Get ready

I have a Texas preacher friend of mine who has a unique saying. When he feels something of a spiritual nature happening he will say "there is something brewing' in the Kingdom". I love that! I know it is cheesy but wow. I want to live with that divine expectation knowing that God is moving in, for, and through me.
This morning I had the feeling that something was "brewing". I could feel it in my spiritual bones that God was doing something in Tallahassee that would change eternity. Now maybe I am just being hopeful. No I am being hopeful, I want to live full of hope that the God who has called me can and will do something so powerful that all I can do is point to Him and say "look y'all, God is moving, let's join Him."
Church planting is a life of faith and a life of hope. If I remove the hope then I am done and the last time I looked God is in the hope business. If that is God's business then that should be mine. I want the hope I have found in Christ to be so strong that it rubs off. The writer of Hebrews calls hope the "anchor of our souls." I believe that God is planting a church in Tallahassee that will reshape eternity. That hope causes me to risk, believe, pray, and expect God to move. Hope anchors my soul.
"Something is brewing' in the Kingdom" folks, you might want to keep your eyes on Tallahassee! I am hoping you don't miss it.
