I write all that is below because I feel I should share a glimpse, and that is all it is, of what I have come home from. I share it with you not to make you jealous, but to create within you a longing for the things of God. We are too content. Thats what was revealed to me this morning at church, I called people to hunger, thirst, longing, to want to chase after Him, to see His words bear fruit. Read what God has said He will do, read what Jesus said about Himself and his kingdom and our authority, read it and then declare it. We are living with the bar set too low, we are far too satisfied and content with where we are and the tiny things we are asking for. How big is your God? I ask again, how big is your God? Sit under His waterfall, ask for Him to fill you so that you might be brimming, that you might be poured out to everyone you come into contact with. Stop being comfortable and satisfied. Divine discontent. I dare you to pray for it ;)
"You were not always a Martha"A word from the Lord for cell last night as we stopped for a while to just wait on Him. I record it here because it cut me deep and I need to remmeber it. And not just it, but the tone with which it was said to remind me of the sweetness of my Lord. Never does He speak in a way to elicit guilt and condemnation. He spoke the words so gently into my spirit in such a way that instead of feelin guilty and reprimanded, I felt loved and longed for. He calls us to stop for a while, to recognise that there will always be jobs needing doing, but to just sit at His feet and enjoy Him. They will get done, all fruitfulness flows from intimacy, seek first His kingdom, be Mary.
