I don't know where to begin, all I know is God spoke to me this morning. I don't think he is through speaking yet. I'm afraid...I really am...I fear the Lord. I know when he speaks it changes my life. While finishing up Breaking the Discipleship Code God spoke to me. I didn't break the discipleship code it broke me. Since breaking me God has refocused my mission clearer then ever...to rediscover the simplicity of Jesus and his ways. Today as I was reflecting on our world God reminded me that his house was to be house of prayer for all people (Matthew 21:13). You talk about the simplicity of Jesus and his ways. What if we had houses of prayer wherever we went. What if my house was a house of prayer for my neighborhood. What if when I went to places like the middle east I encourage those living under the oppressed hand of Islam to establish or be a house of prayer. This is exactly what happen in China beginning with Mao's Cultural Revolution. Today there are an estimated 60 million followers of Jesus in China. What if when we plant churches in North America we begin with a house of prayer.
Right on! I'm tired of talking about our problems instead of casting our cares upon Him. As always I am thankful for your insight.
