Come out of your Comfort Zone The Holy Spirit gave me a vision of someone falling back into a huge oversized easy chair and just slowly sinking into it. This is what He revealed to me. There are some Christians that are getting comfortable in their ways and lax in their spiritual life.
The Lord says it is time to rekindle that fire that you once had. It is time to come back to the place where you once were with Me. For some of you, you have wondered and you need to come back to your first love. For others, you are becoming complacent where you are spiritually and it is time to advance forward rather than retreat. There are many plans that I have for you. Don't deviate from My plans and purposes for your life. There are many gifts that I have for you. Don't get comfortable in the things of this world. I desire to bring you to new heights. Come back to your first love and let Me bring My plans for you to completion says the Lord.
2 Timothy 1:6
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Revelation 2: 4
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Arise From Your Comfort ZoneThe Lord is inviting every one of us to come into a deeper relationship with Him. He wants us all to experience His awesome power in our lives but there are too many Christians that live a carnal life all week and go to church on Sunday as a routine. Many of you are not living the exciting life that Jesus intended for you to have. He has called you to have a personal relationship with Him. Christianity is not a religious ritual. He wants to give you wisdom (Not human wisdom) and revelation (His revealed secrets) and reveal the mysteries of His Kingdom and His Word to you. God wants to raise up an Army not a Girl Scout or Boy Scout camp. It is not about reading a daily devotional or a chapter a day of the bible but He wants to give you revelation beyond human comprehension when you read His Word. His word is alive and it has the same dunamis power today as it did in the day of creation.
Hebrews 4: 12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
As the things of this world are growing darker, we have to realize that we are the light of the world. A man of God was recently asked what he thinks about this recession. The man replied: I refuse to participate in it. Paul Keith Davis once said that we are citizens of a higher Kingdom that cannot be shaken. How can we be the light of the world if we are living the same way as the world? It is time to come out of your comfort zone. Being a lukewarm Christian is totally unacceptable to Jesus.
Revelation 3: 16
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
I believe that we are living in a time of considerable acceleration, fruitfulness and favor but only for those who have positioned themselves according to God's standards. There is an open door for us to enter into a place with God where we have never experienced.
We were not called to be pew sitters. We are a mighty army and we are called to do great exploits. This is not the time to faint. Fear not and come out of your comfort zone. The Master has need of you.
Proverbs 24:10
If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.
