You're all I want

God has a way of redeeming us. Healing us. And when that moment comes where we think we'll shrink back, or like we'll be given a blow to the face, we are shocked that we don't even feel a budge. But maybe we'll feel it after...like when you go running into something you knew you shouldn't have ran to and then you have to deal with your consequences since you were dumb enough to wound yourself so terribly. Nope. Oh the depths of healing. Today was a great day. Had some AWESOME worship, and heard an amazing sermon on grace. The things I needed. Saw God turn and twist and completely awaken hearts. The power of God. and had a conclusive, informative, awesome conversation about everything important.
They played this at one of the two churches I went to this morning. I loved it. You should read it aloud for dramatic effect. With authority.

"I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.

My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.

I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go ’til He comes, give ’til I drop, preach ’til all know, and work ’til He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have NO PROBLEM recognizing me- my banner of identification with Jesus will be clear!”

Amen

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" -Matthew 4:4
We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
Through everything: highs and lows, moutaintops and valleys, heartaches, betrayal, pain, grief, love, darkness, light, in the shadow of death, in the victorious morning riding on the wings of the dawn, or waiting in the noonday sun... We live and walk by EVERY word that comes out of the mouth of God. Every word written in the Scriptures. Every promise that we have and hold onto in Christ. God has spoken. Lets hold onto his word with faith and trust. Its our sword. Its our bread. Intimacy with God is our healing. Know it.
