I'm posting for the first time from my mobile phone. It seems I can do anything from my iPhone: order groceries, pay bills, surf the Internet, probably adopt a couple kids too! It's no wonder I have "iPhone elbow"!
I'm so blessed to say that my heavenly Father has continued to move in my heart concerning a great change of focus. And He's a very systematic, methodical God; He lays the foundation and patiently builds from there.
The first revelation: my Christian life has been segregated from my "normal" life, and both have been Reese-centered.
Second: God has given me freedom, grace, money, time and much more that I will be called in to account for.
Third: I've ignored my calling, The Great Commission and God's expectation for me to care for the poor, rejected, and outcast.
Fourth: Christianity as I've known it must end. I'm not called to my own comfort or to an easy, self-indulgent way of living. I'm called to pour myself out for others even as Christ did for me.
What this looks like in my own life is still somewhat of a puzzle to me, though God is laying that foundation as well. First and foremost, it's prayer. Early morning, late night, all day prayer. Charles Finney recognized intercessory prayer as the single most important factor to revival, along with speaking God's word. If I can't give my time in prayer how can I be satisfied with giving anything else?
Along with that is my testimony. How will our enemy be defeated? By the blood of the Lamb (done!), the word of their testimony and not loving our lives so much we wouldn't die for Jesus. What I tell others about how I've been set free- about this great hope I have- matters! A lot! It's crucial!
I want to be faithful. I WILL be faithful. That's my choice and I will see it through.
Prayer meeting, anyone?!
