I want to see the CHURCH, that Jesus set in motion, RISE UP and RETURN to being a community-shaking, Holy Spirit powered, world-changing, enemy-crushing, non-stop-smiling, servant-warrior family who are super courageous and explode with crazy love!
Doubt is a punk! He's a hater, poser and crippler. He causes you to focus on your feelings and fears. He distracts you from spending time with Jesus and reading God's Word.
Seems like today, we only hear what we want to hear and ONLY when we want to hear it. But, friend, that’s not how it works. God’s our Father – He speaks when He chooses – we must simply LISTEN and OBEY. And guess what?? God IS calling you!
God doesn't owe you an explanation or reason for everything He asks you to do. Understanding can wait, but obedience can't.
