Jesus Just Wants In

Posted by [email protected] on November 9, 2011 at 2:45 PM

One of the first letters written to me while in county jail was from a friend that has been delivered from a drug addiction, who spent time herself incarcerated. I will never forget something that she wrote to me in that first letter. She told me about her being filled with the Spirit while washing dishes, as a trustee. Then she said, “Isn’t it funny…all everyone wants is to get out of there and Jesus just wanted in.” I think about that almost everyday, that no matter what I “feel”, see, or hear; or how badly I want to be free, to choose the people I surround myself with, to be able to choose where I go to church, really just to be able to choose anything, He is still there. Well, the past few weeks, I have been yearning for a move of the Spirit. I wanted to not just know,  but “feel” Him. Probably selfish of me, but I wanted it so bad I asked for it. For those of you that don’t know, I have a Pentecostal background, so I am very comfortable and used to the manifestation of the ‘gifts of the Spirit’ as lived out for the church in I Corinthians 12:4-11. Well, today I told God that I know He is here and I know that He is limited to no location, temple, house, church; He is not limited to any building and that He lives in me and several other men behind this fence and in these dorms, and I want His Spirit to manifest Himself today. How God never ceases to amaze me! After my tantrum, I went to church and was slapped in the face with the goodness of Him. A couple came to minister that reminded me of when Tommy and Karen Drumm would visit FFI! There were men speaking in tongues, visions, prophecy, addictions called out and broken, and supernatural healings, all behind these walls. Thank you God and thank you Kayce for reminding me that no matter how much we want out, He loves to dwell wherever we are!

*To Kayce and Cory, congratulations on beginning a new life together! --Sorry I couldn’t be there:(*

*To the woman who gave this ‘shepherd boy’ a chance. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a dynamic ministry and helping me grow into the king God sees! I love and miss you. Happy Birthday, Ms. Robins! *

If Jonah felt God's presence inside of a Whale, then God will go anywhere there are people. He has NO Boundaries , His presence is EVERYWHERE. Think of the worst place you could ever be, and you will find God there. His convicting Holy Spirit goes also. God is in Jail all the time. That is where He wants to be, it"s not like He couldn't leave if He wanted, but He don't want to. Praying for you Nephew, glad your in a better place for now.

Shawn: Thank you for the birthday greeting. It warmed my heart to hear from you and to hear that you are doing well. God still sees a king and will develop you into the person He wants you to be. Stayed focused. I love you and am praying for you.
