On Purpose and With A Mission

On Purpose and With A Mission I am so excited for Christine Caine's new book...

I am so excited for Christine Caine’s new book, “Unashamed”.  Shame is definitely a tool the devil uses to keep us down, so keep us divided, so keep us in chains.  Whether it was something that you chose, some bad way that you behaved or something that was done to you, shame is a real and debilitating feeling for some of us; even women in the church.

But here’s a few of the things that the Bible…

Romans 1:1 " This letter is from Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, chosen by God to be an apostle and sen out to preach his good news. " Slave-or in it original, bondslave  The use of the term BONDSLAVE also means that in conscience, doctrine, and conduct, Paul's life was utterly in subjection to Christ

He was not 'forced' to do anything by any means, he was not trapped and 'made' to be an apostle of Christ, with no other choice but to preach the gossip. Rather, he saw it as a blessing to be "chosen" for such a privilege.  Paul was not in need of freedom from this 'slavery', he was dedicated, driven and determined to align his life, thoughts and actions with the Christ. To allow his own desires to die in order to become more like the king. When we lay down our selfish desires down, we 'choose' to see this as a privilege also. God has chosen us to deliver the Good news to others, in whatever way our giftings can.   I want to be a slave of Christ. i want my everything to align with his plan. i want to serve this generation. i want to serve people. i want my heart to beat in tune with his.  oh, to become a 'slave' of christ. to live in subjection to Christ. To commit and surrender our being to Gods plan.  this trip has shifted something within my soul. The fruit of a servant heart has shown greater in 2days than a year of pastoring those under me.   why? because when we rest in his strength and stretch our flesh, when we trust in his plan and forget our own, when we serve those around us and expect nothing in return, when we are open for him to move and aware of his presence.... he will come. he will come. and we will see that it was never about us, or what we can do, but all about him and what he already has done.
