Twitter

I must say, Twitter is an amazing little time-waster invention :) I’ve merrily tweeted for a couple of months now – sometimes random stuff, reminders to myself, miniature posts. Nothing *important* really, but the last couple of days it’s gotten more meaningful. I know how to use it a bit better now with @’s and direct messages.

So, I’ve connected with people and prayed for a couple of complete strangers – like for 2 guys who are serving in relief efforts in LA, and someone else who was sick/having a bad day. Maybe random people pray for me, too. Hope so.

I have to wonder – is anyone using Twitter for outreach/evangelism? I’m not seeing it be as productive a medium as a forum, IM’s, or email could be… but perhaps to plant a seed here and there, or to round out conversation?

His presence is so sweet...

This morning I woke up quite early. I’d intended to sleep in, but 6 came and I was laying in bed half-awake, half asleep. I was going to try to go back to sleep, because I’ve found that if I can wake up and then fall back to sleep for an hour or two, it’s usually some of the best sleep I get.

But in that half-awake, half dream state, my mind turned to something that it shouldn’t have turned to and for a few minutes I contemplated something that is sin. Then in the deep recesses of my mind I heard a word – “Desecration” (hey! I know that Voice!) – and still in that half-awake, half dream state I spoke to desecration and commanded it to leave me.

Instantly I was awake (and I mean six shots of espresso awake) and my contemplation of that sinful thing was gone. It was like it fell like a house of cards in the wind.

So I wandered into the kitchen (Ken was still asleep) and pondered what just happened. I’m fairly sure it wasn’t a dream. So I talked to God about it, told Him I was sorry for letting my mind wander, and I felt His forgiveness (which – going back to my post yesterday about discernment, I often “feel” things God’s doing as well). Then I talked to Him about a variety of other issues going on, and I felt (and still feel!!) His presence and His love in such a powerful, tangible, literal fashion that I’ve started weeping a couple of times and at times I can hardly type… but I wanted to share with all of you what He’s up to this morning around here… what’s He doing in your hearts and your worlds today?

And even more on Todd Bentley...

I’ve been cruising blogs this morning – I started on Tim Brownlee’s blog (see last post) and started jumping from link – to link – to link – a sort of three-dimensional web that led me to lots of new places, fascinating people, and even back to a few blogs I already read (six degrees of separation, anyone?)

Found two things of interest to everyone who’s following the Lakeland Revival/Todd Bentley and the issues therein:

The first, from Pray the Revolution, discusses heresy hunters and bereans. Good take on it.

The second, from the Prayer Room blog, talks about Todd’s comments on his situation, through Rick Joyner. I’m copying the relevant portion here – but the rest of what Rick has to say is important, too.

”Todd Bentley asked me to convey his appreciation for all the prayers, expressions of love, and concern while he tries to navigate through this present situation. He is grieved by the trouble and confusion this has caused, especially to his friends, coworkers, and all who have trusted him. He wants to make a clear statement about it, acknowledging his responsibility in this and the mistakes he made, but he feels that he should first meet with Pastor Bill Johnson, who is out of the country and will not be available for a couple more weeks. He asks that you would continue to pray for him, and he thanks those who are willing to be patient. He wants to do this right and not hastily or superficially. ”

Lou Engle on Abortion @ the Call

I ran across a reference today to Lou Engle’s message during the Call (last year, I guess) about innocent blood. There’s numerous videos of it, but I wanted a transcript. I haven’t found that yet, but I did find an outline of what he had to say. Good stuff.

FUNNY - House of Prayer

Posted by Kathi at 4:53 am

So I woke up this morning with the IHOP daily devotional on the television. I auto-tune it at night before we go to bed to come on at six. I’ve become very zealous about what filters into my subconscious, but I really have a hard time sleeping without background noise. Too much time spent in the city, I guess. So I turn the telly on low volume and select shows that aren’t going to invade my mind with terrible images. Then I wake up to the music on the daily devotional and start off my day praising God. This morning’s first song was, “All I want is You – All I crave is You.” (Misty Edwards) I seldom get to watch the whole thing because I’m helping Ken get ready for work, but it’s there in the background and is always good stuff.

Anyway, for some reason my first fully cognizant thought as I stumbled out here to make the coffee was, “I bet a lot of people wonder why the House of Prayer movement does what it does” (If you aren’t familiar with the House of Prayer movement, they’re folks who pray and praise God 24/7/365, in a highly organized fashion. They call their method “harp and bowl” after a verse in Revelation 5:8; it’s basically prayer and worship together, in responsive fashion. See ihop.org for more info)

Our church isn’t affiliated with IHOP in any way, but I’ve been extremely blessed by their ministry on GodTV and their website. A friend’s church is seeking to go to 24/7 prayer but I haven’t seen him for longer than ten seconds to inquire if it’s on the same format or what (Theirs is an AoG church – a bit different doctrine than the HOPs at one major juncture (eschatology))

So I was sitting here sipping my coffee and coming into wakefulness. My morning routine consists of getting Ken’s breakfast, packing lunch, laying out clothes for him, and then sitting here at the computer running through my email and feed reader for about 15 minutes until the coffee hits. :) Lo and behold, this morning there was a long post from Tim Brownlee of “Not So Daily Timmy” titled, “MY HOUSE” shall be called a house of prayer…. that addresses this very question from an insider’s perspective.

Here’s a great little excerpt:

Isaiah 56:7 clearly says that God’s house is to be a House of Prayer for all nations. If something is called by a particular name that should mean that’s what it is known as.

Now, there’s something to consider: Is YOUR church known as a house of prayer (or is it just called that?) I’m not arguing that everyone needs to shift to this 24/7 format – but perhaps we need a major shift of focus in what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, and why we’re doing it…

I'm a laid-down lover of Jesus Christ. I write about my King and His Kingdom, the Bible, revival, healing, prophecy, faith, and more... plus I throw in recipes, tips, news and politics items, reviews, and all sorts of random things just for fun. Until recently, I was known as "Kathi"... but my name is now Kay. It's a good, God thing... :) The opinions expressed in this blog are mine and mine only - not necessarily shared by my husband, our church, my employers, or anyone else.
