living it.

"...They laugh at 9-5 little prisons. They could eat caviar on Monday and crusts on Tuesday. They wouldn't even notice. They know the meaning of the Matrix, the way the west was won. They are mobile like the wind, they belong to the nations. They need no passport.. People write their addresses in pencil and wonder at their strange existence. They are free yet they are slaves of the hurting and dirty and dying. What is the vision ? The vision is holiness that hurts the eyes. It makes children laugh and adults angry. It gave up the game of minimum integrity long ago to reach for the stars. It scorns the good and strains for the best. It is dangerously pure.

Light flickers from every secret motive, every private conversation. It loves people away from their suicide leaps, their Satan games. This is an army that will lay down its life for the cause. A million times a day its soldiers

choose to lose that they might one day win the great 'Well done' of faithful sons and daughters.

Such heroes are as radical on Monday morning as Sunday night. They don't need fame from names. Instead they grin quietly upwards and hear the crowds chanting again and again: "COME ON!"... read the full vision from HERE

Not yet laughing at 9-5 little prisons, but more and more I see my generation longing for another way. They are wanting to spread the light, to live in love, to give themselves for truth. We cannot yet travel without passports but people are called more and more to leave their houses and sharing life, leaving their privileged lives. Dancing for the nations and better is one day, one night with the One who created us, than any treasures of the world. Oh come Jesus, come, I see an army that has risen, those who where meant to be only bones, remains, ruins of glory, are becoming living flesh. Army that marches on it's knees. Painful but shining vision.

keep on...

"As we celebrate the holidays, let’s make the most of moments of leisure to enjoy God’s presence and to re-align ourselves with his plan for a better world. Whether it’s expressed in whispered words of gratitude lying on a sun lounger, or singing our hearts out in a 24-7 Prayer Room, let’s continue to pray like it all depends on God and live like it all depends on us. Why? Because YES we want a better world but NO we can’t wish it into being, and we can’t think it into being, and we can’t rebrand it into being, and we certainly can’t work it up by trying our hardest to be nicer little ‘humanisms’! The better world we long for cannot be found in the mirror. That’s why we ask Jesus Christ to displace our selfishness and sadness with his unparalleled grace and joy."

"What do we worship? In a culture where people spend themselves for fame, to accumulate stuff and to gain the greatest experience where is the generation rising up for Jesus? Brian Heasley from 24-7 Ibiza calls us to prayer for workers for the harvest across Europe"

listen to Carla.

and say amen.

I want to see.

I want to see.

I want to see people in fire,
burning,
but without being consumed.

I want to see prayer and worship
married with justice and mission.

I want to see my generation
living true to their hearts
to stop faking and pretending
and feeling sorry for ourselves.

I want to see my generation
to carry each other,
to encourage and to empower,
to be honest and transparent
and pursue holiness
and tear down facades.

I want to see my generation
to stop worshiping the idol of materialism
to stop worshiping the idol of alcoholism
to stop worshiping the idol of individualism

I want to see my generation
to stop seeking acceptance from
work and positions of power
to stop seeking intimacy
from one night relationships

You can call me a dreamer
You can call me a preacher
You can call me a idealist

Perhaps you are right
But I want to learn to make a difference
to stir an evolution that makes a permanent change
silent revolution.

Oh Lord please grant me with wisdom
so I would not judge but love
so I would not presume but get to know
so I would not hide but learn to be present

And first of all,
I want to know You Lord
and hear you and feel you
and live in all this
from inside out.

awhile.

I woke up this morning,
missing people and missing places.
It's like I'd be able to smell
a wind that is blowing
and there is something new in the air.

I pray that I would have discernment,
when it is time to take a next step
and jump and ride in the wild wind.

I pray that I would have a part to play
in what my Lord is building.

I pray that He would take care of my family,
that is so far and wide spread,
Lord, please bless my brothers and sisters today,
in Israel, in Finland, in Macedonia, in Iceland,
in the USA, in the UK, in Mexico,
in the Netherlands, in Sweden.

where do you come from.

A friend commented to me once:
"...you have got this skillful ability to creatively transform in your appearance, bringing forward a section of your visible personality, like an other part of the coloring of a rainbow. Sometimes you got me looking twice, before I see it is You! :)"

From Wikipedia:
Social identity is a theory formed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner to understand the psychological basis of intergroup discrimination. It is composed of four elements:
Categorization: We often put others (and ourselves) into categories. Labeling someone a Muslim, an Emo or a soccer player are ways of saying other things about these people.
Identification: We also associate with certain groups (our ingroups), which serves to bolster our self-esteem.
Comparison: We compare our groups with other groups, seeing a favorable bias toward the group to which we belong.
Psychological Distinctiveness: We desire our identity to be both distinct from and positively compared with other groups.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, ...."
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
(Genesis 1:26a-27

To be me is to journey in deeper with my Creator.
Another friend said, if God wants a water melon He gives it six months,
but if god wants an oak it might take 60 years.

It's not so much about fitting or not fitting in to boxes
but I think it's natural to dress to my mood or occasion
or reflecting the thing I'm doing at the moment.

Paul writes:
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn't take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I've become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn't just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!
(1 Cor. 9:19-23 MSG)

I think I'd like to more live in a way that I would be able to be present and meet with people.
I would like to be able to express Christ to all people, to let them feel that they are
in the centre of His love.

And I'm looking forward to grasp even deeper that my identity is in Christ,
and in Him in all things redeemed to him.
