The mission... Should we choose to accept it...?

Hey guys and gals!

Philippians 3:18-21 says:

18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Sharing the heart of God means that we weep over a generation of lost souls. But in the midst of destructive living, perversion, guilt, and shame we are called to bring the hope of Jesus to the hopeless.

Perversion means the wrong version. People are following their stomachs because they are looking for fulfilment. Looking for the love of God. Humanity was destined, designed for relationship with Daddy God. This is the reason we are alive. The secret longing of every human heart. The world has a wrong definition of love because they don't know that God is the origin of love. They delve deeper into sin looking, hoping to stumble across love, fulfilment, acceptance. These are the things that we receive through intimacy with Daddy God and the world's substitute will not satisfy.

God is longing to fulfil the dreams and desires of the lost. He wants desperately to pour himself into the hole in our hearts that nothing else could quite fill. This is our generation. Not the world's generation, ours, and therefore, God's. God has sent his army of revival warriors to redeem his people and bring them home to their Father's house.

Satan tries to use shame and hopelessness to separate humanity from God but there is an answer. You're it.

We are the ones called to actively (not passively) participate in the writing of history. The requirements of a world changer are not much. You don't need a theological degree or to be one of the "special people". Jesus gave us commandments and a commission. I'm beginning to understand that they aren't separate things. In order to change the world, to make disciples of all nations and advance the kingdom of heaven you just need to follow the simple procedure as Jesus instructed us to.

Step 1. Love God

Step 2. Love people

The challenge: love requires action. Love requires you to weep over the lost as Jesus does. Love requires you to love strangers,old friends, and people who hate you equally (perhaps that last one even more so). The two commandments that Jesus gave us to live by are not just nice words to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, they are a formula for revival. They are the answer to the desperate pleas of a generation on the brink of self destruction.

The requirements of a world changer are simply that we are capable of love and we keep hope, no matter what. We live in a paradox where we are actually incapable of changing the world and yet that is the destiny that God has set before us. The breakthrough comes when God works through us to make what was previously impossible inevitable. Standing on the shoulders of Daddy God there is nothing that can keep us from achieving the ultimate goal which is revival!!!
