I've applied some of my favorite previous blogs on this site, and henceforth this is where all of my new blogs will be posted.

Henceforth
I have decided that Myspace is a futile attempt at a blogging site. I have been searching for a new website on which to portray my ramblings and thoughts and journals, and have landed that plane on Blogger, for the time being... At least until I break off the spirit of laziness and create my own website.

Simply Peace
No other word can describe it, and yet, "peace" seems too simple and ordinary for how I am trying to express how I feel right now....well, let's see what the Dictionary has to say:
God has literally provided an "open Heaven" season for my life right now. I can feel this peace literally dripping off of my soul I am so saturated in it. If you had talked to me not even a year ago, I would have told you that I didn't like what I was going to college for. I hated that I was still living at home. I was depressed that I had so few actual heart-to-heart friends. I knew that what I was doing was not God's plan for my life, and that He had so much more for me. It is so awesome to know that where you're living, what you're doing, and everything you're going through (good and bad) is God's direct will over your life. I have not experienced so much peace in my entire life, it is so entirely amazing!
Just recently, He opened the opportunity for me to have a potential job at IHOP in the future, combining my graphic skills and my passion for God in an awesome combination. If this works out, He will also have provided an opportunity for me to switch over to FMA, and pursue Him musically. He has provided me an opportunity to receive guitar lessons for free by one of the coolest guys in the world (thanks, Drew!). He has shown up to me on new spiritual levels while speaking my prayer language to Him. While interceding for people, He has given me spiritual authority over different spiritual realms in my own life and others. He has brought me so many awesome and wonderful life-long friends. He has made me laugh at His sense of humor, smile at the amount of love He provides, cry at how much grace He has given me in my life, and stand in awe at the amount of power He gives to those who stand in meekness and submission to His Will.
He is my lover, my friend, my father, my bride, my savior. He gives and He takes away, and He shifts the seasons of our lives. He has all authority over satanic and demonic realms, no matter how bad the situation can seem. He is Jesus, the God of all Creation itself. Oh how I long to praise Him more and more, even in this corrupted, fallen body and mind..... I cannot wait to praise Him with a renewed, uncorrupted, fully-functioning mind and ressurrected body!
He looks like Jasper and Sardius, He gave His Blood and Water. Yes, He who has seen me has seen the Father!
Jesus is God. Amen.

Smack
Last night was probably the most meaninful prayer and worship experience I've had since my move to Kansas City - Actually, probably in my entire life.
Overwhelmed with homework piling up, and many other situations going on in my life right now, I walked back into the prayer room last night to Corey Asbury's set. It was pretty on fire right away, so I was worshipping with what oil in my lamp I had.
Tired eventually, and just as I was about to sit down and pull out my laptop to attempt to get some work done, I hear a ton of cracking up going on behind me. I turn around to see a huge mass of people dancing, in-sync to the music. The prayer room went in an uproar of dancing and singing and prophetic worshipping. I felt a tug to go back and join, and though I felt like it would be idiotic and I'd look like a complete retard doing it, I went anyway. I stumbled the first few times, trying to get in sync with everyone else, but I eventually caught on, and started having a blast.
The prophetic worship went on for who knows how long, and eventually, Corey started up the chorus, "No more shackles, no more chains, no more bondage I am FREE...." (with Matt Gillman singing "Where the spirit of the Lord is THERE IS FREEDOM"). Right about here is when I just absolutely broke LOOSE. God revealed a prophetic dancing and singing spirit to me, and I just broke free and worshipped Him, not caring about anyone around me (especially because almost the whole prayer room was feeling the same way!). God broke many chains and shackles last night, and I've never felt freer to worship Him! I'm pretty sure that was the biggest workout I've had in my entire life too (sorry, Garry ;).
The set ended in a huge uproar of laughter and dancing and jumping and high praises and shouts to God, I thought I was gonna lose my voice! Afterwards, I still hadn't gotten enough, so I went to a friends house and we broke loose in more worship and dancing and prophecy. Had some fun there too, and got to talking to one of my friends about what I'd been struggling with, and how God just totally set me free. He prayed with me and prophecied over me, and helped me to grow in this even more, and gave me some good ideas for meditating on the Word.
It was an absolutely fantastic finisher to a GBF, and the huge wall that I've smacked into recently was completely crumbled down last night. I'm free to worship Jesus, and if you can hear anyone in pain, it's probably Satan, since all the bricks from that big nasty wall just came hurtling at him. ;)
Peace and Love,
Jarrod
