This is the way; Walk In It!

New American Standard Bible (©1995) Isaiah 30:21
"Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left".

I love the Lord. He is such an awesome God... He reigns like non other, and no one compares to Him! This is my heart confession; this is the true soul cry of my being. I cannot imagine my life being lived without Him, as a matter of fact, there is no LIFE or LIVING without HIM. I have come to the most intimate revelation of my life and that is that I have completely surrendered to Him and though I don't know and can't gauge exactly where this journey of "dangerous surrender" (Kay Warren) will lead me, I do know that I am on the correct path for my life.

I have noticed recently that on this journey there will be casualties and that has saddened me a bit. We lose people we thought would ride with us forever and have our backs through it all. When this happens we have to stop for a moment to regroup because the truth of the matter is, we may have thought they were there for the long-haul but God had a different plan that may or may not include them. We'll never know exactly who our help will ultimately come through, which means that we shouldn't judge others because our blessing or our help can come through the very person we are judging.

Many times we hear the directives, we know the plan and we grab people to come along for the ride; people who fit a certain criteria (which is exactly what the world does) thinking we need them and sometimes it is okay and God will allow it; but, there are other times when God will say "NO, this journey is YOUR journey and one you are to walk alone". It has taken me a while to truly understand that and maybe that has hindered my own progress because God had to undo all that I'd done in my own might. We must come to a place of total surrender to God's way of doing it, for it is truly HIS plan anyway. We have to repent for trying to manipulate or control the plan, say goodbye to those we tried to bring with us and continue the journey of destiny that we are on.

Secretly, I've longed for others on this path who are as committed to the vision as I and sometimes I wonder if there is anybody out there that has this burning desire within them as well. I know I can't possibly be the only one who feels this sense of urgency to set things right in this world. I have been praying for some "real" folk, no facades... just real and HONEST individuals who loves God and has a heart for others. There are far too many people who are consumed with pleasing others or finding their happiness in materialistic and meaningless pursuits... things that truly doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. It feels like I'm in a matrix and I am the only one who's been unplugged; yet, I know this is far from TRUTH. I long for connection or interaction with others who feel like I do and who can understand this process of walking out the plan of God in this earth. Others who also have a passionate desire to do so much even though you've no idea how to. We just know that we will do it for the Kingdom of God. It's a play by play pursuit... as we fulfill one directive, only then will we receive the next.

I pray for you who are in this place with me; I pray your strength and deteremination to walk (sometimes alone) with God in the journeys that seem overwhelmingly too big for one individual and yet you seem to be walking it alone anyway. I pray your encouragement when people you thought were with you til the end leaves your side without warning or a word of explanation and I pray you joy in the holy ghost who leads us into all truths. He is that small, still voice that assures us that we're right on target; yes, 'this is the way, walk in it'.

Victory in our purposes is attainable, even if we are facing our giants (Goliaths) alone. God has made us giant slayers in the spirit. Greatness on every level began with a thought, an idea and a determined and passionate individual who would not stop believing in the dream or walking out the path, even when he seemed alone. As long as God is in control, leading the way and instructing the play by plays... I am sure we will all win. Every dream, vision and purpose of God will be fulfilled in this earth and it is my prayer that every person awakens in heart to their particular prophecy and live out the very purpose that God Almighty has ordained for them.

We all have within us the ability to create GREATNESS; do not let this die within you. It was given to us to make manifest the glory of God in this earth and each of us can do so. It just takes a determined, willfull and passionate person who will not quit. Victory comes when we expect it... so, don't get sidetracked by the naysayers, the casualties or the setbacks; just listen for the small, still voice within you, the voice that is leading the way to your grandest victory. This is the voice of God that we carry within us and it will never lead us astray. Trust God through the process... this is the way to total and complete victory, walk in it!

God bless you! :)
