God is Doing a New Thing

When I think and pray for the congregations I serve and the communities they minister to I am reminded constantly of how surprising new life really is. The scriptures turn our focus back constantly to God's wildness in our midst. I cannot make the kingdom grow only Jesus can do that and my job is to trust him to work. That trust must be put into practice as I pray, study and meeting with people. Faith works if it is real faith. Strategy is then rooted in prayer as I pray not only for my own personal revival but for the revival of the people so that we trust and enter into the work of the kingdom by the power of the Spirit. It is simple: Trust Jesus, live that faith and pray strategically about what God calls you to do.
