Powerful Words

Job 25, Mark 13,14

Scripture:
Mark 13:10And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Mark 14: 35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36"Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

Observation:
In Mark 14:25 we read some of the most committed words ever spoken out of sacrifice, love and purpose. Jesus is preparing for the crucifixion, where He will die an horrible unjust death for all of mankind. The innocent lamb slayed for the sin's of all. The words remind me this morning of the incredible pain and torture He would go through. The fact is that my sin took Him through this! In Mark 13:10, the nations speak to me. God has called us to reach the nations and to deliver the good news to all.

Application:
I am called to the nations and I do not know how it is going to happen, but I believe God has spoken it and He will work it out. I have the passion, the vision and the gifts, I feel equipped but there is still a lot to learn and the timing is at hand, but i must still be patient and keep my heart right. I feel a new authority on me, I felt it break last week and it was birthed in my spirit. For now I step into it, it is new, like where a new pair of shoes, still a little weird, but i felt it when i preached on Sunday. I'm excited, I believe and i speak to the vision today and call it into being.

Prayer:
Father, I thank You for all You are doing in my life and for the incredible calling You have given me. I know that I am only worthy because of the incredible gift of Jesus. Without him I would have nothing. I stand before You today, humbled, but excited like a kid in a toy store. I pray today for wisdom, for favor, for clarity and for protection. Guard my heart, my tongue, my mind and my heart. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. I thank You today for all You are doing and for all the plans You have for me. I speak to the nations, hear the word of the Lord. Father guide me today and show me the way in which to hear. Holy Spirit speak to me. I pray for restoration, elevation and multiplication in my life and my wife.
amen.
