21 Days of Dangerous Prayers

​We started our 21 Days of Dangerous Prayers challenge on Sunday, August 6.

"Here I am."

This was the response of Moses when God called him out from the burning bush.

A divine moment of surrender.

I can recount two significant times of reluctantly saying, "Here I am!"

One, was when I was called to the ministry 25 years ago.  I was young, naive and unsure of myself, but I said, "Here I am!"  I didn't even know the power of those words, but they proved to be permission for the Lord to send me on a great adventure, much like He did Moses when he uttered those words.

Second, was in 2014 when I was frustrated in ministry.  We had been faithfully ministering in our mobile home communities and I was frustrated that no one recognized what we were doing and we weren't getting any support (please don't make this same mistake I did.)

Very clearly, I can remember the Lord impressing on my heart, "Mike, I did not call them.  I called you.  Is your ALL on the table.

And at that moment, I remember saying, "Here I am."

Since then, I cannot believe the adventure He has had me on.  I had no idea what these three words would unlock.  It was simply blind obedience.

I doubt if Moses knew the trajectory of his life after uttering those words.  I know I didn't.  If I could encourage you, especially if you are living a ho-hum Christianity, allow the Lord to examine your heart, soul, and mind.  After reflection and prayer, simply utter those three life-changing words and see what the Lord does.

​Mike
