again with the Lover of my soul. It's those quiet moments where we find ourselves throwing ourselves at His feet, where we hear peaceful messages like that.

I hope this brought you something. May you find yourselves having many moments like this with our lover.

Peace and Blessings,

Jenny
