Tonight we had some amazing teaching and it would take a long to time relay some of the powerful truths the Lord was dropping during that time. Therefore I will tell some of the cool things the Father revealed to me after the talk.
We met in some random building near the Hotel because the conference room was being used tonight. So after the talk I went and spent some time just talking with Papa. I walked to a abandoned parking lot designed for an amusement park that shut down in 2001. This is an expansive area that makes it very conducive to sitting in silence listening to the Lords voice. I was asking a lot of questions from just to hear he Lords voice in something. I asked, "Why do You Love Me", and he just rocked me speaking truths into my heart where the Devil had fed lies. I just cried and walk and cried and walked feeling the weight of the Fathers Presence. Then I just kept on walking to bench I had ran past on my nightly runs. As I walked I asked the Lord what else he wanted to teach me and he just said,"Step by Step". I pondered that for a while then found the bench and sat down still thinking about what "Step by Step" ment. Then the Lord just laid it out for me in terms that I understand, he gave me a list.
As I went from sitting on the bench to laying on the Bench I started asking the hard questions to the Father and seeing what he says. First I asked if his plans are still to prosper and he simply said, "You just wait and See, Trust me". Then I asked, "What if you become silent for the rest of my life?", and he said, "A Mans Labor is Never in Vein, Trust Me!". These are some amazing truths that I will just toss into this post and not really explain their depth very much, just a glimpse.
After those questions I dove deeply into somethings I was needing to get off my back and let the blood of Christ rebuild within me. I stepped through a lot of issues of self-hate stepping into many lies I had believed for many years, just giving them to Christ asking him to replace me years of Pain with his new Life. As I lifted these burdens to Christ I just started to doze off into a peace. It was the Peace of the Spirit just calming my soul, my thoughts kinda slowed and I drifted off into thought that I can not even remember now. Then a plane flew over and I opened my eyes, I looked up at the Heavens and I could see so many stars, before I closed my eyes I was marveling at the beauty of the Cosmos. So opening my eyes to this new view of the depth and contrast in the heavens blew me away. Then the Lord reminded me of something he has been saying for the past few weeks, "Open your Eyes". Simply open your eyes to my truths, to the depths of my Love, to the work of the Spirit, to the power of my giftings, to the power of the Body, to the Glory of the King. Then I walked back to the Hotel with that amazing image of the Crispness of a million stars, to pen this post.

- First, Put on Foot in Front of the Other
- Second, Trust the ground to catch Me
- Third, Move forward in the Truth, The Truth that the ground is stable and I can walk.
