I get frustrated.

I suppose I am at a level of frustration. I suppose I really just want to ask the question:

Do you love Jesus enough to go ANYWHERE for him?

When you say, "Oh I maybe could go one day somewhere different and minister". One day? I'm not buying it. If we are commissioned to go to the world now then what's with this "one day..." stuff? I don't want to hear anymore of this "When I get myself straight financially..." stuff anymore. I'm tired of the cop outs. I'm tired of excuses. 

I'm tired of statements that make stalling to GO seem justifiable.

I'm done with those who are supposed to be spiritual leaders not taking leaps of faith, and just not leading. I'm tired of being a woman and not seeing men step up where they are needed. I'm tired of being a woman and seeing other women not be strong women of God because their focus is not there. 

Would you go to slums, projects, or villages and live there to be witnesses of Christ? Slums in India, projects in NYC, or in the villages of Southeast Asia? Would you be a Jonah? 

Kicking and screaming and still pouting after all was said and done?

Or an Isaiah?

"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:

'Whom shall I send?

And whom shall go for Us?'

Then I said, 'Here am I Lord! Send me!'

Do you love Him enough to be sent in blind? Do you have that kind of faith? All I know is, I'm tired of it. There are to many Jonah's who never even have enough faith to fess up that they are the one's causing the storm and let the boat be crushed to pieces. 

I'm over the excuses. I thank God for all types of ministries, especially the one's we simply live out with our lives primarily. This is not a missions push. This is not a my ministry is better than yours thing. It's an are you willing to go anywhere for the God who saved your soul and pay it forward? Thing. Yes, I'm sick of the apathy and people doing the comfortable thing. 

It's something I cannot tolerate anymore. Don't tell me you couldn't do it. Don't let me hear "It takes a special kind of person to go over there..." Don't give me the excuse that you're to old. Don't tell me you want to "live your life first". Don't tell me you couldn't go without what you have now. Don't give me this junk. 

I won't take it or believe it. WE ARE CALLED TO DO THIS, EVERYONE, EVERYONE, EVERYONE, EVERYONE.

THE CHURCH, BELIEVERS, THE BODY.

ALL OF US.

Please don't give me weak excuses, I've heard most of them. This includes ministry in America as well. Don't get it twisted. We are called to do the job. We are qualified by blood and guided by an undeserved gift. We squander this opportunity. 

Please go. Please.

Go and do work for the Lord.

Please go and love and work.

Get out there in this world.

Please just stop making excuses and GO.

Please.

All to God
