On growing up...

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here’s what I’ve decided: There’s no such thing as a grown-up.
We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears, and all those old wounds just grow up with us. And just when we think that life and circumstance have forced us to truly, once and for all, become an adult… your mother says something…

We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we’re still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.

I’ve heard that it’s possible to grow up. I’ve just never met anyone who’s actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don’t go our way.
We whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we Hope… against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope.

You arn't the only one who hears your prophecy

I was listening to a Kris Vallotton message on my iPod yesterday at work. He said so much good stuff I cant even begin to summarize it all. But my title is one of the things that struck a chord with me. I actually found myself laughing out loud, which brought some strange looks from my co-workers. Satan listens to your prophecy, and he will do everything in his power to keep it from coming to pass.

And that is where I am now.

I hate that word and everything that it means. Because in reality, cancer is so much more than a disease. It is a tool of the forces of darkness. Satan wields cancer like a sword, and he is using it to destroy millions of people every single year. The numbers are astonishing. And we as a country have been backed into a corner in fear of it. We are trying everything in our power to keep ourselves free from this ultimate betrayal, the rebellion of our body against itself.

My mom was diagnosed yesterday; on the same day a close friend of mine lost his mom to breast cancer. This should make you angry, because this is not acceptable. It is our job as apostles to change things. In heaven there is no cancer. And we are all called to make the kingdoms of this world the Kingdom of our God.

To all of you who are praying for my mom, thank you. But this is bigger than just her. This is a spirit that needs to be bound up and sent to bow before the throne of Jesus. I encourage all of you to fast a meal and pray for the spirit of cancer to be absolutely destroyed in the earth.
