God's Passion

How much can you learn in one lifetime? How much information can your brain process before it is done. How much can one heart hold before it is full? I don’t’ expect an answer because I see how God keeps expanding it all. Right when I think okay, I have learned enough, or I can’t hold anymore, or I just can’t deal with anymore God gives me more. I don’t know how He does it or how we do it but it happens. The capacity of our hearts and lives amazes me. The amount of information and experience one life can hold leaves me in awe. It is even more mind boggling when you think that in Heaven we are going to be even more full. That is something I am going to leave up to God to understand. My finite brain is to small when I think of things on God’s level. But yet that is the way He wired us. To dream, and think in the way that He does. The way that He made our hearts. God has placed in me (and in each one of us) such a huge inconceivable dream that I want to see happen. If you look at it or think about it in the flesh I really should just go home. It won’t happen in my lifetime if I am doing it on my own. But God put it inside of me. It is so beyond human possibility that the only way to see it happen is to join God and what He is doing. It is after all His dream and passion and I just get the privilege of being a part of it Thinking of it in that exciting way I don’t want to live any other way. I get so excited and have so much joy when I go out and pursue that passion that God has put in my heart. I love talking about it and seeing others start to catch a vision for it. Now, you are probably wondering what the heck it is. Well, so not to keep you in suspense I will tell you. It is to see discipleship groups (big and small) growing all over the world. I will start small in South Africa because that is where God has me here for this season. But one day I want to see it grow up through Africa and then into the Middle East, Asia, Europe and then over to the Americas. That isn’t to big is it? I really don’t think so since God already has workers in place doing it and I am just joining an existing work. God is working in my life in some painful ways right now but it is so good. Because it is igniting my heart for Him and His plans for my life. I am finding such a passion for the people here and to disciple them and for them to grow to do the same for others. I will be honest and say that the vision is really from All Nations but I am catching and owning it and making it personal. I have been reading some great books about it too. Two that I would suggest is Floyd McClung’s book “You See Bones I See an Army” then also Neil Cole’s book “Organic Church”. Both are amazing
