The Spiritually Vigorous Saint | Oswald Chambers

. . . that I may know Him . . . -Philippians 3:10

A saint is not to take the initiative toward self-realization, but toward knowing Jesus Christ. A spiritually vigorous saint never believes that his circumstances simply happen at random, nor does he ever think of his life as being divided into the secular and the sacred. He sees every situation in which he finds himself as the means of obtaining a greater knowledge of Jesus Christ, and he has an attitude of unrestrained abandon and total surrender about him. The Holy Spirit is determined that we will have the realization of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives, and He will bring us back to the same point over and over again until we do. Self-realization only leads to the glorification of good works, whereas a saint of God glorifies Jesus Christ through his good works. Whatever we may be doing- even eating, drinking, or washing disciples' feet- we have to take the initiative of realizing and recognizing Jesus Christ in it. Every phase of our life has its counterpart in the life of Jesus. Our Lord realized His relationship to the Father even in the most menial task. "Jesus, knowing . . . that He had come from God and was going to God, . . . took a towel . . . and began to wash the disciples' feet . . ." (John 13:3-5).

The aim of a spiritually vigorous saint is "that I may know Him . . ." Do I know Him where I am today? If not, I am failing Him. I am not here for self-realization, but to know Jesus Christ. In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.

Seriously?!

So, I worked all day to get air conditioning at the house and to get my truck finally inspected and emissions and registered. As I came home triumphant, two window air conditioners in hand, prepared for the LONG anniversary weekend, what happens?

I walk in to Lori introducing me to the Montgomery County Health & Human Services Inspector. That's right! Surprise Inspection!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! And I thought nothing else could go wrong. Good news:
1- Health Inspector passed us!
2- Truck is done! Praise Jesus!
3- Air is not working, but we do have air with the window units and Eric, our neighbor had a portable unit we are borrowing.

We are now firmly again focused on this weekend. Get ready for some encouragement!!!!!!

I am SO SERIOUS about your lives! God is getting ready to knock all your socks off! That's why I'm getting hammered in life. I got news for you… It's all worth it to me as long as I see Jesus come and blow all your doors off and see God exalted over all.

Blessings!

Robby Dawkins Event | ACTIVAT3 Conference | August 12-13, 2011 SIGNUP TODAY!

THIS IS A FREE E-TICKETED EVENT

YOU MUST REGISTER WITH EVENTSBOT ONLINE TO BE ENSURED A SEAT!!!!

Come out for an awesome event not just for feeding your brain, but releasing your gifts, callings and passion for GOD. If you’ve seen Furious Love the Movie, you have met Robby and maybe didn’t know it. Now, do more than just watch a movie, learn to do the stuff.
The power and Presence of GOD was never meant to be only for a select few who would often throughout history misuse it or distort it. It is natural for each one of us to be supernatural as believers and Christians.
So, why live abnormally anymore tied down by the lie that normal Christianity is boring. Come be stirred by this love revolution. Come learn, be inspired, be released and sent to DO THE STUFF!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!

Furious Love Image

The Furious Love Film on partial on YouTube is Here:
Born to missionary parents in Japan, Robby had an early start in ministry. In his father’s church he began a children’s ministry at the age of 12, and became the youth minister at 16 years old. Robby says, “I knew from a young age that God had called me into ministry. My parents say that from the age of 2, I told people that I would grow up and be a missionary.” In many ways that has been the case in Robby’s life.
Robby and his wife, Angie, married in 1992, have pastored the Vineyard Church of Aurora, IL since 1996. They feel God called them to plant in a poor urban community, and continually use “power evangelism” to gather for the church. They estimate that over 50% of current attenders have come to Christ at the Vineyard Aurora, and that almost ¾ of those have come through “power” encounters.
“In addition to starting and pastoring this church, God has called me for the purpose of building up and equipping the local church with power tools for harvesting,” Robby shares. These “power tools” are prophetic ministry, healing, ministry of the presence of God, and deliverance from demonic power. Robby loves to tell literally hundreds of stories of his personal experiences, which include God using him and others he has mentored through the years to see God’s Kingdom “break in” with signs and wonders.
Having been in over 30 countries around the world, God has used him to help build the church internationally as well. He has ministered in many Muslim countries and in 2 of the top 10 most dangerous countries according to Voice of the Martyrs magazine
