Today, I'm all spacey and my emotions are scrambled. I'm wobbly inside. Last night I had dinner with an old friend and we talked about the Lord. I had so much to share about my trip to Kansas and about the things God has been speaking to me about since September 2007. He shared some of the insights God has been blessing him with. One thing struck me deep. An interviewer asked the Chinese underground church and Latin American churches, "What is the one thing about the American church that amazes you?" They said ''Ït's amazing how much the American church can do without the Spirit of God." Oh, Lord! This statement struck fear in me. We talked about how we need to run the race hard for the Lord in view of His soon coming. We need to be aware of the season we are living now and wake up from our slumber. Hamilton and I talked and prayed till about 3 in the morning in the most holy place in PBC - the Library! (hehe). We were so struck by a holy fear and passion for the Lord that we needed to pray after we both shared the things God has been warning us about. This morning I woke up praying, Oh Lord, don't ever let me do ministry without the person of the Holy Spirit. It is so easy for us in the modern world with our human ingenuity, creative ideas and wealth to build the church without the move of the Holy Spirit. It is time for the houses of the Lord to be the Houses of Prayer where we stay on our knees until the Lord feels that we are ready to be the place where He wants to rest. In that atmosphere, miracles and healing can't help but take place. There is an urgent fire in my heart and soul, burning through my bones. I have kept in the message the Lord gave me. But maybe it is time for me and those around to blow the trumpet and sound the alarm. Walking out the faith daily in small ways through the mundane is the test of our hearts. It is easier for me to speak about running the race. But would I serve when no one's looking? When I am in the midst of doing something?Would I pray and hide in my closet when I don't feel like it? Lord, help me finish the race You have set before me that I might win the prize. And on that trophy is this name - Jesus! He alone OUR my reward! For those of you reading this I would be so blessed if you would write a comment back so we can build each other up and pray.
