Some thoughts I have been having today.
Until a few years ago when asked about the Lord, after I got my wits about me after frantically trying to work out how exactly to word myself, I usually ended up having very little to say, if anything at all and would be left with a feeling of utter impotence.
I mean, I knew stuff – lots of theory, but whenever I tried to explain about the theory as a fact or reality in my own life, the words just rang hollow…even to my own ears and so the words just remained as they were when read in a book – lifeless theory.
There was no Supernatural Life in my life and so no Supernatural Life in my words.
Everything we have in the Lord is from the Lord. It is all through His supernatural intervention, whether it is our hunger for the Him which leads to repentance and on to salvation, then our continued walk with Him after salvation, it is all founded, grounded and all held completely Divinely Supernaturally both by Him and in Him.
All of us who are called of the Lord by name and who know His voice ( John 10:3 , John 10:27) are required to be a vessel through which the Gospel is shared – to disciple others in His Name ( John 10:16 )
It may be only a few times, or it may be an ongoing, ever increasing happening. It may be to a friend we have known our whole lives, or it may be a complete stranger sitting on a bus or who is serving us in a shop or perhaps even a dying family member. The number of times is of no real consequence – they don’t mean anything, but the thing that does count is that we remain completely open to the Lord and His leading every time.
Some of us might think that we have no call on our lives, but in what I am sharing here, I am not talking about the call to preach, just the simple sharing of God’s Life in our lives as the Lord leads folks across our paths or us across theirs and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us in each and every situation. We have to wait upon His leading otherwise we will do it in our strength and not His. There will be no Supernatural Life in that.
Sometimes we may not be required to speak at all, other times we may be required to say a whole lot. It matters not which, only that we are willing to let the Lord help Himself to every single area in our hearts and in our lives and to have no agenda of our own. That understanding too, is supernaturally brought by divine revelation to bring each area of our lives along His line of thinking and to fullness of Life in Him. That is the only true Life now.
The Lord bless you
