The Chosen can't be Frozen

As I look to a high – energy, high – impacting summer, I feel this sense that God wants to use me and stretch me beyond my natural capabilities. The Spirit of God is tearing down all my anxieties and worries and is freeing me up to walk in all that God has for me. I have been searching through the scriptures looking at the great men and women that God chose to use. It astonishes me how God chooses the unexperienced, the unstudied, and the unashamed. The one thing all these spiritual giants did was dream. God-size dreaming makes room in the believer’s heart for God to move. Dreaming requires faith and trust. I pray that I would not limit God in my heart by elementary-dreaming. I want to climb higher, dive deeper, and stretch further than humanly possible. Another attribute they possessed was that they weren’t afraid to risk failure. I have learned if you are not taking risks, then you really don’t need faith. And if you’re not operating in faith, then you cannot please God. One of the most revolting sins is the sin of inactivity. In the Parable of the Talents, the master condemned his servant not for godless practices but for godless passivity. The days of sideline Christianity are over for us. If we are going to be a people that God uses, we must dream large and take risks.
