The Kingdom is growing indeed

Cry, I am beginning to think we should link, I think we are on the same page in so many ways. Yes, as Christians we have settled to just barely make to heaven. I went to a prayer meeting yesterday and I was sharing on selfishness. I believe that as Christians it has become about us, about how God can see me through, how God can provide this for me....it's a me thing and yet so much is happening in the body Christ that does not please, that doesn't glorify His name...and we are turning the other way. We don't want to make enemies or to offend anyone...besides, salvation is a personal thing right? Well I am tired of that, I am tired of living for me, I am tired of watching and keeping quiet and not using what God has placed in me. I am tired of being selfish and not loving the way I should.

Mordecai told Esther, maybe you were placed in the Kingdom for such a time as this. I don't have to be in everybody's business, don't get me wrong I will not tread where it is not necessary but I will not let those that I can influence get away with just barely making it to heaven.

Been reading the book of Ezra and there is a part where he finds out that the Jews had intermarried and he just tore his clothes and wailed before the Lord in repentance and I was thinking....well...that is extreme Lord! And the Lord told me, how many of my people today have settled in their marriages and who has cried out on their behalf. When the Lord said light shall not mix with darkness, He meant and not just then, even now. I looked around and as Christians the sins that surround us have almost become part of us. We cant even tell yourselves apart. we are not separated enough to feel the heart beat of God.

It's scary I must say, coz then I think where do I draw the line and He says I will take you only where I can sustain you. So I don't pick my fights, He does coz then I know He can win them. We are not here to fight against everything that comes but we can show the way, we can give a sense of direction and where we can lead we will. All we have to do is be available to be used for the glory of our Father in heaven. He alone is Holy.

So I am beginning and unknown journey and the only instructions I have are let no man take my glory. It's about His glory, His people, His chosen ones...I am just honored to be part of it.
