A few weeks ago God really laid something on my heart, and I have struggled to put it out there, because a lot of people don’t like to look in the mirror, but the Holy Spirit has not backed down and it’s something he wants me to share…
Evaluation Time:
Are you still in the same place as you were a year ago? Has your spiritual growth stopped, or moved at a snails pace? I’m not talking about have you gotten involved in more ministry activities, or do you go to church twice a week, that’s all good, but it’s really meaningless if you are not growing in God. If you are not moving in God. Are you still drinking baby milk, or still eating baby food, or soft solids? Have you gotten comfortable where you are? Are you stretching, learning, and growing? Are you getting revelation knowledge, or are you just soaking up head knowledge? Have you started to put other things before your time with God, your husband, your wife? Your boyfriend, or girlfriend? Your kids, your job, even your ministry? Has your life just become a routine? Do you read the bible and go to church because it’s something you are supposed to do as a Christian, or because it’s something that you desire to do?
We have close to a month and a half left in this year. God has been trying to do somethings in the body this year, and there are those that have resisted for whatever reason, and He is laying another opportunity out for us to do those things He has asked of us. He has asked the question this year…”Is it real what you feel?” Asking us is it real what we are feeling for Him, or is it just religion, or routine. God desires to take the body back to Eden. He desires for us His children to walk with Him as Adam did in the garden. That is at all times, in all situations. We do not have to wait until we go to church to pray, or wait until we get in our prayer closet to fellowship with God. He wants to talk with us as we drive, while we are working, etc. He wants us to be one with Him, perfectly tuned into His voice. We as the body have had more relationship and give more time to out loved ones then we do our Father, our Creator, the one who loves us more then anyone else ever could. A great Harvest is approaching, and God needs those who are serious. He needs laborers to draw the people in. People that are sick, people that are broken, people that are hurting, and bound. We can not be sick, broken, hurting, and bound ourselves trying to help others. No! It is a time for wholeness in the body. We have to be whole so that we can help those that are not. The times approaching my friends are going to be like none we’ve ever seen. We always talk about trusting God, but can God trust us. Can He trust us to obey when He says do something? Can He trust us that we will pick up and go when He says go? Can He trust us to hear, speak, and DO His word? We do great at the hearing and speaking His Word, but are we consistently doing His Word? It’s time to take a serious look at yourself (myself included). It’s time to allow God to take each of us to the next level, because this is not just about us, it’s about the people that God has called us to. It’s about their minds, their bodies, and their souls. It’s one thing to do something that might be detrimental to yourself, but this is about our disobedience being detrimental to others. It’s time to put all fear and doubt aside and to JUMP! God will be the wind beneath us carrying us to where we need to go. Trust God, and show God He can trust you. God bless!
