Breakthrough: Happens when you truly give everything to God. You feel his presence. Hear his voice. You live out his words. Breakthrough happens when you fully surrender everything to God.
I don’t know how.
I don’t know why but breakthrough happened this week for myself.
Weights that were getting to heavy to carry. Identity issues with not playing baseball anymore. Confusion with God to why he is taking me to these places. Contentment issues…
Free! Gone! Released off me! God took it all off me and my voice, life, and weight feels free and able to be used.
It took me being a slave for two months on the World Race to my past, things back home in America I was clinging on too, and just the comforts I’ve been living in. Focusing on those I’ve missed the provision of God. I’ve missed what God is truly trying to tell me.
“You are here for a reason. You are made for a reason. I’ve picked you over, and over, and over again and I always will even if you bat “0”. All you have to do is be intimate with me. Be real with me. Put the effort you’ve put into baseball over the years with me. Give it all to me because I know you can’t keep it. You can’t bare it. So who cares if you look like a fool; give me what you can’t keep” -God-
Being in Mijas the last week almost and talking with locals; they are searching for a God. Worshiping false idols. God has been moving in my life with how I talk to them while I’m here. It might be a simple I love you and God Loves you..but little did I know that a simple conversation would change the emotion.
All I know is God can do anything. He can intervene anywhere he wants and save anyone he wants. He took a boy who’s dream was to play professional baseball to being broken down to my knees in Mijas because the Holy Spirit has shook me, told me, and showed me that this is preparation for what I’m about to bring you through and take you to. God showed up. When everything has gone south: my emotions, decisions, everything and told me you have a purpose here, a plan. A plan I’ve never imagined doing.
I don’t know how to explain it or how to write the words on this blog.
All I know is when you read this blog… I hope you feel the Holy Spirit working in this blog as he did in my life this week. Some will think I’m crazy. Some will think I’m overthinking this. I just know God was telling me: “Ross your stuck, your stubborn, bring ignorant, impatient, and unwilling to submit and truly see the magnificent plan I have for your life because of the Fear you have with submission.”
Chase after God’s heart and let them see the true heart of you; the loving, tender, gracious heart you have.
Signing off from Mijas. Off to Morocco this weekend.
