Radical Love

The Lord is good, great, wonderful! He is amazing. Although it has been hard these first couple of weeks here in Kona, the Lord is forever faithful and His grace is all sufficient. These first four weeks have been full of meetings, contacting students, getting to know new people and dealing with the things on my own heart. Put that in your mixing pot and you have one worked man, but the Lord did say that we would have to toil and this first part of this season is building massive character in me and my brothers and sisters around me.

The Lord is ready to push this massive wave of love that is going to wipe us out and we don't/can't do anything about it except stand there. As of now, it's the calm before the storm. I have been waiting for this season for a year. We have officially named our DTS the AWAKEN DTS. The more we sit and think about what the Lord has put in front of us, the more we realize that we have about 60 people's lives in our hands. We have the privilege to call out people's destinies and run and shape and disciple and even be discipled by the people coming. The Lord is gracious and that graciousness is all sufficient.

I felt that the Lord wanted me to leave a word for whoever comes across this piece. That sounds pretty radical because I don't know if there are going to be 100 pair of eyes or not even one. Maybe mine is the only one. I believe that this is what we need to walk out in, which was what Jesus walked out in. Proverbs 9:10 states, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." In Isaiah 11:3 it says of Jesus, "and he will delight in the fear of the Lord." I challenge you to walk out in the delight of the fear of the Lord as I will also challenge myself. I pray that the Lord blesses you and that you receive His blessings.
