"Not For What We Can Get, But What We Can Give!"

11:23 PM by Christi Bowman

I have tasted the Lord and He is GOOD!!!

More more more I say...I want more!! I have seen the Holy Spirit work in and through me...He has let me taste that. I am at a weekend, here in GA, where I see people walking in their anointing and I stand in awe. Kevin and I experienced a powerful time in prayer with our prayer partners. God gave this couple the awesome ability to call out personal issues that they could have known nothing about on their own, and then they claimed healing over us in the power of Jesus' name.

There is power in His name and it is refreshing to see it and be a part of it.

Kevin has been healed from the devastating effects of his wheat allergy. His celiac is GONE and Kevin cannot wait to eat all the waffles he can eat tomorrow morning at breakfast!! He was also given visions about what was holding him back and he was told that "hell came for him at an early age to steal, kill, and destroy." That ground was taken back and Kevin was able to receive from the Holy Spirit and give up control.

Everything about my past was called out and confirmed by people who have never heard me talk about any of it. I was told that my parents are incapable of a healthy love relationship and that they did not protect me. It was so incredibly freeing to hear God confirm that to me via people who knew nothing about all the pain I have had to walk through and the buckets of freedom I have had the privilege, as a beloved daughter of The King, to dance in this year. It was indescribable to witness, awesome to be apart of, and incredible to hear.

I want more. I have been crying out for more!!!

"I want more, more of you Lord!!!"

And then, via a shameless plug, I came across Jeff Goins' article, "Q&A with Eric Bryant", in Neue and I read:

"Jesus' invitation was not for what we could get, but what we could give to the world around us."

Heard.
Received.

Thanks Jeff...and Eric!!
