Lasting Impact Ministry

Nobody enjoys the fire.
The stretching.
The pruning.
The uncomfortable seasons where God begins removing what cannot go where He is taking us.

But refinement requires heat.

Gold is purified in the fire, and many times God uses this difficult seasons to reveal what needs to be surrendered, healed or removed from our lives.

Sometimes the fire burns away fear.
Sometimes pride.
Sometimes compromise, distraction, bitterness or old habits that no longer benefit us.

The fire is not always punishment.
Often it is preparation.

God is producing something cleaner, stronger, holier and more dependent upon Him.

Trust the Refiner.

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver... Malachi 3:3

When you walked it fire, you shall not be burned...
Isaiah 43:2

Ministry leader, do you behave the same way outside the walls of the church as you do inside?

Jesus warned against being like "whitewashed tombs", beautiful on the outside but inwardly full of death, hypocrisy and wickedness. Matthew 23:27-28

God is not only concerned with our public behavior, but also with the condition of our heart.
True righteousness is not performance for people, but it is surrender before God.

I'm not saying we never have a bad day.
But I pray that our character may match our calling both in private and in public.

Let our lives reflect integrity, humility, holiness, love, compassion and forgiveness wherever we go.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles..." Hebrews 12:1

People are always watching-waiting to see how we respond in difficult or negative situations.

As ministry leaders, we must be intentional about throwing off everything that could cause us to stumble or become entangled in sin.

Our lives should point others towards Christ, not away from him. May we live in a way that is pleasing to God the father, leading by example through grace, wisdom, humility and love.

Talk about a powerful finish to an anointed trip! Very early start to the day, trouble with the airline and the translator was 30 minutes late… THEN GOD showed up and showed out! The presence of the Living God was so incredibly powerful with every word spoken and every graduate receiving their diploma, God was moving sovereignly, loving me and powerful. He changed lives, including my own for His glory.
