My first but definitely not the last . . .


Here I go into the world of blogging. I definitely want to be a voice and not an echo. I want to be encouraging but not watered down. I want to be truthful but not hurtful. I want to write with conviction but not with rejection in mind.


I just finished a series of messages at Generations Church (the wonderful church that I have the privilege of being the Lead Pastor) called "DISCOVERING YOUR GOD GIVEN I MUST." These thoughts were based on the seven words of Jesus, " I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S BUSINESS." Jesus had His "I MUST" at 12 (Luke 2:41-52) and He still had it at 30 (Luke 4:18). Notice the word I used was discovering and not here it is do this.


Not that I had a question about it but I know without a doubt my "I MUST" is what I am doing. Leading a great church that will become a force in the earth and influencing a generation to live lives of purity and purpose.


My sense of destiny and purpose on a personal level and on a corporate level are at new heights. I know this because of the anointing on my life as I proceed and lead. (just a thought here) That is where the anointing is at . . . where we proceed step by step and lead. It is not pie in the sky I will wait until it just falls out of heaven on me. Recently I have sensed the Lord using me at home and abroad in a powerful way.


Lets get in the flow and see the Lord use us as we function in our "I MUST." Don't forget the "I MUST" challenge.


LETS QUIT GOING TO CHURCH (being religious) AND LETS START BEING THE CHURCH.



I MUST,

Ed
