Happy Wednesday Fam!
These past few months I have been engaged in active spiritual warfare and yesterday I really had to hear a deeper revelation as to reasoning for the depth of it.
I thought: "my God what is the deal with this?" I felt as if the more I trusted God, the harder this season became. But yesterday while stilling myself, He began to share with me that for the level of ministry I'm destined to participate in, I must understand what it's like to be at the BOTTOM! WOW "God is you sure I be the one?" LOL
So today, let's ask ourselves: "can God trust us enough to completely disrupt our lives even if done publicly in order to save someone else's, giving Him the glory in the end?"
If your answer isn't an immediate YES, let's explore how to get to that point. The Lord doesn't allow us to experience public humiliation via divorce, abuse etc. to get back at us for sin. You'd be surprised how many people actually believe that! He does it in order to create a level of trust within us. Think about it: if God can trust that even after flipping our lives upside down, inside out we will still press and not give up, we're a major access to Him. He often allows it to be public in order to strengthen our witness when the testimony is shared with others, because they physically saw us at our worst.
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Matthew 9:37
There is so much work to be done in order to manifest the great commission which says to go out and baptize all nations in the father, son and holy spirit. Unfortunately, the laborers are few as a result of not desiring to use the power within to sustain trials. Reflecting over history past with renown leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is evident the dire need to have willing workers for the kingdom of God. As a result of his willingness to sacrifice a life without struggle, God was able to use him to change an entire world. "CHANGE" may be President Obama's platform, but it came through the turmoiling birth canal of Dr. King. Dr. King endured temporary public humiliation and personal devastation, but he received both public and eternal glorification in the end.
The bible highlights in multiple locations that the Lord will NEVER leave nor forsake us. If He brought us to it, He has every intention to bring us through it! So we ask ourselves again: "at what level can God trust us in order to make us strong workers for His kingdom?" This is another one of those self evaluation blogs, where we began a list evaluating where we are. Keep in the back of your mind as you complete your list, that He sacrificed Himself because we were the "work." We were created to be His instruments, let's get to work!
Until Friday~Be Blessed
