About a week ago I was asked by my close friend and youth pastor to preach today. Over the past week I've really struggled with what to actually preach on. The thing about it is I knew that I was supposed to preach on desperation, but I was really fighting God about it. Here's the thing, it has really challenged me and it has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone, just totally stepping out in faith. I could have preached on desperation, or I could have preached on something that came easy to me like for insistence walking by faith, or loving those who treat you badly. Then it hit me like getting hit upside the head with a pillow case full of bricks, that if I changed my topic then how am I supposed to teach them about walking by faith when I myself can't even walk fully by faith.
The best part about all of it is that when I was praying last night God spoke to me and told me that there is freedom that is coming right around the corner, not to give up to continue to press in. Keep pressing into Him and seeking His face. I don't know who it's for, nor do I have to. All I do have to know is that someone is needing to hear it. God is going to move in that place tonight and is finally going to get a hold of those students who are going to finally let go of themselves. Let me just leave you with this food for thought...when are we going to finally let go, when are we finally going to let God be our all in all? God bless!
