Overwhelmed
with thoughts as I ponder what revelation and insight I should share
with all of you. Josh and I just completed the World Race in May and
after a whirlwind of visiting family and friends, we are now in Spain.
Since we arrived we have been more than assured that this is exactly
where we are supposed to be right now. My mind is brimming with new
understanding and I am completely inspired. We are a living and
vibrant church as we live in a deep level of community; feeding each
other with encouragement and truth. And, I am constantly being
challenged by the leadership and their unconventional wisdom, as old
thoughts are shattered and new paradigms emerge.
We had a homework assignment last week where we were asked, “What
mountain are you willing to die on?” They shared with us that If you
don’t know what you would die for than you don’t truly live. Now every
moment it is completely quiet I find myself pondering that question. I
have come up with a rough draft to this answer, but it is exactly that,
rough. And, in all honesty I don’t have the answer really figured
out. Here is what I have come up with so far.
What Mountains am I Prepared to Die on?
God spoke to me many times over the last couple of years that have
all led me to this one conclusion. That God’s dream is my dream and
the mountain I am willing to die on is the mountain of God’s dream
becoming a reality. I am willing to give up myself wholeheartedly to
release thousands of others; awakened and alive into Kingdom living,
ruling and reigning with Kingdom authority and power into the entire
world. I know that I am called to equip and lead this generation to
speak life into all the barren and chaotic places and breath forth the
life within. We are the generation that will transform this earth from
a place of brokenness and darkness to a place of Grace and God colors.
I can see the hope rising from the ashes and God’s dream moving forward
as an army of united, lovesick worshipers take back dominion over all
the earth. I will die to see us win this thing. (Because, guess what
WE DO WIN THIS THING. It is just whether we are going to be a part of
that generation that decides to break the curse of history and actually
go for it!)
Needless to say, being at G42 Leadership school is both challenging
and making come even more alive. We ask tough questions and learn from
one another. I am being stretched and I am growing immensely.
Currently we are learning about the Church and Equipping. It has been
great to go back to the roots and truth of scripture and challenge my
American paradigm of church once more. I know that when we leave here
Josh and I will be equipped, (not having everything figured out) but
ready to begin and create as we fall forward in obedience to God’s call.
Thoughts to ponder: Ask yourself the same question, “What mountain
am I willing to die on?” Or, what are you going to truly live for?
