This past week I have been in Atlanta for Launch, preparing with B-Squad as they get ready to embark on their 11-month journey around the world.
Before they arrived in Atlanta, I got to spend some alone time in my room to focus and hear from the Lord as to what he is saying for this next year.
There I am in my room, worship music on, bible open and me just pacing back and forth praying, declaring what this year will bring.
As I am listening, I hear that still small voice speak.
What He said was not a new word for me, but a reminder of what I prayed for a couple of months earlier.
He reiterated to me that I am going to Fail this year.
Yes. Fail.
It’s one thing to pray for something, but it’s another thing to be reassured of a challenge that is going to happen. One that will be tough but yet fulfilling.
Why would anyone want to fail? To risk more!
So I looked up the word Fail to find its meaning. The definition of Fail is, “to be unsuccessful in one’s goals.”
That’s exactly the type of failure I am going to walk in. I don’t want to be successful in any of my own doings. Eveything I do, I want them to glorify Jesus and who he His.
His kingdom come, His will be done… Not my own.
Too many times have I tried to do things on my own strength and will, but this time why not fully give myself to what He has planned. It will be better in the end even though I may not understand at that direct moment.
Matthew 6:33 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you.”
Simply enough,
This year… I will Fail.
