Expectation, faith, hype, and moving into unknown territory…
Human nature… hmmmm…. Good Lord, what can we do with ourselves? We are fragile, and fool-hardy. We are easily hyped and manipulated by our emotions. Okay, Dwarf… what’s your point?
Here’s my point - I want more of God! I want Him to break through all the fraility and I want Him to show His mighty hand. I have been praying now everyday, almost the same prayer for nearly three years. Inside I prepare myself to wait on God. Inside my heart I have little conversations with myself. Stay balanced, don’t get too extreme, be careful to walk on the tight rope between expectation and patience. But I want the Spirit to overwhelm, to take us to a new place of Kingdom reality. God has broken my threshold of tears. Now I can’t seem to turn them off. I feel a tenderness in my heart and it leaks. When Gregorio said that our prayers need to be washed in tears, I now know what that means.
I don’t want to be hyped, or to do any “hyping.” Gregorio is a special guy. He is one part of the body of Christ whom the Lord has brought to us. He has something to share, something to impart. I don’t know how big a download the Lord has for us, and I want to be careful not to suggest anything more than what it is. Problem is, I don’t know what it is. So I am asking the Lord to arrange things the way He wants them, and I am doing my best to stay out of the way.
All we can do is ask the Lord to give us open, tender hearts able to receive whatever good things He wants to use our brother to bring to us. Gregorio quoted this passage from Romans 15 (on the short video clip we watched this past sunday) (29) I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ. Let’s pray and ask the Father to fulfill that desire in our midst.
