Dear Candace,
What is this? This insane lie that you believe to be truth… Would you like to hear it: You are living exactly the way I want you to live. NO, you aren’t. Candace, I didn’t call you to complacency or comfort. I didn’t call you to a sunday faith. I called you to be RADICAL. I describe a radical faith by making this simple request: deny yourself and follow me. Follow ME! I heard you say “YES!! I would love to!” You said it boldly. I Will follow him. When you said yes the angels rejoiced! I said it will not be easy for you but you said yes anyway. So why are you trying to earn Grace, and Love? Why are you trying to be Good, go to church, and do all the things that make you look Good? Candace, you are loving those who love you… and thinking… this is radical, right? WRONG!! Love your enemies, Pray for those who mistreat you, Give, GO and make my name known to ALL nations, Willingly lay down your life for a soul, forget your rights and stop expecting, surrender your life that is bound by chains and gain me! GainFREEDOM!! Make my name know! Pray in the name of JESUS and watch me heal the criple man and the broken hearted. Deny yourself!! Deny your precious little way of life. Deny your fancy little things. Your image. Your money, your life. Deny your FLESH or deny ME.. What do you choose?
LOVE,
Jesus
So… I went. I witnessed MIRACLES. I prayed for those who hated me. I sat in a church with no walls and it didn’t even phase me. I fell in love with Jesus! I overcame my biggest fears. I slept with very large bugs. I learned to trust. I learned the meaning of true Love. and I gave up everything and it was not easy…. BUT only for 2 months… now what? Jesus is saying… NOW WHAT? and nothing but radical ABANDONMENT and radical LOVE makes sense anymore.
Now… What do you do? what do you choose?
