That is a dangerous prayer to pray! It sounds very good, but if you think about it, you are giving God permission to do whatever He NEEDS to do in order to change you into the person He created you to be, not necessarily in the way YOU WANT to change. Wow! But in order to have true revival, to have an awesome God-encounter, that is exactly what needs to happen.
I say that I want to see God's power in my everyday life. I say that I want to be used of God and to have an exciting, abundant life sold out to Him, but am I really willing to pay the price?? What if he asks me to sell all of my belongings, or say or do something that might make me look foolish? What if I step out, and get it all wrong?
Fear, Pride and Distractions.
Three companions that have been by my side my entire life. Three things that keep me bound up and ineffective. Three things that I am sick and tired of feeling lurking over my shoulder. Three chains that bind my feet, my hands and my mouth keeping me stationary, frustrated and unfulfilled. Three besetting sins that have kept me from more of God for far too long...
Well, enough! Break them Lord!!! I am giving you permission! Set me free to do Your will in my life! Thank you Jesus!! Replace them with supernatural Faith, Humility and Focus on You! Help me to seek first Your Kingdom, then all of these things...signs and wonders, provision, joy, peace, miracles, life abundantly...will be added. Amen!
