I have so much to learn. I have always struggled with processes – I would rather ¨get somewhere¨ than embrace the way there. I am starting to accept however, that our lives are journeys (epic ones, in fact). The idea of a journey is that we´re always moving toward something (or Someone). There is always learning and growing to be done.
I am learning that there is a balance between empowerment and humility. I have been very excited recently that God would use us ordinary people – that He would reach out to the people He so dearly loves through us. That he would give us authority over the spiritual realm, to be able to command demons in the Name of Jesus Christ. I am amazed that he would give us the gifts of healing, prophecy (supernatural knowledge about someone, used to build them up), mercy (having His heart), and others. This is exciting! It makes me want to get out there and take back the earth and the people therein that belong to the Lord (Psalm 24:1)!
At the same time, I have to keep my motivation in check. I have been tempted to want to see people know the Lord or be healed or whatever so that I could say I was a part of something miraculous. I have wanted Mallorie Daughter of the King to do great things. How sad that I have forgotten at times that apart from Him, I can do nothing (John 15). It´s simply not about me. It´s about Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belong to Him, for He came, He lived perfectly, He died for us, He rose again, He conquers, He heals, He loves perfectly, He frees, HE REIGNS. Please pray that I will be able to balance the empowerment He gives with the humility that comes from my empty hands.
Gloria a Dios. (Glory to God)
