A John the Baptist people...

John the Baptists life prepared the way for Jesus! Yes he ate wild honey, ate locusts, and lived in the desert... but what makes him one of the great men of the bible is this - everything John was and all he did was done with the intention of preparing the way for Jesus! How insane is that.. and how challenging!

The question I ask is this... Isn't this God's plan, intention, purpose and desire for our lives as well? How can it not be if the nations - those who don't know Jesus - are so important to Him?

John lived a life that prepared the way because he knew God and understood the heart of God - he lived in the desert ( Luke 1 : 80 ) - it wasn't the locusts or honey that sustained him, it was God! It was through intimate relationship with God, in the desert, that God was able to prepare John to prepare the way!

God works in us to flow out of us!

We prepare the way - God saves! Us preparing the way for Jesus starts with allowing God to prepare and equip us in His presence, through His Word, in worship and by searching our hearts and leaving revelation of the mysteries of Jesus and who He is to us ( see Gabe's blog about how God does this - the red font ).

God works in us to flow out of us!

God my prayer is that when people speak of my life they will say I prepared the way for Jesus! Thats my prayer for you as well... God take us to that place more and more! God keep raising up this John the Baptist generation!

God work in us to flow out of us!
