Clarity


Let's take a trip back to October 2007, on a Thursday night God called me to the ministry while driving home from Encounter (campus ministry). Ever since that night, I have known in my mind what I want to spend the rest of my life taking part in. I am at a point in my life right now where I have a huge weight on my shoulder to do something about that calling. I feel like up until this point I have taken major baby steps in observing what a life of full time ministry could look like. It seems like everyday I wake up with this sense of urgency under my feet to take off with it. I am ready to be used for the Kingdom. Recently I have been praying that God would give me clarity on exactly how he wants to use me. There are some options I know I could see myself in but I am seeking God's voice on how and where he wants to use me before jumping to any conclusion. As some of you know, I have a heart for the nations across the globe. I also know that America is a country right now in desperate need for this generation, my generation, to have leaders rise up and lead with passion uniting the church across this country to bring eternal glory to the Kingdom. I want to be apart of something that reaches people all across the world bringing glory to the throne of grace. I want all the glory and praise go to the one and only King of Kings sitting on the throne. Readers of this blog, I want you to know that I am praying for a sense of urgency to rise up in this nation and all over the world that leaders would get serious about serving the King. What would it look like if a generation of believers got serious about serving God? If that sense of urgency would come under this nation once again, what would it look like? What kind of impact could this nation have on the world if this generation got serious about serving the King? I am so thankful for the support of the people whom have invested truth into my life throughout the last twenty years. Please pray for clarity for me on what to do with the sense of urgency I have to put my calling in the sea.

"I will rise when He calls my name"

Living for the King,

Nathan

Nathan,

I am right there with you! God has been drawing my heart to pursue Him passionately and to make His name known to reach the nations. God is the GOD of all languages. I praise Him with you and ask that God would be praised to the MAX in your life. Praying with you...
