So this last week for my Spring Break I went on a trip called Big Break with Cru. It was soooo amazing. I cannot express how much God moved in Panama City Beach, FL. Mostly God made me realize that all of His children (the saved, the broken, the lost, the searching) want to hear about His love and grace. I’m telling you if drunk college students on Spring Break want to hear and listen about who Jesus really is than I cannot think of anyone else who does not. If we are just obedient, if we just talk to that one person. It’s a ripple and it will spread into something beautiful. Not because of what we did, but because of what the LORD does.
“My God’s not dead. He’s surely alive. He’s living on the inside; roaring like a lion.”
– Daniel Bashta
I’ve been so restless since returning. I want to rely on the Holy Spirit with every conversation just like I did in PCB. I want to become reliant on the Holy Spirit that even when I feel like I can do everything on my own, if I ignore my pride, I realize I can’t do anything on my own.
I cannot raise this money on my own. I cannot buy the equipment on my own. I cannot be joyful through the stresses of graduating. I cannot be prepared spiritually for this trip on my own. I cannot get over my laziness on my own. I cannot love the Lord on my own.
I literally cannot do anything on my own. And it sucks!
I want to do it all on my own. I want to be independent, but the more I realize how dependent I am on Christ. The more secure I become that nothing, not even death, can stop me.
And I’m not special… God wants the same for you. God loves you the same way He loves me. Will you say yes? Will you call out to Him to be your everything? Will you allow the Holy Spirit to work through you to bring His glory?
Our Lord is alive and we can be the generation to spread His name to all nations, to help bring Him back to reign on earth.
So speak with boldness. Proclaim our living God to all nations. Jesus is not a secret. He weeps for the world to know Him and love Him.
“For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”
Job 19:25-27
Job 19:25-27
“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”
Acts 4:31
P.S. I love this song. If you have time… Take a listen 🙂
