What started as just a thought has escalated into something more. I am not sure where to begin. Let me try.
I was somewhere around the age of 11 when I first felt the call of God on my life. That moment I will never forget. The call of God came suddenly. I did not fight it, I accepted it. I wanted to be used of God. I was not sure exactly how God would use me, but I was confident that I wanted the hand of God in my life.
I have seen His hand and experienced His touch on my life from that day until now. I have enjoyed preaching in many pulpits and seeing God change many lives. I have experienced some great tragedies in my life as well that have tried to rob me of the calling. However, with the help of God, I am a survivor.
I am a survivor for a reason.
I have made it for a purpose.
Now I have to find that purpose.
I was online today and came across the most recent Internet sensation. A new YouTube viral video. I watched it... all 30 mins. I was touched. It is the attempt of one man to change his world by moving the masses to action against a violent criminal in Africa. I was touched. As I watched, I applauded that mans passion. Then I was convicted.
Just for giggles I checked the demographics of Oklahoma. 3.8 million is the population of the state that I call home. One state in 50. One small space when compared to North America and even smaller when seen through the eyes of the world. So I narrowed it down to just my city. 580,000 people in Oklahoma City. WOW!!
Then a million thoughts ran through my head. What would happen if every truth preaching church united for the cause of reaching our State with the Gospel? What if we stopped building our own kingdoms and started working for the Kingdom of God? What if we invested as much effort in reaching the lost as we do in preparing building plans and fund raisers? What if our soul purpose was evangelizing our city until everyone has heard this message at least once?
Then I thought.... What if ONE person, just one, decided to break the mold and get crazy? What if that ONE person, gave all he or she had to give? What if it cost them everything?
WHAT IF I DECIDED TO BE THAT ONE!?!
