Coming to Pass

This week and especially this weekend has absolutely blown my mind. God has been moving in an incredible way. I am humbled, grateful, and inspired. Several things came to pass this week and I can't withhold from sharing them with you all! I feel like it has been a continual cycle of unending blessings this week. God is so faithful, so persistent. If you are trusting in God to bring something to pass, continue to keep trusting Him. He will fulfill His promises! Always.

First off, God confirmed and laid down some solid vision in my life earlier on this week. I have a pretty good picture of His purpose for my life and the specific people group I am called to reach.  As I look back I see how God spoke this so many times into my life, but for some reason I just kept on questioning. I'm extremely excited and grateful God slapped in my face and woke me up to realize what was right in front of me. I have fully committed my life to reaching these people for the glory of God. Unless God stops me dead in my tracks I will recklessly abandon all to see these people have life in Christ. 

Something I am extremely thankful for this week was finding out that one of my friends has found true life in Christ. Her life is turning around and she is finding joy in Christ alone. She has recently plugged into a community group and I am so thankful she has people surrounding her that can speak Truth into her life! God will continue to come through for you!

We released our new album Kingdom Come this weekend. We gave out somewhere around 8,000 FREE copies (I think). It officially release on iTunes on Tuesday and 100% of proceeds are going to Samaritans Purse for a project called Turn on the Tap. It supplies water filtration system to people in Uganda that do not have access to clean water. As we celebrated how God has moved in our church this weekend, I absolutely broke. I'm so humbled to be a part of such a great move of God. He is using Elevation to reach this city, this state, churches worldwide, and even to the ends of the earth in places like Uganda.

I got to catch up with a friend from VMI last night and found out some news worth shouting about. I brought her to Elevation numerous times this summer and God used it to absolutely change her life and set her on fire. She recently shared some of Pastor Steven's Sun Stand Still stuff to the chaplain there. He got so pumped out and told her to send it out to everyone. People's lives are getting rocked by the message of audacious faith. Praying for a revival at VMI! Can't wait to see God blow that place up for His glory!

Today I got to hang out with my homeless friend, Richard (you can read about him here). I haven't seen him around in a while and found out today that he has been in the hospital with pneumonia. He is back on his feet and even has a job interview on Tuesday!


I am so unworthy to be apart of advancing the Kingdom in such a way of all of this, yet God is so loving to allow us to participate in an incredible journey with Him. I couldn't imagine using every ounce of me for anything better than making Jesus known. Sometimes it's hard to trust God when everything around you is falling apart. But know that things will come to pass in His time! Isaiah 55:11 says "So shall My word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." Cling to that Truth with everything you have! We serve a BIG God that is capable of bringing to pass in the unthinkable and the impossible.
