So this is what we are called to do....our job description...to live backwards, upside down, and absolutely impossible. Isn't that just like God? The funny thing is that to Him, it is totally forward, right side up, and not only possible, but NORMAL.
So...are there really people who have chosen to live completely "unfashionable" in this society? Jesus did. He said that in order to live, we must die. In order to find life, we must lose it. Though He was rich, He became poor. Though He was King, He became a servant to all. It is a decision to go as absolutely low as possible, placing yourself in a posture of complete dependence on the One who is fully dependable.
You see...When you know that the Creator of the Universe truly wants you to access everything He is and literally overtake you with abundance, you don't have to promote yourself. You don't have to strive. You don't have to walk in fear and doubt. You simply believe that you are accepted, loved, cherished, and not only in relationship, but actually co-laboring with the One who is withholding NOTHING from you.
So, what do you say? Shall we live totally "unfashionable" in this society, daring to believe that God will exalt us, provide for us, surround us with favor, and let His power be displayed through our lives? I'm in....are you?
CKE
What happens when a hungry group of men and women come together for one purpose...His Face! The Word of God infused our worship as the fragrance of Heaven filled the room. In a prophetic act, we released our will to Him and stepped over into total dependence on a trustworthy God, with NO BACK-UP PLAN.
The men of CKE got totally blasted as the women surrounded them and spoke to the greatness of God in their lives...calling them to be men of integrity, purity, lovers of the Word, worshipers, and leaders with Kingdom purpose.
S.W.I.M.
Last week in Columbus Circle, 6 radical men and women broke through the facade of happiness, wealth, and success to let people know that God loved them and had a plan for their lives. It was a beautiful encounter that they never expected, but I know they will never forget. Prophetic words and miraculous healing happened right in the lobby of the Time Warner Center.
God is so good and this is THE GOOD LIFE!!!!
20 Representing Millions!!!
What happens when 20 hungry people come together for ONE PURPOSE...HIS FACE!!!!
The room could hardly contain the heart and passion for MORE of Him...GREATER measure of His Glory...ABUNDANCE of souls into the Kingdom...Love RESOUNDING in our worship...His Word REVEALED...More Lord!!!!
God opened up the WORD to us around the room in a beautiful way:
- Rom 8:38 "...Nothing shall separate us from the love of God..."
- Num 6:24-26 "...the Lord make His face shine upon you..."
- Isa 64:1-4 "...make your name known...Nations tremble at Your Presence..."
- Mark 8:1-10 "...Jesus had compassion on the multitude...fed 4000 with 7 loaves and a few small fishes...They ate and were FILLED (satisfied)."
- Rom 8:15 "You did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of Adoption by whom we cry out, ABBA, ABBA."
TENSIONS OF 2 WORLDS
We are living in the tension of 2 worlds....ONE where we are completely satisfied in Him and ONE where we are soooo ravenously hungry for MORE of Him. Where there is friction....stuff happens. There was an illustration of one substance on it's own that just "is", but when you put it together with something completely different, they become explosive together.
The tension of these 2 worlds have come together tonight to create:
- An "energy-rich" environment
- An explosive "creativity-rich" environment
- An "idea-rich" environment
- A "fertile-rich" environment
PROPHETIC WORDS
- "I am planting you in this rich soil...digging out the old, stale, hard soil. He is placing us into new soil, that is full of life, oxygen, and food...Transplanting equals Transformation in the Spirit"
- "There is something deepening...there is a deeper unity and camaraderie...it's a new day with new meaning and new purpose. It's deeper than yesterday. It's fresh. It's alive. It's new. It's fertile. It's growing. It's deep. Things got cut away, so that things that are only of God can be brought to the next level. He is pruning us all to move forward unhindered and unencumbered. Be willing to lay on the operating table as long as it takes. He is getting us to the place of who we REALLY ARE. I am GLORIFIED when you bear much fruit!"
- Isa 45:8 "...Heavens rain down righteousness...let the earth open...let them bring forth salvation and let righteousness spring up together....I, the Lord, have created it."
ABIDE - Every answer for every question is found in this place!
- John 15:1-16 "I am the true vine and my Father is the vine dresser...ABIDE IN ME as I ABIDE IN YOU..."
FREEDOM
- Laugh in the face of the enemy
- See yourself free...What do I look like FREE? See it! Believe it! Let that vision be on the forefront of everything else you see and do. Hold onto that vision TIGHT and FAST.
- It all boils down to "Believing"

Love Encounters All Over Columbus Circle!!!
Last Thursday night, there were "Love Encounters" happening all over Columbus Circle! It was sooooo awesome.
We began the evening by praying together and asking God for the "prophetic clues" for our Treasure Hunt. You could feel the love beginning to grow in all of our hearts as we asked God to "open our eyes beyond the exterior to see those who were blind, hurting, broken-hearted, and in need." Many came that night to go shopping, get a cup of coffee, or just relax...THEY GOT JESUS!
Here are some of the testimonies:
- We talked to a lady in Starbucks who was Buddhist. She wanted prayer for her parents to have long life.
- There was a young lady and her friend by the name of Emily in Whole Foods who wanted prayer for a job. The girls sat down at the table where they were eating and prayed for both of them, who were totally receptive.
- We prayed for a woman in a wheel chair who had just arrived today with her daughter from Germany for a 10 day vacation in NYC! I prayed for healing for the mother and a wonderful trip. What a welcome for them and first impression!
- We prayed for a pregnant woman working at Bebe. I first told her how beautiful she was and then I asked her if I could pray for the baby and the birth. What mom wouldn't want prayer for that?! I sensed she really appreciated it and needed the encouragement.
- Spoke to a Muslim man about Jesus. That Jesus came to die for our sins so we could be with Him in Heaven. It was probably the first time he'd ever heard about Jesus. I prayed that the Lord would reveal himself to him and he thanked me! WOW!!!!!
- Tonight we told many people that Jesus loved them, God wasn’t mad at them, and that He was in a good mood!! I saw a guy by the name of Ray walking on the third floor of the mall, and then I saw him again later downstairs. I told him we were treasure hunting and that he wasn’t on my map at all, but since this was the second time I had seen him, I knew it was God. I was able to talk to Him about how amazing God’s love is. He said he knew that God has sent me because he needed to be reminded that God remembered him.
- I feel like everyone I spoke to and prayed for received it and felt blessed. Once I started stepping out, it got easier and easier. I was so encouraged to know that I was being a vessel for the Lord. It was a lot of fun!
- At the end of the evening as we met to share testimonies, one of the team members had just arrived, and missed the outreach. She was wearing an animal print jacket, which happened to be one of the clues on our list. We laid hands on her and thanked God for touching her body because she had been sick and in lots of pain for days. She was instantly HEALED!!! Praise God. She thought she was coming to go "Treasure Hunting", but instead, she was the Treasure." YAY GOD!!!

GOD KISSED US WITH HIS PRESENCE!!!
The last three CKE meetings have been rich with wisdom and revelation as we surrendered our worship as incense to the Creator of the Universe.
Here are some of the prophetic words proclaimed into the atmosphere:
- There is a Spirit of Expectancy that is opening the door for a Supernatural move of Holy Spirit.
- Song: I will go free, because "Free people free people."
- There is an open Heaven over us!
- The younger generation humbled ourselves in a prophetic act to the older generation of Generals who have gone before us to prepare the way. We surrounded them and prayed a blessing over their lives as they continue to be the Spiritual Mothers and Fathers to this generation of revivalists. They responded, by surrounding us and praying a blessing over us. It was a beautiful act of unity and LOVE!!!! God is breaking down the generational barriers as we submit to one another in love, and selflessly move together in genuine desire for His Presence.
- There are books and manuscripts in this room, just waiting to be released!
- "New territory...every place the sole of your foot shall tread...I have ALREADY given you." (Joshua 1:8)
- There is HUGE POWER that is released in the Testimony of what God has done to prophetically propel us into faith for the next opportunity to see Him move. Rev 19:10 "The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy."
- NO LIMITS!!! The "Do Not Enter" tape has been ripped off. NO LIMITS!!!
- New songs were birthed and written.
Every time we meet, the atmosphere gets richer and richer. What an honor to do Kingdom Business with amazing men and women who are sold out to a pursuit of His FACE above all else!!!

The Most Explosive CKE Yet!!
Last night 15 people gathered for our seventh CKE event. The atmosphere was filled with expectation & we came prepared for God to speak & move! And HE did...beyond our expectation!! Some of the key words released last night were:* Supernatural Unity is happening among us, which paves the way for a massive move of God, like that of Azusa Revival...but it'll be even greater because of the times we live in!
* God knows what He has invested in us and He's putting a demand on His investment. He's a wise Businessman!
* All of us are LEADERS - it's like right here in this room we're at a Round table at the White House
* II Cor. 4:7 "We have this treasure in earthen vessels so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God."
* Our obedience is our anointing...out of obedience comes blessing
* What's in your hand? Surrender the 5 Loaves & 2 Fishes in your hand & I will bless, break & multiply it...so what's in your hand?
* Reign in my Authority in what I've called you to do
* Grab the scepter...when Egypt was in famine & crisis - God set Joseph as the leader with the answers. So grab the scepter & rule in what God has called you to do!
* Daniel 3 - Three Hebrew young men who did not compromise even though they lived in an evil empire
* No more excuses!!
* No can define us...because they didn't design us!
* The power of Creation is in your hands. Just as He created & FASHIONED the world out of nothing...He has empowered you IN HIM, to influence your world with His creative power!
SIGNS & WONDERS IN MANHATTAN
Once again, God exceeded our expectations at the S.W.I.M. event in Columbus Circle and Central Park!!! Eleven radical lovers of God decided to get outside of the "norm" and came expecting a move of God. The week had been filled with pointed prayer towards this landmark day in midtown NYC.The team met together and garnered lots of attention as we prayed for and wrote down the specific "clues" as to where we were to go and who to minister the love of Jesus to. We then broke into small groups of 2 and spent the next 3 hours "changing the atmosphere" in Columbus Circle.
Previously in prayer, God had shown us a picture of a piece of cardboard with "Need a miracle? Free Prayer!" on it. The response was amazing. Nine different people came up to the group with the sign and asked for prayer. It was awesome to see the results from a strategy given by Holy Spirit.
Jay, a Jewish man, was very open and receptive and asked for prayer for family reconciliation. Lauren and Jana were blown away that someone would care enough to tell them about the love of God. Natalie and Emily had just arrived from Ohio and asked for prayer for a Rabbi they had met on the plane who was on his way to minister in Darfur. God totally touched them as well!!!
We prayed for skateboard tricks to come easily, two people to be healed from cancer, miraculous opportunities to come, job clarity, finances, a blind eye to be healed, and were even able to pray for a monk who asked for a closer relationship with Jesus. It was awesome!!!
Randi and Felicia were walking towards our team, when two psychics cut them off to read their palms. The team just prayed and waited until they were finished, then said "We believe in the power of God so much that we are willing to give you $20 to replace what you paid the psychic if you will let us pray for you." They said, "Yes, we are looking for answers." They encountered the Presence of God!!!
All together, 25 different people from all walks of life with many different needs were touched individually, right in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world. It was truly an honor!!!
SUPERNATURAL CREATIVE EDGE
Since we last updated you…we have added to our ministry staff with the addition of Dallas Freeman, who sensed the call of God to move to NYC! Welcome Dallas…you are a mighty woman of God and we are excited to see the unfolding of the plan of God for you in this season!HIGHLIGHTS & WORDS from CKE (Feb 21):
"Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." Exodus 40:34
- This night is "Paramount" & "Pivotal" (chief in importance or impact; supreme; preeminent, of vital or critical importance)
- The wait is over. The shift has taken place. No struggle. It's easy.
- Another level of "BE"... Don't get so caught up in the seeking, that you don't see Him and "Be" with Him. It's so easy to miss, but so easy to access.
- New assignments for prayer are being given out
- New industries are being formed
- God is giving us blueprints in the Spirit tonight
- God says, "Lean on Me...My strength is made perfect in your weakness." God began giving us a deeper revelation of what that looks like in our lives. What is the area of your greatest weakness? See His strength as PERFECT in that place!
- Tonight there is an advancement of the Kingdom with "unusual anointing"...walk into your purpose NOW
- He will bring you before Hollywood celebrities, politicians, orphanages in India, the nations...doors open to you...
- God is giving us faith for DOMINION & faith for Signs, Wonders and Miracles!
- You proceed...I provide!!!
These words came as text messages during the meeting from Aaron's parents in Texas:
- Divine Placement...Things in the making and things to come!
- Eph. 3:6...we are "fellow heir of the same body and partakers of His promise in Christ..."
God said, "If anyone was wondering...There is NOTHING insignificant about what is going on here. Everything is changing. This is HUGE! Never the same. I have orchestrated every word, every song, every person, every outfit...in the Spirit. It looks very different than in the natural. Begin to ask me what it looks like...There is a specific 'outfit' for a specific 'purpose.' Tonight, more layers and accessories have been added for your purpose.
The angels filled the room & we all felt the tangible Presence of God!!!!
