This generation is the generation of face to Face encounters. Are you not tried of doing church as normal? How about of conferences as normal? Great worship then the speaker gives a message you pray and they take offering. I don’t know about you but I AM SICK of this! We got to tarry. We got to get lost in His embrace. I truly believe this generation is going to raise up lovesick worshippers, lovesick people who will stop at nothing then to be with Him and bring Him to a dying world.
I am sick of going to conferences and getting blasted and loveified and that’s it! I want a face to Face encounter, everyday of my life. I am sick of people going to heaven in visions and encounters and coming back UNCHANGED!
His presence is addicting…
but His Person is what I am living for!

This is the generation of face to Face encounters. I was reading the Bible the other night and the Lord told me to go to 1 Samuel 3. I went there and in my translation I read out of (the Moffatts) the Bible said that when Samuel had his experience where the Lord was calling out to him, the Lord was standing by his bed! WHOA! Imagine that – the God of the universe standing by your bed? No longer His presence but His person!
Jacob wrestled with God. Moses had a face to Face encounter with God. John the Beloved rested on Jesus.
Lord we long for the manifest PERSON of you. Imagine this everybody – being at church or in a conference and the strong Kabod came in…. okay so that’s overwhelming in itself but THEN HE walks in… in all His slepdour and true glory…. whoaaaaaaaa!
Face to Face encounters breeds a generation marked with hunger, desperation, fire, intimacy, and holiness! Only face to Face encounters will do anymore – at least for me! Face to Face encounters change you! Samuel walked into his calling, Moses had the shekinah glory on his face, John was a marked lover and ran passionately after Jesus.
Face to Face will change a generation! A generation that is dying and confused – they just want love. When HE HIMSELF walks in… they will be left undone and they will begin to seek Him. They want truth and not hypocrisy!

I am after the face to Face encounter when He Himself comes in the room, not just His presence!

Everyone’s FAVORITE topic… do you not sense my sarcasm? Many people desire to live a lifestye minus the warfare. But Jesus never ever pormised a walk with Him would be simple and fun all the time, in fact He promised the opposite… Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake (Matthew 24:9)! That’s not what you wanted to hear, right?
Well, it goes beyond humans hating you take it to the next level… Ephesians 6:12 – we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood but against POWERS and PRINCIPALITIES of this present age!
What is a principality? A high ruler of the darkness. A regional, territorial, national, or international ruler of the spiritual wickedness.
What is powers? Powers can be viewed on several different levels. A power has control over people… in the natural it could be a ruler or leader of someone but powers in the heavenlies mean those dark forces that tend to bring people down through the power to try and superimpose on human beings.

Spiritual warfare is a very huge subject but I wanted to discuss two things regarding this topic.
1.) Taking all thoughts captive
2.) Putting on your armor

I have seen many Spirit filled believers go around saying spiritual warfare is hogwash. Now, I don’t know about you but I see this as demonc influence. If satan can make believers believe that spiritual warfare is nonexistant then Jesus’ bride will stop being watchful, stop interceding, and the world will fall into the darkness. I do believe there are 30 demons behind every bush – I have lived it – but I also believe Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God Who hovered over the firmament and created Jesus in the womb of a virgin – and Who fills us now – is GOD and He is ever stronger then any pesty demon HOWEVER He wants us to be wise and not fall into the leis and deceptions of satan.
So, this being said I am going to dicuss taking all thoughts captive.

It has been said that the battlefield is in the mind – this being said satan will work the hardest in your mind. The Bible says to take ALL thoughts captive – because the enemy comes and whispers into your ear thoughts and things that make you believe it is yourself but is the darkness of the depth of him.
I know it is difficult to take the thoughts captive but, you simply must – pray a simple prayer or rebuke the devil when you have bad thoughts OR think on good things! One wrong thought opens a rabbit hole for many thoughts and evenutally actions. It is important to stay on Him and not give into the lies of the enemy.

Number two, the next way to take back what the enemy has stolen is to put on your armor every day… it is an absolute MUST!
The armor will deflect the strategies of the enemy
What is the armor?
The Belt of Truth – this “belt” speaks the truth of Who He is when all the humanistics views off the world come at you.
Breastplate of Righteous – the “breastplate” is the righteous and holinesss of the Lord in you causing you to not stray into sin.
Sandals of Peace – the “sandals” represent the peace the passes all understanding – in the thick of the battle, there will be peace straight from Him
Shield of Faith – Living by faith even when all else doubt, when the doubts come at you this will be your protection.
Helmet of Salvation – You are saved once you call upon the name of the Lord and this deflects the tactics of causing you to doubt your salvation
Sword of the Spirit – the truth about Him and His Word

So, these are your weapons of your warfare – they are not carnal! I have heard people I know say the following: I’LL BEAT THOSE DEMONS UP WITH MY HANDS!
That’s foolishness the only way to counterattack the attack is by praising Him, and wearing your armor, holding your thoughts captive, and never EVER giving into the lies the enemy is trying to tell you.

Friends, we are at war – never ever believe we are not for that is the first step of full deception! Interceed, pick up your armor, put it on, hold your thoughts captive and most of all SEEK HIM!

*IT’S NOT WRITTEN LIKE A SONG, BUT I BEGAN SINGING THIS AND HE GAVE ME THE WORDS AND EVENUTALLY HE STARTING HAVING ME SAY “ME” AS IN HIM INSTEAD OF JUST HIM, HE STARTED SPEAKING 1ST PERSON YAY JESUS!*

Are you desperate? Are you hungry – come on burn on the altar. Burn from Him! The only way to win this war going on is to burn! Brighter and brighter, as you go lower in this world – the light shines so much brighter. To burn for Him, is a sacrifice, it’s a sacrifice of praise. To burn for His desires to be known, leaves you empty in the world, you get forsaken by all you know. Your spirit grows stronger as you lay on the altar…and sacrifice all you know to be in love with Him.
How else is revival gonna come? Are you hungry? Are you desperate? This is revival – burning on the altar as a sacrifice to see Him come. It’s not easy if you truly want Him – you must go lower, someone’s gonna have to burn. Don’t think revival comes so easily, someone has to be desperate. Someone has to lose themselves to find themselves in Him – are you ready to burn?
Look at the souls in the sea of people around the world – they are crying out, they don’t know why but they are desperate. Bring them life, bring them life, bring them life, bring them life! Burn on the altar for a downpour of My love. I will bring them life, life, life more abundantly. You have known me, My child, you have touched the hem of My garment, now My child would you burn for Me?
You have My blessings, I see your heartbeat for Me, but, if you are hungry for a fresh move of My Spirit, lower is the key, burning is the key. Don’t worry, I’m with you, just step out in faith – for My river to flow, you must believe.
I’m coming…I’m coming, get ready My child, I’m coming…I’m pouring out My Spirit once again, I am here, I am here, trust in Me, would you burn for Me?

Last night as I was soaking, I began to have a mind’s eye vision of Jesus… I saw Him, I smelled His Fragrance, I was there with Him – for but a second but, He had me write this poem and, this is what I was feeling when I saw my Beloved. Hope it blesses you:)

The Fragrance of Your Heart
Sweeps over my soul
That precious perfume of heaven
Enraptures me.
The scent of mryyh reaches the depths of my being,
Captivating my gaze to You.
I cry out
You are my Beloved
My heart burns for You!
Your beauty is ravishing
You gaze is all consuming.
I look towards Your Face
I feel Your embrace
I begin to cry out with a holy desperation.
Dropping to my knees
I am in awe of You
I am captivated, overwhlemed by the Fragrance of Your love.
My souls yearns as a deer that pants for water
Only You will do
Only You will satisfy this longing.
Only the Fragrance of the depths of the nearness of Your love
Will be enough to hold me over
Until I can hold You for eternity.
Can I say I’m lovesick for You, now?
Can I say I am desperate?
I am longing, yearning, panting after Your Presence
I want nothing more than to gaze into Your Eyes
Get lost in Your Smile
Look upon Your Heart
Be ravished by Your love.
You are my Beloved
The One I crave after
The One I ache for
The One I cry for when they curse You.
My soul and spirit qwake
My heart is quicken
As You walk in the room
I hunger after You
I yearn for You
Nobody else will ever do.
Your smile sets a thousant planets in motion
As they dance before their Creator.
Nothing else can satisfy the yearning of the universe
All creation testifies to know that You alone are worthy
You alone are the One we crave.
How we long to be with You
Where You are.
Nothing but You will satisfy
Let us get completely overtaken by Your Fragrance which intoxicates the essence of the universe.

I got a very awesome revelation last night from soaking….

I have seen several times how Jesus has used a hug to change people’s lives…simply and complexly…sometimes instead of praying for somebody, I just hug them and sing over them His song. I asked Him last night why a hug was so powerful that it reaches the depths of people’s hearts and heals them, sometimes physically, emotionally and spiritually. You know what He told me? He said that when He died on the cross He was hugging the whole world – His arms were outstreched as if He were about to give the world a big giant bear hug. Also, He showed me all healing comes from Him (this we know) and so since thats the case He wraps His arms around every person when we give someone a hug, so He can use healing from a hug…thats a simple revelation but blew me away! Thank You Jesus for hugging our pains away=)

So here’s a hug from Him, through me, to you all <3 (((hugs)))

You have caught me in the shadow of Your wings
You have ravished my heart with one glance of Your eye
You mesmerize me
With Your smile
I am elated
When You say my name.
You have come to rescue me.
I am transformed by the touch of Your hand
On my shoulder as I fall into Your sea of love.
Just one kiss from Your heart has consumed my being
All that I am is found in You
All that I desire comes from Your heart.
Truly I am lovesick
As You walk into the room
My gaze in upon You
My spirit jumps inside me
I am ravished by Your love
I am transformed by the kiss from Your heart.
As the sapphire seas ebb in and out
So my heart quakes to be near You now.
MY spirit inside me, is yearning to run to You
And, all my cells in my being
Are being renewed
As they gaze upon Your beauty.
I am mesmerized
Fixed upon Your eyes
Washed by the glaze of love
That overcomes me , as I see Your smile.
I am mesmerized for of infinity
Your smile
Lights up the universe.
I am mesmerized
By You!

Being lovesick is when every ounce of your inner most being, every cell in your body aches for Him. You burn, you seek, you desperately yearn to get lost in His eyes. Days and days go by and you simply get hungerier…you get thirstier.
Your heartbeat is for eternity – just to get lost in His arms… just to get consumed by His love all the time, over and over……ahhh Jesus we are lovesick!
Your mind whirls with every thought being posessed by His song, your heart stirs with every beat for every beat brings you closer to His heart.
You ache, you yearn…. Jesus we are lovesick.
You cry in your room for hours…. nothing seems to take you close enough to Him.. hours and hours of longing, and you feel dissatisfied. Jesus we are lovesick.
You don’t desire to go to conferences to get intoxicated, you don’t desire to go to get surface Christianity, you don’t desire to go to conferences simply so you can hear a man ramble on – you want Him, you want His love, you desire to go deeper. After the conference, you often leave fully unsatisified, for you know there is more.
All you want is to dance dance dance with your Beloved. All you want is to sing a song that will captivate His heart. All you want is to fall into space…for sometimes that feels closest to Him.
You have a difficult time speaking sometimes, people think you are odd or unique….but truly, you are burning inside for a deeper place…. you picture Him, you dream of Him standing right behind the person that is speaking to you.
You dance in your spirit over and over….picturing dancing with Him in heaven’s expanses. Jesus we are lovesick.
Consumed inside and out by His heart, consumed by His beauty….how you want to melt into Him every hour of the day.
Eternity is too far away for you. You ache, yearn, burn, seek His face… you are never satisified.
Jesus we are lovesick.
He dances with you over and over…He yearns for you to seek Him…. He asks His Daddy everyday -when can I be with My beloveds? Jesus is lovesick over you.
He sees a world, of believers, who go to conferences – seeking man’s approval, seeking huamn experiences…and He yearns, He craves that they would get lost in lovesickness. He sees the one who lays at the altar long after the people go. He is lovesick for you.
He is staring at His beloveds as they press in – in their rooms – He sees their heart, and how He stands above them and takes their hand… dance with me, My love…He says. For I am lovesick for you, MY bride.

Into eternity He gazes and cries out for His bride – He yearns for that day when He can be with her. Jesus is lovesick.
At the edge of eternity’s heart, Jesus and His bride are dancing the dance of lovesickness. Each waited for eternity and now that they are in eternity they dance and dance the dance of the lovesick ones. He cups His Hand under the bride’s chin, she stares yearning into His eyes. He says, “I love you, My beloved, I waited for this day since the foundations of earth.” She says, “You are all I want. “They dance and dance into eternity… this is the dance of lovesickness.

I am linking this blog to a page on my website – floodgaterevival.com so, from now on I will post several times a week – video posts and blogs! =)

It’s an interesting lifestyle when you live in the glory realm. God’s Presence and glory radiates off of you and it completely overshadows all those who you meet. So, therefore, when you are not even praying or worshipping and you are out shopping people’s lives are getting changed.

There is an interesting thing that occurs – people believe you must go up to someone and be like YOU ARE GOING TO HELL! REPENT! Fact of the matter is, when you are in God’s Spirit and Presence all the time, you go out and Holy Spirit, Who is a member of the Godhead – will convict them of their sins, you don’t need to. You may be out in public and someone will see the Light surrounding you and ask you what it is. You see our lifestyle should reflect the glory of God, even when you are just minding your business.

However, you must be prepared to live in the glory. Many believe being in the glory is all fun and games, and while there is fullness of joy that comes from being in His Presence (psalm 16:11) there is also prices that must be paid. If you truly desire to live in the “glowray” as I like to call it, you will face heavy persecution.

I have seen with my eyes, people I care about manifesting demonic powers and lashing out at me. I have gotten the most spiteful attacks against me from people… who strangely enough all sound the same and repeat the same line as the person before, when this happens over and over this is a demonic power trying to pull you down. I have been in stores where witches and warlocks, without me saying anything, came behind me and began trying to “put” a spell on me. Guys, the glory is not always about having fun and being shingy, we are in a battle and must keep our armor on. Jesus Himself said, “All the nations will hate you because you are My followers, but he who endures to the end will be saved.” (Mark 13:13 NLT) So, rejoice in the persecution, delight in the attack – it means the more you get attacked the deeper in Jesus’ heart you are!

So, living in the glory is glorious (no pun intended!) being in His Presence supersedes all else, and it is very fun too! So, you may wonder how do I get in the glory? The glory comes from living inside His heart and being trusted with all He has for you! So, go, live in His heart and the glory will come!

I think alot of people do not realize the reality of hell. Even as believers, we walk around those who are unsaved without a care, often, to see them come to Christ. Been there done that. That’s all changed for me. I’ve always desired to see the lost saved but never with such a fiery passion until this weekend. I have been under severe attack from the enemy the last couple weeks…. especially in my dream times. Dreams are often a way the Lord speaks to us. We get quiet before Him and then He shows up and shows us things. However, sometimes, the devil creeps in and haunts our sleep. This time, though, the dream creeped me out, and may have been from satan – acutally awaken a fervor in me I didnt have until recently. Saturday night, I went to bed around 3 o’clock am, having stayed up much of the night having my spiritual mentors pray for me during this season of attack. When I finally drifted into sleep I sensed a great darkness around me. It surrounded me. This darkness was deeper than any earthly darkness concieveable – I knew I was seeing hell. There was no fire like many people say hell’s like – I don’t know maybe there are different places in hell but, not in this place. I heard the demons all around… whispering. I was sick…very very sick to my stomach. I knew there was a horrid smell. I was in a jail cell….locked up, horrible unearthly insects crawled around me and near me. There are no earthly words to describe the terror and the pain in this darkness. I was fighting in my spirit to wake up but I could not for 6 hrs. I was terrorified, the reality of hell set in my soul. As I woke up, finally, the passion in my heart for the lost soared. My dream had scared me to death, at first satan was taunting me and saying, “See, you truly are not going to heaven, this is what awaits you, you should just die now because, this is your eternity.” I was tormented by those words all day, but the Lord’s Presence came and yesterday (sunday) He showed me He allowed me to experience that dream for a reason…so that my passion would be restirred in my soul and restirred it was! No soul should go to hell, the darkness, the agony are bad enough but an eternity away from Jesus is……. unfathomable. Since my dream, I have seen people differently… EVERY SOUL NEEDS SALVATION! I have seen heaven as well, and boy is it ever gorgeous. Not only is it beautiful but He is there…all around you… loving you, holding you, kissing you…… He is worth everything! So, is He worth you? Absolutely! He wants to save you from hell – and in return, you bring Him joy and happiness. If you have never asked Jesus into your heart…. there’s no better time than now – just say “Dear Jesus, I know Im a sinner, and I need a Savior. Would You come into my heart and free me and save me from eternity seperated from You? I love You Lord, please forgive me. Thank You! In Your Almighty Name I ask it AMEN”
