In His Presence

So, the semester is winding down and we are all about to go our merry way back home. Sometimes to me home is dreadful. I love my family, but I feel there is a wall between me and God. Why is there a wall? I don't think it has anything at all do with being at home. There may be more strongholds there, but I am a daughter of the King. Strongholds in a simple little town should not touch me if I have received the true inheritance of my Savior. Perhaps I have built the wall myself. Perhaps I am out of my comfort zone when I go home, so I bubble up. Sounds odd...because home once was my comfort zone until I came to Auburn. It is so easy to lean on the Lord when I am down here. I have friends down here to support me. But for some reason when I go home, I feel I have to be a different person. A person that is just content to where she is in her relationship with the Lord. Well, I am not going to hold myself back anymore.

The Lord has given me an annointing for a reason. It wasn't just for Auburn...it's for everywhere I am...even if it is Albertville, AL. So, it is my prayer that I live my life in Albertville like I do in Auburn...using the full annointing that Christ Jesus has given me. When I pray, "May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," it holds true for when I go home. I don't want a revival just to explode in Auburn. I want it to explode everywhere! I have this dream about Snead State Community College having a revival. I want to claim this as a promise from God. Snead's mascot is a parson, let's allow the mascot be Jesus...better yet, let's allow Jesus to be the Savior of Snead. He already is anyway...I think I have this calling to go back home once I am done in Auburn. As much as I have fought it ever since I did not get that job with Snead, I believe He is calling me back home. You know, he has brought all of us to Auburn to be a part of this revival that is coming. Well, I don't think all of us are going to stay here in this town called Auburn. Our job will not be finished, for we will spread the good news in other places too, whether it be our hometowns or another country. The buck doesn't stop here, so the cliche goes. Mark 16:15-20 says:

15And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.

This is the life I want to live, no matter where I am located.
