Freedom Hits Like Fire

Freedom Hits Like Fire

Freedom hits like fire,
Over empty space,
To lift the eyes of those forsaken,
Into a new embrace.

For he's taken the broken pieces,
And consecrated me,
With His deep blue fire,
Set me completely free.

The demons that once had hold of me,
Were destroyed by Holy Light,
Cast out by Holy Fire,
Out into deep cold night.

They once had hold my eyes,
My hands, my mind, my soul,
But the Father broke the bonds,
That brought me down to Sheol

Now I am free worship,
The very one who set me free,
No power formed on this earth,
Is able to take hold of me.


Yesterday, on September 12, 2007, God showed up. He revealed Himself to me as the Abba Father. My Father. My dad. Where my earthly father may have failed to do certain things with me, show me certain things, tell me certain things that I needed for later on in life, God showed up and healed those areas. Yesterday in class, God showed up, and our class ended and turned into a massive prayer meeting. Demonic powers in peoples lives were utterly BROKEN yesterday, and as equally as important, my life.

God set me free from the things of my past, completely and one hundred percent. Demons that had control over my life were cast out, and what was left was a broken boy, with voids that needed filling. Well, that's where the Father issue broke in, and healed those areas that needed healing...that I didn't even think needed healing only hours before. God struck me, and I fell, and was filled with images of my earthly father, doing things with me as a boy that He never really did with me, things I needed to become the man God wanted me to become. Freedoms I needed, disciplines I needed, conversations I needed. God made me a little child again, and did those things in my mind before me, and became my daddy. I was a little boy, and He was my daddy, and I didn't care, because He was the strongest daddy in the world!

As we broke out in songs and worship, singing in the spirit, healing also broke out in the crowd. So, having already been completely healed on the inside, I began to pray over my right shoulder, that was still damaged from a skateboarding accident about a year ago this month. Ever since that accident this arm has been weaker, and hurt when put in certain positions, or lifting certain things. As I prayed, Allen Hood said "I feel a burning in my left shoulder...someone's shoulder is going to be healed today." Though it was my right shoulder that needed the healing, I continued praying. Suddenly, I can't explain it, I felt something similar to the feeling of "cold electricity" flow jolt through my shoulder and down my arm, and it was instantly healed. I remember, as I was praying, just suddenly saying "whoa," out loud, as I felt that, and was absolutely shocked! It's amazing what a deadly weapon is formed when you combine faith and prayer.

God showed up to me yesterday and totally transformed my life in one day. Now my Ziklag is truly burned down, and I step forth into the next journey of my life in God, literally.


Oh God of Jacob, Chris Tomlin:

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob




John 17:24 - Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
