as 'heaven's currency'? Each and every one of us has been created and 'deposited' on the earth for a distinct and amazing purpose. God put each of us together in such a way as to accomplish a plan that originated in His great heart - WOW, how amazing is that!If we consider that when we one day stand alone before Him, the questions asked will not be about our sin (Jesus already took care of that) but rather how we allowed the precious currency of heaven that is invested in us to be spent ... might we view how we live and act a little differently?
Imagine being a big bag of gold coins dropped out of heaven onto this planet. :)
So now, there can be the odd coin scattered here and there, with some kind of minimal effect, OR there can be a bag given back into God's hands. As it is given back, He gets permission to spend the contents EXACTLY as He chooses, and of course, EXACTLY as He always planned. This should have maximum effect for His Kingdom, and leave us knowing that we are living lives that really make a difference.
In this current time, many have been tried and tested, sometimes beyond what we might consider to be a reasonable measure. Now, as we have been tried and tested, and refined by the process, God is going to be able to spend big handfuls of gold - we are just going to love what He is able to do with what has been worked into our lives.
Get ready to see God have a big spend up!! Your life and mine will never be the same. This is time to say "Here I am God ... Your precious currency ... spend me as You will for the blessing and extension of Your Kingdom on earth." Sit back and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!
Wonderful post. God has been speaking to me about holding on to my 'red balloon' (it was a blog entry I posted this week), it represented (in part) giftings he has given me that I have been holding on to, fear of being rejected and other fears.
ReplyDeleteThe importance of letting go and letting it free in God.
Please let me know if there is any prayer need you have for your Ministry.
I really look forward to when your team has another meeting or some news of what you are feeling/sensing for the country.
With love
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteHaven't done much posting out since my last computer crashed - still rebuilding the address book!
Will let you know what is going on though - some thoughts for further on in the year.
Seems very much to be a season of letting go - He is serious about not putting new wine into old wine skins, so guess we better believe it and take action.
May you be blessed in what youre doing.
