Awakened and Aligned

releasing truth, releasing love. He is making His petition, His plea, through us. That we would represent Him well so the world will listen. That His fragrance would be released with every step we take. That Jesus Christ would be seen, and ALL men, nations, tribes, and languages would come to Him! In this moment, I found myself calling out to the people of God first, to wake up. To take their rightful place and not shrink back. To be His light and live His Truth. Not wasting time promoting our agendas and making a name for ourselves but being about what the Father is about (people) and making His Name great! “Lord, help us in this. Help us stay focused. Help us be purposeful, intentional in all things. That everything we do and give will be from who YOU are.” No matter who we are face to face with, or what situation we may find ourselves in, that it would be His wisdom, His love, His truth, His healing, His restoration, His life that is given. Whether it’s the “one” He is wanting to reach, or a nation…whoever, whatever, wherever …” here we are”. When the world looks at us, they will see Jesus. Bearing His Name with honor and carrying His glory with humility. They would know the reality of Heaven and eternity when they feel the touch of His Presence through us. “Here we are…” My heart broke as I began thinking of those who are being persecuted, beheaded, and put to death for His Name sake. For those who are boldly taking their stand in the face of such opposition, with eternity in full view. Those who count it all joy as they are imprisoned and tortured for living the gospel of Jesus Christ. How can we not have the same resolve? We must, we will, and we do. This is our family, our people, our Kingdom…we stand with them… “Here we are…”
