What Love Sees – Part 2

Just a fair warning, this post may also ruffle a few religious feathers.

After a day packed with love-encounter after love-encounter, it was glorious to head back to PrideFest. I was so full of anticipation of what God might do. It was just four of us this time, with only Chelsea being one of the ones who had come with me the day before, but I was confident Love would shine through us again to this community. After arriving at the park, our team walked the loop prayerfully once more. Our first encounter was with two men and their beautiful dogs. We asked them if we could practice giving encouraging words to them and they said yes. But once we explained that we were learning to hear God’s voice for them they told us that they weren’t into religion and told us to have a good day.

What Love Sees

Just a fair warning, this post may ruffle a few religious feathers.

As the crew of seven of us walked through the checkpoint at the Denver Gay PrideFest, we were as prepared as we could be. In a two-hour session, I had walked the team through a crash course in the heart of God for this community, the prophetic, spirit-led evangelism and how to diffuse confrontation in that setting. For some, the training was reinforcement for things they had already been taught.  For others, this was the very first time doing any of this.

Las Vegas Love Impact Report | A New Love Opportunity

{Hi again! Matthew and I were thinking it was about time to fire up the old blog and light it up with some new glory tales. For a change of pace, Matthew is going to be sharing this time around.}

I (Matthew) would like to thank everyone that supported Amy and I on our most recent Love Impact outreaches! Earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to help lead a love-loaded team to Las Vegas, bringing massive love impact to the strip. (Amy felt led to stay behind and lead some of her own glory escapades, which we’ll update you about soon.) During the day we helped train the team to release love impact through power and prophetic evangelism at night. It was a powerful time! We saw over 11 salvations and 50 healings and many touched deeply by the prophetic.

When Love Invades…

My friends and I recently went to a low income neighborhood on a mission: to release massive love. Mission Accomplished. We saw Love Himself invade this low income neighborhood as we setup with a team of about 75-100 lovers of His friends in a park right in the middle of three government-subsidized low-income apartment complexes. We distributed food, clothes, raffled off gift items from local businesses, barbecued, and hosted live worship, prophetic and healing teams and fun for children and youth.

Glory Log Volume1, Issue1

…Because miracles are becoming our norm and I don’t want to forget a single one. {But I’m pretty sure I did this time.}

January 6 ::I went with friends to go love on some people at the movie theatre. We gave encouraging words to this lady and her kids. She had been hurt by the church pretty badly it seemed, but as we spoke over her and asked for forgiveness for the ways the church had hurt her, she softened. We went to King Soopers later and we gave encouraging words to these three early-college aged guys. They were pretty blown away and we asked if they’d like to experience God’s presence. Fun times.

Restored

I have been rolling this revelation around in my mind and heart for a while now, letting it serve as a wrecking ball for anything less than the royal position I’ve been restored to. Because I have been restored. So what does this restoration mean? According to Danny Silk’s Culture of Honor,

An old meaning of the word “restoration” is to find someone with a royal bloodline who has been removed from the throne and then restore the person to that throne– to a position of honor….

When God restores those who have repented, His process of restoration looks like reestablishing a royal family member in his or her place of rulership and honor. The restored believer can say, “I am now a son of God again.” Restoration for the believer is always a restoration of relationship, because restoration is defined by the cross, and restoration to relationship is what the cross did.

I’m learning the reality of the cross and the work that it accomplished in my life. As I enter into that reality more and more, I become increasingly aware of who I am as a daughter. I feel things shifting, not just within, but around…

For all of creation is longing for the revelation of the sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:19).
