This isn't going to work anymore. We [I] sit around and complain that GOD isn't moving, that He is making things hard for us, etc. But do we actually do something about it? Do we dive into prayer, or the Word? Do we seek His face daily and turn to Him every time we begin to feel suffering? Nope. We mope around and complain, focusing on ourselves and never stepping outside our nasty flesh. And we wonder why GOD doesn't do anything! Because we've been living with one foot in the Kingdom and the other in the world. The LORD isn't going to honor us anymore, isn't going to bring us further, until we GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WORLD! Completely! He's not going to put up with this half-crap anymore. We're past that. We're being made holy, yet we fill our eye-gates with gross stuff. We fill our minds with secular things. We fill our ears with worldly music, promoting promiscuity and death and selfishness. We complain about this veil between us and GOD, yet instead of fixing it, we add to it! HELLO! This is stupid! I'm tired of this crap. I want all that GOD can give me, 100% of His presence. I want true intimacy with the Father. I want victory for my family, victory for my friends, victory for my city. Instead of sitting around and wasting time, I want to be anointing my house. I want to be travailing for the needs of the people around me. Instead of riding my bike idly, I want to be proclaiming everywhere I see for the Kingdom of the LORD. Oh man, how I want faith. And passion. And sobriety. LIFE OR DEATH. I'm tired of being self-centered.
Father, give us the courage.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!!
Ah, but remember, His grace, mercy and love cover you every time you miss the mark. And you will miss the mark, because the mark of excellence, the standard, is Him.
But keep pursuing Him and Him alone, seek His face, not His hands. My prayer for each of you is to know Him and His love, to be so yielded and lovesick for Him that nothing ever satisfies you like Him.
He is worthy of our everything!
