INTIMACY⠀
⠀
= in.to.me.you.see.⠀
⠀
I don't care to be "Well-Known"....⠀
I'd prefer to be KNOWN-WELL. ⠀
⠀
Don't we all?⠀
Deep down, yes. This is a deep inner heart need we all have...but here's what I've observed...⠀
⠀
The spirit of fear and the conditions of our culture have us filtering, pretending, striving, exhausted...there's an identity crisis happening. Constantly looking around us to gauge if we're measuring up...under the weight of pressure to present ourselves all polished and pretty, right?⠀
How many other people out there want to love God and serve His people? ⠀
⠀
I know celebrity christiandom is modeling a culture of striving for spotlight...but what if we took a moment to take our eyes off "them" and instead looked to Jesus and asked, "Hey, Jesus...whatcha doin'? How can I partner with you today to bring life, hope and love to those you place in my path today?" ⠀
⠀
Or here's another:⠀
"Hey Jesus, what do you think of what we've made of the modern church?....Will you show me what Your Kingdom priorities are and how I can align with Your vision in this time?" ----That's a risky question...He may share some things you weren't prepared for!
Time to arise and shine the light of His glory into every crack and crevice of this earth.⠀
⠀
THIS is YOUR invitation....⠀
Let's do this in alignment with Jesus and the times we're in...let's get creative...think outside the box...get out of the seats and into the streets...after all, we're given the mind of Christ, right...let's study how He did things during His 33ish beautiful, precious years walking the earth...let's try that! ⠀
Have you ever been through an intense, soul-crushing, shattering season full of confusion and pain? Of course you have, you’re human. In these times of pressing and crushing, God is making NEW WINE out of you. Here I vulnerably share my story of overcoming hardship and how God loved me back to life.
For so long, I was confused and even somewhat critical about the gift of prophecy. I would search the scriptures and try to figure out the "proper way" we as The Church under the New Covenant should outwork this gift. Sometimes even making bold judgments (due to my immaturity and limited understanding) about how it should NOT be used and fearful that it could be used in harmful and manipulative ways.
Over the years as I’ve ministered, coached and counseled people, many people have reached out and confessed their confusion and curiosity for this gift as well. Maybe you’re in this category. If so, I welcome you to read on!
For those who have faith enough to believe in a God of hope, hope is simply a trust-worthy promise yet fulfilled. But for those who have seen their hopes dashed, or have never had the opportunity to hope, it is a word that can be shunned and despised. Samantha Miku shares an encouraging message on HOPE.
How to heal and recover from church hurt. A prophetic word of encouragement and hope for those who have been disappointed by church leadership and are processing pain.
Have you ever felt like you were under the pressure to be someone you're not? I totally relate.
Maybe you're feeling the tension of trying to fit in when you know you're made to stand out.
This video/blog is inspired by a very vivid vision I received last year in 2018, at a time where I sensed that I was being held back, criticized and even rejected. God was good to reposition me in a new place with leaders that have loved and mentored me as I am without trying to make me to be someone different.
Though we all have the same commissioning, we don't all have the same calling. I encourage you to pray and persist and purpose to align with leaders that will coach, train, champion, cheer and celebrate your calling and all God has created you to be. Kingdom-minded, Christlike leaders understand the honor and responsibility they have to partner with God to shepherd, mentor and train you to become all GOD created you to be. They will not try to pressure you into conforming to their comfort level. They will embrace your uniqueness and help you to emerge and flourish.
Ever wonder about God's will for your life? What if it's more simple to find it than you think? As we enter the new season of Fall, the Season of Gratitude, let's be encouraged to rejoice always, pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances. Download this free 4x6
