There is far too much contemporary emphasis on what you can get and who you can be.
This is no secret to the Soldier of The Cross who daily stands before the Lord and declares his determination to die daily and to take up The Cross and follow Him.
There is, however, a truth in the assertion that many Believers seem to think there is a place where the Lord allows things to just operate and where things stay the same if there is enough prayer and effort.
Wrong.
The enemy loves to assault the Church with distorted teachings of things that are delicate and beautiful, such as teachings about the gifts and the incomprehensible blessing of God.
Soldier of The Cross, this is not about being all you can be. This is about dying to self so that He can be revealed through your eyes, your mouth and your life decisions. It also means the Holy Spirit needs to be allowed to move in your thoughts and bring you a vision for something that far beyond anything that could possibly happen.
After all, that's what He does. The impossible.
May He do it through you?
Tell Him. Aloud.
Today.
