Kingdom Calling

GOOD MORNING KINGDOM!
It has been several weeks since I delivered my first Message at Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship. Finally, I have some time to comment/follow-up here. I’d say life has gotten in the way, but it’s not life, but God, and He doesn’t get in the way, He IS the Way!
I want to thank all who prayed for me during the time leading up to my first Message presentation. Prayers are always a good thing. In this case they were surely felt, and answered. And of course, thanks to all our friends and family who came to hear the message, or who tuned in and watched the live-stream (or the archived video later.) My prayer is that the Holy Spirit touched your heart and revealed what He is doing at the Fellowship, and around the world. If you like what you saw or felt with our service, come back in or tune in again.
I give Jesus Christ all the glory and credit for calling me for such as time as this, to ministry. He has shown me the importance of surrendered life, and instilled in me the passion, the desire, the drive to live such a life. And more importantly, to spread that Truth so that others may be free in surrendering as well. After calling me He has been equipping me, by peeling back the layers and revealing more and more of his Word, and has brought a number of people into my life, to help further that understanding. Lately, I’ve been sensing a revival coming – a back-to-the-basics, grass roots approach. That was part of the reason behind my message (There’s Freedom in Surrender.) Once God calls us to salvation – and we accept the call – we must seal the deal with our complete surrender to His will. It is then, and only then, that God can use us to further His plans.
You know how when you buy a new car and you’re excited because it’s so unique you’ve not seen one like it? Then how, on the way home from the dealership with it, you begin to see the same car everywhere? Well, since my message, I’ve been hearing the same or similar theme (complete surrender, doing God’s will, Jesus speaks – we obey) in others’ messages, podcasts, even in casual conversations, Facebook posts and songs.
The Holy Spirit is moving and the body of Christ is beginning to respond. It’s resonating everywhere. Don’t be left behind! Surrender to His Will! Obey! Be a part of His Solution by following His plan for you.
On Sunday, our Worship team sang this song (Move). Everything the Holy Spirit has been placing in my heart this last month or so (maybe even longer) was embodied in the lyrics. Take that positive step TODAY to join the revival and spread God’s plan.
