Last night I heard my favorite teaching thus far. Ron Luce spoke on complacency in Christians today, and it was so convicting and also the annointing of God just completely fell on me to be more compelled to not allow complacency in my life even more. Jesus tells us to die daily, take up our cross and follow Him. Following God takes action and means to follow HIs teachings. If He is TRULY the Lord of our lives, then He would be our master. Lord= Master. (lol one time my brother nate talked about this to me too and it has just stuck with me). If God is our master, then we OBEY His word. No one who has ever changed the world has lived a life of complacency. We are not called to be in GOd's Army and live complacent lives. We are supposed to be different. Held to higher standards for sure. I have noticed that when one truly falls in love with Jesus, they fall out of love with the world and want no part of the world.
God is a HOLY God (I think this statement has become way too casual...) and the only way He can abide in us is if we do not grieve Him. Therefore, our minds and thoughts need to be like a sanctuary so He can dwell there. Basically our flesh needs to be put to death. Wow. It is not like I have never heard this before, it is just that in the process of just becoming more broken for God and wanting Him more than anything else, I am now seeing how I lived a complacent life. We are called to a standard and too often we sacrifice God's presence and annointing in our lives just for the temporary satisfaction and convenience of this world. It is really sad when we think about it. Are we really gonna let the devil win? How are we supposed to expect to see the world change if we can't even change ourselves? This life is not about us...Just some thoughts I have been thinking and that I cannot let go out of my head...
Anyways, THe H.A. is going very well, I am growing so much spiritually and it has definitely een a push to keep going on such little sleep and so much exercise, but God is continually giving me the strength to push myself 100% in it all. All I want to do is live for God with all of my heart.

WOW Sarah! We had a service at church last night that is what I would call a "dedication service". We worshipped and then had a time where we checked our hearts and looked deep.....if there is anything that is not of God we need to get rid of it!! Pastor Susan talked about how the church in general needs to wake up and not be lathargic or like you were talking about complacent......I think that God is trying to talk to the body about this at this time!!! Only when we submit fully to Him can we have the fullness of His glory in operation!!
So glad to see all the great things going on! We love you Sarah!! Keep it up!! :o)
