Daring to Dream (new realms of faith)

More musing from me pet mouse.......

God impressed something interesting upon me today. It's like He was saying to me "Do you dare to dream? Do you dare to have the faith that will tear down strongholds? Do you dare to believe I can manifest my Kingdom and overcome evil in the Earth? Do you dare to dream to see youth in South Africa (or any other nation) following after Jesus with raw passion?"

I am SEVERELY challenged. At times I feel my faith wilting and being blown around in the wind by the circumstances of life. I'm not a Christian superstar at all! I haven't written a book - I haven't preached that life-defining sermon. God has pursued me to the point that I'm provoked to live beyond the normal strata of the 9-5 life. I'm an average Joe with a weakness for God - and a severe weakness for His affections toward me.

Let him pursue you - let him have your HEART. Cast off restraint. Let Him take you to his banqueting table. This is way way more than a flamboyant verse in Song of Song. Consider this........it means letting him take YOUR HEART - your INNERMOST part of you. It means responding with EMOTION to his EMOTIONS. Cast off restraint toward Him.

I certainly don't claim He has ALL of me - but I know I've surrendered much - and it's fearfully wonderful!
