GET TA STEPPIN...

Well here it is January 30th, my last blog was in September. It's amazing how time flies especially when your DISTRACTED!! When I started blogging I had hoped to do one a week... Ha ha! I am going to commit afresh to this goal.  We'll see... ;)

So, I am in a very interesting season in my life - sort of in limbo - if you will. I have a vision & a promise from the Lord yet I feel trapped & paralyzed. Gripped with fear, procrastination, uncertainty and to be quite frank - DOUBT. Do I doubt the power & promises of God? Absolutely NOT - I know He is faithful & well able to perform that which He's spoken. The doubt & unbelief is in myself. When I think of the dreams God had placed in me I feel so inadequate, unequipped, and unqualified. I know the Word & who He says I am - I know I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. BUT when the rubber meets the road and its time to step out in faith, like many in the Bible, I come up with every excuse in the book. I don't have this, I can't do that, etc. We can even make our excuses sound so spiritual... My famous quote "God is still pruning and purging me, I'm not ready yet, I still have too much pride!" Yes there is a season of pruning & preparation, there is also a season to get out of the boat and walk into what God has called you to. If we're not careful we can get stuck in the preparation station and never step out!

It was brought to my attention today that we can be waiting for God to move and while we are looking for, and waiting for Him to do it, we miss Him as He actually does it!!! That's deep! The Lord used a brother in Christ to speak some things to me that have really been eye opening and in so many words has caused a "GET TA STEPPIN" to arise in my spirit!! I was also reminded of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 - what a GUT-WRENCHING thought that the man who did not use the talent that was given to him was thrown into darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. WOW!!! This dude was thrown into HELL because he did nothing with the talent Jesus gave him.... Read it for yourself...

In conclusion, He doesn't call the equipped He equips those He calls and as we take the first step He will give us the next and the next. We have all been gifted with talents & all He requires is for us to use what is in our hands. I end with these profound words my brother spoke over me today..."You are looking for something to happen that has already taken place in the Spirit realm....He already prepared a place at the table for YOU, just come sit down and Dine!!" WOW!!!
