Days Gone By...

To my faithful fans and loyal readers, I apologize for being absent these past two weeks. There has been so much that God has been shifting and wrecking in me and it's been a trip to process it all.

Two weeks ago, I prayed the prayer, "God manifest your glory in my life. Shake us up. Do something." I have to encourage all of you reading, this is a very dangerous prayer to pray. God is moving in every area of my life.

Here are some things that I have come to understand in the last two weeks, each should have their own blog, but for the sake of time, bullets will have to do.

* No one will understand the call nor the burden that you carry. I'm  not just talking about the title "pastor" although this is a tough title to carry, the burden is personal. I know what and where and to whom God has called me to in this season. It doesn't make sense to others why I am where I am.

* The place where God calls you is a place of sacrifice. It requires more of you than you ever expect or anticipate. However, the rewards are well worth the present pain.

* I don't like discipline. It's tough when you feel like you are constantly being disciplined by the Lord. However, the rewards of discipline are well worth it.

* God's timing is far superior to our time. If His design of the heavens is any example of the kind of designer He is, His timing is far more immaculate. Be encouraged, wait on God, His timing.

* This world is desperately broken and desperately in need of the saving love of Jesus Christ.

So the prayer continues, "God shake us up, do something in our lives, be glorified in and through us. Continue  your discipline in our lives. Be King of our lives. Shake us up."

Bless the Lord

God is wrecking my world, minute by minute, He has my full attention.
I have a job interview today and I'm in the place where I don't want to do anything without God's permission. I want the Glory of God to infiltrate my life. Everything that I do and all that I am, be fully saturated with the Presence of God.

God, Be Glorified in my life. Be lifted high today. Bring us to a place of unity. Wake us up God. Wake up your bride. Shake the foundations.
