No More Apathy.

So I am sitting here in an overcrowded townhouse bedroom. I am upstairs and set up between two other guys on the floor, and two other guys on the other side of the room. The fan is blowing hard, and trying to keep us cool, as the humidity and body heat cause quite a warm environment.

On my left, Andy Bird. He is an amazing firebrand from the main YWAM mission base. He has been there 10 years and is full of zeal for the presence of God an the nations. On my immediate right, Lucas Skrobot, director of the Burn Denver. He is locked and loaded, watch out - fire breather.

Other side of the room - Jim Errod - He gets the bed, as he is the elder of all of us. He is on the senior leadership team for YWAM in Kona, Hawaii. He is an amazing father, as he has labored 35 years launching ministries, and missionaries (all the same as living sacrifices) into the farthest darkest corners of the earth. He is pouring out blessing and approval on the movement that we are so embracing.

Last, but certainly not least, Nathan Fray. He is an individual living in a community house/recording studio/24-7 house of prayer in Knoxville, TN. Amazing testimony about how determined kids can too be a part of what is going on to influence film and music with a $0 budget. Yeah, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

As I sit here sweating, neck kinked from being in an awkward position between two random guys and trying to be quiet and comfortable, I realize that I have been born for two things. I have been born to worship, and I have been born to birth a wide spread knowledge and understanding of a kingdom principles.

I can’t sit back any longer and say, I know how to network, and I know so and so, and I can get this for you know who. I have to use the tools - people and resource and money - that God has given me to pursue the cause of the greater good - the Glory of God in the earth, which is the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all those that are deemed worthy enough to accept the responsibly of losing our lives, so that we might gain it. (That is every human by the way.)

I am inspired and I feel dwarfed by such accomplished individuals, who have 50+ stamps in their passports, and commissioned thousands of missionaries and have even more testimonies to the things God has done miraculously in the recent past. However, I feel as though all of us have the one thing that matters, and that is why the network is formed, and why things are accelerated, and why prayers are answered - We love Jesus, and we are dedicated to the Kingdom being advanced in our hearts, in our families, and in our local communities. It is just icing on the cake when our visions go international.

I was reminded by one of my best friends the other day, as he mentioned the things he would tell someone if he only had a moment left in his life. He said the following:

1) I would say, “Seek God.”
2) Look for Jesus. He’s the only way.

We are all tied together as the priests, whores, saints, moms, prophetic glory stir swirlers, and fathers, all of which are called into order as the HEIRS OF GOD. We are to pursue the things in our hearts, which God planted in our souls in the realm of free will, well before the foundations of the earth were established, to accomplish with blazing speed and zeal the will of God in the earth - which is to exalt God in our praise, establishing His Kingdom in our hearts so the world might know of our love. There is no higher calling. There is NOTHING ELSE.

So, I could write on and on and on and on about the revelation of the Gospel in my heart right now, and tell you of testimony after testimony of what God has done, is doing, and what He promises to do. I won’t because the answer is simple. He has placed something so big in my heart, that I could only complete it with Him, for Him, and with Him in mind. He is the one I long to please. And yes, I could never really please Him, but I choose to be ignorant enough to know that I can seek after His heart to see His purposes built, established, and accomplished in the earth, just as they are in heaven.

So in that, I pray that Lord, you would train us up to think of the future generations, to think outside of our box, and to think of your will, pre- the through the wringer of our own minds, and allow You to soak us with Your anointing - raw - powerful - purposeful in it’s distribution, that You might pour out your love, and allow our sons and daughters and grandchildren to see Your return because the great commission was accomplished in the earth out of the earnest prayer, intercession, worship, and love and care that You instructed us to operation in and around.

Blessings be to our God, the Lord of hosts, and the lifter of our heads. May You never cease to show us how big You are, how loving You are, and how worthy You are.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, and may fire come in the Spirit of the Holy One of Israel, revealing the only burning man, Jesus Christ our Lord, who is the way the truth and the life - leading us to eternal life of submission and service to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
