Hi again!
I want to share with you the power of a resounding YES! The body of Christ has been crippled due to fear. Fear is a demonic lie that is often bought into and listened to rather than the voice of a good Father. When Jesus died on the cross and paid a high price for us, that means He bought us. We are no longer our own, but we get to live a life surrendered to the King. But due to fear, we often don’t live out the life that He has for us. As Christians, we get to partner with Holy Spirit when we invite Him into our lives and then we literally get to see heaven on earth when we live with a resounding yes. He may be asking us to move to another country to share the gospel, quit our jobs to stay home and disciple our children, start a business so that the business world will be infiltrated with kingdom men and women, or tell someone in the grocery store how much Jesus loves them. But if we allow fear to keep a NO in our hearts, the world will never get to know Him. If we as sons and daughters of God, don’t tell the world who Jesus is, then who will? The Bible says that the world is groaning for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed! It’s time for us to stand up with a resounding yes in our hearts and do whatever it is He’s asking us to do, no matter the cost. “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
That word resounding means it’s unmistakable. Our YES makes an impact whether small or large, and it’s valuable to the kingdom of God. The Bible says in proverbs that the righteous are as bold as a lion. That means that anyone who has submitted to Jesus and He is Lord over their lives is righteous, so that also means that we are bold! Part of being bold is not caring what anyone else thinks and living dead to yourself. In Luke, Jesus tells His disciples that if you truly want to follow me, then you must deny yourself or do away with your own selfish interests, pick up your cross, or be willing to suffer with me, and follow me or imitate me. True followers of Jesus live unashamed of the gospel and live with a resounding yes, because they honor the King more than the world around them. Let’s be bold and see heaven on earth together! Be blessed!
