{Day 12}

Today was the second day my whole time here that the alarm clock was actually awake before me. And, truth be told, I didn't actually wake up. I ate breakfast, took a shower, went to church. Jeremy Riddle &; Melissa Wise-How led, and Eric & Candace Johnson spoke. Highlights:
  • The higher that we build, the more important it is what we build on.
  • The reason you're free is so that you can love someone beyond what the law allows.
Walked home and went back to bed for three more hours.

And still felt tired when I woke up.

Made some good phone calls, chilled in the hammock. And then it was time for evening church. Chris Quilala and Jenn Johnson led.

Then it was time for the teaching. Kris Vallotton. {Someone at my house was saying how they saw a t-shirt that said, "'That's a good word right there.'" - KV" ... If you ever see one of those shirts - I want one.} Highlights:
  • Your weapon is between your teeth. {The weapon being your tongue and its ability to make prophetic declarations.}
  • Molehills often become mountains by your words, when your words should be making molehills of mountains.
  • "When you believe something that isn't true, it becomes true in your life." - Kris Vallotton
  • When you're supposed to be telling mountains to move and you tell yourself that you're stupid... {you finish that thought}
  • {When you hear encouragement or prophetic declarations over your life and dismiss them because they don't feel true}, they don't feel true because you're believing a lie.
  • "I'm always in a valley because I keep talking to my molehills and they become mountains." - Kris Vallotton {giving an example}
  • "Grumbling is socially acceptable in the church, but it won't get you into the promised land." - Kris Vallotton
  • Consider it joy when you're in a trial so that you don't perpetuate the trial.
  • A lot of people are raised from the dead {saved} and then build a house in the graveyard.
  • "How do you become a perfect man? By not stumbling what you say." - Kris Vallotton
  • Your tongue determines the direction of your destination.
  • Once I open my mouth to curse, what was earthly and natural becomes demonic.
  • "Complaining in the Kingdom doesn't bring you candy."
  • "When you complain, you draw demonic activity into your life."
  • When you complain, you're actually saying, 'I don't believe God.'
  • "God isn't the light at the end of the tunnel. He's the light in the tunnel." - Kris Vallotton
  • We can't exaggerate God's love for us.
I felt so energized after the evening church service. I'm a bit tired now, and I'm about to go to bed, because bed is good, but I'm a far cry from who I was this afternoon. Just needed a second dose of Bethel to get me jazzed. Much more tomorrow! :)
