Wow, Two Posts In One Weekend!

So, I've never actually ever payed any attention to other worship leaders and songs unless it really, really struck me. Partly because I wanted my own song with the Lord, and I don't want to be brought into a "mini someone else". I want to be me, and have the Lord bring me up I guess. Recently though I've been checking out what's out there due to leading my own 2 hour worship sets to help fill up the schedule of the ministry I work at and learn the rhythms to new songs I'm learning. I have come across a couple that have just left me in awe. Not of their musical talent, or voice, or songwriting, but because of the heart, or the Spirit flowing, that I experience. I have come to the fact that I don't know Jesus at all. And I have no idea how to worship. Its always seemed the closer I get, the farther I feel away, just because of realizing exactly how big He actually is, but tonight I sit here and I am just, well, in pain really. I don't know why God has put me on a stage with a guitar, and even leading others, to praise Him. There is something that has led me to jealousy. I want to know His love for me. Like really know His love. I guess I want to understand it. I know His real, and I know what He's done for me, but I need a real revelation of this real love. I want to literally see the fire in Jesus' eyes, and I want to feel His jealousy for me. I want to see His face. I want to KNOW Him. Everyday. Every moment. I've got an ache inside for this. I feel as though I don't know Him at all. And I'm in desperation. I want to know the love He has for me so I can give Him that love back. If only I could love Him the way He loves me.

In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion!!

I am finding in my studies lately the authority of Jesus Christ. I am finding my confidence in the Lord. Though little, I am finding a zeal by the Word of God for the coming day of the Lord, and to see life brought forth in this world by the power of His name and authority. I guess one would find that by meditating on Isaiah, the books of Corinthians, Romans, and Revelation as well as Galations, Ephesians, and Phillipians. I'd say I am happy with what the Lord is showing me as I close out my journey with ZHOP over the next 2 weeks and transfer to IHOP.

....Jesus has already overcome. He has already overcome! And by this we can be an overcomer. As His life, His Spirit, in all of its glory and holiness, is strengthened and let loose inside of us and allowed to guide us. Its a miraculous and holy thing. Jesus went in like a lamb and came out like a lion. He is the conqueror. He has already won the victory. He has made a way. Now all we have to do is follow Him and partner with the will of the Father. Taking on the death, as He did the flesh, and letting all that is mortal be swallowed up by life as it bursts from the inside of us outward. We have to be on the alert putting on our armor daily as we are part of an army the Lord is raising up; for, the devil prowls around like a lion, but he is not. All the devil has is the ability to recreate and imitate what the Father has already made. He is a liar, a thief, and will find Himself burning in coals of sulfur for eternity. The true lion is Christ. Oh how great it is that He is God! He is our God and King! The one true living God. He is our leader. He is for us. He has plans to prosper us and not to harm us. And nothing can separate Him from us. Absolutely nothing. He is leading His sheep in triumphal procession spreading about His sweet fragrance through us. We must remain silent in our own will and putting to death the sinful nature, in order to be silent before our shearers as He was before His, and walk in the portion of the inexplainable love and grace He gives us. Its through humility His power is shown. Its through our weakness His strength comes. Its through listening and following that He is able to bring forth His will, for every word will come to pass and will not return void. Let us all join together in one voice, one faith, under one God in order to bring our Bridegroom back. Lets make a way for the true lion to roar from Zion! I want to hear "the rhythm of the lion of the tribe of Judah". I really, really do. Its only by following in His way that we can find it. Its only by walking out in righteousness. His ways are higher. His ways are holy! He sees the unseen, and knows all of eternity's place. He is the Alpha and the Omega. I will follow in His ways.

He was silent before His shearers, but He's coming in authority! He will not remain silent, and He will not leave His bride. Let the alarm be sounded. No weapon formed against those who carry His name and are marked by Him shall prosper as the love of Christ surrounds us as a wall. Let the banner be raised to the nations. May they plot their plans and make known their strategy, but they will not stand for God is with us! Hallelujah.

Big News

Zhop Charlotte will be closing and moving to IHOP in Kansas City, Missouri by October 17th. After much prayer, the ministry feels as though its assignment has been completed here. There are a few that feel the call to stay and continue to pray and outreach to this city, or even are being called somewhere else, but there will no longer be the title of "ZHOP Charlotte". The majority of the staff feels to transition to IHOP. I will miss being here, but I feel an excitement and joy for where the Lord is leading me, and those on staff. We feel as though it is a celebration time for finishing well here and moving to the next season.At IHOP we will be doing a lot of the same stuff we do now, with 50 hours in our schedules at the house of prayer, but the base is much larger and will have many more, diverse things we can become a part of, schooling we can take, and outreach programs we can get involved in. We will also still be living off funding so monthly funders or one time donations are still welcome. :o)

You can check IHOP out at http://www.ihop.org/

Thank you to all who have supported us, and me on a personal basis, while out here. Please continue to keep the staff in your prayers as we make the transition.

If you are interested in supporting me in funding, please message me for more details. Or you can do so securely through paypal.com by using my email kimsunday@zhop.org.

Thanks again. God bless!
