Individual Impetus

What moves a man?  How many victories, defeats, failures and successes does it take to sponsor maturity and usher in necessary change?  Has each of us taken his or her spiritual pulse to gather complete understanding of our individual resistance, reluctance or surrender to the inspiring Hand of God?  What ruts have my wheels found?  What circular or false paths have I wandered in exception to the divine?  Where have I been and where am I headed?  Am I making my flesh, mind and spirit subservient to God’s will or do I continue to waste finite, valuable life-energy upon things which further my worldly happiness instead of Kingdom Joy?

Will I be honest with myself instead of passing the buck to a world “lacking authenticity”?  Have I fallen into the Judeo-Christian trap of hypocrisy which God abhors?  Do I listen and follow the demands of children or do I lead like the spiritual, warrior, priest and prince that God’s tells me to be?  What grand stimuli must the Lord send my way to get me off my duff and out on the road for Jesus?  If you are stationary then you are probably disobedient, with the caveat of those who have been told to stay put and wait upon the works of the Holy Spirit.  If my flesh calls me to movement then I should stand still, if my desire calls me to complacency then I should get on the road and the let the Spirit be my guide.  Anything else is sitting on the fence and will surely be spat from the Mouth of the Almighty as tepid faith.

Do something for the Kingdom, you will see that you begin to lead instead of follow or tolerate the unholy practices of a fallen world full of pagan ritual and wasted labor.  Be what He wanted you to be, listen for His voice and respond to His prompting.  Live a life of abundance with Him for Him and through Him in this world and the next.  God be praised in Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.
