The leaders of a new revolution...by Bro. Randy T. Williams...1Jn 2:15-17 (Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, - because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.) - And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the (will of God) abides forever.For those who wonder to themselves...am I called?The answer would be. Yes.For those who wonder what I am called to?Just (BE) you...with Jesus inside of you Well what does this mean? I believe we all realize that there is a purpose inside of us to do something. An internal drive to reach toward a certain goal that WE ultimately have the option to choose. If I reword it in a different way...so we can better identify ourselves in this world it would be. We are the children of God and we are the examples of the fullness of God on the Earth; and GOD (gives) you the option to choose what goal you want to obtain with him. We have short term goals and long term goals some maybe to get a house, to be married, have kids, and etc. However, we try to figure out how as i function in this world how do I obtain the prize that I desire. Well you can get anything you set your mind too. look on T.V we have millions of people that can prove that but, how can we obtain the things that are safe from harm, will not fade away, and will not become a statistic of bad news.It begins when we seek for the Will of God in our individual lives and we look to utilize the power of the holy spirit to be examples of him in all that we do. It wasn't meant for a rubix cube to be tossed in our minds on finding the Will of God for our lives...however, because we all are different and entitled to our own sense of direction via the HOLY SPIRIT we get tripped up. We start looking at people and their examples. We start looking at T.V and thinking " Oh that must be God." But Jesus is the opposite of a majority of every example that has been set before you. He was a man born from a woman in a manger. He never married a woman...never became rich or had sex.His father was a carpenter, his mother became pregnant without his father.His genealogical line goes back to some of the greatest peopleof the known worldand the land he was born on...incorporated the stories of people who have died, shed blood, and overcame many things for his testimony.He was teaching people at the age of 12...those in the churchHe was born before Abraham...and God raised him from the dead.....in one wrapped up summary Jesus was just the Son of God and every notion since the beginning of the earth added up to it. But, when someone says do Gods will...why do most people sit and think...Where do I start? Then there they are walking to their car trying to figure out How? In their minds they are saying. do it like that pastor. Be like him next to me or like T.D Jakes, Kenneth Copeland, or Yolanda Adams. Then by the time we get wore out trying to get a grasp on how we do it we give up trying to sync so many examples of ways to achieve the goal we don do anything. Well lets get to the simplicity of the matter and get you some arrows that point YOU to find YOU with the living God inside of YOU. 1) What is the desired goal of GOD? To have his sons and daughters saved and loved by a God who is named from the Redeemer of his children...to the Provider for his Children. He is the Alpha and Omega of this entire universe...the bible also states he is "The author and finisher of OUR..faith" He is the light source of all things. He established the order of the planets with words and to this day sits on a throne patiently governing the entire universe. He wants you. Who he fearfully and wonderfully made and your faith that he will support everything you can ask for. He wants your love. He wants your relationship and fellowship with him. He wants you. Ok, now all of that sounds crazy. The King of All Kings, and Lord of all Lords wants me! I mean yesterday I ate pork chops and rice. This morning I overslept and washed dishes in the afternoon. The creator of all heaven and earth wants a relationship with me? I mean I can't even be friends sometimes with some people that are family to me. What the deal that he sees with the Investment in me. 2) You are the Salt and Light of the EarthMat 5:13 - 16 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men.-You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.- Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lamp stand. And it gives light to all who are in the house.- Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. God wants you to be a billboard of his fullness on the earth. its funny we are billboards for sports teams, kwirky messages, and fads. We can wear jerseys of our favorite sports players who have no knowledge of truth and love. We can watch desperate housewives and entertain adulterous thoughts, we can drink and smoke till we pass out. and be an example of how effective beer and weed can be. But we can't BE billboards for Jesus. That doesn mean walking around in a cloak and riding donkeys to work. No. What God really wants you to do is overcome every evil with good. He wants you to BEcome like Jesus in character, mind, spirit, and example. He wants you to BE like him. After you engage the goal to become like him....then GOD hires you into a purpose that is set only for you. 3) God uses what you already have then multiplies itGod has given you talents and giftings to be effective in the chosen path he has set for you. It just depends on you. For instance: If you can tell jokes....tell jokes that bring life to people who are down. Christian jokes that don put people down but illustrates humorous parts of life that encourages fellowship, love, and life. If God has given you the ability to cook. Become that person in the family that can create thanksgiving or daily meals for your family to create FELLOWSHIP. God can then take you from a small table to a whole banquet and many more. If God has given you the ability in athletics.. Then represent Jesus in each field he has set you in. Be a team player. A consistent encourager to a team that wins as a team instead of a particular person. Encourage your team to play fairly and to respect the coach. To be great sportsmen in front of who are playing in front of and...above all in the time of honoring for a Championship won....GIVE ALL CREDIT TO GOD. Not you.In conclusion, Jesus commands us "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27But if I love him who I cant see how do I integrate that with those I can see.God then uses you as a vessel of someone who can show his love through to all people.That includes Spouses, children, animals, employers, governments, the earth, and most of all yourself. All of this comes by just doing all that he tells you to do by the Bible and becoming who he wants you to be. Becoming a victorious person who has overcome the world. Who lives in rest with him. Who depends on him for all things. Who talks to him about what going on. Who takes care of what is given to you for responsibility. To endure against people who strive against him. To BE the light and not someone who sees the light...looks in a mirror and forgets what he looks like.Just Love Jesus.Your brother in Christ,Randy Williams
