What do you do when someone looks you in the eye and tells you that you are an evangelist or a prophet, or say that you have the gift of healing or prophetic worship?
Being a “Baptist kid”,
my first instinct is to run screaming that these people are crazy!
But I’m not talking denomination drama but rather truth!
What if there is truth behind the mist?
Would you risk the truth and miss deeper places of His heart?
What if He has more for you?
What if we believed it with our very core?
I’m not trying to stir controversy. I find it all in Scripture so I have to believe that there is a call on our lives to become FULLY ALIVE!
Man, I want it, don’t you!!!!
Think about it …Jesus IS life.
And He says in Luke,
“I have come to give you life and life abundant”.
He’s literally saying “I have come to give MYSELF to you…and in ABUNDANCE!”
Rain down on us, Jesus!
I was listening to a David Crowder song the other day and he talked about “Jesus washing my feet”. As a leader, I have washed the feet of those who were following me, but I never thought of Jesus, the real deal JESUS, bending in the dirt to wipe the dust from MY feet!
Shouldn’t it be the other way around!!!!
I tattooed my left foot with the words “The one whom Jesus loves” with a lily next to it which means “restored purity”.
It makes me picture His hands caressing the words marked not just on my skin forever but as well as upon my heart…and it’s a crazy humbling thought. But in a way it’s a call for us to arise.
I think of Ephesians 6 during the “Amour of God” section that says “feet fitted with the Gospel of peace”.
Its as if Jesus washes our feet, rains himself upon us cleansing and purifying us, and then He ties the sandals of Truth upon our feet and sends us out to be messengers of His love letter for the world to bring order and peace in the chaos.
It’s a love thing, but it’s a mission!
It’s a love thing, but it’s a mission!
Like a daddy releasing his child into the world with a detrimental assignment because he trusts us THAT much!
And you know what I am beginning to fathom and grasp?
I was created to be loved! Guys, there’s a God out there, so just RELAX. Breath,
be,
live,
rest,
dance,
sing,
scream,
run,
whatever!
be,
live,
rest,
dance,
sing,
scream,
run,
whatever!
And know in you’re heart of hearts that you were loved first before you could even grasp how to love.
When you begin to take hold of this truth of love in its entirety…
trying and pleasing stops,
shame and guilt are gone,
and the true “you” begins to blossom.
I heard God tell me this week, “Kate you’re not letting me love you.”
Deep breath, “show me how God”.
If we but let ourselves be loved by the God who is Love,
if we let him caress and wash the dirt off our feet,
if we receive the Life in abundance which is our beautiful Jesus,
if we emerge as our true selves awakened to a call,
would there be chaos left in this world
if we let him caress and wash the dirt off our feet,
if we receive the Life in abundance which is our beautiful Jesus,
if we emerge as our true selves awakened to a call,
would there be chaos left in this world
or would there remain only footsteps in the sand that brought the Gospel of peace to a generation of people waiting to be loved!
