Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I woke up this morning excited about being an Unstoppable Vessel for the Living God, Called to pour into this dark world…a world that desperately needs to know the Truth before it’s too late. When I saw how the fog had blotted out the lower field where the creek flows this morning, it reminded me of how the world works hard to blot out any sign of Jesus these days, too, BUT He can’t be blotted out (even though it looks like it) no matter how hard the Darkness tries – AND absolutely nothing can blot out my Heart for Him. I know that “greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world,” and I have everything I need for Victory. So, off to my Commander in Chief I went with an Eager Heart to Serve, and He filled me up with everything I need to Fearlessly pour back out into the dark world today. My Life overflows with Blessings, that’s for sure, but it’s not about what I have, it’s about what I GIVE AWAY. The Living God Blesses me, and I pour it all right back to Him. He Called me to be one of His own before the foundations of the earth, and I give away all that I Know as I do my Part to “disciple others into holiness”. He gives me Wisdom, and I pour it out to the world in His Name. He gives me Compassion, and I pour it all out to the world in His Name. Everything I have I give to Him, and when we pour out the Blessings to Him, there are no limits to what we can do in His Name. Isn’t that the way you see your Journey of Faith, too?

I think it’s pretty easy for most people to accept Blessings from God…and they’re usually pretty good about thanking Him…at least most of the time. Giving Him credit for the Blessings is one thing, pouring them back out to Him is an entirely different story. I think the lack of humility is the leading cause of thanking Him without the Heart to pour it back. When we’re humble enough to accept the fact that we don’t “deserve” ANY of the Blessings He gives…when we realize that there is no good thing in us apart from Him…then it becomes easy to pour it right back out with Love. God does LOVE us and He DOES want good things for His children, but the Blessings aren’t a “given” and they’re certainly not ours to hoard – not our children, not our material things, and certainly not our Faith.

When we pour out our children as a “love offering” to the Lord, we see Miraculous results. When we live the Life He calls us to live and we pour it all back in His Name, we see Miraculous things. When we pour out the blessing of Faith as a love offering to Him instead of a headcount of conversions, we see Miraculous things. It’s not about the Blessings we receive out of Love, it’s about what we’re willing to pour back to Him that matters the most.

The world is a dark place, and it’s getting darker by the minute…just the way the Bible says it will. Unfortunately, many people are pouring back into the darkness with rants and opinions, and they’re doing their part to Divide in the process. Sometimes people believe they need to educate the world somehow or that their stand for “right” is making a difference – but that’s like pouring gasoline on fire instead. Darkness can only be blotted out with the Light. If only more people would pour out the Light instead of playing in the darkness, we’d begin to see Miracles in these times. If only more people would talk about the Healing Power of Jesus Christ instead of the odds of dying from this or that, we’d begin to see Miracles in these times. If only more people would sing His Praises instead of trying to hold court in Heaven (the way Job did), we’d begin to see Miracles in these times. If only more people would SPEAK the Name of Jesus Christ throughout the day, every day, regardless of “consequences”, we’d begin to see Miracles in these times. If every demon in Hell shudders at the mention of the name of Jesus, I can only imagine what this dark world would look like if we poured Him out into the world. It doesn’t matter what we have, or what He allows to be taken away – the ONLY thing that matters is what WE give away…or pour out…in His Name.

I’m blessed beyond measure to have been chosen to be the mother to my four children. They’re kind, compassionate, beautiful, funny, smart, and everything Good in between. I did my part out of love, but the end result of a family of Believers all comes down to me being willing to pour Jesus into them….four Blessings too wonderful for me to comprehend…blessings I did nothing to “deserve.” I’ve been Blessed beyond measure to steward this beautiful farm, but I did nothing to “deserve” it. Instead, I poured it all back to Him…a blessing too wonderful for me to comprehend…a blessing I didn’t “deserve.” A Saving Faith in Jesus Christ is a blessing too wonderful for me to comprehend too, so I pour it all back in His Name. I know my Destiny is secured ONLY by His blood (and nothing I do on my own), so when you hear me Sharing it with the world, you’ll be an eye-witness to what it looks like to pour it all back to Him…the Living Water…our only Hope. When you look at it that way, it’s hard to understand why people are hoarding their Faith as if it’s something they deserve, instead of pouring it out as a Love offering to the Living God.

Today will be like any other day for me in some ways. It won’t be about the Blessings I receive, it will be about what I’m willing to pour back to Him. He’s my everything so everything I have…everything I am…all gets poured out as a Love Offering to the Living Water…the One who died for me…AND THAT’S why my Life overflows with Blessings that I don’t deserve. I am, and I will always be, Victorious…no matter how dark this world gets before He calls me Home…as long as I pour it all out in His Name.

There is no place for lukewarm. Wake up Church!
