Go God

This past week has been really amazing. Our speaker was Dan Baumann. He works on a YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii and has written 2 books. "Imprisoned in Iran" and "A Beautiful Way". Anyways, Dan is REALLY cool. He was pretty different from our other speakers, although they have all been totally different...Dan is really chill. He's a total beach guy, says "yeah" alot. And he's always sayin "Go God, go God.." He basically shared his life story with us, along with alot of other things. And I just wanna share with you some pieces of his lecture that really impacted me.
- EVERYTHING is all about Jesus. Start and end your days with Him.
-our vision of God is SO small. We can;t put God in a box! Once we ask God to give us a greater revelation of Himself, everything changes.
-Live right now. Alot of the time we are waiting on confirmation from God to go out and do something or make a decision and he wont say anything. Alot of the time He did respond but we either ignore it or don't listen. So often He is just waiting for us to respond in obedience!
- We can't always just wait for God to change our hearts about somthing. We need to trust and obey and trust that over time He will change our hearts.
-Remember the day you experianced God's love the most??? He's still the same today.
- So often we say our passion has died down or is gone. But it's still there! We are just letting our emotions rule over our passion. The passion is there even if you dont feel it.
-God wants to surprise us. He delights in us!
- Jesus called the disciples on ordinary, average days. Embrace the ordinary. Dont take ordinary days for granted. God loves to surprise us with Himself.
-It's no the "why" God is doing something that matters. it's about fully relying on Him.
- He will give you "special grace" when needed.
-Everything you ever wanna do for God, will be the overflow of intamacy with God.
-Life is discovering over and over again that God loves me =]
God wants to be apart of everything we do. We don't have to be doing something "spiritual" but just inviting God in and doing things with him makes it spiritual. Hangout with God.
- We cant make "feeling ready" our God
-All you have is today. The future doesnt even exist yet.
LIVE RIGHT NOW. DREAM BIG. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT DISCOVERING WHO GOD IS.
Everything in this life is about loving God and loving people. When you don't know what got wants you to do...you do know! love God and love people.
