Bringing the word consistently; breaking chains; helping the orphans and widows daily; and living
a life of servitude. See what He sees, hear what He hears, go where He goes. Sometimes I feel like I am running and running, to the point where at the end of the day I am physically shaking. The days are filled and I accomplish so much; but in the end there is still an unfulfilled ache. What are my accomplishments for if they aren’t glorifying God?
I really enjoy my job and the people I work with, but I still know that there is a different work for me. I think everyone with Faith knows that, but we get too comfortable in lukewarm living. We have to get uncomfortable. The fact of the matter is, God wants to use us to better this world. We are equipped to break the bondage of those bound and to bring life to the lifeless. The news isn’t getting any bette,r and the headlines each day are depressing. It’s time for more movement.
This is a movement the Church needs to start and by church, I don’t mean a building. A building is temporary; easily destroyed and forgotten. I mean a body of Christ that is called to bring hope outside of the four walls. The movement starts with us, because we are the Church. It’s time to quit pointing fingers and living in the past wrongs. Stop soaking in the lukewarm water that eventually turns cold as ice. Sitting in ice for too long can’t end well.
What if we could all bring fire to the nations, to our neighborhoods, to our homes? A fire spreads and impacts everything in its path, something needed in a time like this. It refines and consumes things. We can refine things in the name of Jesus, in the name of Love and Hope. Your fire may start out small, but with the right fuel it will intensify. Live it. Choose a side…. hot or cold.
What fire do you want to spread? Do you feel an empty ache at the end of your day?
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
PS. I am still heading to Thailand February 11th. I bought a one way ticket on the Faith that I will receive more money to buy one home. Please pray about helping me out. You can hit the Support Me link or contact me directly to donate. Thank you.
