From the Revelation of Love…

Psalm 34 on my mind, my lips, and my heart.
This will be my last blog as a student of lecture phase in Fire and Fragrance DTS. As I was sitting in the last day of lecture, I couldn’t help but think back on the last 12 weeks and what the Lord has done in me. All I could muster up were the words “thank you” over and over and over again.
After 12 weeks of incredible teaching from mothers and fathers of our faith, it all came back to week one. Everything we do comes FROM the place of love, instead of going TOWARDS love. We go from the place of intimacy to the place of obedience, instead of a place of religion to sacrifice.
Please fight with us in our next journey. I have seen too many revival meetings that emphasize presence, intimacy, and love…only to have people walk out of the door and immediately go back to striving mode. Our team is really believing for the fullness in loving our neighbors, but we believe fullness will naturally come as we “Love our God with all our hearts, all our souls, all our strength, and all our minds.” What if mission trips, short and long, really believed that our prayers were as powerful as Jesus says they are? What if we really believed that what Mary chose was truly better than Martha’s choice, and not just in 15 min QT’s but in missions trips? What would the nations look like? Please partner with us in prayer that all of the Fire and Fragrance outreach teams would choose the better everyday in our outreaches.
I am leaving tonight and will return on June 10th. We will be in South France and Amsterdam loving on God and loving on people. It has been an incredible privilege to be on this journey. Thank you so much for all of you who have partnered with me in prayer, finances, or even simple thoughts. I miss everyone so much.
Amazed,
Michael.
