This was a much needed reminder.
God is calling us to action
We need to be the hands and feet of Jesus outside the four walls of the church.
The Lord is calling us but can we hear the call.
I challenge us to spend more time with Jesus in prayer and Bible study and less time soaking up what the world is tossing at us.
As I am sitting and reflecting on the life of Jesus, it really hurts my spirit that we don’t walk like He did. We don’t lay hands and declare miracles over people. When is the last time you saw a miracle or experienced one. The Bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
So if those things aren’t happening and God doesn’t change then what changed; our hunger. We get so filled up on what the world offers us that we can’t receive what God is trying to pour into us.
We become what we put in our spirit. If we fill up on things that feed our flesh then we starve our spirit man. My hearts cry is Lord fill me until I overflow. Don’t pass me by Lord. It’s time to walk like Jesus did. We have that same power living in us. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t understand. Trust that the Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you. All God is looking for is a willing heart.
Mark 16:15-20
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
