Last weekend close friends, brothers, sisters and myself traveled to the southern land of Texas. We were on a mission of showing Christ to others. Making Him known through the ministry of Pure Rebellion.
Lives were ministered to, hearts broken and rebuilt, souls rescued, Jesus glorified.
It was hard for me to realize that we were actually going to TX with this ministry and that the Lord had allowed me to be part of it. So many times I said, "I can't believe we're in Texas..." It was just mindblowing being there. But mindblowing describes what the Lord did both nights.
We were pumped to launch Pure Rebellion at Grace Church. The crowd didn't blow us away though. No, it wasn't a full house. Expectations drained, we just prayed that Jesus would still work on those who came. And He did. Even more, He reminded us that if (for example) I would have been the only one left on the earth, He still would have died, just for me, to save me from eternal misery. In other words, one soul makes everything the matter. One soul makes all the difference. And what a humbling and love-filled truth. If only one soul was saved in Amarillo, TX, all the heavens rejoiced.
But seeing a crowd of kids, teenagers, young adults and adults at the altar, on their knees, broken, weeping, reaching out for Jesus... exceeded our expectations.
"I will do a mighty work tonight," the Lord told me. And it broke me in the most refreshing way.
Coming to find out that for Grace Church, Pure Rebellion was such an immense blessing that has renewed lives confirmed that the work that the Lord had sent us to do was accomplished. It was a new beginning. One in which seeds were planted by Jesus, watered by Jesus, and will come to have fruit because of Jesus.
For Jesus.
By Jesus.
