We have no idea
January 26, 2008
I recently sent an email to some people saying about how I don’t see other people other than my team much and I occasionally see my family. This isn’t a default or a that’s just the way its turned out to be. This is a mandate for me. Is this the desert or not? Is this a battlefield or not? This is what he’s calling me to. But for his sake and my sake, what is he calling YOU to?
God has trained me specifically for the work he’s called me to. Am I going to lay down my sword on the field and trot off to go and entertain something menial? I know there’s a simple answer and I know there’s an eternal one. (I love you Stacy). The eternal one is that nothing in this life matters but the work God’s called us to. I know that sounds dramatic but for me this has proven true.
God has been preparing a work for us, his people, to be a part of. He is looking for ones that are sold out to his causes, his heart, and our relationship with him. I never knew how much until now. I am sure and hope that he calls me to more. I am chained in to the ground here and my chain gets shorter and shorter and my cry is getting louder and louder, “YOU ARE WHAT I WANT LORD!” “THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!” meaning the very center and no where else of what He’s calling of me DAY to DAY. Everyday. There is no weekend in his kingdom. Again I might be sounding unhealthy, but I trust his word. These paths lead to life. If we really want to be about what we say we’re about. If we really want to walk like Jesus walked, more of ourselves have to die. Did the John the Baptist take weekends? Did Elijah put God on hold with the Baal worshippers so he could tend to his house or person or family? Do we even HEAR about Elijah’s family? Could he not have loved them till the day he died? Well actually HE DIDN’T DIE, HE WAS TAKEN INTO HEAVEN BY THE HAND OF GOD.
Where are the Enoch’s of my generation Lord? Where are the Elijah’s? Raise up a generation that would move your heart to show up! Raise our expectations in this hour! God part the heavens and COME DOWN. Nothing less God. You’ve been preparing for this hour since the beginning. ABRAHAM HAS NOT YET LAID A HOLD OF HIS PROMISES! God all of creation is groaning and waiting for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed! God GIVE US A HIGHER VISION! GIVE US A HIGHER VISION!
Is it worth to you? God’s asking his people right now. Is it worth it? Am I worth it? Is what I’m offering you worth it to you? Would I ask you to give all this up if I was not giving you multitudes more? Have I not told you that in my word? Do you know how much I love you and that I’ve parted hell so that you can fellowship with me eternally and co-reign in my kingdom? Hell is not the rightful place for my kings. Do you know what I created you for? And that its not the stuff going on around you right now? I have always had a plan for you to be with me. Oh, if only you could see what I see, He says. You would run. You would run to me like I run to you. If only you knew what I have planned for those who love me. Trust in my heart. Dare to follow me and trust in my heart. Even the depths of it which you have not yet seen, but only dimly.
Mercy in this hour for your body Lord. Grace in this hour for your body God. We want to walk in heaven today. I am declaring and asking to walk in heaven today. That means more than Holy Spirit benefits, that means eternal perspective and the death that comes with it. Jesus! We have no idea what it means to be whole hearted! Not a clue! Mercy in this hour Lord that we would not compromise on the very riches you hold out to us; not for the meal laid before us; for the ‘okay things’ temporary things that our senses perceive now. Let us not be Esau before you God and throw away that which is our inheritance in Christ because of the normal comfort of what we want in this life. Help me Lord. Help me hear the urgency of your heart in this hour. Redeem this hour for the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16 Redeem time through me Lord. Redeem the time. Redeem the time.
He is forming a holy bride and has beheld her glory for Christ. The fullness of the intimacy of your heart and the only priority of your life rightfully belong to him if you represent his name his on earth. My question is, does he own those two things in your life? Are they mostly yours and some his or do they belong WHOLLY to him and not at all to you?
