Becoming Clutch


God's heartbeat is getting faster and faster. He is calling forth a generation to rise from the ashes of the old and step into the glory of the new. When a heart beats faster it is usually acquainted with adrenaline rushing through it. When I think of the word adrenaline I immediately think of sports. I think of the fourth quarter and your tied with 7 seconds left. This is when the clutch player steps onto the playing field and wins the game for you whether it be a touchdown, 3 point shot or what not. these are the people who understand adrenaline and know how to harness it. God is calling forth the people to hear His heart beat to understand the time is Now. He needs people who can step up in the clutch and deliver the game for Him and not people who collapse under pressure. We all must become adrenaline junkies, people who so thrive for intensity, 
action, thrills and life changing experiences. If we become adrenaline junkies for God, He will rock our world, flip them and turn them upside down. Now take a moment and sit right there and I'll tell you about how i became the fresh prince....sorry got caught up there in a theme song. Back on point God is calling us to be in tune with His heartbeat to understand the situation that we're presented with and do something with it. We must praise Him through the storms. Praise Him when it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Also praise Him in the good times, not only the bad. A man who loses his leg in a war and gets a prosthetic leg has a tough choice. Will he waste away his life with excuses or will he do something with it? That is why we have the paralympics. We must go full heartily after God no matter what. We must be junkies for His presence. We must long after His glory. We must step up in whatever way we can whether it be serving in the kitchen or ministering to the thousands. Do not be afraid or fall under pressure. Step up and be the clutch player you were created to be. God says in the Bible that man is created in His image and it says in John 14:12 that we will perform even more miraculous works than Jesus did. God has a destiny and a purpose built up in each one of us. It is through trials and tribulations where we find out our strength. Once we find out that God is the rock on which we stand, that the Word is our double edged sword and that His truth girds our waist, we can then accomplish anything we put our minds too. We must put a rift in this world like never seen before; our goal shouldn't be just winning souls but showing God's love. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son"....that is the love we must show. Body of Christ you have a reason your here.  You are CLUTCH! Your time is coming and now is not the time to quit. He knows the plans that have been set before you. At times I wonder what my destiny is, what my purpose is, why can I not be preaching in front of people. Yet I understand that in this season I am being built up and trained for what will come before me in the future. A middle school football player doesn't immediately jump into the NFL...no, his body is built up and trained for the rigorous beatings and fights it will face. The competition only gets tougher as you reach different glories with God. Do not question where your at because you are there for a reason so do something with what you have.


God loves each and every one of you. His heart beats and longs for you to grow in intimacy with Him; to be 
adrenaline junkies for His Spirit. Do not grow weary says the Lord, your time will come. Grow in faith, grow in strength. Pursue Him with all you have and He will reward you with all He has. The Lord says "I love you my children you are precious and holy in My sight. Your rewards will come so remain diligent". He will reward those who sacrifice themselves for their callings. Who will abandon their flesh and divulge themselves into the Spirit. God's heartbeat is growing faster. The time of His coming is growing closer with every second. This generation must be reached. They must know Him and His love. Go and be bold, be courageous, and let your lion roar. There is no need to fear because the Lord is with you wherever you go. Arise when your name is called to enter the game and go 100% without any regrets. I love every one of you with all my heart.


 I pray that through this blog that God just reaches out and grabs a hold of your heart. That you begin to have visions and dreams of Him. That when you read His holy word, you see it and gain an insight of it like never before. God bless!
