Don't wait, but Go

Rhema - Acts 1: "7He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Inspection - Jesus said to His disciples that they don't need to know when God will move. Instead, when you receive power from the Holy Spirit, you need to start preaching till to the ends of the earth.

Committment - I don't need to wait for God, but if I received power, I need to start spreading the gospel and sharing about Jesus. I also need to stay close to the Lord by talking to Him daily and listening to Him, spending time in His presence. If I'm away from God, I will run out of fuel for a example. Then I need to come back, and be refreshed.

Exalt - Dear God, Lord I pray that you'll help me to move even when I don't feel you there. You commanded us to make disciples, and you didn't say wait. You wanted us to do it daily, and build them up. I pray that you'll give me the courage to go out and make disciples. When I'm dry, I pray that you'll fill my cup. I thank you for this scripture that makes your commandment clear. In Jesus Name, Amen.
