Matthew 22:14//Look it up. No time for being lazy. I could write the scripture out but would rather let you read from your own bible. (or click the link).
I'm not mean. Well, sometimes I can come across a bit rough.
FEW have been chosen. 5...4...3...2...1...lets get started!
God has called you to do something specifically for Him. We all know it. We realize it. We acknowledge it. Then, we get upset cause we know the truth about it but don't want to do it.
God has His hands on your life. Don't you know He'll protect you? I don't think you do. Sorry, my opinion. (Don't get upset)
The definition for "inner-freakness." Let's break it down shall we.
Inner- 1. : of or relating to the mind or spirit
Freak-1. :one that is markedly unusual or abnormal. 2. :a person who is obsessed with something.
You were not born to this world to just pass by. Life is more than that! You were put here to do something. Whether you think that your parents just had a love-fest and oops! there's a baby, let's name him RANDY or STEVE or MIKE or @ineffablegod!
No, God has a purpose for your life. Yes, we are put here to magnify and worship our Creator Jehovah. Just living life is not enough! Sorry to burst your bubble. I tend to do that at times.
You have an "inner-freakness" in you. Passion to sing, dance, preach, teach, speakout, etc!!!
Take a look at Gideon in the bible, what about Elijah..."that's old testament!" Then take a look at Jesus, Paul, Phillip, Peter and so on! They embraced and displayed their inner-being toward the world. God is waiting for you. He's been pounding your chest to get in. Your heart's been beating 93 mph for the past months. LET...IT...GO!
Yeah sure, people will call you crazy. They will think you're nuts. (They already think your nuts for following Jesus). They will call you a "freak." And when they do, just gently lay your hand on their shoulder and tell them...
..."thank you."
When you have time, read the life of Samuel "the Prophet." He will be motivation for you. The things he did for the Lord. There are some instances in his life where he called God, crazy!
NOTE TO SELF: GOD IS CRAZY.
NOTE TO YOU: GOD IS CRAZY.
I believe we are the last movement before Jesus comes back. He is raising up believers to do radical things. It's not enough for us to sit idle and not shake the buoys a bit. It's time to wake up! Create crashing waves! Many are called, but few are chosen! You have been chosen to go and preach the good news to the world! It's a privilege, and yet an a amazing responsibility. GO! GO! GO!

love the fire in this one! It's funny..I was praying about this in the morning (God's purpose). You def. hit the chord when you said sometimes we know what God has called us to, but we choose to ignore it anyways. I'm learning more and more that it is only when we follow His will, that we truly are set free. We have to be obsessed about Christ and DO something about it...that is the only way we can reach a lost world. The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few!
Okay, so you are right, we are all called and sometimes that call is nasty (great place for a hashtag), and as we walk that path we begin to see less and less people along the way. Jesus' garden experience was lonely and terrifying, shook Him to the very core, sweating blood, crying out, not being heard in some ways...so what happened after Jesus walked that path of suffering? He came back a transformed figure who brought with Him LIFE. In fact the way He moved towards others made them want to bring that same life to others at the expense of their own life (see Peter). If you know suffering then you know Him, if you allow suffering to be true (not to pretend it didn't happen) He will use you, but in His own way, we don't get to choose (or at least if we do it is not effective). Keep moving forward out there guys!
