I Want To Set The World On Fire(:

It was just yesterday when I was in the living room and I still hadn't changed the channel from playing Christian music. Don't get me wrong, I love Christian music... and this time, I was reading over my last post about Dare 2 Share... and was almost crying. I don't like sharing what I shared, but I choose to do so anyways. And as much as it hurts looking back at 2010, I'm seeing that that year was needed to get me to where I am now. I do, at times, miss who I was... but then I remember how much I love who I am because of 2010..

But anyways, as I was reading it, the song "Healing Hand Of God" by Jeremy Camp was playing, and then it was "Set The World On Fire" by Britt Nicole... those songs seem to go together so well for me.. I guess it's because I've seen the healing hand of God, and I know He is who He says He is, that I want to set the world on fire for Him... He's too good to keep silent about. And I don't care if talking about Him makes me uncool. If anyone knows me at all, they can tell that I clearly do not care about being "cool" or "fitting in"... I'm me and that's that. I love Jesus and I'm not afraid to tell people that. Call it unashamed of the One who died to give me life.

If loving Jesus and making it known makes me uncool then so be it. I'm not bothered. and it's nothing new to me... Yeah, it may suck at times when it's my friends who decide to walk away from me because I told about a God who loves them so much that He died to save them and wants to give them eternal life if they'd just put their faith and trust in the one who is trustworthy and faithful forever.

"My Fathers will is that everyone who looks to the Son of Man and believes in Him, shall have eternal life..." -John 6:40.

If you ask me, I'd say that being uncool is the coolest thing ever... but the world would never agree on that. I've been called crazy, but I've come to embrace it.(:

[Lyrics - Britt Nicole.]

I wanna set the world on fire

Until it's burning bright for You

It's everything that I desire

Can I be the one You use?

[Chorus]

I, I am small but

You, You are big enough

I, I am weak but

You, You are strong enough to

Take my dreams

Come and give them wings

Lord with You

Nothing I can not do

Nothing I cannot do

I wanna feed the hungry children

And reach across the farthest land

And tell the broken there is healing

And mercy in the Father's hands

----

I could swear that this song just reads my heart so well... I want to set the world on fire till it's burning bright for You. Do you agree? If you do, then I challenge you to reach out to someone who needs to be shown the love that'll never fade away... the love that changed lives 2,000 years ago, will do the same in 2011.. The God who used people who weren't considered "cool" back then, is and will do the same today... Are you ready and willing to be used by and for the God of the universe? (:

I am.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” -Matthew 28:18-20

I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.-Isaiah 46:4

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts 1:8

"If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, let not one go unwarned and unprayed for." -Charles Spurgeon

"I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them." - Spurgeon.

"I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church." - Spurgeon.

"Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer." - Spurgeon.

Are you in with me?(:
