Jesus taught us how to live for the kingdom not just to die and go to heaven. That's just a bonus. Heaven is just a bonus for kingdom living. Jesus taught us how to live for the Kingdom of God. He went around preaching the kingdom. He wants us to live for the kingdom not to die for just heaven. He wants us to live for the kingdom, and die for heaven. Live for the Kingdom, preach the kingdom. |

THE SNEEZE They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. The Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears. This class would NOT pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said, "GOD BLESS YOU", And he walked off stage. The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends and GOD BLESS YOU!!! This is a true story. It happened at the University of Maryland |

There is a poem I wrote that kinda goes along with that! :-) (Thanks Mearia) Love falls with the tears. Crying love songs, they make melodies and she sings them with her groans. Open your heart and let the love spill out. Open your mouth and sing your sad love songs with the passion in your tears. Just a lil something for ya. JoJo |
10/30/07 You came as a man. A man without sin. A man pregnant with destiny. A shadow of Him. This earth you walked Teaching the kingdom. We found you guilty Of sin and high treason. 3-10-08 3-11-08 4-8-08 4-27-08 4-28-08 5-13-08 I can change this. The most High God is my daddy. Or why people leave without good byes. But the one thing I DO have confidence is that My Daddy, God, will never ever leave me nor forsake me. My father and mother may walk away, but the Lord will never leave me. I’ll say good bye to my father and my mother. And I will look upon my Jesus, and say, “You were worth it.” And the cool thing is he’ll say the same thing. He’ll gaze upon us and say, “You were worth it.” God I am worth it. That’s what you say to me. Why would you love me so much? Why me? You could have anyone else and you chose me. You chose me to be your bride. You clothed me in glory and purity and you tell me I’m worthy and you call me your own. You say, “You are mine, Jordan. And I am yours.” You think I’m beautiful. |

6-23-08 You don’t know how many times I weep over my generation. My heart is breaking for my people. What a confused generation we are. Born into confusion not knowing who you are from birth. We’re told so many things and because we don’t have father’s there’s no one to tell us who to listen to and who not to listen to. I weep bitter tears for what I am now responsible for. I’ve seen a whole other side to my generation that I am sorry to say I didn’t know existed. What’s with all of this tolerance with sin? What with all of this tolerance with homosexuality and “experimenting” with each other? I am disappointed and hurt and shocked and heart broken. My tears are numerous; incomprehensible. And I am ashamed to say that I have been like everyone else; ignoring the needs; ignoring the cries of their souls. God I pray for my generation. God I pray that we would awaken. Is there no one to hold us? Is there no one to see our tears? Is there no one to hear our soul cries? God will! God does! God I pray that my generation would get sick of seeing these pornographic things and wrong lifestyles that the roar that has been placed within since before we were born into the world would burst out of us. Only then can we make this immoral outburst die. What the Lord said to me: He said that there’s a spirit of discouragement on his people. The spirit of discouragement is heavy in us. He said to me, “Don’t trade my heartbeat when the times get rough. Don’t trade my heartbeat when you want to give up. I show up on time. I show up when you’re at the brink of no hope and do something like close down the abortion clinic in Dallas, just to let you know that I am still here and that I do listen to your prayers and that your prayers are in affect. Don’t give up.” It is so true. He shows up when I have almost lost hope and just is his awesome spectacular self and does something like that. He closed that abortion clinic and we cannot give up hope now. I will not give up hope. He is too faithful. |

But that open door led to an open hallway with many other doors. I first went into hatred. It looked like a nice door. I walked in and it was dark and had all of bad memories of the times I had been hurt. So I hated those people. I walked out of hatred and went into rebellion. It looked like a nice door. I walked in and there were reminders of when my parents told me what not to do. So I hated them and rebelled against their commands. After rebellion I walked into orphaned. It looked like a nice door. I saw all the times when I was forgotten. I hated those people, rebelled against them and felt orphaned because them. I walked out of orphaned and opened the door unloved. It looked like a nice door. I saw all of the broken promises made to me, empty words that were spit at me and failing security. So I hated those people, rebelled against them; felt orphaned and unloved. Then a door caught my attention. It was a door with no name. I walked closer and closer and it began to open. I was at the entrance and I looked on the floor, the doormat said, “Welcome to suicide.” I didn’t think anything of it; after all, it looked like a nice door. I walked in and saw the hatred, the rebellion, the orphaned feeling, and the feeling of being unloved. The door started to creak in closing, but I didn’t care. All I could think about was how my life was so bad, and that I could never live up to my calling… if I had one. Then someone pushed me down and started yelling awful things to me. They put a razor in my hand and said, “DO IT! DO IT YOU PIECE OF WORTHLESS LIFE!” So I was on the brink of slicing my wrist when the door bursts open and all the demons flinch. I heard a familiar voice rebuking and kicking some butt. He ran to me and held me tight so the demons could not touch. “She is mine!” he yelled and with that the devils fled. I started to weep, for I knew my sins, and with out him I would have been dead. He lifted me up and turned my face to him. He said, “Jordan I love you. And I am faithful to my word. You don’t have to turn your face in shame for I have ransomed you from the enemy. All of your sins are forgotten. I will never give you up.” I fell into his arms feeling so free and so alive. He kissed my forehead and said, “Come with me, my bride.” He led me out of the hallway and into this big white room. He showed me a door with my name on it. I walked inside and I saw all of the babies I had held in my arms, all of my drawings and paintings, all of my dances. The whole room was filled with babies’ laughter, and then he showed me something else. He showed me my family praying at the very moment I was going to end it all. He said to me, “Jordan, you are a bi-product of their prayers. I told you, I will never give you up.” I hugged him tightly and did not let him go. And now I am telling everyone, of his glory and his love. |

5-19-08 I don’t know how this happened. I can’t explain the ways. No one can blame me can they? Just look at him and you’ll see why I fell head over heels. He’s the most beautiful man in the world. He looked at me and stole my gaze from everyone else. He led me in to his chambers and sat and talked with me. And with just the sound of his voice, I was witlessly, hopelessly, madly in love. His laugh mesmerized me. His eyes made me melt in the seat. His words made me feel so safe, and his smile reassured me that my name was safe in his mouth. He poured out his heart to me and I did the same. I shared with him my hopes, dreams, and one-day things. He told me if I let him have them he would give me the best. And now that I have listened to him I have no regrets. I’ll never forget the day, when I fell witlessly, hopelessly, madly in love with my best friend, Jesus Christ. (And you thought I was talking about a man on the earth.) -Jordan Hughes Believe in me. I can do this. Trust me. I can do it. Just try and believe in what you can’t see. Feel with your heart for change. Tangible things don’t last. Material treasures fade away fast. Just look at me, and you will see, that I can do all things that you can’t. Just look at me and you will see that I can do the impossible. Come to me, rest in me. I’ll give you peace; I’ll give you joy. Come to me, rest in me. I’ll give you peace; I’ll give you joy. Ask and I will give to you, knock on my door and I’ll say “Come in.” The invitation’s open, I invite you to come. Sit with me, so we can talk. 6-01-08 The enemy is blinded by your glory; from the fire that spits from your eyes. The enemy runs away when they see the sword, coming from your mouth. Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh 6-06-08 I see the Lion of Judah weeping for the unborn. Weeping for the slaughtered he sees in the killing fields as it says in Jeremiah. The Lion weeping for the Lambs! The Lion cries for the babies. 6-07-08 Just got out of worship, after a long time with the Lord. Then I hear a sound. A sound so sweet, so pure it seems, then I see a handsome guy singing the tune. It’s like he’s an angel, with a beautiful voice. I sit and am mesmerized by this man, and I let the sound of his voice lure me in. I sit and sit and his eyes meet mine. I feel as if I am on Cloud Nine, for his eyes seem to be those of gold. “I’d sit here forever” I think to myself, and I start my way to him. I want to see who this man is. As I get closer I hear awful sounds. I close my ears but it’s inside of my head. I look at the man and his face starts to change; change into a hideous beast. His eyes turn black and his true colors show, if only I had done what I was told. His voice turns to shrieks as I get closer and closer, trying to turn back, my body won’t do. An invisible rope is tied to me waist, he’s pulling me in and doesn’t hesitate. Evil, evil all around, tighter and tighter it becomes. The enemy comes as an Angel of Light but when you get closer and closer to him you see his true colors. Don’t let his “beauty” overcome you or overpower you. Pray in the spirit when you see him. Start praying and back it up with the word. Don’t give in. Don’t be deceived. Pray and pray the word. Let God’s beauty steal your gaze. Jesus spoke to me saying, “I am so excited about the rapture!” He cannot wait to see us again! That’s the kind of man I want! He is all I need! He wants to come back for a bride and not a *****. Come on bride! Wake up and see that you are loved with an eternal love! See that you are greatly loved by a savior! Jesus will come back for us but will he find a bride? I pray that we would rise up and become the spotless bride again and really and truly seek his face! Come on bride!! Come on become the spotless bride! 6-11-08 Blow spirit. Blow. Just bend beneath my mercy. Just bend beneath the wind of my mercy. Be free. Be as a tree in the wind. Bend with the wind. Let me do what I need to do in you. Be free as a tree. Awake! Breathe again! Breathe dear children! Breathe again! Listen to the Father. He is calling us to him. “Awake children! Breathe again and come to me!” 6-18-08 I slept but my heart was awake. Drifting into a night full of dreams, and wonders explode into songs. Wonderfully, he’s dancing through my dreams. He invites me to join in. I grab his hands and it begins to rain. We dance in the rain and we dance in the sun. We are dancing in the universe and jumping on all of the stars. And then I awaken, kissed by the King. Love woke me up this morning. I awoke to the sun brightly shining, but I looked closer. It was not the sun, but my lover whose face outshines the sun! He was waiting for me. He said, “Come away with me my love. I have been waiting for you. Finally you awaken and the morning has broken through your dreams! Now the time has come that I must leave. But first I must gather my bride.” I have been kissed for real. He woke me up just because he wanted to see me. Wow. The King of the Universe wants to see me in his chambers, dancing beautifully in worship to Him. He wants to se me in his chambers. He says in Song of Solomon, “You have ravished my heart my bride. I am overcome by one glance of your eyes.” Whoa. God says I am beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless. How ‘bout that! That is awesome how he can see us that way when he knows we sin. Sin separates us and that’s why he wants us to strive to be like Jesus. He kisses me and I start speaking in the spirit. Every time I pray in the spirit it is because he has kissed me with his words. He put his words in my mouth as it says in Jeremiah 1. He has sent me with words and seal of approval. I have been kissed for real. In Song of Solomon 3 it says, “Restless in bed and sleepless through the night, I longed for my lover. I wanted him desperately. His absence was painful. So I got up, went out and roved the city, hunting through streets and down alleys. I wanted my lover in the worst way!” I was thinking about this and it dawned on me that it’s like falling away from the Lord but still close enough to hear him calling you back. So what did this girl do when she realized how much she missed her lover? She got and sought him. She did not just sit there and waste away waiting for him to come. No, she got up and truly sought after him and found him. She had to go through the darkened city and streets and alleys. She went through the scariest places and yet did not give up her search. She did not let fear stand in the way of her search for her lover. How awesome, what an awesome revelation. 6-19-08 I turned away from you, and gave in to the lies. I turned my ear from your words, because the truth I despised. I listened to the devil and the lies he threw at me, I listened to that foe again and thought it was just me. I was deceived and lied to and hurt, and I thought it was you, how disguised the enemy was. They say he comes as an angel of light and I saw it and thought it was God. For so long I gave in to the pressure and gave in to the sin. I hurt you and broke your heart, and yet, you still told me you loved me. You said you’d be there with me and you were, but I thought you forgot about me because your voice I wished I never heard. But then one day my eyes were opened and my heart began to break. I fell on the ground with the load of disappointment and hate. I gave them to you and I heard the enemy scream in terror. For when they saw me again I was clothed in battle ready armor. I was shining because of you; you had cleaned me up and made me brand new. The enemy was frightened and they thought it was the end. You told them “It’s not the end but it’s a very good glimpse of what’s ahead for you.” Then you took your sword and with a loud battle cry you put them in their place. And now when I look at you all I see is your face. 6-25-08 God, You hold the stars in your hands. Your praises rise from within my soul, for you put them there before time began. I was created to worship the Creator. He made the sunrise this morning and he will continue to do so for he is faithful to his word. God you are awesome. My life is yours Jesus. Help me today as I minister. Give me an ear to hear. I am not going to be deaf. 6-25-08 Jesus. You love the weak, just as you love the strong. You hold us in your hands. You sing us a new song. You say I love you. You say I want you. You say let me hold you, like a child in the mother’s womb. I love you. You hold my heart in yours. I love you. You hold my hand in the dark and when I’m scared. You hang onto me. That’s why I call you daddy. I need you. While the thunder’s rolling and the lightening so bright. Come hold mwe safe through the night. I long for peace and rest. Through this storm, I have the best. I love you. |

I was praying at midnight the other night and the lord gave me this. IIt was the day my heart broke for this nation and for the babies. We stood that morning at an abortion clinic and the Lord gave me a poem and it was not put in effect until midnight that night. The day the tears fell was the day I saw no more children. No more smiles, no more laughs, no more sunshine, no more crafts. The tears began to fall in my heart as my eyes wept with grief. I couldn't believe what wasn't around me, no more pitter-patter of little feet. Where have they gone? As I felt a stutter in my heart, the sobbing I felt with my chest. I fell to my knees as I trembled with fear of what would become of this place. Weeping in the wind, my tears continued to fall. Soaking my hair and drenching my skin. I felt this grief come over me that was all too alarming. It was thet tears of God that swept over me as the sound of something called me. I sat in my grief with no hope at all... and then I hear, it wasn't loud but very small. I looked around to see what it was and then i looked down at my tummy. I heard the sound of one so small with the voice of someone strong. I felt it rising in my throat and it came out as angelic ecstasy and prose. The silent sound within came out as a roar. And when it did, it stirred the weeping hearts around me more and more. The roar was so loud it shook the earth, and with the final battlecry I gave birth. Seeing the first child again was the only thing I should've ever been. What I saw in the pictures is what I had been and seen, and on that silent day I birthed the first child... me. Ah, to have faith like a child again. JoJo

Hello everyone! i am back from the fast and boy do I have some stuff to share!!!!!!! Well maybe some stuff as the Lord leads. :) I do however have a song I'd like to share. Captivated By Your Eyes Captivated by one glance of your eyes. Just one word from your lips I'm satisfied. I don't have to worry about my life. I'm captivated by your eyes. I'm captivated by captivation. You came as a sacrifice. Gave your life for one love. You saw me in the tears you cried. I'm captivated by your eyes. I'm captivated by captivation. You fought the lies. You cam to die, so the world might live. Even when I blow you off, you keep singing to me. Captivated by one glance of your eyes. Just one word from your lips I'm satisfied. I don't have to worry about my life. I'm captivated by your eyes. I'm captivated by captivation. The Lord gave me this song while I was in an intense time of prayer. As I was praying the lord stood me up and danced with me. Call me crazy, but he literally moved me with a dance. As he danced with me I was just praising him and telling him how good he was and I was just filled with wonder. That's when he out that song in my mouth. And he gave me a scripture. It's in Song of Solomon 4:9. It says, "You have ravished my heart lovely one. And with one glance of your eyes I am captivated." So he is captivated by us while we are captivated by him. Captivated by captivation. He is so beautiful. He is worthy and he is lovely. Everyone second of the day he is staring at us waiting for us to recognize him. If we would let his beauty steal our gaze... what would happen? Wow just imagine. It's incomprehensible. JoJo |

As of this coming Saturday, 5-17-08, I will be doing a 40 day media fast. You can leave me comments and messages that I will check again on 6-26-08. Thanks for understanding. This is something I have to do on my behalf. I am not myself lately and God has been calling me to do this fast for a few weeks. Also I am praying for the upcoming elections this 40 days and for America. Because us teenagers, my generation, this upcoming presidential election will affect us more than anyone. Believe it or not it will affect our future, our children, our ministries. So please for your sake pray for America and the elections! So please if you will, for those of you who pray, please pray for me. For strength mostly. You are more than welcome to fast with me also. You can fast whatever you want. Even if you don't do this fast, I encourage you to fast sometime! It really works.
God I pray for a great awakening in the youth of America! God I pray that we rise up as the army you have called us to be. God break our hearts and make us come running back to you. God you have danced with us, you have caressed us. Now you are pulling off the covers and exposing our nakedness. God I pray that we would come humbly before you with repentance and fasting and weeping and mourning. You are saying "Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with strength!" Wake up generation! Wake up! For your very life wake up! Are we going to lie here and die in our sleep? Are we going to let others die in their sleep? No WAKE UP!! We are the watchmen on the wall like in Ezekiel. If we see war coming and don't warn the people, their blood is on our hands. But if we warn the people and they ignore it, then it's their iown fault. So warn the people generation!
Amen

That is my passion right now along with a few other things. Everytime I see a youth group do a drama about teenagers and suicide, I get this stirring in my spirit to get the word out! I know that I have danced with depression and suicide, and almost gave in to the beauty of sin; that is until it was revealed to me what sin really looked like. You think it's all wonderful and beautiful, but later on you'll realize that where you are at is not good. Sure you could dance with depression for a while and say to yourself, "I'm not going to sink too far into this. This must be just a phase I am goin thru." But then you can't stop dancing. The more you dance the uglier it looks. Then depression throws you over to suicide. Then you start dancing with suicide. And that's when I realized how ugly sin was. THat night when I almost took my own life, I realized how ugly sin was. We as teenagers are vulnerable to be persuaded if we don't have a constant spiritual growth. The teen years are not the best for me, but whoever said life would EVER be easy? Jesus never said it would be easy, but he did say it be worth it. So all of you who have been a teeneager and all of you that are, listen to what I am saying. Tell people abouit HIM! They need to know! I needed it and I know that night I had someone praying for me. I know it! There had to be otherwise I would have been dead right there in my room. I can't thank God enough for the persons praying ar for his mercy and great forgiveness! Without that we would all be dead. Gd has great measures of mercy and forgiveness. Hallelujah! That's why i am not going to let my friends die. Even though some have left I can still pray for their lives. How they ned it. I am going to stop siting around saying, "Oh I wish they would come back." I am actually gong to do something and PRAY for their lives and hearts to come back to hrist! IDK what I am supposed to do, I know that I will speak up for my generation. Whether to just ten or ten thousand. I am not afraid now. I will do this no matter how many people listen or not. It's time for us to do something. It's time to stand in the gap for a generation that is dying. Lord awaken our hearts to this cause, awaken our hearts to your heartbeat! I pray you would raise em up Lord! Raise us up! To awaken a generation out of spiritual death and religious complacency calling them into their individual purpose and corporate responsibilty as an offensive army imposing the Kingdom of God!
Are you with me? |

“Your life… Or your God” Chapter 1 Decisions Hannah is a normal 17 year-old girl. She gets good grades, she scored the highest on her math test, she is the teacher‘s pet, and is an all-around nice girl. But no one saw her as herself. No one but her, her diary, and God. At home she had trouble. Her Dad left when him and her mom were fighting when she was just five years old, her mom is too busy with her own “cares”, therefore, she has no rules; for the most part. So her life was miserable, until she met Marcell Bernet. He was everything she was looking for. Support, happiness, and what she wanted and craved most of all… love. He would take her on romantic dates, to the movies, the beach. Then it happened, her first kiss. But soon it wasn’t enough. She wanted more love. She craved it. Next thing you know… “Marcell, I just found out I’m pregnant.” she couldn’t believe these words were coming out of her mouth. “What are we going to do?” |

With wet wings I try to fly,darkness coming in on all sides. Don't know how to get through this night, with out my shining, guiding light. The rain pouring down, the wind picking up; my wings still wet, I might as well give up. But what's this I see? I glimmer of hope? Could it be? I'm at the end of my rope! The light gives me happiness, and makes the sunshine in my heart. The thoughts of summertime and warmth, fill my head. Then the sunshine takes over and my wings are dry. I can fly through any darkness! I can if I try! The rain so angry, the wind so foul. Mad that I am flying off into the night like an owl. I take off and the wind and rain stop. Ha! I beat them! Now I'll never stop!
This poem is justa quirkier version of my life right now. I hope this encouraged you to not give up. There's always a glimmer of hope. |

Untitled May your beauty overcome me, Oh Glorious Lord. May your beauty steal my gaze from all other ones. My heart is ready, and this time I'm willing. Do what you've gotta do, just overwhelm me. I want your beauty to manifest in me. May it shine for all the world to see. Let your beauty be known to me, help me live in purity. Just come and take me over.
