Is Your Heart on Fire? - Glen BerteauSample

You Have Been Chosen
You have been chosen to change the world. God foreordained you to be a positive influence, an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven, and a carrier of revival to the world. What impact are you making today? Accepting God’s call to change the world is a choice only you can make. Too often we think a solution to our problems lies somewhere beyond us. Too often our thoughts are formed from watching the news and surfing the internet rather than from reading our Bibles.

That outside influence shapes our opinions and the way we think. The state of the world feels chaotic, and we lose the pulse on God’s plans and how He can use the seemingly most unqualified individuals to shape history. The good news is that we know the only one who can breathe upon this earth and bring revival, unity, and hope. God’s story is one of hope. It is one in which God will use everything that comes against you for good.

A personal revival doesn’t change who you are; it will remove who you are not. Your desire to succeed must be greater than your fear of failure. When you give God your heart, He will light it with His destiny and purpose. You will understand why you are alive right now. Can you imagine what you could do with a heart full of fire for Jesus? You may not feel as if you have been chosen, but God has predestined you to be a carrier of revival to the world. In order to fulfill your calling, you must accept that God has chosen you for such a time as this. So how do you start? Where do you begin?

·Start by acknowledging, out loud, that you have been chosen to change the world, your city, and your neighborhood.

·Start by being fed up with what is going on in the world. You are the difference-maker.

·Start by healing your heart through the giving and receiving of forgiveness.

God is going to use you to touch society. Wherever you go today, you can affect somebody. Try to be a light in someone’s day!
