Day Two Too

This whole having access to the internet while on the road is a really great thing! Plus I have some time to go on it which is yet another great thing. Rare, actually.

Today was cool. I was able to sleep in and then Devon, Krisit and I went out on the town again. We went into Town Hall, which is a little building and read the origins of this town. Basically... MORMON!!! This is mormon central for the area. Two mormon churches, a mormon seminary and this is the center for two mormon districts. Whatever that means. It was wild in the founding notes to see that nearly everyone who moved here moved to Taber from Utah.

Tonight I did the first teaching on going to the streets with our faith. Why don't I give you the basic outline? It may not all make sense, but I hope most of it does. There is a lot to think about here...
-----------------------------

Sometimes you just have to wait. I don’t understand why, but you do. I guess it’s just part of this divine romance. It’s a dance. You move, He moves, you both move and eventually you learn how to move together. It turns from movement to a flow. It turns from a set direction of a-b-c to not knowing where one begins and one ends. It just a perfectly timed choreographed waterfall of you and Him. It’s really quite something to watch, but just you wait. Once you’re part of that water... watching will never satisfy again.

Somewhere along the line I lost myself. I floundered and decided it would be good to find myself again. I think that’s where I got all messed up. I was never supposed to find myself in the first place. My focus must remain singular. When you look into those eyes, is there really anywhere else to look? Does anything else satisfy? Is there anything so deep? So warm? Such a look that makes your heart skip a beat and you don’t know if it is fear or excitement and you finally decide that it must be both?

How do you see the lost? Like sheep without a Shepard or wicked, evil-doers? Like sons and daughters who have been caught by the power of injustice, not knowing their full inheritance that is rightfully theirs or foolish ones squandering their existence? Like you without Jesus or ones who are far too dull to realize the obvious truth?

If Jesus walked the earth today, would you look like He would? John 20:21 "Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that He breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’"

Are you out to make converts or are you out to fall in love? Are you out to find the secrets of God hidden in the crowd? Don’t look for the lost. Look for Jesus. Find Him. Pull Him out. You want to know evangelism? Song of Songs 3:2-4 "I will get up now and go through the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him. The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. ‘Have you seen the one my heart loves?’ Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go..."

Don’t find the lost. That’s a lie. Find the truth. Declare it over people. Declare it over regions. Declare it over cities and nations. Declare it over your family. Declare it over that one who is about to come face to face with their destiny and true maker. Find the truth and declare it boldly over that one or that nation. It really doesn’t matter. Just find the truth and plant it.

You are from a higher Kingdom. You are an ambassador. You have the authority. Darkness never affects the light. Light only affects darkness. Bring the King and His Kingdom wherever you go.

"I do not walk alone. My God walks with me."
