Weekly Online Devotional : Engaging Eternity by Marlon Hall
Engagement is a parable for entering eternal life. It is a space in the soul where "what is" meets "what ain't". Where who you "are," is instantly connected to who you "are becoming." So, when you ask God if you may have His hand in holy movement, He desires who you are now and who you are becoming. To engage the bridge between our physical world of boundaries and his boundless world of eternity, God dares to ask for what we can't afford to give Him and who we aren't in that moment of engagement. It is not some enlightenment or resource we wait to have, to give. We must give Him what we have and what we don't have now.
Jesus offered eternal life to a young man who was waiting to bury his father. Burying a parent in this cultural context was more than just crying and putting an old black suit in the cleaners. It was a cross-generational exchange of real estate, rights, and even manhood. In letting his father go at the funeral, he was also gaining his father’s lineage and life to build upon and continue the family heritage. What Jesus asked the man to do was no simple task because his very manhood was at stake. "So the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."" Luke 9:59-62
Come on now... the dude had not even gotten one cuff link, watch, or even an inch of land and Jesus asks for everything at that point? Jesus was asking him to be a man of eternal vision before he was even a man. How could Jesus ask him to give a life that he did not even have yet? This is what Jesus asks of all of us. He asks us to give dreams that are not realized, womanhood that is not fully developed, and money that we can not afford so that we may engage that space where what we have meets what we don’t have and where who we are meets who we are becoming. Will you give the life you don’t have today to engage a life that never ends?
Read Luke 9:59-62 and answer the following questions.
1. Are you in the position to give God what you do not have?
2. Do you believe that you are one step away from bridging the divide between where you are and where you are going?
3. What decision can you make today to follow Jesus and sacrifice what you don’t have to do it?
Now pray the following prayer that helps us engage eternity:
God, Prayer is not overcoming your reluctance; it is laying hold of your highest willingness, and we desire to follow you where your best willingness leads us. Forgive us for waiting to become something to give you everything and give us the courage to give what we do not have to gain what we can’t lose. We are not where we long to be, but give us the imagination to believe that when we give ourselves to you through our daily decisions, who we are becoming becomes one with who we are. (If you feel God pulling you, then continue the prayer in your own words)
Ripple Effect vol. 3: Facing Our Fears
We must go on a journey that includes recognizing the sound of change, discovering what our faces are for as we then turn to know our fears, face our fears and with God's love, power and truth, run toward them to dispel the lies that inflate them into imaginary monsters.
For the next few weeks, we will take the most risky steps we ever have into places in our hearts and minds that we have fought vigorously to outrun, choosing to abandon frail hopes that what we fear will disappear eventually and choosing instead to believe that what we fill find is a pathway that leads to our dreams, a more intimate relationship with our Creator, and the life He dreamed for us to live. This will NOT be easy, but it WILL be life-changing. Join us if you dare...

The Trouble with Belief by Epiphany
While waiting on God to clarify himself, I looked up and it was all gone. So here I am reading John 3 and thinking about what it takes to live eternally. I could be like Nicodemus, who was a believer only because he saw Jesus' great miracles...not really grasping the real concepts of belief and only thinking I have something to believe in when I see the physical manifestations. Or I could be like John the Baptist, who was not rich or powerful, but firmly stood on the idea that, "Anyone who accepts His (Jesus') testimony...can have eternal life."
So often I am stuck in my own rut believing that because I don't see any good in my life at the moment then something has gone terribly wrong. But John 3 shows that eternal life, the only one that matters, is not based on what you can wrap your hands or mind around, its on the impossible, the unbelievable, the highly unlikely and improbable...A man can be sent from Heaven, be born of a virgin, die, and three days later get up and be lifted back into the skies so that I never have to feel alone, unloved, or unworthy. I believe this, so therefore I must know that a woman, or man, can lose a job, a house, a loved one and remain faithful to their destiny as a child of the Most High God in Heaven and BELIEVE that there is a place in eternity for them.
So, okay, yeah...I don't have anything right now, but I've got everything forever.
I'm A Believer!!!!!
God,
Thank you for an opportunity to live another day in the glory that is the earth created for me. Thank you that no weapon formed against my mind, family, home or friends will prosper. Thank you for that peace that will continue to re ssure me of my destiny here in this life and lead me to an eternity hereafter...I love You, and I am sorry.
Selah,
Epiphany
