Looking Through A New Window!

"After he had seen the vision, we immediately made efforts to set out for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to evangelize them."
Acts 16:10 (hcsb)

As my old 1950's windows are being replaced this week in my home, God laid it on my heart that looking through a new window is so much like the vision given to Paul in Acts 16 to evangelize Europe! WOW, can you imagine what it was like to catch an evangelistic vision like this? My old windows have actually become dangerous because they stuck, unable to open with the crank type of openings, and many of the glass panes are cracked...just plain OLD! There is nothing like looking through a clear clean NEW window that can also give you new vision!

There are special times in the Christian life we have the privilege of looking through a new window at a new fresh vision that causes us to "immediately" have a new fresh evangelistic plan to add to the ones we use to share Jesus with others!

This is how I feel about "ECO: GIFTED2GO"! Just reading and describing the title fans the flame of The Holy Spirit in my heart as the first steps of publishing takes place in order to prepare The Body of Christ for "the vision....to evangelize them"...the important part of all of the evangelistic tools God has blessed the Body of Christ with is for us to "use them!" I can not wait for ECO:GIFTED2GO, but as we wait for the publishing process...LET'S PRAY as God gets ready to cast another effective vision for "Evangelistic Concern for Others: Gifted2Go" Take it from someone that has been trying to look through some old windows from the 1950's...there is nothing like CLEAR vision like I now have as I am looking through new windows!

In what ways is God casting a new fresh clear evangelistic vision in your life? Will we obey Him as He calls Christians to "come follow me" and "go"!? I join you in praying and sharing the GREATEST GIFT~JESUS with others using all of the awesome evangelistic tools that He has blessed the Body of Christ with! To The Ends of The Earth & Beyond!!

grass roots

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit" (Jeremiah 17:7-8, HCSB).

I believe that God's work is strengthened by grass roots movements. Jeremiah tells us that we are blessed when we trust in the Lord and place our confidence in Him. We are like trees planted by water that send our roots out to His stream and therefore, we don't fear when the heat comes. Our fruit and foliage remains green and we need not worry in case there is even a year-long dry spell.

In January 1985, I heard about the great awakenings and how individuals started them by praying for God to awaken His people. I heard someone tell a group about the difference that just one person who was fully committed to God could make. I told God that I wanted to be that person. Until recent years, I prayed daily for a great awakening. I don't care who starts it or how it happens but I want to go back on record that beginning today, I am praying for a great awakening.

I am praying for women (and anyone) who will join me in digging in and planting roots in Christ and in the ministry of helping women to be mobilized and leading people to Jesus. I believe that we need a grass roots movement of women who want to make a difference as they try to relate to a lost world. We need women who will pray for a great awakening among women. Let's pray that women will pray, arise, and go!

Will you join me?
