An environment where change is strange is typically conducive in resistance to God’s Will. Sanctification is a process. Therefore the transformation occurs as a measure of iterations in character modification over time. This predicts that a heart with penchant toward maintaining norms will invariably find itself in conflict with God’s pressures, calls and finally leveraged modification of our carnal attitudes toward the end state of Spiritual Significance. Short of it, if you find yourself opining for things to remain constant or unchanging you will no doubt find conflict with God’s intentions for your Spiritual Transformation.

What does that mean to me? That my love life though I feel comfortable wrapped in the symbolic adoration of the object of my romantic or friendly desires must remain transfixed behind the projection of my requirements. Or does it mean that in realization of God’s intention that I must never hold too closely to one feeling, one observance, one circumstance or life position that it inhibits or kick’s at the goads of God’s Will for my sanctification. Short, never love it too much that you aren’t willing to see that love grow or go away as an outcome of God’s Creative Work upon your life.

A journey indicates and demands action, not simply the movement of travel but the planning, organization and learning through evaluation and analysis that goes with every escapade. If I am physically, emotionally or spiritual transfixed at one benchmark or location then I will ultimately miss the divine opportunities a mile’s hence. Not to say that those trees planted in one spot grow the deepest roots but if God is constantly calling us to movement and we remain stuck in our desired position then most opportunity for miracle related Divine intervention in our constructive transformation will be limited or kaibashed by our reluctance to move along.

I dread being a vagabond. I dread the constant uprooting and living from a bag, but have learned in my spirit to embrace this as God’s intention for my life. Even to the point where when I carnally wish to put down roots the Lord cautions openly about this desire to stay put knowing fully that His intention is to move me along to the Dynamic schedule of Divine Opportunities awaiting. My carnal being craves all things to remain the same every day of this life until the end. My Spiritual being demands the opposite, fully and operationally determined to flow like fine, malleable-clay while being shaped by the Hands of the Master Potter.

I love you and always will, but must always move on to spread the seed of the Gospel as the Apostles did, continually moving to the next town, nation or continent that all might hear the Story of Glory and Salvation. With the advent of the internet and digital media this movement requirement has in some ways been diminished or inhibited by the comfort of reaching the entire world for Christ right from the living room web cam. However, one day of evangelizing or walking the streets in the Spirit of Almighty God touching the lives of the downtrodden and seeking provides ample evidence that this job has always been about the joy produced in the movement and introduction to new catalysts, new believers and experience designed as crucible for the growing Christians Spiritual maturation.  Complacency then resides as the greatest enemy to God’s greatest work within each of our evangelistic hearts.

Yes, you may find your perfect spot in a ministry that God provides in one town, one church, one hospital or one state. However, each time you venture to a new town or new circumstance you are reminded by the new experiences and diverse impetus provided in the world yet unknown. For me, and this may not be true for each of us, it appears that the reluctance to loosen my grasp on those things around me inhibits the rapidity of Growth. Kids are just lent to us for a number of years. Love is a gift given to us to hold and cherish for a time. After all this life is temporary, therefore all within it remain codified by this criteria.

Father, thank you for making them so precious that by nature I want to hold on to them forever. Thank you for showing me that is your heart for the world you’ve created and have provided the way to keep them with you forever. Let me fully understand the temporariness of all material, emotional and carnal things fully prepared to relinquish them into history for the sake of mission achievement for Your Good Will in my Life. You are the only assured and unchanging thing in this life, upon that rock my ministry resides. We love you and praise you for sanctification and appreciate its transformative nature, In Jesus’ Holy Name.
