Chasing lions

The last few months I lost sight of my dream. But tonight God focused my eyes back on the adventure He planned for me.

My dream is to see every person -in the nation I'm called to go to- know the love of God and have a relationship with Him. It's a big dream. It's a God size dream. It's the best type of dream to have.

In 2 Samuel 23 it says that Benaiah went into a pit on a snowy day to kill a lion.

I'm a lion chaser. Some would call that crazy. I'm completely okay with that.

God is teaching me about the simplicity of the Gospel. How it's okay that there is teaching and exegesis but if you lose sight of the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom. A perfect man dying for the sins of the world in the greatest act of love the earth has ever seen. How we received forgiveness and abundant life as new creations in Christ. All because He loves us. All because He LOVES US. That news saves the world. THE GOOD NEWS. Not teaching, not debating, not great presidents, not, ahhh, whatever we get so hyped up over. It's just love. It's so simple and so powerful.

A love that enables completely crazy dreams. Like chasing lions. And every single one of the 1.3 billion souls in China.

A love that enables a dream to live for and a cause that is worthy to die for.

His is an enabling love. Everyday I realize that I'm completely incapable of doing any of the things He's asked me to do. That's how you know it's God. If He asks you to do the impossible. I get to usher in the impossible onto the Earth. What a glorious reality. Odds change when I walk into the room because the dunamis power of God lives inside me. The sick are healed, lame walk, blind see, mute speak, demons leave at the name Jesus.
I'm overwhelmed that God would partner with me. I'm the mule He has chosen to ride into the city on. I get to carry His Presence. I get to be His hands and feet. When I walk into the room I'm just a prayer away from a miracle.

God, I pray You would give me the faith to pray bigger prayers, to dream bigger dreams. I want more of You. I want Your Spirit to so badly ruin me. No more fear of man. No more fear of failing. Your love enables miracles. Your love enables the impossible. Thank You, Jesus.

I'm at the library right now with my bro, Justin. He's from Corvallis but he's been down in Redding, California going to Bethel. I'm so glad he is home, I missed him so much!! He is so excited about what God is doing on the earth and every time I'm with him I think his eagerness rubs off on me, which is totally a good thing.

So, I guess I should share about that part of my life now that I've almost brought it up.

I'm moving to California next September! For at least a year!
I am going to be going to the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. I'm in a season where I've got my life together in the sense that I have established myself in the faith but I know there is some character molding that God wants to do in me. I know that Bethel is such an amazing atmosphere for that. I've known for a while that God was calling to me to leave Corvallis for a while in order to set myself apart from what I know. I don't want to lean on the people and the things I know just because I'm in Corvallis and it's safe and familiar. I want to step out into this unknown place and see who I really am when the things I had to fall back on aren't there, there is only God. To see where my character is falling short and have God work out those things.

I don't know if any of that makes any sense at all. But that's just where I am at.
