I love a well coached Football team

I love basketball dunks 

I love great cream filled donuts

I love love karate

I love great paintings

I love beautiful tattoos

I love a well trained guard dog…

 

But here is a secret… I can’t do any of those! 

And guess what… thats your problem too! 

 

 

Ever wonder why you don’t have as much influence and power to change people as you would like… and yes I am speaking specifically as a spiritual leader i.e. follower of Christ.

 

I know sometimes we pray for more influence, more power more miracles, signs and wonders. A deeper understanding of God… 

 

Transition… 

You know as I have read biographies of some of the greatest men of God. Charles Finney, Spurgeon, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Billy Graham, The list could go on and on. One thing I have noticed with these great men of God is that they all came to a reckoning of their need for God… let me put it another way… they all came to an end, a hunger and desire that created a spiritual pit in them where they knew that if they were going to be used by God in the way they wanted- they would have to be leveled by his Spirit and changed in a way that went beyond their initial conversion. 

They saw their holes, their flaws and their little foxes… and it finally bothered them in such a way that it drew them to an all out “give me God or give me death”.

 

What is funny is that when you study the greats of the old and new testament they all have similar stories. They all have stories where it’s God or nothing. They have all been led to times in their lives where its beyond hard… it literally comes to a decision of what do you really want and what are you willing to do it. Do you really want to be more like Christ? that is a question you must ask daily and long term.

 

So I am on a quest as of late… I want God to show up even more in my life, in my family in my ministry… out in public with me. And God has kindly pulled back the veil to my heart and asked me a simple question “how bad do you want it”? I am learning to give him permission to strip away from me anything in my life that would stand in the way. Deal with the little sins, the little lapses of faith and the times my flesh just wants to sleep, walk away or ignore his small voice. 

And here is what I have learned more than anything… it starts in my mind. I must get my mind inline with scripture in every little detail. I must catch myself when I have even the little, most tiny thought that is unGodly. 

 

Im not sure why I am on this venture… why I am pushing in more… maybe it is because I truly see our country as unGodly as I have ever seen it, I see pastors more inspired to push their brand than Jesus. Maybe it is because I truly believe we are in the end times… and maybe just maybe I am tired of feeling like I am not as much like Jesus as I should be.

 

 

 

I love football, basketball dunks, great donuts, karate, painting, well trained dogs… But I can’t do any of those so I am left to spectate… 

I am realizing more then ever I can’t have a greater impact on others the world or even my own family… in fact anything beyond what I am capable of just makes me a spectator…  unless I step away from the spectator phase and ask God to teach me and take me to a new level where I can go beyond watching and step into living.
