I started listening to the blurry creatures podcast again today after a bit of a hiatus. Often times, I commute to faraway places to provide services to skilled nursing facilities, which affords me the time to explore what fascinates me. In retrospect, it was likely the Holy Spirit working into my daily routine. The most recent episode was with this guest named John Bevere. I have never heard of the man before today, and I have not had the opportunity to research him further, but I guess that he has written a bunch of books. He was there talking about his most recent book, which is about the second coming of Jesus. It wasn’t so much about concrete predictions, but there was one. That always gives me pause, but he did talk about the right message. And his personal stories resonated with me, when he thought God was choosing the worst messenger. I have doubted myself and this mission because of my own weaknesses. But this blurry pastor reaffirmed all the demands from God to use my talents, as they are. The take home message that I received today was that Jesus has chosen us as His sacred bride. We should be eager in preparation for whenever this final promise is fulfilled, mortal death or not. We should be cleaning up our actions, not for fear of judgment, but because of eager anticipation of truly achieving enlightenment to the glory of God. This pastor calls for you to become a firebrand. I am going to give it a more consistent try. Let’s see where this goes.
