Can’t sit still
I have to admit, I’m excited.
very excited.
For a while now, the prophecies have been talking about a great revival. But everyone of them, up until recently included the word soon. As in, not now. We are crossing from soon to now though. A generation has been rising up for some time now, taking their place, standing on the giants that came before them. Waiting, watching, seeking, learning, trying. Read More…
Read MoreMy name is David
I’m noticing an increasingly scary trend in the church. To put it simply – it goes like this: more and more of God’s people no longer know who they are. For some reason, many in the church believe the Kingdom of God is something that we enter when we die. In reality – we enter into the Kingdom of God the second we start to follow Jesus. Every once in a while, I’ll run into a group of people that can accept that, except then they act like (and believe they are just) peasants in this so called kingdom.
To follow Christ is to step in who God created us to be. Guess what, to follow Christ is to step into sonship (and daughtership). If our father is the King – doesn’t that mean we are princes and princesses? Doesn’t that make us coheirs to the throne? Doesn’t that make us a lot more than just peasants? I’ll let you chew on that for a bit, but for now – I want to take you to the intended point of this post. I was with a group of friends earlier and we were talking about identity (among other things), and the question was asked “Who are you?” I want to share with you how I respond to that question.
If I could some it up, I would say my name is David – which means beloved. I am a son of God. I’m a coheir to the throne. I am a man. I am a worrier and a worshiper.
I’d love to hear who you are? Post in the comments!

Every Friday, a bunch of people in Bemidji get together to worship God. It’s one of my favorite nights of the week. Not only do we get to intercede for the city of Bemidji, but we get to spend time together in fellowship, sing songs of praise to our heavenly father, and even seen God do miracles by healing people (just last night, one of my good friend’s wrist was healed!).
That’s why I go. God is doing amazing things in this city. I’m going to focus on me for this post though 
. There is one more thing I find happening at Friday Night Worship. People are being filled up with the Holy Spirit. People like me. I often find myself drained after a long week and constantly find God renewing my spirit while I worship Him. It’s like all my frustrations are lifted away. The pain is gone. And when I forget why I’m here, He gently reminds me.
Last night, we started off singing a variation of the song We Are One In The Spirit. The lyrics we sang went something like this: Read More…
Read MoreLike a Lion
A rut. A very deep rut. A very deep and wide rut.
You ever drive down an old dirt road and get stuck in the ruts created from the vehicles that came before you? It’s actually kind of cool sometimes. You can take your hands off the wheel and the car practically drives itself down the road. Read More…
Read MoreI’ve never seen so many coolers in my life!
We were on an adventure. We were on a hunt. We were looking for a treasure. Six times, the coolers let us know we were on the right path.
The InterVarsity chapter at Bemidji State University has been meeting regularly over the summer to study the book of Daniel, and we had been looking for some ways to share Christ as a group. We landed on two things – a game night next week and a Treasure Hunt tonight.
I think Treasure Hunts originated from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. You can check out those two links for more information but I want to share our encounter with God with you. We did a modified version of what they do.
After tonights study ended of Daniel Chapter 9, I did a super quick introduction and training session with 6 others. I was so excited, and surprised to see their excitement to try this Treasure Hunt thing out – I’ve never had people respond like that. After I gave my training, we split into two groups, and I prayed a blessing on our adventure as we set out. One group had a group of four, and my group consisted of two others – Mark and Michelle.
I learned a lot in this process. The first thing is that 15 minutes isn’t very long if you are planning to pray and listen for God to respond. Prayer is the first and most vital part of the whole Treasure Hunt. It’s where we go off by ourselves to seek God and ask him to give us clues to put on our map to find His treasure. I felt like I barely had any time at all. Read More…
Read MoreThe Lord’s Army
This, the vision I saw:
I saw an army, a great army. They charged forth against the enemy. I watched as they ran into battle with their armor on, but no weapons of any kind. No swords, no axes, no shields, no maces – no weapons of any kind.
This army, this magnificent army was no ordinary army. It was the army of the saints. Every saint was at war against the evil one.
Every Saint.
As they charged forth, without their weapons, the outcome became obvious to me. Because I was wrong – they had a weapon greater than any hand could forge. Now I could see it. I could hear it. It was the sound of power. It was the sound of strength. It was a song of redemption.
It was the song of Jesus!
Read MoreScripture of the day
I was reading this today and wanted to share it with you.
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. Read More…
About Me
Hello world! My name is Adam Lepp and have I got a story to tell you. It starts off pretty average, has some major roller coaster moments in the middle, and has the besting ending ever. It's still being written, so join me as I continue to tell the story of love.
