It is that time of Year that make makes us look at the past year and decide did we do something great or are we glad that year is over. As for me, I have peace of mind because I am part of something bigger than it was one year ago.
I often wonder, wow did I see every opportunity, did I look in the places that God had for me, Did I miss it more than I caught it? This year, I can was one of the busiest years of my life. I went like crazy doing and going and there were times that I fell like a rock ( hence the reason last weeks sermon is not on the net…;0) and there were times that everything went like I saw it happening. Praise God for those times!
Was is the most important for me is that I stay true to the call and vision that God has put me under. With all the opportunity that there is out there for people who are younger and talented (that is most of you out there reading this blog post) there is so much to take you away from the call of God on your life.
So many choices things to experience and see and all of them fairly good and wholesome. There are the exception to that but there is a lot of Great opportunity there for you. But the question remains.. Are you going to plant in the vision that God lays out or will you wait for the BBD? (bigger better deal)
Whats funny is that we live in a culture that refuses to engage in anything because they are waiting for the BBD. People tell me all the time they will be some where if something better does not come up. I do my best not to take up the offense.
See that can be part of the startegy of the devil. Don’t do what is in your heart now because there is coming a BBD that will be there if you wait. Often, when we move out in the plan that God has for us we are the BBD. See we become the BBD when we burn enough for something to take steps to see it through. There are a lot of talkers out there who have good ideas. My challenge to you is to do more than talk.
6 years ago there was no Flood Youth. Now that group has notional influence. 1 year ago there was no 808. Now we are making an impact here in Sarasota, and I am working to impact the bay area and beyond. It just takes the time to respond to the call of God.
You might say you were older than me… well I started at 24 with little college. But I love Jesus and have a passion for Him and His works. I have put time in coming under Restoration because the vision that comes from Kenton Slabaugh is bigger than me, and him and most of those who are part fo the church now.
In fact I am part of something that has vision to be bigger that it can even imagine. My slice of this massive pie, at Restoration Fellowship, has started to mobilize. I am super excited because after 6 years of being here the things we have worked for are starting to come to pass. I have worked to see the BBD and now I am realizing it and I am able to share with those who have come into the work ministry with me.
Here is some of the BBD coming to US:
