Abstract Expression - Overwhelming Love In His Presence

YESHUA MY KING...
Each night before I close my eyes
I reach for you
And you never fail me.
How wonderful you are
There really are no words
For your majesty.
And your presence floods in
Like an overwhelming wave
As I do my best to tell you
How much I love you.
And you listen!
You take it all in and send it back
And I am beside myself in tears
And the overwhelming presence
Of your love.
You showed me the earth
In the palms of your hands,
Forever watching, forever loving.
Soaked in the oil of worship
I drift off to sleep.

-G.E. Johnson

Abstract Expression - Relationship With My Abba

ABBA...
This time
It was fatigue.
I wondered into your throne room.
I wore a linen tunic,
My fro all over the place.
And there you sat
On your throne
As radiant as ever.
I sat between your feet
And pulled the hem of your robe around me.
Without a word
You reached down and stroked my hair
And I wept
Because there is no touch as kind as yours.
I told you everything
That my tired soul could remember
And I drifted off to sleep.

-G.E. Johnson

Release The Oil: A Prayer For The Release Of God's Spirit

2 Chronicles 7:14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

A Prayer For The Release Of God's Spirit

**Always begin with worship. One of my favorites is OVERFLOW by Jenn Johnson & the Bethel Praise Team. The words remind us that overflow begins with us individually.**

PRAYER

Precious Father, thank You for listening to our every cry and counting our every tear. You are the source of our joy. You are love. We thank you and worship you with our entire heart. I stand before you acknowledging and worshiping your precious Son Jesus, the King of Kings. My King, there is something that your people need and according to Philippians 4:19 You listen and attend to all that we need. You are our provider and our strength. I sing to You in this hour that we can not survive on yesterday's presence of your Holy Spirit. We need greater than the measure we've had. OVERFLOW in the name of Yeshua, Jesus Our Lord!

Crack the dams in every area that may be bound up by the enemy of our souls. Let them crumble under the weight of your release from heaven. Let the rivers rise this day with living water in the areas of the love of your Word, revelation, wisdom, and holiness. Wake up every dead seed in the hearts of men and accelerate fruit from every plant and every tree in your territories. Hear our hearts even when our voices are small. Hear the hearts of those who love you! Blast back every enemy army with your Glory and let no harm come near us as we advance with the banner of Godliness. For You we live. Amen.

Breaking Down The Barriers: How Do I Forgive & Claim My Healing?

As I continue to work on "Discovering The Shepherd," I think about the many things that hinder Christian believers from experiencing the fullness of their relationship with God, particularly His love and His favor. In fact, one of the main reasons that I am writing this book is to help believers gain understanding of their relationship with the Shepherd of the Psalm. My hope is that with this understanding, every reader of the book will be drawn into deeper relationship with God and will get to the place where they are living in His fullness.

Recently in prayer, I asked the Lord to reveal to me one of the main things that was standing in the way of this happening in the life of every Christian believer and He answered very simply, "Forgiveness." This really resonated in my spirit because you need only turn on your local news to get a glimpse of how wounded people are inside. Childhood wounds, relationship wounds, abuse wounds, divorce wounds... choose any of those and you can probably name 10 people suffering right now from one or more of these issues. No matter what the nature of the wound is, the story is always the same: someone at some point caused the person harm and left them wounded.

So what does this have to do with forgiveness? Well, Jesus specifically instructs us to forgive those who have hurt us and I believe He pointed this out to me as a major hindrance for believers because He sees that we really struggle with keeping this instruction. In fact, the topic became so deep that I ended up writing a complete new study on it that I want to share with you. Here's what the study covers:

*WHAT EXACTLY IS FORGIVENESS? (I think you may find that it's not exactly what you think it is)
*WHY SHOULD I FORGIVE & HOW DOES IT BENEFIT ME?
*WHY CAN'T I JUST TAKE REVENGE?
*HOW EXACTLY DO I FORGIVE?
*ARE THERE EASY STEPS THAT I CAN TAKE TO GET STARTED?

For this study, I would like to take a week and interact with you each day through video and written notes in order to break down each of these topics. I also have an Amazon best selling book on forgiveness from a wonderful Christian author that I would like to give each participant. Is this something that would interest you? Do you need help understanding forgiveness or getting started with the process? I am currently still writing volume 3 of "Discovering The Shepherd," but I am willing to take time to set this course up if it will be helpful to someone who is ready to be healed from past hurts and move on to a more fulfilled future in God.

IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING A FORGIVENESS COURSE STUDY, please submit your information via the form below. If there is enough interest, I will go ahead and set the course up. It will take place online and will be accessible from any computer or device with internet capabilities. I look forward to sharing all the information that I have with you and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey to a closer relationship with the Shepherd!
