I think i'm only coming to the realisation of what God has called me to as His child now. Saying that - it is still a journey. What it means to say "yes" and what He means when He tells me to go.
We spent most of our lives without knowing the full truth about who we are without Jesus, how rotten and evil our true nature really is and also without the full truth about what Jesus really did and what He enables us to do when He calls us.
I am finding myself at a place where God showed me that I, Charne Vorster, met the Holy All Mighty God face to face in a way I will never be able to convert into words - yet I still find myself living a mediocre chilled lifestyle. A life where I am passive - like I am waiting for something "huge" to happen to change my grey-scale life - BUT that something, rather, that SOMEONE DID HAPPEN!!! So what am I waiting for?!
When I read about Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Job, Moses etc - it sounds AMAZING and almost impossible - like those kind of things only happen in stories, movies or in those times...
But the Bible is written FOR US! For NOW!
When Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:18&19 to GO, He gives us authority. He says again in Matthew 10:8 to "Bring health to the sick. raise the dead. Touch the untouchable. kick out demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously." (TM)
In John 10:10 jesus says that "The thief(devil) comes to steal, kill and destroy. I(Jesus) came to give life and life in abundance!!!" - That is what He tells us! That is life!
For most of my life I either lived witjout Him or with only half the truth about Him and of who I am in and through Him. The other part I lived with the enemy stealing life from me, stealing my part of being ACTIVELY partaking in God's Kingdom - missing out on the ABUNDANT LIFE He already gave me!!!
When we were in colombia, God already started speaking to me concerning living life "half"... But today I made the decision and declaration that I WILL LIVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE because of what Jesus has done and who I am in and through His Spirit living inside of me!!! May He move me like He says in Ezekiel 36:26.
I will walk in boldness, even if I might look or sound crazy to the world. i will expect God to move like He did with Philip and Paul in Acts or do crazy things like in the Old Testament - because HE IS GOD!
Yesterday, today and tomorrow the same!!!
I am tired of waiting for "one day", for "someone" or "something". I am tired of compromising the truth and of living a mediocre life. I am ready to LIVE LIFE NOW!!
I will be a Joshua, a Joseph, a Moses, an Elijah, Elisha, Esther, Paul, a Peter and all those other crazy people who lived their lives to the full!!!
Thank You Jesus!
Wooohoooooo!! :)
