Be Encouraged

I returned yesterday from a great week of spiritual activities.  The Minister's Conference in Georgia was awesome and the Revival meeting at the Harris Chapel church in Alabama was highly anointed and the Word of God challenged us each evening.  The past few days have challenged me to expand my view of the influence of the Kingdom of God.  It is so easy to limit the ability of God and the power of His Kingdom that is at work in this world.  I can have the tendency to look at the influence of the Kingdom of God through the eyes of the flesh rather than through the leadership of the Holy Spirit.  The Kingdom of God is an ever expanding Kingdom that is encompassing people from all around the world.  It is a blessing to be a part of a Kingdom that is inclusive rather than exclusive.  The Kingdom of God is open to anyone and everyone who will choose to commit their life to Jesus Christ and commit to following after Him in a lifetime of discipleship and development.  The people of God can be encouraged as we observe the spiritual landscape and realize that Christ is still making a difference in this world.  I encourage you to continue your passionate pursuit of a personal relationship with our Great Savior and allow Him to use you in the harvest field of His pursuit of the lost and hurting of our world.  Remember that Christ came to "seek and save that which is lost."  Let us be encouraged as we continue to commit to the ministry efforts of the Kingdom of God!
