bread crumbs

We had a guest speaker at church tonight. I am usually not too interested in guest speakers. Don’t exactly know why but it has something to so with them needing to earn the right to speak into my life. Anyway… that is no the point of this post. He spoke on getting in your place. More importantly, allowing the Holy Spirit to put you in your place. It was all about letting Christ be your Lord, not just your savior. ‘Lord’ connotes authority over, responsible for. I have not let Him be that.

I have come to different revelations of how little control I have given him over the years. Tonight was another one of those times.

I usually let God’s will just happen. I have been very passive. It seems that I have always stumbled into His will for me, even while married and now a dad.  But there is a better way. Scripture says that the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. I can cause God’s will to happen to me instead of me happening to it.

At the end of service I spent some time in prayer and I felt like the Holt Spirit dropped something in my heart. “You have been living on bread crumbs when a feast is available.” It is time to pick up my knife and fork. I will bring about change in my life and take the next step towards my destiny as I draw near to Him. It is only in His presence that I am filled. No more spiritual starving. I will not be satisfied by leftovers any more.
