When You Enlisted in the Prayer Army.

When you enlisted in the prayer army
God sent you 
to government buildings
inner cities
neighborhoods
neighbors 
schools
businesses
He sent you
not the famous evangelist
not your pastor
He sent you

And He said
   You're the one
   You're the one
   You're the one I want to use
   You're qualified because I'm inside of you
   You're qualified because I gave you the right to pray in My name
   And I want you to go deal with this situation
   I want you to go 
   bind
   loose
   open 
   close
   I want you to pray for this person by name every day until they're saved
   I want you to pray about this issue until it changes
   I want you to pray for this school every day until revival breaks out 
   I want you to do it
   You're the one
   And listen to Me
   You are qualified
   And if you keep waiting for somebody else to do it
   There are going to be things left undone that I want to do
   Because I need you to sign up
   
Ten years later you are the one 
telling stories
writing books
saying
   God used me to do this
   I didn't really know what I was doing
   but He just did it anyway
You're the one talking about people who have been
saved
set free
delivered
about that village where everyone has come to Jesus
about that someone who was full of demons and now they are free
about that city where you planted your banner and contested the ground
because you didn't take it to so-and-so to have them pray
you said 
   Lord, use me
when you enlisted in the prayer army
and He sent you

Chins n' Assessment - 20160605

Just did a chin pyramid today in the park. As I've been saying for months now, catch as catch can. I haven't even been logging work, since I haven't been doing any noteworthy work worth logging. Which makes what you're about to see ... noteworthy.

Assessment for the quarter:

These are the numbers from someone who's been sitting in a truck 6 hours a day, with little oomph to get under the bar, to work or to eat according to a plan. I'm down 2% BF at the same BW from two months ago. Chest is down an inch, waist is the same, and all else is up. I grew muscle by doing nothing. I lost fat by eating garbage. My results fly in the face of years of training, study and experience.
If I really really cared about my HT situation, I'd say it was all God. Since I don't, I'll say this anyway: it's all God. God cares about the stuff that we don't let ourselves care about; those pursuits that we've shelved because we don't have room anymore for any passion for them because the passion for His kingdom and His righteousness have superseded all else.


But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. - Matthew 6:33
