return

The Holy Spirit is moving in me. God is gutting me from the inside out. He is consecrating me and saturating me with His holiness and His awesomeness( I don't mean that in the way the world uses the word)

here is something spoken to me tonight written from the Lord.


"You are much too easily satisfied
you gorge yourself in death, but cry out for life..
like a bird, you see a shiny object hoping to gather it for yourself to make your nest more
comfortable.
you are easily distracted
and deterred
you give your heart to anyone and everything that asks
feasting your eyes upon things that will never last
you settle for
the ordinary
when you have been offered
the extraordinary
you have lost your minds
to this world
you have lost your hearts
to this culture
you have lost your hunger
for My Taste
you have lost your sight
of My Face
going from extravagance
riches and glory
to selfishness poverty and mediocrity
you mistake truth for lies
you accept death, rejecting my sacrifice
you have become an unfaithful Bride
drawing near with your lips,
drawing near in the night
but when the morning comes
and with it, daylight
you run and hide
cause you're ashamed of their eyes
you don't want them to see who you love
because you're ashamed of Me...
why?
I've given you all of me
My Son, the spotless One...
do you remember what He gave for you to be free?
Oh my love! why have you forsaken Me?
as your Lover I care for you
I watch you, I provide
why do you forsake Me night after night?
I've promised you goodness, yet you settle for less
What I have for you is Heavenly; it
comes from above! Don't you see?
YOU BELONG TO ME!
I am jealous for My Beloved
I long to love you, to hold you.
I long to comfort and console you.
I long to provide shelter and refuge
but all you do is refuse!
come back to Me...
I will not forsake you
return to Me...
cause I have never left you
I desire for you to be Mine
Im ever jealous for you
come to Me..
My arms are ever Open..."




the world begs you for your heart. the enemy is the ruler of the kingdom of darkness of this world, and He perverts every good thing. Don't buy into it. Stop filling yourselves in pleasure. Stop gorging yourselves with worldly desires. Stop feasting your eyes upon the things from this world... look UP! stop acting Like the world and call yourselves Christian! How can we be a light if we ourselves are in darkness?


the Lord gave me a picture of a cleaning supply closet
in it there were bottles of cleaning solutions, all correctly labeled but there was one that looked different. It had a nice looking bottle but when you opened up and looked inside, you could smell that it was toxic poison. just like the cautions and warnings on cleaning supplies, we must heed the warnings of our God. there are things in this world disguised as beautiful, but will rot and tear us up from the inside out.

the world is begging us for time.. our heart... our life.. our love, affection.. our devotion... our allegiance.
Those who call yourselves Christians....lets give all those things to the One who deserves it. Let's give HONOR AND GLORY to our king, our Father, our awesome God! let's return to our first love... He desires us...

Day...maybe.....39?:)


Yikes. I'm so glad you guys can't hurt me through the internet:) I have been a horrible steward of this blog...but honestly there isn't a day goes by that I dont think about writing..it's just that everytime I do..something else comes up!
I'm going to ATTEMPT..note that word...to describe the past month to you.
SO SO SO much has happened. But to start off...
God is faithful. God is our Redeemer. God is our Saviour, He is our King, He is our source of provision, of life, of food, of shelter, of refuge..and of ALL things GOOD!

The past month has proven that, to put it bluntly, I'm not as great, as humble, on top of things as I thought I was...God is purging and purifying me in a way like never before. He is purifying my heart, and He is purging my mind and my thoughts. He is challenging me..to believe in Him and His promises..to trust HIM and His word. To believe that He IS who He says He is...He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is showing me that He is after my heart..He is teaching me that consistency first starts with HIm and then flows into everything. That fellowship starts with my fellowship with Him and then flows into my other relationships.
That when I seek first the KIngdom..all else will be added. That I need not worry, because He is a provider of all good things.
He is teaching me that I must say yes BEFORE He even tells me what to do. That I must be obedient and willing for Him to use me. That I must be open to whatever He has for me, even if it doesn't seem possible. He is teaching me to wait patiently before Him. He is changing my desires. He is changing my heart for the lost, for the saved, for the orphans, for the broken, for the poor, for the hopeless, for the helpless..for the world. He is teaching me humility, and that it is MY choice to make. He is deepening my understand of who He is and who he ever will be. He is showing me the depth of His love and HIs jealousy for not only me, but for all of mankind. That He longs for every human to come into right relationship with Him through His son Jesus Christ.
He is teaching me patience by showing me patience. He is teaching me love, joy, kindness by showing me love, joy, and kindness. He is teaching me compassion on an even greater level than I thought i could ever have. He is showing me that Love is a choice: I must choose to love Him and His people, His creations. He is teaching me that worship is not only music, it is every moment of everyday, presenting myself as a living sacrfice to Him. He is showing me that He does not play Hide and Seek. He asks us to seek Him and His face and His will and His plan for the earth and He will show us all those things.
He is showing me that He is a good Father, that He longs to not just give me the minimum of my needs, but He wants to give me the innermost desire of my heart. He is showing me the importance of this season of singleness. That He is preparing me to be a wife, a mother. He is teaching me servanthood. Servanthood is selfless and if it's not selfless..it's not servanthood! Service is a lifestyle and not just something we do every once in awhile. God is teaching me that I must be faithful in little before He can entrust to me much...so much more..I could litterally go on for paragraph after paragraph....BUt let me update you on the program specifically:
*Mitch is my mentor:)
*BRYAN ROBISON IS BRINGING US ON THE 3 MONTH MISSIONS TRIP to...YAYYYYYYYYYYYY SENOR BRYAN!!!
*SANTIAGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!!!DOUBLE YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
* We are now working ON wednesdays tutoring Somali-bantu students!(first day tomorrow)
*Fridays we are working at the Second Harvest Food Bank.

I will be sending out support letters within the week(if you would like for me to send you one, shoot me an email at hannahjeter@gmail.com.

Serving the Lord across the world ain't cheap...I need some moolah! $1000 is used for the program while here in the US, and $3,000 will be paying for food, airfare, and board as we stay in the DR.(Dominican Republic; im gonna abbreviate it to "DR" cause it's too long to type out:)
If you can support me financially, I would be so grateful. I know God has called me to this season, and I know He will provide.
Right now I only have $1500. We are at the point now where Mitch and John(the directors) have to put down money for the plane tickets, and for room and board, etc....
the final payments are due as follows:
October 1(a few days ago):$500

please be praying for our team as well:
*creative ways to earn money
*unity withing our team, learning to love each other, and have compassion on each other.
