Creation is Eagerly Waiting
Hello my dear Beloved family!
Are you as excited as I am to see the growth and development of all the heroes we are about to release into this unsuspecting world? I pray you are because YOU, your children, and your children’s children are going to benefit from our willingness to embrace this new calling of our faithful Father Who is developing and releasing, “The Hero Within!”
In all honesty, I believe that our Father has desired for humanity to experience this Great Awakening that we are going into ever since the release of the Gospel and it’s completed fulfillment in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the explosion of grace and power on the day of Pentecost. These two glorious and enormous moments in history encapsulate the message of the Finished Work of the Cross and birthed a new generation of super-people… people saturated with the powers of Heaven, the heart of their Father, and the authority of the King, Jesus. The many generations that have gone before us have all added depth, revelation, and application to these truths that, I believe, are culminating on our generation in this very day.
Hebrews 11:39-40 (AMP)
And all of these, though they gained [divine] approval through their faith, did not receive [the fulfillment of] what was promised, because God had us in mind and had something better for us, so that they [these men and women of authentic faith] would not be made perfect [that is, completed in Him] apart from us.
It is almost as if all of creation has been waiting for you and I to embrace our divine destiny, our super-natural calling, and our godly nature to bring relief and rescue to this aching world…
Rom 8:19-21 (AMP)
For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
This great adventure of faith that you and I are embracing will require great courage, solidified boldness, and unshakeable character. It is demanded upon us to be maturing, growing in humility, and embracing lifestyles that are congruent with the high honor that our Commander in Chief has expected us to embody. I can confess that what you will be hearing from our pulpit, and from heaven also, is a challenging and convicting message to embrace this era and change with pure hearts and holy hands.
Titus 1:5-9 (ESV)
This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
I was caught by this statement, “a lover of good,” in this list of qualifications for today’s leaders. This Greek word was only used once in all scripture, and was translated with these four words. Check out the definition:
Philágathos (from phílos, “a friend” and agathós, “inherently good”) – properly, personal affection for what is intrinsically good, referring to “a lover (friend) of what God loves” or “a lover of God’s good.”
What a powerful quality and character trait that we are to embrace and develop together as God’s people, leading others into this glorious future. This is an undeniable attribute of a TRUE Hero that the world is desperate to see in real time. This challenges me, and I pray it impacts you deeply as well. Because we have this nature as Born-Above children of a GOOD God, this distinctive condition imbedded within us, let us commit to exposing it in authenticity.
This broken world, with it’s societal influences, is devoid of people possessing this. Yet, our Father has determined that we are to walk in this reality, against the grain, upstream from the normalcy of today. Our Father believes in us, I believe in you… all of creation is groaning for this.
Beloved… LET’S DO THIS!
I love and cherish you greatly!
