Remember your Place

Remember who we are doing this for. We are not doing this to please another person. We are not doing this for our church or our business. We are not doing this to prove something to our neighbor. When we try to “prove” something to another we fail. We fail because when we try to prove something we are basically telling them we are better than them, that they are doing it wrong versus us doing it right. And after all, we are all sinners daily. We are simply to allow the power of the Holy Spirit to be released through us and poured out onto others. We are to please God by being the one He created uniquely individual and reminding ourselves He is our “Boss”. He is the reason we do what we are doing. Don’t allow yourself to be caught up in doing a good job because the more you put into it the less space you are allowing the Holy Spirit to work. By keeping yourself and thoughts and actions out of it you are allowing the Holy Spirit to completely take over and it is when you allow the Holy Spirit to completely take over you allow Jesus to work through you for God’s work. It is simply your job to allow God to work through you and not at your discernment but you have to completely submit to His authority to be truly successful for Him. He will love you absolutely no matter what, but if you want to make him a little happier then just collapse in His arms and allow His breathe to be your breathe and His body to be your body and His words and actions to come out of you for others to meet Him. Others may not have ever known Jesus or maybe they just haven’t been around Him lately. If you stand in the way you are keeping them from His Glory and His insurmountable love for them. They need His presence and you are to be the connection point for their “hook up”. Whatever happens or does not just know you have done your part by allowing God’s work to be done. Don’t get caught up in thinking people have to make a decision or give you the reaction you want. Remember this is not about what you think or what you want, this is about God’s plan and His ways and His timing. But WOW! Praise God! You actually get to be a part of it! Glory! How amazing that YOU have been chosen to do such a task for the glorious King, so please be obedient to Him, not your flesh. You hold the answer to someone’s prayer and when you don’t submit to the Holy Spirit you keep the answer to yourself and they must wait until someone else comes that is going to be obedient to God’s word.
