The Ninth High Point of my Spiritual Life

The ninth high point of my spiritual life, which leads to my great passion to see Spiritual Reformation today, is picturing what could be in Europe.

OK, What Are We Really Talking About?

I’m talking about a huge change. Not just in our minds and hearts and wills. But in society, too. It’s not going to happen overnight. And it’s not going to start with a huge fanfare. It’s certainly not going to look at all like success in the beginning. But it will start slow, start with unassuming people and look a lot like failure. So you’re in? Great!

I like to start with the “Z,” what the end product looks like. The “Z” is a sweeping spiritual movement toward God. I mean we’re talking about whole groups of people, cities, towns, counties and countries turning toward God instead of turning inward toward something selfish or self centered. This would entail a great big, huge reversal of almost everything going on around us.

The church is sick. The leaders are sick. The systems are sick. The government is sick. The schools are sick. The businesses are sick. Anyway you get the picture of a lot of things needing change. And we’re not just talking about California. We’re talking about a few other places in the world.

And God wants you to do something about it. He wants me to do something about it. We’re not much but we can do something. Right!?

So that’s the “Z.” We start with a problem. We look way out to the end – the solution. And now we begin to plot step by step ways to get there.

And the great thing is that I’m not in charge. You’re not in charge!  But Someone Else is in charge! And THAT gives me a lot of comfort! Someone Else is drawing the map. Someone Else is plotting the course. Someone Else is issuing the flight tickets – even though we don’t know where we’re going. Someone Else is assuring the ultimate victory.

Jesus. Jesus. Say it with me now, “Jesus!”

He is who I follow. He is who I listen to. Jesus is who knows it all better than I. Jesus never fails.
