I wish I were fearless. I wish I could summon up the most profound strength and just make things happen. I think in a way if I were fearless, I would not have the opportunity to let God do work with me. I will briefly explain what it is that I want in life, and I hope this is not too invasive or frustrating, but this is what I want.
My big dream, my huge dream, is to start a church that is vibrant and on fire for the love of Jesus Christ. I am not talking about a church that picks up certain people and leaves others out. I want a church that encompasses everyone that is curious about this Jesus character I love so much. I want to challenge the world by letting them know that there is a right and wrong way to live and that all of this doing of things that are of the flesh is really selfish and there is just way more to life than being selfish and living for the moment. I want people to be sparked by my words and what I really want is to change the world. I want to change the world for Jesus Christ. For some of you, you know that I believe very strongly about something to come in the future. I do not know the future, nor would I ever say that I could know the future, but there is a feeling in my heart that grows every day. This feeling gives me a heightened sense of things in my life. This feeling I have is that I believe with all of my being that there is an awakening coming soon. I know, I know, an awakening? YES! An awakening. I believe in the power of Jesus Christ and I believe there is a lot more work to do before He returns to this earth, but I do not think it will be long now. For this reasoning, I believe that it is up to me, and my generation to lead the way to the awakening that is to come.
I have been to churches with the elitist mentality, and they are dwindling. I have been to churches that give and give and give and they are growing. I have seen the good in people, ordinary people. I have seen the effects of the wind that God is master over. I look around me, and having seen the mountains, am astonished by the beauty and grace and craftsmanship of those mountains. I say with confidence that the same God that created the mountains is the same God that calmed the sea. He is the same God that sent His son to die on the cross for my sins and He is the same God that will be worshiped in the future awakening. At the end of Revelation, Jesus says that he is coming soon. At the end of John, he says its is not for us to know when. So, my brain deduces that it does not matter when he is coming, it just matters that when the awakening starts, that I do everything I can to further God’s Kingdom.
I wish I was fearless, but if I were fearless, I would not fear God. I believe he can make it happen, and I cannot wait to be a part of it. The point here is possibly, that with God, I can be fearless.

Food for thought: If Jesus came back right now, what would you say to him about your life? Is it making a difference? Is it devoted to Him? Does it show love? Is it sexually pure (oh yea, I said it)?
In closing, are you prepared for the awakening?
