Identity..
My Identity, Worth and Value –
I am not a chairperson. I am a child of God.
I am not defined by what I do, study, or preach, but by what Jesus has already done for me on the Cross.
I do because I already am.
I obey, because my victory is secure in Him.
So let me not rely on my own will, to do what He has accomplished — the impossible.
Instead, I strain forward to do what He has prepared for me to do — good works;
That He might be glorified, and I most satisfied in intimacy and reliance on Him.
Daddy God –
take my heart, my soul, my mind, my entire being, and consecrate it… for your purpose. Outside of you I know I can do nothing to sell vision, to persuade a crowd, to preach, to convince the hearts of your people. All you require is for me to listen and obey, listen and convey your word, to trust in you — that in your Sovereignty and Providence, your Spirit will convict your children, your people — and that you would stir in the hearts of this generation a mighty army of intercessors, preachers, prophets, healers, teachers and the like — to bring your kingdom to campus… that Revival Fire might once again mark our dark campuses… Father, I repent on behalf of my campus — for the abominations that are set before you… and I ask that you would use me, and this generation to wage war in the high places and purge such idols and evil from your sight. I repent on behalf of York of the sexual assaults that happen every month and I ask that you would bring revival, that You would change the spiritual atmosphere — bring Justice to York Jesus! That your will will be done on York University as it is in Heaven — and your Children would shine as bright lights to bring glory to your name– Let your Kingdom Come — Daddy I pray that this generation would not be marked by revival, or the ministries, or the people they bring to Christ, but they would be marked by your Spirit, covered by your blood — let our identity, worth, value, evaluation of success be in you alone. fix our eyes upon you –
