Have you ever seen someone so anointed that you would often times say..."Man! I want to be like so and so", Well this isn't a revelation for me, but for some of you who have said that and maybe even are modeling your ministry or life in general off of someone that you admire...You have no idea what they have gone through to get to where they are! I have experienced a new level of anointing and I tell you, it's lonely and people misunderstand you a lot. I see things so much more spiritually than before and so there are things that totally vexes my spirit, but others around me don't see what I see and wonder why I'm not laughing or why I am not in the conversations. It's because I am waiting on what I need to do next for God. I don't want my life to be filled with meaningless carnal filters, but I am on a mission to see souls delivered. This past Sunday Bishop said to check your temperature...are you hot or cold or just lukewarm? I want to be hot! Everyday I want to be at a consistent temperature, it has it's pains, it's rainy days, but God's Grace breaks through the clouds and gives me strength to stand. Growth has it's pains, but I'd rather have a temperature than to be walking around cold-dead or lukewarm-sick. I'll take the pains...The bible says if I suffer with him, I'll reign with him. I encourage you to keep growing, that's what we are supposed to do. The bible says "from glory to glory", so lets grow together!
"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you who have little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name." Rev 3:8 God never forgets the works that we do! I can remember countless hours of standing on my feet ushering, or many miles traveled to support other ministries. I remember numerous Sundays being in the office completing business. So much labor. I had to grow not to complain about how much our life was consumed by works...in fact I had made that the main thing and obliviously forgot about my relationship with Jesus. Thank God for his grace! Through His patience with me coming through his word, I was able to gain the revelation that I needed to refocus! But even then He still did not forget about my works. Because of my diligence and commitment to ministry, he has now allowed me the opportunity to share the gifts that he has given me. It's amazing the doors that have been...
