I took these after a full day of yard work. My wife and I spent a good amount of the day pulling up weeds and trimming back bushes at our new home. as I was pulling up weeds i noticed that some of the roots looked really cool. So after the yard work was done I went and found some of the roots that appealed to me set up a light and photographed them. I find it really cool how they dance.

The roots got me thinking about people are raised different even if they are siblings. This leads to how everyone’s roots are different. I believe that to be a beautiful thing, This is almost like photographing snowflakes. No matter how many plants I uprooted none of there roots are the same.

Something to stir you up!

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:35:23 -0700

So this is my first post in awhile, the only excuse I have is I got married and bought a house moved and didn’t take anytime off. I know it’s not really an excuse. Forgive me internet.

So as I was saying, my first post in sometime. I have been thinking about what direction I want to go lately and dreaming a lot lately. I have spent many hours meditating on what The Lord wants out of my life and although I don’t have a wide vision of what it is, I feel I have a direction i’m to explore. This is it. these images are from a session with the one and only Miss Rivera! She is an amazing young woman and is completely sold out for Jesus! When I was praying about what direction to go God gave me a word for her. So I decided to take a step of faith into it, I called her up and told her The Lord gave me a word for her but she would have to let me make it an image. These images are a result of that session! Jesus is good! My prayer is that these pictures not only relate and touch the Heart of Miss Rivera but of anyone who sees them!

Living to obey

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 06:16:32 -0700

God woke me up a 5:30 this morning as He does on occasion to have me pray for something, now right before I went to be I prayed Lord show me how to obey you more. So as I’m struggling to keep my eyes open He says to me, first you must be willing to obey. Ok Lord I’m willing. As I am waking up I hear Jeremiah 67, as i’m still waking up rubbing my eyes so they adjust to the light I turn to Jeremiah and realize there is no chapter 67. As soon as I realize it God says to me it is also a risk to obey me, you will be wrong sometimes. Then I heard Ezekiel 23 so I go there and the whole chapter is about two sisters who have been whores since they were young. (they are metaphors) They are whores and they give themselves to whatever they want, one of them does it and it gets her killed and then the other sister goes out and does it even more. Even goes to the length of going out of her way to send messengers to far away lands to bring back men for her bed. (go read it if you want the full story) in the end God casts judgement on her, then The Lord spoke to me again and said sometimes it’s a burden to obey me, sometimes it’s tough. Then I heard Romans 8. I know it’s a very famous chapter but I’m confessing I don’t know it that well. So I turn there and it’s about GRACE! It’s about how Jesus was willing, how He took the risk, and how He took the burden of all the worlds sin so God wouldn’t have to cast judgement on us. He made it possible to live and have the pleasure of obeying a good God! Jesus made it possible to go from judgement to freedom. To go from being a lustful person of the flesh like we all are sometimes, to walking in grace and extending God’s Kingdom! Jesus showed us the way to obey, He gave us grace and mercy, I think we owe him for that. Maybe the only way you know right now is how to pray a simple prayer, I tell you God will honor that. Keep praying that simple prayer. Maybe you are being called higher, I challenge you to step into it. It will be full of the Amazing Presence of God but it cones at a price. You will have to take risks and be wrong. That’s where I’m at, I believe I’m being called to step out more, to not have the mentality of, oh I’ll do that later but to go for it and expand. Lord seal this word in my heart! Thank you for speaking to me! Thank you for Your Son, who obeyed you perfectly! Thank you for your grace, You are amazing!

Fun

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:09:11 -0700

Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way. That is what Gos is.

I just had a revelation! Let me set the stage.

I was in my room worshiping before I jumped into bed for the night mind you not something I do on a regular basis if I’m being honest. I have been praying lately on how to surrender more lately to The Lord and I believe He gave me that desire. So I’m worshiping and about the fourth song in God speaks to me not audible or anything but how he normally talks to me. The song came on and it was a John Mark Mcmillian song that’s not a typical worship song. So it’s playing and I get the revelation that God is fun! He doesn’t just expect things one way he like originality! He likes being fun and having fun with his children. That just gets me excited!!!! My God is so creative and he releases me to be the same. I don’t have to do praise him any particularly way just as long as my heart is in the right place he will accept it and speak to me. I tell you God is rad! He is no mamby pamby, He is a hip totally rad super awesome God!

Lord thank you for this revelation! I pray that anyone who hears about this will receive the same thing! I know you are a good God and creative and fun I ask now that you release the revelation of fun over this nation this city this state! Thank you so much. Create a movement of art based around how fun You are Lord!

Thank you for dreams and providing for them.

Humility and Daniel

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:23:01 -0700

I’ve been reading the book of Daniel lately and I’m completely amazed at how humble he was and how much God’s favor was on his life. Let me try to explain.

So here’s this Jewish boy that had just been forced out of his city let alone country and placed into a school for the kings future wise men/ advisors. Right there that’s pretty amazing. Then he defies the kings orders by asking the official that over saw him to feed him something different then what the king had already given him. And it wasn’t a skimpy meal the king had provided keep in mind it was a full on meat, potatoes, wine, and everything else you wanted kind of meal. So in his humility he asked and received what he asked for. He got some vegetables. But that set him and his friends apart from the rest of the group.

So a little time passes he’s going about learning the language amongst other things and the king has a crazy dream that no one could interpret and flips out wanting to kill the wise men of the country. This is Nebuchadnezzar one of the most powerful kings ever. Daniel gets wind of this when the commander of the guard come to kill him and his friends and “speaks with wisdom and tact” - Daniel 2:14. And gets to go see the king. I have to say that’s alot of wisdom and tact to go from I’m about to die to, oh hello king give me one night and I’ll figure this whole dream thing out. This next part is awesome. So Daniel then after getting some time to interpret the dream goes home and tells his friends to pray, plead for mercy concerning the mystery. And so they do and Daniel gets a dream that night explaining the kings dream. He wakes up Praises God for being so awesome, mighty to save. He praises God for everything just about. Which is so important. See he got what he needed and could have gone to the king saved his friends and himself and went on living. But he woke up and praised God for being so good to give him, a Jewish man in a strange land the interpretation of the kings dream when no one else could. He praised God for revealing the truth and then gave Him all the glory when he went to tell the king what’s up. And the he was rewarded. And his friends who prayed were rewarded.

I think that is cool.

Lord thank you for this story, thank you for being so good to us like you were to Daniel. I ask that you give me and whoever reads or hears about this favor with wisdom and tact over kings. You are a good God!!! You are mighty to save! Thank you!

Sometimes

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 23:49:54 -0700

Jesus I need you now more than I know. I need your love to bring me peace. I need your grace to fill me. I know I am not perfect, I know I am weak and lazy and lustful. But You my God are perfect, You are loyal, You are righteous, loving, holy, and a friend. Thank you for Your love, grace. You are the best thing to ever happen. Thank you for Your forgiveness, thank you for saving me and giving me hope. You are my Jesus.

Sweet and Simple

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 16:28:00 -0700

So i read the sermon on the mount again lately and i found a whole new life in it! I love it when something you’ve read in the past comes to life again and stirs your heart! This time it was the fact that everything Jesus states in it is against the world view on things, and that all we need is hope (the hope Jesus gave us when he died) in order to become meek, pour in spirit, pure in heart, righteous, merciful etc… All we need is Jesus, He can teach us to be everything we were created to be. I know this sounds so basic but its a revelation we need in order to change. God want to give you the Kingdom, He wants to Lavish he Love on you, He want to show you that you are created for a purpose. Father release Your revelation on us, we need it to stir our hearts! Lord give us a passion to know you, to want Jesus above all else.

LOVE

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 09:04:00 -0700

A friend sent me a text today saying “living aware for the need for more without doing the guilt shame thing will position us for the breakthrough we desire.” that’s a good word. You see God’s LOVE for us is greater than the guilt we have for ourselves. It’s stronger than the shame we carry. It’s more powerful then any feeling we could have. Not sure about you but I want to experience that love more. That LOVE conquers all. I could go on and say a whole bunch of cliche things and make it look like a good post, but truth is I want to encounter that LOVE more and pray the same for you. I believe it’s His LOVE that motivates us to see from heaven down. It’s the LOVE Jesus gave us so we may carry it around and leak it out over people who need it. This LOVE is the difference! Its not condemning but up lifting. This has got me stoked! Thank you Lord Jesus for being the path to our Fathers LOVE. God I thank you for your greatest affections for us. I ask that you will bring new encounters of your Love to us not just this week but over the course of our lives! We want more of this amazing, glorious, gracious LOVE you have for us. I thank you that we don’t have to feel guilty in your presence. You are an amazing Dad. We honor you. Pour out more for your children!

All you have to do is receive His LOVE and it will change your life forever.

Inheritance

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:41:45 -0700

The Lord says I have given you an inheritance! Remember this: I have given you an Inheritance.

This is something the Lord has been telling me lately, i think its for everyone though. We are sons and daughters of the most high God and he has given us eternal pleasures as psalms puts it. But I believe He wants to give promotion out, give you the inheritance you have on this Earth and its good!

Father we receive this blessing for ourselves and families. We thank you for the inheritance you have given us. We declare freedom in finances for Your people. We thank you again and again for being such a good Dad! We honor you. Give us wisdom to manage the inheritance you have given us. Thank you again Jesus!

You call me Friend

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 08:33:00 -0700

You are not just loved by The King but He likes you so much. Have you ever had that feeling where you see someone at school and instantly are attracted to them and then you find out there into you? Or you have a friend that you always want to be around because it’s just fun? Doesn’t that do wonders to your soul? It’s nice when your enjoyed for who you are. Grab this, God feels that way about you on an even higher level. He doesn’t care about what makes you feel guilty but what makes you soar! He just want to be near you and talk to you. He wants to give you eternal things! Try this; speak over yourself verbally, I am a son/daughter of a King who likes me. Then ask Him how much he likes you! I guarantee if you do that everyday it will change the way you see Our Father pretty quickly.

Lord I ask that you show us how much you enjoy us for being ourselves. You are a good good daddy. Thank you for your grace.

If you could be praying for the next Unseen conference on November 19-21 at Community of Hope it would bless us. And if you could be praying for hearts to be opened to His Glory. Also praise Him for how good he is, COH got a new preschool leader! Help me partner with them to pray for wisdom over their leadership.

Worthy

Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:36:50 -0700

Fill me Up! Take my breath away! Consume me! Love me! Teach me to love the way you love. Make me hungry! Be High and Lifted up. I was listening to a message from Heidi Baker today and she was praying for our nation and calling us to live a life worthy of God’s Presence. It stuck me. I began to look into my heart and see where I have fallen short of that, where I desire to give more to Him. I think its important where your attitude is, I could say well im doing this and this wrong and feel guilty or I can step into His LOVE and say Lord this is where I desire to be more like you take it, make it into something worthy, something that will glorify your kingdom. God is always in a good mood. I think we forget that sometimes. I want you to close your eyes in a second, but first pray this, Lord I declare fire into my bones, Make me hungry for you, bless me, teach me to live a worthy life. Father show me how much you love me and how much of a good mood you are in! Now Ask God to show you his face, close your eyes for a moment and reflect on this. Was He smiling? Did He want to wrap His arms around you? Let me know. Lord I ask that you encounter the people reading this. I ask that you pour blessing over them like a cup overflowing.

Blessings,

Trevor

Overcome US!

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:02:30 -0700

We are now less than forty days away from The next Unseen Conference. And I believe that The Lord is giving promotion out, He is calling people higher. Let me put it this way he wants to give you more of everything! Everything that has been going on in my personal life has had favor on it lately. I just switched jobs and Gods hand is all over that, With church he is showing me more bringing me into more responsibility with Worship. It gets me so pumped to see what he is going to pour out over all of you! This is my prayer this week, Lord show us where you want to increase in our lives, Pour out your favor over us. I love how The United Pursuit band puts it, “like a waterfall of honey let your love be poured out on me, overcome me!” Overcome us Lord with your goodness, grace, favor, wisdom, Perseverance. Draw us into your Glory and hold nothing back from us! You are a good good Daddy, an Amazing Father, A wonderful Friend, and a Perfect Lover! Release encounters over us In the Mighty Name of Your Son Jesus!

Thanks for the support

Trevor

P.S. If you could be praying for these specific things too

Please pray for the healing and deliverance God wants to bring this weekend in the healing conference with Joe Johnson. Here’s a prayer report from one of the team members:
- The passage the Lord put on my mind and heart today is 2 Chronicles 20: 15-17. I believe God is wanting to heal people of the various armies of the spiritual world, emotional world and principalities of stronghold which cause anxiety and depression. As Gary has been preaching…we take our position….this is also affirmed in the passage to be still, to stand strong, to be helpless in self but to keep eyes on the Lord for his leading and his healing and to allow the battles to rage without participating but to wait on the Lord. May there be breakthrough this weekend for the battles people are in. Help us Lord to be your ministers of stillness, waiting, watching and seeing our Lord deliver us. Love, Katherine P.S. I hope the people who can’t be with us will be praying for and with us and may God deliver you and us from all our personal battles as well. Thank you Lord.
Our preschool is such a front-line ministry that it’s always in need of prayer. I understand that some new families have signed up this week. Please continue to pray for staff, students, families, the preschool advisory committee, and the families we’re called to reach in the future.
We thank God for the life of Alice Matthies, our organist, friend, and fellow laborer in Christ. She’s better than ever in heaven; it’s those of us left behind who need prayer. Pray for her husband Dick, family members, and friends. And less significantly, please pray for God to bring to us the next musician He’d like us to have for our traditional service.
Pray for the ministries of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) as we celebrate our 10th annual gathering in MN next week. Pray for all the new growth (538 congregations as of this morning), for the new service coordinator, for continued wisdom and direction for the leaders, and above all, for the aroma of Christ to permeate everything we do in His name as one part of His family.

Lets Press In

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:40:48 -0700

So, its funny i had just written a whole post and then accidental deleted it. That along with felling like poo at the moment made me want to do this more! I will not settle for less. We have to press in. If not then what happens another day passes and we grow cold, complacent. God has so many blessings to pour out over you, all you have to do is seek Him. Jeremiah 29:13 says “if you look for me wholeheartedly you will find me.” That to me means seek me when you want to and especially when you don’t want to. I believe there is a life for you beyond anything you can imagine. A life so full of love, hope, blessing after blessing that is for you. Its not just a dream but a reality. You have been created for a purpose and that purpose is to be Loved by the mighty, glorious, amazing, wonderful, powerful, beautiful, splendid King! He has created you to dream, so what is stopping you from doing just that? I say dream put down the video games, turn the tv off, and sit down and just dream. Whats in your heart? write it down pursue that. The thing is we distract ourselves more than anything, we put things off when we should make the most of every opportunity. (sorry if that so cheesy.)

Jesus I ask that you seek us as we seek you. Holy Spirit I ask that you give us focus so that we may dream, focus so that we may see the Fathers heart and His Face. I declare love over everyone who reads this. I ask that you will give them dreams and a passion to pursue the dreams you give them. I ask for your protection to be over them and divine health to posses there bodies. And right now Father in the Name Of Jesus I break the plans of the enemy, the plans to ruin and destroy those fresh dreams. I declare love over them! Lets go for it!

Thanks for the support,

Unity

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:57:16 -0700

We have received the greatest calling anyone can ever receive. I’ve been reading through Ephesians lately and a couple verses really strike me. Jesus’ intent is to know the church with the manifold wisdom of God. ( look at chapter 3:10-12) Paul then writes in the next chapter to keep the unity because we all carry the same Spirit. (4:1-6) These instructions are words for us, Paul may have written them for the Ephesians but we need it. You see God is waiting for a group of people so set on his love that they will accept anyone as He does. This means laying down any bitterness towards other people or groups and picking up where Jesus left off.

How much better are things when you have someone with you. I mean going to the movies by yourself is not the same as going with your best friend. I believe this is how God feels. He has sent the invitation out and is waiting on a reply from us. I don’t care who you are, you are a son or daughter of the most amazing Dad! I believe now is the time to start partnering with each other in UNITY and praying, and going after the same things! That’s what revival is. It’s not about who is wrong or right it’s about experiencing the Love of the most high God! Lets love each other, let’s help each other out. Let’s walk with each other even if one of us is stumbling. There is so much more that we can do together! Pray for unity.

Be Joyful or Happy

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 09:06:35 -0700

Be joyful in all things. I try to live by that and I got a chance to live by that yesterday.

The story starts with a couple friends and myself went for a nice mountain bike ride. Everything was great it was nice and cool, slightly overcast. We were all looking forward to the ride because we don’t get to ride as much as we have in the past. The weather is great the trail is a little loose from the monsoons but we are experienced riders, we can handle it. It’s all wonderful 10, 25, 35 min in and right when we hit the dead center of the trail, the biggest drop on the course I endoed. (which means I flipped over my handle bars.) I flipped just before the bottom of the drop landed on my left side which went numb instantly. And when I looked down at my leg it had a dent the size of a quarter and a bump twice as big. I thought I broke it. My friend who was behind me and saw the whole thing (and also took a different line then he normally does, thank God because he would have ran over me) got off his bike and prayed for my leg. When he did the swelling that was there already instant shrank before my eyes. I was in shock. The pain was still there but I had movement in it. That was good considering I had to walk the rest of the trail, another 2 miles with hills.

Where I’m trying to go with this is I never thought pity me, or I can’t do this it hurts to bad. Which it did some of the worst pain I have ever felt. I did think and expressed how grateful I was for my friends. And how much God loves me. You see he tests us and sometimes it hurts, but you always have people to help you walk out and God is always there no matter how you act. Through this I have realized how much I am loved. And even though I won’t be mountain biking for awhile I have a group of friends and family that will love me through anything. I think there always is an up side you just have to look for it.

Something Better

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:20:17 -0700

“everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good but the good of others.” - 1 Corinthians 10:23-24.

What if we lived like this? What if we lived in sacrifice to God, to others? Bill Johnson said once that freedom is having the choice to do what’s right. Yes all of our sins are covered because of Jesus. There is just something better for us. Don’t know about you but I would rather beneficial then permissible. Aw Tozer writes sacrifice is giving up something good for something better. In other words it’s giving up something permissible for something beneficial. The best thing about this is that it’s a choice of complete freedom. There is nothing to condem you. Complete Freedom!!!! Lord change me into someone who stewards your beneficial presence, give me the understanding and wisdom to choose in complete freedom the greater cause. Teach me to live to serve.

To be known

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:35:59 -0700

I don’t know about you guys but I want to be known. To be known is to be loved. I’m not talking about being famous or doing something really amazing, but to be known by God himself. 1 Cornithians 8:2 says a man who loves God is known by God. Think about that, the creator of everything wants to know me! Why? My answer for that question is does it really matter? I mean God Himself wants to have a relationship with you. Shouldn’t that be enough? I know this is simple but it’s something that must be realized.

Standards

Fri, 14 May 2010 01:59:00 -0700

I was watching superman returns with my little brother tonight and we got to talking about why no one likes superman as much as batman or spiderman or anyother hero for the matter. We came up with a few reasons why, he is to powerful, he’s a bit cheesey etc… I think it goes a bit deeper. I believe he lives at a higher standard than everyone else and we write him off for it. I think that’s why his alter ego is Clark Kent, he’s trying to fit in and in doing so brings Clark to a lower standard then what he (as superman) lives by. But really you see his true self when he is saving people. I believe there is some wisdom here, why are we trying to be someone who just fits in with the crowd, why are we lowering ourselves when we are born to live at a higher standard. Look up Isaiah 1:18-2.I would put it down but I want you to look it up yourself. I want it to say something to you with no influence from me. Jesus calls us to a higher standard and yes it’s hard but that’s why it’s a higher standard! We are born to change history! Ask yourself what standards have I been compromising? Now go change that.

Love

Trevor
