Show what you believe
One of the marks of spiritual maturity is seeing and seizing spiritual opportunities. This sounds grandiose but is really very practical. God has never measured our devotion based upon what we know but our response of obedience. God wants me to obey because I am right with Him not just because I know about Him.
See and seizing God opportunities is then the response of faith. The response of faith reveals what I believe.
In 1992 I stepped away for an established church and joined a small group of people starting Parkway Church that grew into a regional church of thousands and was a vital part of a church planting movement throughout the USA. In 2007 I stepped away from leading that church to start Fellowship of the Hills in Tallahassee Florida. Why do I tell you this? I tell you this because God wants us to obey. How I responded to these calls of faith reveals what I truly believe. Through obedience I have come to know God even more.
I knew God called me to the first and to the second. I knew His call through alignment of His word, prayer, circumstances and the influence of other believers. Even though these alignments happened I still had to “pull the trigger” and obey.
Why am I telling you this today? I think that God is pushing some of you to take great risk and you are halting. I think some of you are bored to tears with your life and want something more. I think that God wants to launch a movement in the lives of believers that shakes this country for the sake of the Kingdom of God. Jesus gave us a great commandment to go into the entire world and preach the gospel. For some reason I think He meant what he said. It is time to show what we believe by obeying.
