Hey babe! I know. Two episodes back-to-back? Well, what would you do if the Lord called you to sup at 4:30 AM? What began as a seed of thought yesterday surfaced in my dream, brought me to my knees, sent me to my Word, and then led me here. In this episode, I reflect on the current state of the nation and the church. There's a blatant link between the two. Pollution, chaos, confusion, and false leaders exist in both. It reminds me of the timeframe in the Gospels. Some people were stubborn and unwilling to accept revelation and change. Others were trying to introduce truth, direction, and salvation. The split was problematic, systemic, and epidemic both then and now. In this episode, the Lord allows me to use the lens of Jeremiah 1 to illustrate the response we should have -- "to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build and to plant." However, the emphasis cannot be on the latter two steps until the former processes are enacted. How do we do that? We must learn and understand our identity, the importance of prayer, the critical role of the Holy Spirit, and the need for a strong foundation in faith and the Word of God. It's time for us to get off the ride of religious behaviors and come to a place of authentic spirituality. When will we become aware, accountable, effectual, and emblematic of Christ and His church? This conversation is tough, but I still extend a loving and graceful invitation.
