see relatedLORD I WANT MORE OF YOU, HOLY SPIRIT RAIN DOWN ON ME, LORD I NEED MORE OF YOU, LIVING BREATH OF LIFE COME AND FILL ME UP
WE ARE HUNGRY, WE ARE HUNGRY, WE ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE OF YOU, WE ARE THIRSTY, OH JESUS, WE ARE THIRSTY FOR MORE OF YOU.
Guys I have to say this whole week has been the point of God just bringing to my knees, and him saying, "Phillip are you ready yet? I've been waiting along time for you to come to this point. You have been so close, yet you could never quite come over. Are you ready to set your priorities in order, and run full head on with me?" Well I have to say that I have finally answered that clarion call of his, and by golly I am ready to run full on. Ya see, this week has been full of revelation from God just showing me tons of things. And now once I have received insight to these things, I am so hungry and thirsty and ready for this chapter of my life with Christ to begin.
The first thing as many of you know has to do with females. First of all that even Christians who are dating can be unequally yoked. Ya see those two words right there. Unequally yoked. Even though you may be dating a Christian, they can be on so much more or less of a level of spirituality or with their walk with God then you are. I've realized that my next girlfriend, needs to have the same level of fire, love, and devotion that I have for God. Who doesnt listen to secular music, as I don't. Who enjoys spending their free time in the presence of God. Second with females, is that thanks to all of my friends that happen to be girls. I need to stop focusing on females, and focus on the Father. I know now that my time right now in my life needs to be devoted to God and establishing my ministerial persuits in college. Plus trust God that in his perfect time that he will reveal my wife to me. Stop trying to take that matter into my hands and leaving it with him.
This morning brought me to the point of no turning back. You see I felt such a burden on my heart during praise and worship to fall on my knees. Once I did that I felt him saying, "Phillip stop with the complacency. I don't want to be something that you do. I want to be all that you do." I want my screename here on Xanga to be so real of my life. I'm tired of sitting in one spot. It's time for me to lay everything down and follow him. It's time for me to instead of jog after Jesus, it's time to chase after him like I'm running a 100 yard dash. Give it my all to catch God.
Guys right now my heart feels so heavy and about to collapse. I know this isn't because of my mytro valve relapse. It's because God has burdened my heart so much right now for him. To hunger and thirst after him, like never before.
Everyone I pray that you will follow God with youre all today too.

wow...dude i dont know what is up with me but everytime i hear someone be that passionate for God i almost get exhausted....i have been very mellow about Him lately and i can not wait to leave and go to this christian college and goe to chapel twice a week and study the bible as a required class, etc. i feel like i can actually change when i get up there, which i guess i really can, but i can;t assume its going to do it for me or that i will always stick with it just because of where i am at. Phill pray for me man, i dont want to be naive or get caught off guard when it is not what i think it is going to be. i dont want to get exhausted from God, i want to get fixed. i want more of me to die, and more of Him to live.

Hey Phil, that's awesome to see that you are growing closer to God and that you've put females on the back burner for now. I know that situation will work out soon enough! :) Anyway, today one of De-dar's friends came over and she wanted to go see your house...she really likes it, but the sign on your house says, "contract pending." She really likes your house!!! I think she actually fell in love with it the first time she saw it! Anyway, I was just going to ask you if you could pray for me. I'm having a hard time at college switching to a different environment from having at least some people who are Christian to having no one that is a Christian...I do have to say it is very different than high school...I will continue to pray for you also...have a wonderful week Phil!

Wow, Phil, I sure wish that there were more Christian guys like you around Springfield...I can think of one!! And he doesn't even go to school with me. Never lose that passion for Christ. You are truly the inspiration for me. God bless. Keep it up!! In Christ's love,
