Fishing...Jesus Style

I don't think I have shared this here on the blog world. But months ago, August to be exact the Father and I set on a journey to create a space on the Colorado State University campus that empowers and equips young revivalists to go and change the atmosphere. Why? well, Transformed people Transform cities. and secondly, cause HE SAID TO!

The Lord just breathed such wonderful vision into my heart and then truly carried me and the rest of my pals through the entire process. Do you want to know when you are dreaming with God? When the ideas and plans that come to mind are WAY bigger and require way more strength than you can muster. you can pretty much count that is Holy Spirit. Then comes the Peace.

It was just a couple of my pals. Just totally young, dumb and IN love with Jesus.
Love requires action. Love is not passive. Everything you do and say should come from a Love with relationship. All else outside of Love is religion. Stay away from that garbage...religion that is.

Anyways, Holy Spirit showed up. People started getting healing, set free, excited, full of life. And we thought, oh my goodness we've got something here.
We got to a place though (with the help of wise council) that we didn't want Pursue (our service) to be just a weekly service where people feel a couple goose bumps and wait for next week's service. That will NOT change and disciple a city. Period. Pursue is not the answer. Investing and giving your life to people is the answer. Walking together as a family, community, together. That is the answer.

Jesus discipled the 12. The 12 discipled the nations.

What did Jesus say to do? Go and make disciples of many nations. He wouldn't have said that to tease us. You are fully capable and anointed to go and make disciples. To push people into the Love of Jesus.

Now, don't misunderstand what I am saying. Church meetings and conferences and that good stuff is FUN. Necessary. There is something so sweet about corporate worship and praise. BUT, 2 hour church services can not be your only life source.

Jesus is the Life Source. Hook up to Him daily. Then go give it way. Go and walk with a people that are like minded and completely JAZZZZZED about Jesus.
My life has radically changed in the last couple months because I have started to embrace this commission. Wow, Jesus really wants me to give away what He has given me.
So GO all you FISHER'S of men!

People are hungry for The more!

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matt. 28:19
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Holy Spirit: Best Wedding Planner Ever.

I follow this eclectic, UK hipster wedding blog.It is called Pocketful of Dreams. check it out...http://www.pocketfulofdreams.co.uk/

Now, I love weddings. More so, I like the idea of the perfect day. And above that, I just love the pictures and decorating ideas that come from the Pocketful of Dreams blog. So much goes into a wedding. So much money, energy, resources, stress, love, friendship, thought. just a lot of work goes into this PERFECT day. the day that you get to publicly declare and unify this crazy, wild love for someone.

I had this thought.

Holy Spirit is like the best wedding planner ever. Everyday when you wake up, the Holy Spirit is there planning your day. Your best day. your perfect day. You see it says, "We are assured and know that all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose." Romans 8:28.

So here it is: Everyday God is working for YOUR good. To love on you. to empower you. to set you free. to open doors. to make your day PERFECT. and that happens everyday. He plans your best day. your wedding day. all for this end goal. So that everyday you get to put on a wedding dress. You know, clothed in purity, grace and righteousness. Then the Holy Spirit plans your triumphant walk down the aisle to meet your groom, Jesus. OHH, come on.

Live in that reality. Know that the God of the Universe is working on your behalf. He is your defender. Why? cause He is mad about you. I just encourage you to wake up and put on your

sunday best...your perfect wedding day attire. Cry out to the Father and ask him to awaken you to His mercies that are new EVERY morning. oh, how he loves you.

Go forth and walk down that aisle.
