How can one live in Christ, and be even freer than free? It is the power within granted by the Savior.
Jesus is a different sort of cat. He’s not a leader. He’s not a shepherd. He’s not an idol. He is an enabler.
Jesus is in the equipping game. What’s the equipping game you ask? Well, in the normal world, powerful governments do things like equipping rebel armies. Companies equip their employees. Parents equip their children. Why? To succeed at their given missions.
God has two general desires, and every other thing you do for Him circulates around them. God wants you to multiply and He wants you to win. That’s it. Bar none. Everything else feeds that. God sent Jesus to provide future generations with the faith necessary to do those two things regardless of circumstance or obstacle.
When my daughter was born, God looked down on us and told me to set her up. I really already knew what that meant, since my father had done the same with me. He had taught me about Christ and He had provided me with the tools that I need to be an effective minister in my world. Have I succeeded?
You don’t succeed unless you win. What is winning? Winning is a lot of things, but essentially it is moving God’s Kingdom forward. When you do it through Christ, you are ministering, healing, fellow-shipping, praying, and changing things. They all fall under the umbrella.
I’m sure some of you have decided that winning is not what God really had in mind. My reply to that is….noooooope! Folks, this is a lost world. This place is designed to blow apart sooner rather than later. What God is doing at this stage of the game is collecting as many souls as possible before this world has outlived its usefulness. You can go on and on about the eternal battle between God and Satan, but don’t for a second believe that its going to happen in the Atlantic or Pacific or something….a la Lake of Fire. That’s just not the right way to picture it.
This is a round and round chase. It continues and continues and continues. Then it stops, and then it starts again, and in between all of that, enormous energy is created. That feeds the machine of existence. This is something that has never done anything else. The perspectives on it, the worlds, the people, you and me, we are here to fulfill the purpose that God has designed for us. And for us, here, in this place, that means spreading the faith, and becoming effective prayer warriors rescuing people who are lost souls.
Look at yourself. Are you producing and succeeding with that production? Or are you just wasting time.
