Mission Statement

I've been praying for a while for God to use me. For Him to open up His will to me, take me by the hand, and guide me to my destiny. I know for a fact my destiny is in Him. I know we have been commissioned to work for Him, to spread His gospel, and to preach and teach His name unto all the nations. I just wasn't sure how God expected me to do this. I've become so confused, and frustrated, and a little let down. I cried out to the Lord, fasted for days, grew anxious and troubled, but I wasn't hearing a thing from the Lord. I wanted to hear God's voice loud and clear telling me to go this way or that way, and to do this, that, and the other. Unfortunately, that just wasn't happening.

Last week however, something incredible happened. While I was letting my prayer life dwindle into nothingness, and I was allowing myself simply go through the motions, God sort of slapped me across the face. The slap came in the form of my Mom's voice, as God's slaps so often do for me. She was telling us about this Indian Pastor who recently went to Uganda and is now holding revival services and being used of God mightily over there. She went on to say that the Pastor had said this to her, "there is a time to pray to be used of God, and there is a time to get up and be used of God". We know what we have been commissioned to do, to 'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you' (Mt. 28:19-20). Knowing then the work set before us, how can we just keep crying to God to use us while not working towards being used of Him? In other words, I couldn't just keep sitting there asking God to use me without taking the opportunities He has given me to be used of Him; I needed to get off my behind and jump right through the doors God has opened up for me and let Him work through me wherever He leads me.

After thinking about that for a while I realized the biggest opportunity God had given me to do His work was the talent He gave me. God, in His infinite wisdom, had chosen to make me a writer and this was the door I needed to walk through in order for me to be used of Him. I needed to give the talent He had so graciously bestowed upon me back to Him so that it could be used to bring Him and His kingdom glory. And so here I am, seeking to be used of God through my writing. Here I am, giving back to God what He gave me so that all that I have may be His. Here I am, seeking to impart to you what God has laid upon my heart. I pray that as this blog progresses the Lord will continue to speak through me so that the words I write down may be His words alone and not mine. Further more, I pray that the Lord of Hosts and King of Kings will open the minds and hearts of my readers so that with spiritual understanding they may be able to understand what the Lord says to them.

I do not wish this blog to become a place for people to debate the existence of God and His power because the fact of God's existence is not somehow discredited by disbelief, it remains a fact despite the growing number of unbelievers. The simple aim of this blog is to impart to you what the Lord has laid upon my heart. If you disagree with me or would like clarification about something feel free to e-mail me only if you truly want to learn more and are not simply looking to start an argument. Do not, however, bombard me with e-mails mocking my beliefs or trying to change my mind about what I believe, doing so will be in vain because I will not let myself be led astray 'through philosophy and deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ' (Col. 2:8).
