Last week I was walking through the book of Luke and Luke 17:5 hit me like a TON of bricks!!!
“The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’”
Confession…I need to pray this more!
If we truly have a vision from God then we will be driven to desperation…and if we’re not then we do not have a vision but merely a daydream!
AND…if God truly lays HUGE vision on your heart it will completely overwhelm your faith…which is why we must CONSTANTLY run to Jesus and beg Him to increase our faith!
As I look at where I believe God wants to take NewSpring Church it completely overwhelms me…there is NO WAY I can do this by myself…and I am FORCED to pray, “Lord, increase my faith.”
The church needs to quit running towards what we know we can do and embrace the risks associated with the unknown! We need for men and women who are NOT passionately obsessed with the way things are…but rather intensly focused on the way things should be!
We’ve GOT to quit doing ministry minus faith…because…even though it is “safe”...it never fulfills what Jesus has called us to do—ADVANCE His Kingdom!
Those who are not willing to attempt the impossible with never experience the unexplainable!
Lord…increase my faith!!! (Hebrews 11:1 & Hebrews 11:6)
