Courageous Humility Pt. 1Chikamu
Just a few passages make it clear, there is a freewill decision to receive or not receive what God has to offer us. For some reading this today, we may conclude we already received all God has for us the moment we asked Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. Others believe this to be true to an extent, but sense there must be something more to receive. Others may know well, they continue to resist what God has to offer, because the exchange of offering is simply too much. Be encouraged to take a moment to pray, and ask God to share His heart with you...
Do I believe there is more God has to offer me, than what I currently choose to receive?
Am I willfully resisting the fullness of Christ, because I see the cost being too much in some areas?
Am I willing to leave where I am now in my walk with Christ to ascend higher while also deepening my relationship with Him?
Prayer: Lord, we truly desire all that You have for us. Search our hearts and share with us where we may be blocking the blessing You have for us, because we may not have the courage to rise up to a new level of living in Christ. The degree and depth to which You are calling us may seem too much. It may require too much change, effort and discomfort. Holy Spirit, passionately and lovingly remind us You are our comfort and in the “business” of transforming lives. It is Your role in our lives, to transform us from image to image and glory to glory {see 2 Corinthians 3:18}. Lord, be with us this morning, help us respond to Your whispers and receive the song You desire to place in our lives. God keep us from being like the Israelites who could see and recognize what was right, but refused to act on it; who heard what You were saying, but do not really listen {Isaiah 42:20}. In Jesus Christ’s Name we pray, amen.

Be strong. Be Alert. Be Courageous. These words are the premise of this 30 day study where you will uncover God's desire for you to call out to Him and trust He will hear. Not only hear, but set you on sure footing, a path He sets before you, for your sake and the sake of those around you. From there you will dig into Scripture around what it means to courageously step into God's presence, how to do so, and what you can expect as a result of going into His presence. Finally, you will be encouraged to step towards the healing Christ offers, both individually, and as the collective Bride of Christ. Each day you will be encouraged to ask questions, seek answers in God and His Word, and identify the step YOU sense the Holy Spirit compelling you to take. Courage accompanies ACTION, and Christ reveals to us where to move next, while the Holy Spirit empowers us to do so!
