Kim and I (The opportunists)
came along and...
DRANK IT!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
HEEEEEY it was just sittin there...
...AND we were THIRSTY!!!
.
I found this quote the other day and just busted up laughing!!! I read it to Kim and she busted up laughing, we were like, okaaaaaaaay that is sooooooo US!!! LOL...buuuut then I was thinking about it some more and weeeeelll...I thought this quote kind of reminded me of someone from the Bible...
.
JACOB!!! Jacob didn't care that the odds were against him!!! He didn't care about what was SUPPOSED to be...he was DETERMINED to get the blessing from God!!! I was thinking about how thats truley the way we need to be with the things of God!!! Sometimes we spend so much time, thinking, planning, programming, determining, trying to figure stuff out and what we REALLY need to do is just go out and GET IT!!! GO OUT AND DO IT!!!
.
Often times we worry sooo much about HOW to do something or WHO should do something, that the Bible says we should do, that we MISS out on actually accomplishing WHAT the Bible is telling us to do!!! Sometimes you just have to say, you know what, I don't care who is right and who is wrong, my eyes are on JESUS!!! It doesn't matter where I am or what is standing in my way, i'm gonna touch the Lord, I'm gonna go reach the lost, I'm going to do something for the Lord.
.
Maybe you feel like your not the right person or you wern't born into the right family, or you didn't grow up in church or your not as good as somone else, but all that doesn't matter, God's looking for your desire, for your THIRST towards the things of God, you just need reach out and get the annointing. WE need to have the heart of Jacob!!!
.
He was DESTINED to NOT get the blessings of God, due to his circumstances in life. But Jacob didn't care WHAT he was destined to, he made up his mind, I'm going to GET THE BLESSING!!! And when he saw an OPPORTUNITY, he reached out and grabbed it!!! Jacob's desire, CHANGED his own destiny!!!
.
You may have been born into an Apostolic heritage, or you may have been born in SIN!!! You may have raised in a preacher's home, or you have been raised in a broken home...NEITHER of these matter to God!!! What God is looking at is YOUR DESIRE!!!
.
Are you THIRSTY??? Because...THERE IS A CUP and a cup was NOT made to be looked at!!! It was NOT made to be talked about!!!! A cup is made for YOU TO DRINK FROM!!! If your thirsty stop thinking, talking, arguing, trying to be right, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, and while everyone is still discussing the issues, just go drink up the blessings of God!
