Freedom.

In the path of your judgements, 

O LORD, we wait for you;

your name and remembrance 

are the desire of our soul.

Isaiah 26:8

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to attend Passion once again. Not only were there great speakers and performers, but it is so apparent that JESUS remains the cornerstone on which the conference is built. I was able to be a small part of the 44,000 students that gave over 3 MILLION dollars to fight human trafficking around the world. I met awesome people and learned so much. Here are some of the main points that I took away from the week…

• Life only works when He's EVERYTHING. Anything else is not real faith.
• You can stand with humanity, or you can stand with Jesus.
• All of us have a tendency to hide what needs the most healing. 
• You go back to your sin if you forget that you've been cleansed. 
• It isn't compassion until you allow yourself to be interrupted.
• Whatever you expect God to do in the next month, double it. He wants to do MORE.
• You won't build your life around Jesus by accident. You must make an effort.
• Brokenness is the bow from which God launches the arrow of healing. 
• The proclamation of His name and power starts the day you become alive in Christ. That's our mission, the reason we are alive. It doesn't mean that your story doesn't unfold, it means that you don't need to wait. Opportunity is now. 

The Lord is so faithful and I can't wait to see the results of the many new believers who are on fire for Jesus. MAY HIS NAME BE GLORIFIED.
