Drinking from a firehose... and loving it.

Good afternoon!... and a good afternoon it is. The snow on Market was absolutely beautiful a few moments ago. Picturesque, fluffy giant flakes all over the place. I love it :)

IHOP ONETHING was the last week of 2010. What a lifechanging experience! There was a lot of inspiring and challenging teaching to absorb, but here's a quick bullet-point run-down of the teaching and my experience - perrrrhaps I'll expound later?

(BTW... you can watch videos from the OneThing conference HERE)

1. Time management and God's priority - Corey Russel. Spoke against spirit of laziness, flippancy; REPENT and REORIENT. Immediately.
2. God's personality - Mike Bickle, Misty Edwards, etc. Christ is KING (power), BRIDEGROOM (desire), and JUDGE (zealous love).
3. Unity is not ignorance of distinctives - Stuart Greaves. "Come out of the caves"
4. Mind -> Mouth -> Heart - Shelly Hundley. WOW. What an incredible testimony. God is just amazing.
5. Bring it back to the 1st commandment - Mike Bickle. The exchange rate will never be higher... trade in temporary riches and recognition now for ETERNAL reward :) SO many testimonies of God's generosity and provision. SO COOL!
6. Ekklesia - Louie Engle. The "church" is not meant to be a building, but a local assembly of intercessory, spiritual government!
7. 7 commitments of a "forerunner" - Mike Bickle. God is calling forth people to consecrate themselves and declare Christ's 1st and 2nd coming.
8. Fasting - Wes Martin, etc. I didn't actually hear Wes' talk yet, but fasting was addressed by Mike Bickle as well. It should be a common practice in the Church as we soften our hearts toward God.

I still have a lot of digesting and application to do. I am just so thankful for God's stirring in my heart. A lot of the teaching just made sense according to scripture. I have to react to this.
