Placed inside of each of us is tremendous ability! Before the foundation of the earth, our loving Father, decided that we would be a part of His plans to do beautiful and amazing things in the earth. Your relationship with Jesus connects you directly to the heart of the Father so you can know His plans for you! Think about it…God could have chosen to do it all alone, but instead He decides to give all of His children a role to play! The enemy thought he could thwart God’s plans with the little stunt in the garden because he was too dumb (he is so dumb) to realize that God is not reactionary, but proactive. Before the foundation of the earth the Lamb was slain so that there would never be any separation between God and his children that couldn’t be restored!
Expand your vision of the blood! The finished work of Jesus does so much more than access into Heaven once we depart from this life. It gives us access to the very heart and plans of God so that we can create Heaven here in this life! You’re here because there is something for you to do. Not just something boring, but something amazing that reveals God’s love and creativity!
We see people do amazing things all the time, but how much more could any of us do, if we realized that God Himself desires us to maximize our creativity? What happens when we realize that there are still ideas, concepts and inventions in His Hearth that haven’t been revealed to us? What if we decide to seek Him for what He longs to do through us? We often talk about worshipping God, but limit it to singing, lifted hands and tear. However, if we follow the model of the trees…true worship occurs when we fulfill purpose. Trees do what they were created to do, how about you? How were you created to worship God? Maybe it’s through song. Maybe you are an artist or an architect or an accountant, fashionista (you don’t think God has great fashion sense?), scientist, playwright, world class athlete, pastor, motivational speaker or teacher. Whatever the gift or gifts, we all have the privilege to maximize them so that God is glorified.
The book of Romans tells us the earth is groaning, longing for the sons of God to manifest. That’s more than going to church…that’s about taking your place as a child of God for the purpose to allowing His plans for you to shine in the earth. I often tell my children, “It’s not pride to want to be great; its pride to want to be great without God.” No one can be created in the image and likeness of God and want average and mundane living! You were created for great exploits and adventures with God leading the path.
God is so diverse and longs to show the diversity we each have. Let’s put away imitation and embrace our individuality. Let’s also celebrate our unique makeup and the distinctiveness of others! Come out the box! The world needs your best!
I’ll close today’s blog with a poem my Miriam Williamson. I pray that you are challenged and respond to the challenge by taking massive action to discover and become who the Father created you to be! We’re waiting!
Our Greatest Fear —
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
