God’s Dreamers For The Kingdom of Jesus Christ
This past month has been a very interesting experience in
finding out what God wants me to do and where He wants me to be. The questions
have ranged from where to live (such as whether or not I should go home) to
what I should do for a life ministry.
Life ministry is where whatever you do is a ministry for the
LORD and those you come in contact with, and we have separated the church from
our lives.
Um… Last I remembered we are the church. Separation of
Church and state is nearly impossible unless we choose to decide to never work
in a government position. Church is not just incorporating Church into our
lives like it is an activity or place to be. Every time two or more followers
of Jesus gather together you’re having church. When you’re shopping with a friend
or going to a movie you are having church.
Now wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense. But when has
God’s will ever made sense? He says to sell everything you have and go Love
God, Love others and Make Disciples. We are to be the salt and light, the
loving hand and voice that reaches out and has relationships with everyone as
possible. We are not limited to an event or place and time. We are the church
full time, even by ourselves; it does not stop now that you have decided to be
a follower of Jesus Christ.
We are the church among the world. We have complete freedom
to worship the Lord at the DMV, at the grocery store, at our place of work. So
if we want to see revival, we need to make a choice �” whether or not we are
willing to lose our jobs so that person in the cubicle next to you knows that
they are loved by the greatest LOVER of all time.
Let’s stop going to conferences and retreats and bible
studies and do what we know we should do. Love God, Love our Neighbors and Make
Disciples. This is so simple that it has become hard, because there is a price
to pay.
Do we want to truly see revival, or do we want to continue
to give lip service to our God?
If the church is to Revive to Humble use by God it needs to
be willing to pay that price.
What, then, is the price?
– Our Jobs
– Our Families
– Our Status
– Our Possessions.
What is the Reward?
– Countless opportunities to do amazing things for God and
His Kingdom
– An ever increasing Family of God that never Stops growing
and will stand by you and live with you and for you and for God’s kingdom
during the good times and the bad times
We have a God who sees us as Righteous, Beautiful, Worthy, Chosen,
Living, Light, Lovers, Friends, and more. We have the whole Earth as our
possession. God is the owner of everything and we are His children. He says, if
you just ask it of Me, I will give you the nations.
So then what is God’s
dream?
It is to be able to use every Follower
of Jesus Christ for His Kingdom and Glory and the betterment of Lives around the
world, because God is Love.
So lets begin with just a little of what God has shown me of
His dream for my life. I know and believe He has called me to be involved in
the creative community – starting with a theater company, and then maybe a
tv/film production company or print/internet company. I love the artistic side
of life and the possibility of bringing a dream to print/film/internet is
extremely intoxicating. There are many people in this industry who know nothing
of God and His amazingness and Love for them.
So I am going to pursue this as my Life to bring Life to
others.
God told me that I am Life and that my calling is to bring Life
to others.
As for the next six/seven weeks I would also like to be able
to do this, to continue to bring life to those here in Budapest and Ukraine.
I still need to raise $458.75
So if 10
people gave $45.80 I would
be fully funded.
That is so Amazing
to think about. I started out with Nothing and my Father has provided through
all of you $13,341.25!!!!!!!
Wow that is Awesome!
So Let’s Get This
Race Fully Funded.
Thanks
