"But I have raised you up..."

Exodus 9:16... "But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

I love reading through scripture that doesn't seem that amazing and then all of a sudden... BAM!! it kind of hits you in the face because its actually so sick! That happened to me with the above passage... its insane and is found hidden amongst the stories of the plagues in Exodus!

What a statement over our lives - that God has raised us up to show us His power and for His name to be proclaimed in all the earth as a result - and what a privilige! We have all seen God's power displayed to us, experienced it first hand and are involved in proclaiming His name in all the earth, but the scripture made me think of all the people who haven't yet walked in what we have because they haven't met Jesus!

This scripture is a statement over their lives as well - they might not know it but we do! It is God's intention that they too will see His power and become people who proclaim His name in all the earth! These people are all around us - they sit next to us and walk past us everyday!

I honestly believe we have a massive inheritance in the schools around our area, in a sense a promised land that God is taking us into and we already are walking in to an extent! It awesome that we are not being like the Israelites and wandering in the desert for 40 years while a land of milk and honey is ready waiting for us but lets walk further! Lets take new ground, open new doors ( and windows - Stu Vivier ) and pour Jesus all over the place!

God has revealed and still is revealing to us our annointing and inheritance as kings and priests, lets pray that he would do that in our school mates as well - that they would catch hold of their true identity that is only found in Jesus!

The ground is ours, we will take it and the Kingdom of God will advance...

Booya! ( just for you jallaps )
