Corey Russell, Knowlegde of God

An Outcome of my Rapper Annointing :)

SO the other night I heard an awesome rap remix of one of my favorite Misty Edwards songs and all of sudden my mind went, "Hey! I can do that!" So I grabbed my pen and let it flow, here is one I'll share, it only took about 3 minutes to write:)

There's no way to explain
the gain
that came
when I chose to refrain
from my own game
and seek His name
and know His ways
and basque in the glory
of His face
His scars erase
every sin and shame
in Him I claim
my victory
He set me free
and now I see
there's no way else to be
but a fisher of men
a repenter of sin
a woman of power
as I await the hour
of His return
my passion burns
every fiber in me yearns
for that glorious day
when He'll look at me and say
"Well done"

King Of Glory-Jesus Culture


This song inspires an awe in me for the man of Jesus as he is glorified in Heaven. When you think upon him you can't help but get excited and want to tell everyone about him!
I desire his glory to be seen by all and until He comes back all the world can see is us.
Let's do what he told us to do and preach the Kingdom, make disciples, cast out demons, heal the sick and always expect Him.
He is SO powerful!



"We need to win the world with the power of the Spirit, we've been trying to win the world with the fruit of the Spirit. We need faith." Mel Ayres

Laura Hackett - He's Alive - Fascinate 2011 [lyrics]





[INTRO]
Jesus You're alive and if You're alive then sin has been conquered
If You're alive then death has been conquered

The second Adam who came and gave life to men
The first Adam, our father, he led us into sin
But the second Adam he leads un into life, he leads us into life.

Oh Jesus I hear You say: live, live, live I hear Him speaking over you,
Live, live, live
Those places in your heart, when you feel lonely, when you feel confused,
those cycles of sin you slip into, I hear the Lord prophesy over you,
Live -- You will live and not die -- your heart will be alive in Jesus
Can we just say Yes to Jesus -- we say Yes to You
We want to be alive with You

Just speak this together -- I hear the Lord say, live -- He says live, live, live

I hear the Lord say live, live, live -- live, live, live - come alive, come alive, come alive
Prophesy over our own selves -- prophesy over our own hearts

[SONG]
For there is no power in heaven or hell that can keep from the love of the Father on His throne -- The chains of sin can't hold me down -- even death itself can't keep me in the ground

Death where is your sting -- death where is your victory
He's alive, He's alive, He is risen

My God's not dead He's surely alive -- He's living on the inside roaring like a lion
He's alive, now I'm alive (3X) -- I will never die



I just stumbled upon this video and it resonates in my spirit so much! This conference happened less than one month ago and I believe God is encouraging us to LIVE! He's encouraging us to encourage ourselves!
To build ourselves up in our most HOLY faith and pray in the HOLY spirit as we wait for the mercy of our Lord to bring us to eternal life!! Jude1:20
He's alive and He's living on the inside of us, I love when she says, "roaring like a lion!"
These past few days I've been feeling His roar, it's like a fire in my bones and a new passion in my heart.
LIVE and let the world watch us burn!

Holy



"Do not come any closer, take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Exodus 3:5

"I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy." Leviticus 11:45

God has established that He is holy and He is calling us be holy as well. We are His children and we are to be set apart in this world.
What are we watching?
What are we listening to?
What are we saying? What are we allowing in our lives that is compromising our holiness?
Don't be foolish and think that you can participate in the world's activities and it won't affect you because it will. Just as you reap what you sow in the positive sense, you reap what you sow in the negative as well.
Be holy.
Tune into God's frequency.
Don't understand why you haven't heard from Him lately? Because He is not found in the world's frequency, he speaks to his people who are tuning their ear to hear and part of tuning your ear is to live a holy life and to know His word and seek out revelation, not just knowledge, about who God is.

We are His ambassadors here on earth. Are we representing a holy God with our lives? When our friends look at us would they recognize that we serve a holy God?
If we were arrested for being Christians would there even be enough proof to convict us?
God desires to sanctify us and He does that with our cooperation and willingness to be set apart for Him and His glory.



(i love this song and i love this video around the 5:00 minute marker when everyone is like, "o crap! we just crucified the Son of God!")

Toothbrush Revelation

Today as I was brushing my teeth, God gave me a revelation.
I recently had a conversation about cancer.  It's incredible how big of a deal cancer has become, especially in America.  I know that now more than ever we are stuffing our bodies full of unhealthy chemicals and our diets are more about sugar and more sugar than about the vitamins we need to fight off the evil bugs that get in and try to take over so we are in part responsible for our overall health, but still, healthy people get cancer.
I used to hear that God uses cancer to teach us lessons and I used to think that God was in control of everything that went on in the world, which now I know is not true at all.  God never gives anyone a disease, He is their answer to disease but God is good and nothing evil comes from Him.  So either we are giving ourselves cancer or the Devil is servin' it up. I think its a combination of the two, the Devil is servin it up and once its served to us we don't actively take authority against it.
Jesus did.
Any and every disease brought to him, he healed.
He never said, "No, this is actually from my Father, and He is trying to teach you a lesson in trust and patience."
 He told us how awesome it is for him to go because he's defeating Satan for the last time, taking back all authority, and sending His Spirit and giving us authority to do what he did. (My paraphrase)
Little do we believe Him.
Anyways, this isn't my revelation, onto the toothbrush experience:
How interesting is it that the leading cancer in women is breast cancer and the leading diagnosed cancer in men ages 15-35 is testicular cancer? (though not the deadliest in either case)
Satan's not dumb.  He tries to steal the beauty and uniqueness from a woman by stealing the health of her breasts, which are her husband's delight.  As women we give life through our breasts and are set apart from men by our breasts.  What a precious target Satan has attacked.
And men! Their manhood, their seed!  Satan wants to break men down and shatter their confidence and boldness.  He wants to disarm them so he goes straight for the goods.
I found it interesting.
And the number one killer in America, heart disease.
What a vital organ, one we've been taught to "above all else, guard!!"
I'm not saying that if we were more spiritual we'd all be fine, I'm saying look at the hard facts of how we're under attack.

This revelation inspired me to
1. Take better care of my body (the Holy Spirit's temple) and
2. Expose satan because he is a liar and he's got the church thinking that maybe God is using sickness and disease to teach them a lesson so they should embrace their diagnosis and pray that His will is done....
I'll let you in on His will, it's that all be healed, so quit praying thinking He's going to say, "Yes I did bestow cancer and heart disease on my people to teach them about how glorious I am" cuz He's not.
He's going to say remember when I died on the cross and took on ALL your sins and diseases and by MY stripes You were healed?  It's that way in heaven and I taught you to pray, "your kingdom come (its here), your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
I still get attacked and get sick but I know its not from God and I know that all I have to do is believe what He's said and my body will have no other choice than to be healed.  I am healed, he's already done what needs to be done but I have to remind myself when sickness tries to take over. There is so much importance in having a renewed mind! I have to remind it that I am the King's kid and I am seated at the right hand of God in Christ Jesus and there is no sickness there.  I have to remind my flesh that it is not first in command, that my life is in the spirit and that in the spirit I have all authority because of my Jesus' sacrifice and victory!
So let's pray for each other and operate as one body with authority.  Love those who are suffering, preach the gospel and watch God stretch forth His hand to heal.

He is my ROCK

After viewing my last post again and listening to the words at the end I see now why that was my prayer.  Recently there was a storm in my life but I wasn't shaken and I was not moved, I was not destroyed.  I know my Daddy so well that I can trust him when everything is out of my control.  When I don't understand why something is going on I know that He is going to use it for my good.  I know that God is a refiner and a cleanser, sometimes it takes fire to burn something to the ground so that God can erect something better on a flat foundation.
  My God is my Rock.  He sustained me through difficult times, He held me close and gave me vision for what would be the final result of what was taking place.  He gave me a new boldness which I have been praying for, He was so present that at times I wanted, and thought that I'd break down, I couldn't I was so at peace with Him.
  If His Word wasn't written on my heart I know that it wouldn't have been that easy.  If I had no revelation of His love, I would have done something out my flesh that would have caused me damage later.
 It's so important to know God, its so important to invest in that relationship because it will govern all of your other relationships.
We sing this song at church and though I haven't heard it in a while I woke up with it in my head:

When the oceans rage and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know (our God is an Awesome God)

I kind of thought going above the storm was too much of an easy way out but now I understand how with Him I soared above.  I still knew what was going on and it was still hard but I wasn't caught in it and it didn't soak me. He cares for us.  He is a loving Father.  My earthly dad wouldn't let me get soaked in a storm he would do all that he could to keep me dry and God has already done everything to get us through hard times, He's given us his Son, He's given us his Word and He's given us his Spirit.  All it takes is accepting and believing that what He says is true and that He is who He says He is.
