I came to the airport, because while worshipping this morning, I had been stopped! and fear fell on me, to listen! All of a sudden, this picture of Memorial Ave and Graham's Rd came into view. I knew it to be a bus route. "I will catch a bus to the airport" I said
I just want to let you know, the travels today, of my journey with Father and Son
I do know that they do not lead me amiss.
This just comes vividly clear as I think about it now
I came to the airport and thought about what I should do, and met my friend Steve, sitting just inside the doorway. I shared the story of receiving a picture, and coming here, believing it to be from Him
This is why, I can currently recall the events, without getting emotional
I was a little afraid as I sat down in the arrivals lounge, thinking about this one thing, being in Israel. God and I had a conversation together about what it would take to get on board an aeroplane, when I realized "If they have a ticket booked for me, it ought to be on the systems" so I decided to head on over to Emirates, where I handed my passport to them, made a search for today, and tomorrow, and found out that there was no booking for me on this passport.
It was a bit harder than the way that I put it, because I hadn't made a booking, I didn't have a travel agent, and I didn't have someone else, that booked the flight for me. I was going off God and His booking me on a flight
I went back to sit down in the arrival lounge, (a place I came back to alot) and thought about what had happened, and then made the connection between what God had showed me and my now present circumstance. I saw a courtroom scene, with Jesus as King, preciding over the plaintaints
declaring "No one who says this will not happen will stand" - that He was bringing justice to this purpose
God's word, his authority, and his ability will stand, everything he does, no one knows, who knows what He is about to do?
Here stood in parallel to this scene what I now had facing before me - simply to walk up to the counter, say
"I have a booking with God by prayer
I know about authority and that His booking would be on your system if He had made a booking
I know that he opens doors that no one can shut"
So I did not
I recognise that I'm not ready - in two ways, my love, and conviction of His authority.
God do what you are doing, I am walking with you
"Arise and shine, for your light has come" (Isaiah 60:1) The light has been realized and specifically has come to guide you into all truth. He commands you to give all your worship and love to Him

Open My Eyes to See
It went from here (my head) to my heart to my body - I cannot keep it inside - the dream which is Jerusalem.
I think this has to be the way that we live. What do you say to a people who are "whole-hearted"?
to dream is what we were made for, so the way to live is asking God "how do you see me?" - He is not just wanting, the mind, the heart but all of us.
It has been wonderfully demonstrated in the life of David, who God exclaims "I will give the sure mercies of David" - to a descendant of David that will bring an everlasting covenant with
How is it that you can commit atrocities like murder and lying and get away with it?
How is it that you can be called the man after God's own heart when you achieve Satan's will?
Because what exists in David's heart is something special. Something that God himself wants. It says that "I have provided for myself a King among Jesse's Sons"
I find it very amusing, that one of David's chief delights (according to scripture) is to build God a temple - to build God a house. to build God a dwelling place in Jerusalem. It is like his compass has been gravitated to the city that bears God's name.
Psalm 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved.
Psalm 2:6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."
Here we have two agreeing councils, where God has chosen before time to make Jerusalem His city of dwelling.
People will say "but He did not dwell there until David's day, and 5 centuries later, the dynasty failed" - Is it not for an eternal legacy?
Read this verse in 1 Samuel 17 and consider
17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
In this shepherd boys heart was a desire to make Jerusalem the chief city when He had barely been known by the tribes of Israel. It stood in defiance then, in a way, it stands in defiance now.
It is because inside of me exists the passion for the glory of God - which is far more than my JOY for people, or my love for people.
What is in me that I should be called the dwelling place of God?
The desire to live like David, whole-hearted is nothing less than connecting with God's heart, and then being mobilized in the generation that you are in.
The harvest is plentiful, the workers few, therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to SEND OUT labourers into the harvest field. What harvest? NATIONS!
A harvest of peoples, nations, tongues and tribes!
You cannot do that sitting down. You cannot gather into your heart what is only outside your doorstep. This call is one to give everything and consider it RUBBISH except to go for Him! that makes your OBEDIENCE, something of eternal implication. If you do not hear this, You are going to shrivel up.
I just made a precedent. It's because Jesus is putting the thrust back to you, and your heart. We tell Him we will go everywhere, But when He tells us he has given EVERYTHING we are callous and indifferent, not knowing what He is asking. Is this the only call? by no means! But a trumpet sure sounds like one from any angle that you hear it.
A call to abandon your heart looks nothing like anything else than that! But there is RESPONDING to be done. When the nations heard that God is the world-ruler they acted very foolishly, with their IDOLS, I wonder if this is the same response that threatens us today (Isaiah 41:6,7)
This is where my FREEDOM comes from, it is choosing the call to which He has called me.
To be confident in the face of fear, you cannot look back the other way, You have to be utterly sold out for the cause, God is the flame that allows us to do this (Isaiah 42:1-7) You ask, "What is before me?" only what He has been saying all along, "I am going before You, to pave the way for You, so that you can reap a harvest" This has everything to do with the REWARD. without a reward, no one will go. this is the motivation behind His phrase "What does it PROFIT you?" - emphasis on the YOU as well. When they were called, that was it, nothing stopping, they went with Him. He sure makes it difficult sometimes, but He never leads me astray. I know where I'm going and it's Jerusalem. Because He loves me! Because my work is there! because my reward is there! I am crucified with Christ
I will end with this. David was a shepherd boy, they did not even know his name (1 Samuel 15:28; 13:14)
He was not chosen because of his leadership, singing ability, handling of the sword, favour with people, or even His heart. If they were anything of the outward appearance, it says "I have rejected Him" - for the Lord does not see as man sees.
The only thing that He was chosen for was this, God liked that He came to Him.
It was a recognition that God would exclaim later "I will give you the sure mercies of David" - that I will not take away. faithful kindness and tenderness.
I am that man, that God has raised up! I do not want the accolades, the prestige, the rewards! I want to Love Him more!
And nothing is going to stop God from raising me up because I am totally after His heart
I think this has to be the way that we live. What do you say to a people who are "whole-hearted"?

Shame and Rejection
This process of giving things to God has brought up things that I did not know existed. I think that there is wisdom also in waiting for others to grow through experience to learn through them. This is something that has brought me such freedom that I want to share it!
When I was talking to Jesus I wrote down something into my diary that I want to share:
I have placed my trust in the living God, I will not be ashamed. Fill me with the pleasure of God
Little did I know that these words would mean so much.
While thinking about what needed to happen, I said in my heart "I'm going to die if I do not receive the provision I need" - for a backpack, and a power charger for my computer. That was what was arising out of my heart.
Shows that what was in my heart was an utter lie - stopping me from trusting Him, and taking back what I had given Him. The truth is this I am loved!
God knows what I need before I even ask Him. This is like saying, "You can totally trust in me, I have your best interests in mind"
It's okay, I'm also getting tender right now.
You mean, what he is wanting for me, is FREEDOM?
That I am going to be free from Shame? That arising out of my heart will be PEACE, and JOY, and love?
That is something that I am wanting more of!
One thing that I want to introduce is, What you Think of God. What arouse out of my heart, pre-dominantly was "Is this coming from God?" - in other words, I thought God capable of leading me astray, and bullying me.
This means I had a huge deficit in terms of what God could do for me. This will actually stop me from whole-heartedly trusting Him, when He says "I will provide"
I will make a chart of the difference between what God says, and what shame says.
Shame says, "I am unloved"
God says, "You are the one I love"
Shame says, "I will not be provided with what I need"
God says, "You will be able to minister out of the truth of my word"*
*There is a responsibility on our part to own up to the fact that God is responsible to provide, but that we will also do our part
Shame says, "Did God really say that?"
God says, "I am washing you in my word"
The reason that I could see through the disgusting lies was because it occured to me that my own problem was being brought up by God, and that there is a purpose for which He brings me through this. Funny part is, that when I came to the end of this striving and believing, I was at peace about it, because God had made me so content in His love, that I did not need to take my own from it.
In all this, I want to say, that I am crying out for understanding! asking God for the truth! I have much to hear and to know concerning my love in God.

from Hiddenness to Apocalypse
I want to immortalize this in time, so that you know what it is that comes from my heart first. This is a diary entry from yesterday's journal
I am pre-empting what is about to take place, to let you know that by the end of the weekend I will be in Israel
God's word never fails!
I was lying in bed, unable to move, because of a contracted flu, when my body relaxed because of this one phrase
He loves me, and he wants to marry me!
This is my testimony, God's word never fails! I do not want provision, I do not want to travel! All that I am wanting is to say God's word never fails!
This is what happened when I asked "Lord, what is your will? how are you leading? guiding me?"
And he gave me a scripture!
Psalm 126:6
I have been wrestling with "Does God's word fail?"
He broke my flu
and then I went to sleep
God does nothing for you because you do things for Him. The only reason is because you are His favourite! He likes that you want to love Him!
I'm saying this, because today He has honoured me, and that's the whole point. I am not doing it because I want to have a position, but because I want to love Him.
When you intercede, you are achieving God's purposes on earth, because you partner with His heart, the whole point is that you are connected with his heart, it happens, because you are allowing God to achieve what He is wanting on the earth. It is His purpose!
The word Apocalypse means "unveiling" or "revelation"
God did it all
My heart is burning at the moment. I have given Him my heart. This is my freedom, and this is my rest. I cannot loose. If you reveal any more of your love - I will explode in flames! This is love. He made you to be abandoned to Jesus Christ! Who is he? I will not be refused! Come oil me up like a kerosene lighter

To be denied would be like being uninvited to your own wedding
and like Intercession was not my very heartWhat is God's word for me?
He loves me, and he wants to marry me!
This is my testimony, God's word never fails! I do not want provision, I do not want to travel! All that I am wanting is to say God's word never fails!
