Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
--1 Corinthians 4:2
God has been showing me more and more that I cannot hide this power He has put inside me for change. In the past, I was able to set my passions aside for a moment, just to be normal, but I can no longer do that. These desires that God has placed on my heart are always at the front of my mind...I cannot escape them. God has confirmed what His will is for me through so many things, but I feel this all picking up a driving force. Yesterday I had a very powerful dream that confirmed to me the life I will be leading after I leave here, and this morning after church, someone prophesied over me, confirming that same thing. I am no longer content being a bystander in this world where there is so much oppression and injustice...heaven needs to be brought to earth, and that won't get done by people sitting around debating theology or saying one thing and doing another. Here at ACU, I am appalled at the amount of money spent keeping people happy. That money could be saving people, feeding people, curing people; but instead it is used to get more money from the alumni or draw a bigger crowd to Sing Song. There is much to be done in this world, and I am no longer content with waiting around for someone else to do it. There are people that need to be fed, children that need a place to rest, and women that need someone to stand up for their rights as human beings. In His Word, God calls us to these people SO many times...so why is it so easy for people who call themselves "Bible scholars" to ignore their cry for help? They are crying out to us, God is crying out to us to go to them, and to comfort His children.
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has recieved from the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
--Isaiah 40:1-2
Don't be content. Get your hands dirty, and take risks for the sake of Christ and for the sake of His children.
--1 Corinthians 4:2
