I believe we were made for so much more than we have been doing. We should arise and ask for more. We should realize we were made to be alive in Christ. We were made to serve our mightyKing. Do we believe His promises?
I'm afraid some of us have gone into a kind of hibernation, just going through the motions of meaningless prayer and groping through the bible without understanding. But those who have seen the work of His hand will stand in awe of God. Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding, and will accept instruction. They will become courageous knowing they are alive in Christ.
My purpose is that you may become encouraged in heart and united in love, so that you may know that in Christ is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Just how firm is your faith in Christ that you continue to live in Him and for Him?
You don't have to be afraid or timid for you have been given the fullness in Christ who is over every power an authority. He forgave you of your sins and took that which was against you and nailed it to the cross.
So, are you going with this generation which is becoming warriors for Jesus, instead of watching on the sideline? Jesus has equipped you, so begin with asking the Holy Spirit for the knowledge to know His will for your life, and do it. You were born to be courageous.
After all, God is on your side, so it's your decision. There is no reason to be afraid or discouraged for :
You have been made "Alive in Christ"!

Good post. I like the call to a deeper level of activity. We all need to start living the life so many of us simply claim with words.
