The Bridegroom's Voice: Constant Conversation W/God Oct 5th Tuesday

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

October 5^th, 2011 - Tuesday

Make My Life Willess Today, Less Of All Things Me,

More Of YOU – ALL IN With All Things Of Your Kingdom,

Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage And Strength

In Christ and by His power, I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy, will serve His purposes and honor Him and Him alone with a whole-hearted love, from an undivided heart of deeply-attentive devotion… for Him only! I, Kimberly Ann McCarthy will diligently pursue You, Father God, this day as my constant connection, conversation and courage. Be my excellence today Lord Jesus, choice by choice I hope huge to step out in Your right living by Your Truth. Followship will be my heart's desire as I purposefully and diligently pursue Your Kingdom plan-purposes and deny my excessive self-indulgence and selfishness.

Hebrews 11:6

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him"

Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has
no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
.. The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.
Quote By -- Rick Warren

Great God! Great GOD Travel Adventure!

I hope the wisdom gained from the struggle of my soul to be ALL IN With God, will cause you to have this same desire, this same Holy Alignment! Love you! God Bless You!

I am ALL IN! Lord I really believe that I have finally "settled it" for this season of my life. Oh what a struggle it has been and I am sorry for that Jesus. I know that YOU have called me to Georgia and I am called to YOU 1st. YOU have a Kingdom Purpose for me being in Georgia that is greater than my having a steady home and a normal life in North Carolina. I have been chasing the comfort of what I have known, instead of surrendering to the ONE I know to be the all of the everything of my life, YOU Lord Jesus! I don't understand YOUR ways and I have a human tendency to cling to my ways. Normalcy and a scheduled life according to my expectations and my life perspective and safe experiences, gives me great comfort and doesn't stretch my courage past my fears and human inadequacy. If it was my choice, I would not have any God Adventures! Only a completely surrendered life in YOU, Lord Jesus can equip me with the courage, wisdom and power I need to live in the flow of YOUR Kingdom Purposes and make an eternal impact with my life here on earth as it is in heaven.

Therefore in order to grow, in order to be used by YOU for the new things YOU have planned and destined for me, there can be no normalcy, I must not cling to my human expectation, I must cling to YOU. I give you all the things I want for my earthly comfort here, in trade for Your Kingdom purposes being brought into the reality of all the lives You divinely connect to mine during this season of time. I dream a dream from my life, YOU see a completed picture, of the vision YOU have for me. When I cling to my earthly human expectations, I see nothing of YOUR Kingdom purposes that are in play all around me. When I cling to YOU, in complete abandonment of YOUR Sovereignty, I see with clarity my next step that brings me into the flow of YOUR Kingdom purpose and steps me out on the firm foundation of YOUR Provision of Wisdom, Discernment, Strength, Joy, Hope, Promise And Peace. YOU JESUS, and YOUR Sovereign Will is best for me, even if from my human perspective and understanding, I can't envision YOUR Way as being the preeminent or the most comfortable of ways.

I WILL, I DO sacrifice my will, my dreams, my wants, my expectations, my plan and surrender the all of me to the ALL of YOUR Kingdom Will and Way. I desire to be ALL IN with YOU Jesus and YOUR Kingdom Purposes. It makes no common sense having a beautiful home here in NC and leaving it and all my possessions behind to live in Georgia, in a small rented apartment, furnished with nothing that is mine. But to YOU, it makes eternal sense, because You have a plan in mind that has nothing to do with my comfort and everything to do with the advancement of Your Kingdom. I get it Lord, for the 1st time I truly can say, I get it and it is well with my soul. I want to be YOURS and I realize that nothing I have here or my plans I have for my time here, have any kind of eternal impact. I want to be a part of Your Kingdom, empowering Your Purposes so others will reap the benefit of eternity, the joy of living in their today ALL IN for You. I want to be used to point others to You, Lord Jesus, to Your Holy Spirit and the power of Your Word and the precious relationship they can have now with YOU, from every moment to every choice. I want to be used to deeply encourage others to be ALL INTO the flow of Your Kingdom purposes and be used by You to change hearts, minds and the Kingdom destiny of each individual life, You divinely connect me too.

So Here I AM! Send Me! Jesus! I will be called to YOU 1st, in complete followship of YOU. I can do nothing in and of myself; in fact I am pretty weak, emotionally foolish and pathetic without YOU. I can't see ahead, nor would I pick the right path for myself because in my human condition, I always seem to lean to human comfort; YOU tilt me into the Sovereign Sway in Holy Alliance with YOU, and then my life is truly in balance with Your Kingdom Purposes and in right alignment with YOUR Peace, Joy and Strength. May it be so for me, I will bow to YOUR Sovereignty, be called to YOU 1st and die to my dreams, human expectations and excessive self-indulgence every single day and "Leave To YOUR Sovereign Sway"! Jesus lift up my head, higher than my dreams, my wants, my human expectations; lift up my head Lord God to Your Kingdom, help me to gaze upon Your Precepts, Promises And Purposes and be a part of the power of their flow from here to there unto forever! AWE-GOD! Going To Grow Leaving To The Sovereign Sway!

My Heart Thoughts From This Song: Worship Wisdom! Changing Me!

Give to the wind your fear Hope and be undismayed

God hears your sighs and counts your tears God will lift up, God will lift up, lift up your head

Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command

Then shall we wandering on His way Know how wise and how strong

How wise and how strong God will lift up your head

Through waves and clouds and storms, He gently clears the way

Wait because in His time, so shall this night Soon end in joy, soon end in joy

Soon end in joy, soon end in joy God will lift up your head

May God Lift Up Your Head Higher Than This Earth And Earthly Expectations To Kingdom Purposes and May You Leave To The Sovereign Sway And Go In Kingdom Purposes Growing In Christ Jesus Every Single Day. AMEN!

My Heart Thoughts From This Song: Worship Wisdom! Changing Me!

We all want that moment in time where we can touch eternity and make a difference that lasts. That moment begins and ends in Christ Jesus. We want to feel eternity in our lives, yet we can't do it unless we give our lives to Jesus Christ completely and walk in the power of His life. In His life we can be more than we ever thought we could be and He makes His dreams our dreams and makes a way for us to invest in His Kingdom as we engage with excellence in our life. True freedom does come when each moment to every choice is lived out of God's Way, Truth and Life!

#Prayer takes sacrifice of human time that is translated into an investment in God's Kingdom with an eternal gain. Kimberlymac

leadership wisdom from Ron edmondston blog

Here are my top 7 values as a leader and why I hold them:

Responsiveness – I believe leaders are required to be responsive to those they wish to lead. If people don't hear from you they make up their own scenarios, become afraid, and lose interest and motivation. (I've written about that before HERE.)

Accountability – Leaders are extremely vulnerable individuals. Sometimes the leader is the last to know there is a problem. Power in leadership can lead to problems with pride and corruption. (I believe and practice this personally and have written about it numerous times. You can read one HERE. I even offer specific consulting to help leaders in this area.)

Grace – No leader ever gets to the top without a tremendous amount of grace along the way. Isn't it only fair that a leader reciprocates the grace received into grace given? (I write about grace and forgiveness frequently. You can find several HERE.)

Authenticity – If a leader wants people to follow, he or she must be trustable. That requires realness and transparency. (I wrote specifically about that HERE.)

Integrity – Leaders are taking people places where they may not be completely comfortable going. If a leader has been granted trust, he or she should honor that trust with honest and moral leadership. (I've frequently written about this value. You can find one instance HERE.)

Change – Organizations that stand still die. Change brings momentum and creates opportunities for growth. Leadership development happens best during change. (I've written about this in my personal life HERE and numerous times organizationally, such as HERE.)

Intentionality – Nothing happens without action. You can have the greatest dreams and they will remain only a dream without a plan, a strategy, a system and genuine effort. (Intentional is a word I use frequently with our staff and challenge it in our church. You can read a post example HERE.)

What are your personal values as a leader (or person)? I'd love to hear your top 7. They will most likely be different from mine, but that's what makes the world of leadership so interesting. Different leaders…different values.

My Thoughts About This:

My highest value as a servant-leader, is being called to God 1st. My worth is found in a personal relationship with HIM and my leadership is always in complete followship of Him, because without His life flowing through mine, I am nothing and I can not lead anyone to anywhere that makes a difference without His favor, His power, His Word, His Life in me and through me. My number one leadership value is Jesus!

1. Jesus! Called To Him 1st Over Ministry-Causes-Life Assignments 2. Holy Alignment Vertically To Jesus And Horizontal To Others 3. Living Intentionally- Engaging Others With God's Character In The Lead – His Word As My Foundation: Everyday-Everyone-Everywhere 4. Encouraging/Exhorting In Every Divine Appointment 5. Daring To C.A.R.E 6. Sacrificial Salvation- Investing In The Kingdom By Investing In The Value Of Others 7. Always Love-Always Truth From Each Moment To Every Choice

john Maxwell on leadership

1. You Can Move Up a Level But You Never Leave the Previous One Behind

Now that you've seen the levels and learned the basics about them, you may assume that a leader climbs them, leaving one to arrive at the next, similar to the way one moves up a staircase. But the truth is that you never leave a level behind after you've achieved it. Instead, you simply build upon it.

2. You Are Not on the Same Level with Every Person

Leadership is dynamic, and it changes from relationship to relationship. The same is true for the 5 Levels of Leadership. I may be on a different one of the 5 Levels with each of five different people at my job. Someone the first day on the job will acknowledge only my position, while someone in whom I've invested and whom I've raised up to lead will likely put me on Level 4.

3. The Higher You Go, The Easier It Is to Lead

Here's some good news. As you work to climb up the levels of leadership, you'll find that it gets easier to lead people. Each advance allows you to be more effective in leading others because your influence increases as you go to a higher level. As your influence increases, more people follow you more readily. Limited influence, limited leadership. Greater influence, greater effectiveness.

4. The Higher You Go, the More Time and Commitment Is Required to Win a Level

Which is harder? Being given a leadership position (Level 1) or getting people's permission to lead them (Level 2)? That's pretty obvious. It takes time, effort, and commitment to develop positive relationships with people. How about moving from Level 2 to Level 3? I believe it is harder to become consistently productive than it is to make friends. It's even harder and requires much more time to go to Level 4, where you develop people to become good leaders. And it can take a lifetime to become a Level 5 leader who develops leaders who in turn develop other leaders.

There is no easy way to get to the top. And each time you go up, you pay.

5. Moving Up Levels Occurs Slowly, But Going Down Can Happen Quickly

I've had people ask me, "How long will it take me to become a Level 5 leader?"

"A lot longer than you think" is my answer. Building always takes a lot longer than destroying. A lot of things have to be right to climb to a higher level, but sometimes it takes only one thing going wrong to cause someone to fall. While it's unsettling to think about how quickly one can fall from a level of leadership, I hope you can take solace in this: once you've climbed up to higher levels, the ones below you function as a safety net. So the more you've advanced up the levels, the more secure your leadership is.

Eternal Rewards

He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. Hebrews 11:26

26 He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense).27 [Motivated] by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible 28 By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out….

Eternal rewards are based on a disciple's efforts on earth. A believer who ignores their spiritual opportunities and obligations will miss out on their Heavenly Father's affirmation and remuneration. But those sober saints who take seriously their Savior's expectations will enter into the joy of their Master. Christ rewards obedience to Him.

Rewards in heaven are meant to be a godly motivation. Yes, our first response is to serve Jesus out of love and our overflowing gratitude for His goodness and grace. And it is wise to fear the Lord and allow our holy awe of the Almighty to be foundational for our life of faith and works. But there is an end in mind that Jesus wants His children to be compelled by in their daily devotion and that's anticipating His generous gifts.

"For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done" (Matthew 16:27).

It is a process of renewing your mind with an eternal decision-making filter that facilitates biblical thinking and doing. Perhaps you ask the Lord in prayer how He wants you to invest your life in others. How does God want you to use your experience, your assets, your time, your money and your influence for His purposes? In other words, how can you make eternal investments on earth that bear fruit for God's glory?

What you do does not get you to heaven—this comes only by faith in Christ and God's amazing grace. But what you do after becoming a follower of Jesus does determine the quality of your eternal experience. The persecuted and martyred in this life have a great reward waiting in the next life. Those who initiate resources and influence on behalf of the poor and needy brings such great satisfaction to Jesus that He expresses rewards in bountiful blessings. Indeed, He rewards those who diligently seek Him by faith.

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Love your enemy and your reward will be great. Be a faithful witness who plants or waters the gospel of Jesus Christ and you will be rewarded by spending forever with eternally grateful souls. Send your money ahead to heaven, by aggressively giving it away on earth. Resist, even reject rewards from the culture, so that you are positioned to receive Christ's rewards. Remain faithful to God's call and look forward to His reward.

"Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done" (Revelation 22:12).

How can I live my life in a way that honors the Lord and looks forward to His rewards?

Related Readings: Amos 6:1-7; Isaiah 54:2; 2 Peter 1:3; Revelation 2:7-10

My Thoughts About This:

It is so hard for me to think about being rewarded for living a life, I did not even deserve to live and only live because Jesus stood in my place, died for my sins. This is a difficult thing for me to think on, but if YOU have something for me to learn, Jesus. Help me to do so, set aside my discomfort and learn from this.

Leadership!

Leadership and Influence is the same thing. People who influence people are leaders. If you are a leader without influence you have a position and you don't truly lead people's lives. If you teach people how to influence others, you teach people how to lead others. The greatest way to influence people is by adding value to them. How can I add value to people? Ask that question and implement it. When you increase your influence, you expand your leadership.

My Thoughts About This:

How do I add value to the people I come in contact with today? The 1st step of gaining value and influence to me is bowing before God each day. My 1st step out as His servant-leader is down. Bowing before Him in respectful-submitted AWE, I ask each day for more of His influence and less of mine. His Favor moves hearts and He adds value to peoples' lives that nothing in this world can corrupt. I have no influence without His Favor. My 1st call is to God, not my leadership, because without His influence in me and through me, I can't lead anyone to anything valuable or lasting without being in a Holy Alliance, a personal relationship with Jesus – positioned in perfect alignment of His Word. Everything about being a leader who influences others is about being ALL IN with God, His Way, His Truth, His Life.

Exchanged Life

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24

There is a great exchange that takes place when a person places their faith in Jesus Christ. Their old way of living is replaced with living for the Lord. Their old way of thinking is replaced with thinking on the truth of Jesus. Their old way of speaking is replaced with speech that is sprinkled with the grace of God. The old has passed, the new has come.

The life of Christ becomes the life of the follower of Christ. No longer are we led down the dead end road of unrighteousness, but we are set free to journey down the less traveled road of righteousness. We give up what we could not keep, our life on earth, in exchange for what we can keep, eternal life in heaven. To a watching world it seems foolish to give up for God, but what we get from God, forgiveness, peace and love, is true life.

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory" (Colossians 3:1-4).

Have you surrendered yourself to your Savior Jesus? Have you given over to Him trust in your own goodness and good deeds in exchange for His holiness and His Spirit-filled power? This great exchange of the temporal for the eternal is what gives you the capacity to grow in grace and to become a person of great faith. However, an effective exchange requires the receiver to have faith in the giver. God is a generous giver who can be trusted.

Maybe you have believed, but have lost your way and you need a refresher in righteousness. Perhaps repentance has become a foreign language for your heart and mind. Let loose of your old life of fear and doubt and replace it with your new life of trust and security. Put off pride and put on humility. Put off anger and put on forgiveness.

"In Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through your faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead" (Colossians 2:10-12).

Make this great eternal exchange and do not waste another day. No one has ever regretted receiving from Almighty God His agenda for their life. The Lord wants you in exchange for Him. Jesus wants your life in exchange for His life. He wants your troubled heart in exchange for His tender heart. He wants your fears in exchange for His peace and calm.

"If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved" (Romans 10:9-10).

Have I exchanged my old lost and selfish life for Christ's new life of love, forgiveness and service to others? If not, why not now?

Related Readings: John 17:3; Romans 5:12-21; Galatians 2:20; 1 John 5:13; 2 Timothy 1:9-10

My Thoughts About This:

If not, why not now! I love that! I also feel the urgency of giving my human condition to Jesus and taking on His Character, His Strength, His Wisdom, His Personality because all of this He has given me to equip me for what He has called me too. I feel the urgency to tell people about God about the amazing relationship of AWE- respect-humility-submission you can have with Almighty God. Holy Spirit help me to do so every day in every way with every one You divinely bring me too. It is just so important in times such as these that there is more of YOU and less of me. Jesus!

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Proverbs 27:1

DO NOT boast of [yourself and] tomorrow, for you know not what a day may bring forth.

Amplified Bible

Thoughts As I Listened To This Chapter:

Let another praise you and not your own mouth or lips… Provocation by a fool is heavy. Anger is cruel but who can stand before jealousy. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. To the hungry what is bitter tastes sweet. The pleasantness of friend springs from earnest counsel. Better a neighbor near by than a brother far away. Anyone who treats me with contempt, treat with love. A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping. Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another. He who tends will eat… As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man. Crucible for silver, a man is tested by the praise He receives. Riches do not endure for ever….

Proverbs 28: THE WICKED flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion. 2 When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but when the ruler is a man of discernment, understanding, and knowledge, its stability will long continue.

My Thoughts About This:

This reminds me of my friend on twitter, who is constantly speaking the truth about our politicians and calling them into account. I heard someone say recently that they vote according to this principle: I don't want anyone leading me that is not following after God with all their heart. The stability of our country has greatly declined in the last four years.

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, you're in the midst of the Days of Awe!

2 Peter 3:9-11 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

From Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur there are ten days. The Lord gave these days to Israel to prepare for His judgment. They became known as the Yamim Noraim – the "Days of Awe". It has been long believed that during these days one's final destiny was sealed concerning the Book of Life, God's eternal Book of Judgment. Thus every year the Jewish people have observed these days with great reverence and repentance so to be right with God and with men.

With all that's happening in our world, events pointing to the soon coming judgment or "Day of the Lord" – we could easily call these days the "Days of Awe". And in one way, these days are even more significant than the days of Eternity – simply because the days of Eternity do not determine our days on earth – but our days on earth do determine our days in Eternity! That is an "awesome" fact!

Kimberly, these days of awe impel and stimulate us to repent, to confess sins, and to refresh and renew our faith in Yeshua (Jesus). Let's take the opportunity of this season to restore our relationships with both God and man. The Lord is waiting for you, and there are human relationships too, that are waiting to be healed. So don't put it off because, after all, these are Days of Awe!

My Thoughts About This:

Lord I do have some broken or not so much broken but very dysfunctional relationships in my family. I don't know where to start. I have tried before on my own, trying to be the peacemaker in my family and it just crashed and burned, making things worse off. So I give it to YOU now, completely Jesus and I ask YOU to lead and I will follow. I do desire these relationships to be restored in YOUR Way and I ask for Your forgiveness for my part of the dysfunction, for my giving up and pulling away from them. I know for a season, You did ask me to separate myself, but that season has been over for a while and I am the one stretching it out, it has been so nice and peaceful to be away from all that dysfunction.

#StickyJesus http://stickyjesus.com/

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19 – 23, NIV

By Tami Heim

Every generation experiences debate and conflict when it comes to unpacking the intricacies of faith. As new Internet platforms emerge, believers garner easy access to delivery systems that give voice to their religious convictions and biblical interpretations. This generation's public square is dynamic, emotional, and digitally documented for the whole world to observe, search, and reference.

The online network stream exposes all sorts of faith-based controversies. When you see them surface listen carefully, be slow to engage, and don't get worked up or angry. Instead hold fast to the truth and then you won't be overwhelmed by the tensions. It's imperative you not let the beauty and simplicity of the Gospel be convoluted and lost in a vortex of theological argument.

Remain centered on the pure and holy intention of God's vision,

Christ's mission,

and the charge of the great commission.

In Paul's letter to the Galatians, we learn how Paul confronts Peter and leads him back to the central truth of the Gospel. There's much to study from Paul's example and how it applies to an online contender and champion of the faith.

How do you confront someone with integrity and respect?
How do you do it in a manner that honors God?

1. Take personal inventory. Go deep and check of your motives, Be confident and know what's compelling you to publicly respond or react to what you've observed. Be certain this is God's aassignment for you.

2. Evaluate: life, death or both? Ensure the issue you are about to confront is relevant. Weigh its value. If it's left unaddressed, would it impact the eternal outcome of another human being?

3. Speak specifically. Isolate the point of contention that begs for your response and be as specific as possible. Clarity brings alignment and closure quickly.

4. Employ the royal rule. Communicate with respect. Engage in a manner that builds up, not breaks down another people.

5. Keep it real. Don't heap unrealistic standards, expectations or legalism on others. Be gracious, don't judge.

6. Get to oneness. Offer solutions or conclusions that bring harmony and support unity.

7. Address the problem, not the person. Attack the idea or behavior, not the person. Critique the problem objectively and push to promote greater collaboration.

8. Act Now. If an issue requires immediate attention, don't delay. Confront it NOW.

9. Remember who you are. Look in the mirror often and don't forget what you've seen, where you've been, and whose you are by grace.

10. Build bridges. Encourage and as affirm as much as possible. Strive to replace conflicts with bridges of reconciliation. Be different-than-expected.

Have you ever had to defend your faith online?
What did you do?
What was the outcome?

Be straightforward about the truth of the Gospel. Love it. Live it. Defend it. #always #LiveSticky

My Thoughts About This:

Yes I have and yes I have had successes and failures and it is because of my position. If I am in a position of defending my cause, my thought, my way, my "say so" then I fail. If I am positioned - Holy Aligned with God, in a perfect Kingdom Alignment with Him, His Truth and His Love, I succeed not for me, but for His Kingdom. Nice Words, but how in the world do I get there?! Holy Aligned and Perfect Alignment… hmmmmmmm well for me it begins with an Omnipresent Reality Check on my knees each morning, bowed before God and throughout the day taking Omnipresent Reality Checks, knowing I am in His Presence and being in AWE of the responsibility of being His servant-warrior. My 1st step out each day as His servant-warrior is down, bowed down in reverent-humble-awe in the fullness of humility of knowing who I am and WHO He is and it is there, bowed before my AWE-GOD in complete surrender, in willessness, I ask Him for less of me and for my soul to be saturated with more of HIM. All day long I re-check my position so I know in every divine appointment where I am. Am I being God's? Am I called to God 1st? Is my motive about being ALL IN with God, being found in the flow of His Kingdom purpose, or is it about supporting and defending my ministry, my occupation, my cause, my "say so"? Hmmmmm is my 1st call to God? I guess that is the question I challenge my heart with and I do it constantly-consistently as I am engaging with others. My human condition requires me to make adjustments in my position throughout my day, realigning myself with JESUS at the center of my all, in Holy Alignment with His Kingdom purposes, His Truth, His Love, His Way. AWE-GOD! What a huge responsibility it is to be a servant-leader for Almighty God, it humbles me to the core of my being and simply-significantly, I am not up to the task without Jesus Christ being the all of my everything. Oh God…. Please help me! I want to serve you most and best, leading others to You and Your Kingdom for now unto forever!
