if you are complacent, then it is no good.
if you are disinterested, it's no good.
if you are no longer listening, its no good.
if you are no longer pursuing, it's no good.
if you are daily choosing all else, but RELENTLESS, UNASHAMED, RECKLESS desire for Jesus, then it is no good.
you've missed it.
if your whole life, your every breath, your all in all–your everything– is not poured at the feet of Jesus, then it is no good.
if you are not daily surrendering to His power, to His design and to HIS purpose, then it is no good.
There is simply no greater call, than to live a life rooted in the Secret Place.
The secret place, is His call for every believer. The daily pursuit, the deep cry for intimacy, the Knowing (like really really knowing) of who God is– this is standard. The surrender, the worship, the praise, the glory, the honour, the power– these things are all His, they belong to Him.
This is the standard we are called to live by and this is the place it all changes.
I know this, because it is where everything changed for me.
Your purpose does not exist apart from this. You are not created for anything ELSE but this.
if you are not pouring out from an overflow of His goodness, love and mercy–because you are so full with it, then it is no good.
If there is no overflow from a place of intimacy with Christ, then it is no good and you are living a selfish faith.
Because there are people whose only deliverance from sitting at the dividing line of choosing God or turning away, are at the mercy of Your obedience. There are lives looking to be changed, and souls needing to be saved and all by your Yes to going into the secret place and really knowing Him, will they be ever changed.
So if you've reading this, living a comfortable, unintentional and faithless christianity– then i am so sorry to say you are missing it. You are missing the point of us being here. You are missing out on truly knowing the Greatest friend you will ever have, and encountering the deepest Love you ever will. If you are satisfied with all you've ever known God to be, and are not in the least bit curious to search and Know and encounter Him deeper, then your faith is stagnant and you are missing it all.
There are greater depths, there are deeper waters, there are oceans and valleys and high places yet undiscovered in God, simply because we have not said yes.
Could you imagine? could you just imagine what it would be like to meet with God face-to-face like Moses did? Could you imagine what it would feel like to hear His voice in the room with you? To go out for coffee and know you are taking Him along?
you can experience these things,
you can experience so much more.
There is SO much more.
it takes sacrifice. it takes commitment, it takes surrender, it takes pursuit– it takes everything.
and it is so beyond worth it.
He is so worth knowing. and He is waiting for your Yes.
He is waiting for your everything.
