Dear Contemporary Christians
April 13, 2015
He wants your identity solidified in Him, not in your success, vocation, achievements, or family.
Wake up all you nations.
The Lord is ready for your heart to yearn for His heart, not the next episode of the Walking Dead or the next movie. The couch is empty. Life is flying by and you are missing out.
Wake up all you nations.
The Lord is ready for your hands and feet to yearn to serve for His Kingdom, not posting a tweet, updating a status or beating the next enemy on the video game. The controls are empty. Life is flashing past you and loneliness is still breaking your heart.
Wake up all you nations.
The Lord is ready for your mouth to speak life and Truth. What does your heart desire to spread? Do you choose life or do you slander your neighbor? Do you celebrate others or are you bitten by jealousy and comparison? Do you encourage your Family or do you criticize their mistakes? Your mouth is a powerful weapon. Life is waiting for you to be a vessel, not the next victim.
What enslaves you? What chains are locked around you? Fear does not hold you down. Lies are pierced with His Truth. His blood won the victory. You are a child of the Father. His love wants to be lavished. He wants to give life abundant. Freedom is the key. Will you choose to unlock the chains? The keys are extended to you; you only need to reach out. Receive.
Do you want to see your name lifted high or the King’s name lifted? Where is your attention? Are you working out of motivation for the kingdom?
It is all for Your glory, Lord. We act out of faith. We are captivated by Your goodness. Pour Your Spirit into our hearts so that we see as you see and our hearts love as your heart loves.
You hold each of us inside the palm of your hand.
What a sweet sweet place to be.
Alive, loved, surrendered, used, humbled, whole, secure.
