Have you asked God for something & it seems like He's never going to allow it to happen?

Beth & I have been believing God for some very detailed and specific things to take place in our lives and our ministry and recently spent several days fasting and praying over these things.  At the beginning of each year, we do the Annual 21 Day Fast with our NJC fam, but this was different.  An urgency to see God move drove us to our knees and we began to cry out to Him!  As we sought His face for wisdom and direction, we asked Him to let it happen,  let it happen Lord!  He spoke ever so clearly to me and gave me a mandate for our ministry.  God said, 'Make It Happen!'  An overwhelming excitement flooded our hearts as He began to drop idea after idea in our Spirits!  As a new Church plant in the Greensboro area, we don't want to be just another church!  We want to reach our City for Jesus Christ by showing them His love in every single thing that we do!  There are numerous lost, hurting & lonely people right here in the Triad and we must share the good news of the Gospel with them!  Jesus told us in Luke 14:23, '‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled." God expects US to get busy for Him and work while there is still time!  He isn't going to just drop it in our laps. We must MAKE IT HAPPEN and that's exactly what we are going to do! 

What have you been asking God to do in your life?  Are there specific things you have asked Him for that haven't come to pass yet?  Well, hold on because He promises us in Galatians 6:9, "Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up!"  Sometimes it seems that it would just be easier to give up than to keep waiting and waiting.  Maybe God is waiting on YOU.  Maybe He is waiting for you to get so desperate for an answer that you push away from the table and fast and pray like you never have before!  Maybe He is just waiting to see if you will Make it Happen!

Great motivation to get up and get busy! As Josh Wilson's song says, "Cause
I don't want to live like I don't care. I don't wanna say another empty prayer. Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else to do what God has called me to do myself. Oh, I could choose not to move but I REFUSE!"

What an honor to be alive.."for such a time is this". God has called a small group together, and He is gonna breathe on that group. We will "Make It Happen", but HE first, must make it happen. NJC,are God's humble servants,just doing all we can to bring honor and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ

What an honor to be surrounded by Gods people, were so excited to be a part of it and see what God is doing in all our lives. Without him we can do nothing and with him all things are possible, we have to go the extra mile (including me) and watch the promises of our Lord & Savoir answer ALL are prayers.
