WAKE UP CALL!!

ok .. so imagine this.. you're in your death bed, you're old you're dying many years from now(or maybe soon uuuuyy) and standing around you are the.. songs that you never wrote, the sermon that you never preached, the blog that you didnt have the courage to write, the new ministry that God gave you that you thought nobody would care for, the ideas that God inspire you with but didnt make the time to bring them to life, etc,etc. and they're looking at you like.. you are dying and WE are going to DIE WITH YOU!! why? BECAUSE ONLY YOU CAN BRING THEM TO LIFE!! because all the things that God Allmighty put in YOU.. HE put in you alone! nobody else could do it but YOU! he trusted YOU with it, he gave you that purpose! he gave you that ability! he allowed you to go through that experience! through that pain! through that moment when you felt lost.. you and only you!! who else can write that song? who else can preach that sermon? who else can write that poem? who else can speak in that conference? who else can organize that event? who can pray like you? who can intercede like you? who else can touch that person that only you can touch or reach? who can hug, kiss,smile like you.. you and only you!... so... DO SOMETHING!!

do i have what it takes?

do i have what it takes? many times i have asked myself that question.. will i just live an ordinary life? will i stay in my comfort zone? i refuse.. i rather die young living at the edge for Christ than live long and comfortable on my safe zone (phil. 1:21) will i be like everyone else or will i be unique?, will i be what HE called me to be? yes! i will stop whinning and complaining about what i dont have and start using the tools that he has giving me for the kingdom! i have realized that all the great men God used in the bible were ordinary man like me .. Elijah was a man JUST LIKE US! he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain.. james 5:17 -18 what!!? the great prophet elijah who didnt see death because God picked him up in his chariot of fire (2 kings 2:11) is a man like me??! with fears and insecurities and the list goes on and on!! moses didnt want to face pharaoh (exodus 4) david was the youngest, neglected, forgoten son (1 sam. 16:11-12) samson was not even supposed to exist because his mom was sterile (judges 13:2-3) daniel was captive in an unknown land, in another culture, in another world (daniel 1:6) matthew was a tax collector..(mat.9:9) im sure the irs was much liked even back then lol. peter was a poor fisherman. (mat. 4:18-20) paul was a pharisee (acts 7:58) (phil. 3:4-5) these men and women had limitations, fears and doubts also, some were poor (shepperds, fisherman,slaves, etc) some maybe had some bling (kings, governors,tax collectors,etc) but something that all these great men have in common is that they learned to trust God with "everything", their hunger for God was greater than their hunger for food! their need for a relationship with him was greater than the need of a relationship with a man or a woman, to live for God! to die for God! not letting their situation define who they are! their identity is in Him! their name written in the book of life! to walk with God or not walk at all.. to stand against the storms of this life standing on the Rock who is Jesus The Christ! to challenge an already defeated enemy!! yes! already defeated! to proclaim that NOTHING shall separate us from his love! (rom. 8:31-39) so what is your excuse?... you dont have parents? you dont have an education? your not rich? you're too rich? you're sterile? you're in an unknown land? you're just a shepperd? you're too young? you're too old? you've failed before? i encourage you to realize the power in you. stop making excuses. put on the armor of Christ take up your sword and take your city from an already defeated enemy! i dont see the diference between paul and you, david and you, the apostles and you, you serve the same God, you have the same spirit, you've read the same word,. then what are we waiting for? God awaken us! give us another Jesus movement!
