life full of LIFE: My Exodus Cry

I bought this new water bottle from the Exodus Cry team when they came to screen the Nefarious documentary back in Spring but I didn't start using it till Winter break. When I started using it I got excited and I wanted to blog about it lol. Why? Because it has this mouth valve that makes drinking fun coz you have to bite it when drinking and the valve also increases the amount of water intake. So... you drink more water plus it's more fun than using ordinary water bottles plus it has a great message on it which helps spread awareness. So why is that so blog-worthy? lol and BEHOLD! It made me think of some verses below.

{What is My Exodus Cry? It's my cry for FREEDOM. My Cry for TRUTH. My Cry for REALness. My Cry for MORE. What's "2012"? It refers to the Hebrew year that begun last September so it overlaps into 2013. It's a year of changes.}

Exodus Cry 1: Out of Egypt into the desert -New Wine. New Wineskins. "Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

This is my cry for the Church (the body of Christ). My cry for renewal. For revival. We need to be refreshed by the Spirit. We need to be filled with God's glory. More of His Love, Power and Wisdom. More of Jesus. We really need more because like I said, this is a year of changes so "more" is not a supplementary option for some but a requirement, a necessity for the preservation of every believer. Check out these posts for more details: Pimp My Ride and The Kingdoms. Stuff's gonna go down in the kingdom of the world. Lotsa deception coming our way. But the church will not just be preserved but we will soar if we have new wineskins coz God's about to pour out the new wine!! So yeah we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit (aka new wine aka Full Armor of God) to be prepared so that we don't fall for the false teachers/teachings coming and the anti-christ and his false prophet side-kick that are about to rise. And it will be more fun living lives of love and power like the apostles did in the book of Acts and like Jesus did when He was on earth plus He told His disciples that we would do greater works than He did. It is really important to be prepared. Here's some confirmation I saw the other day: Spiritual Avalanche Warning. It reminded me of my Let My people go post. Church we need to wake up from religion and seek what it's actually about,... relationship. The desert season is the time to get it right. Time to wait on God for the gift of the Spirit. Seeking God more and learning to trust Him more... to trust Him fully (to love Him with our all).

"The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I havecome down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey —the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites." (Exodus 3:7-8)

Exodus Cry 2: Out of the desert into the Promised Land

So Egypt is luke-warm but the desert is hot and cold (both the oppressed and the freed deliverers are there). The oppressed have been crying out and God heard and sent deliverers to stand by them. So my cry is for unity among the deliverers and for breakthrough. My dream: UNITY! {Diversity + Equality. Real Love. Deep Love} Mark 11:171 Corinthians 12: 21-26, Acts 2:42-47 :) Related Posts: Real Identity, UNITY is brewing up!.

In short, my Exodux Cry is for all to see the Truth (be set free) and for those who have seen the Truth to see the whole Truth (to walk in freedom). This prayer is for me and you! :)

So... I lost my Exodus Cry :/ physically- my water bottle- and also metaphorically - my voice :( mid-quarter. My goal was to walk in freedom and spread the Truth and love but the fire died down because of procrastination, distraction and selfish self-defensiveness. I was "killing me softly" instead of quickly dying to myself in order to live life in it's fullness. I had lots of opportunities to be a light while in the desert but I didn't take most of them and for the ones I did, I just gave half my heart and now I have like a week left :( Why is it so painful to love? I'm re-learning to be vulnerable and to initiate with the friends I already have. The main reason I've been holding back is because it's hard for me to place myself in people's lives because I feel like I'm not needed there so I distance myself but that keeps me from expressing the love I have for them and so it's a selfish move (Stinkbug symptoms) and also since I'm about to leave it's easier to for me to just guard my heart and not pursue the depth I want. But God is soo gracious and He is soo much bigger than my failures. He will finish the work He started. I'm seeking Him for refreshment. Lord please free us up, fill us up and send us out to spread Your love. In Jesus mighty Name, Amen.

Deliver us to the Promised Land! =)
