The Greatest Phenomenon...This might surprise you!
S.M. Lockridge could really preach it! I'm such a white boy! When I lived in New York I had the privilege of listening to guys like this a lot. Unfortunately out here in the westside of P-town there's not many brothers preach'n like this.
What's cool about this video is that it got me thinking about Jesus in a new way. Well, kind of an old-new way. I can remember the first few months of being born-again. It was like Jesus was walking right beside me. I was so aware of His presence. I was so unimpressed with myself and hung on every word I read in His love letter...the book of books. But now...many miles down the road, 2 1/2 kids, wife, non-profit, busy life...how often do I just sit and think about Him? How often do I just admire how incredible He is. He is! He is alive and working. He is alive and loving me. He is creating the future...if I will follow. He is tapping on my shoulder reminding me that He is still here! That He still knows everything, is everywhere, has much more in store for me than I can even imagine (Eph 3:20-21). He is! He is.... what comes to mind? Can you go off on Him like this video out of personal experience? Or do we just know what you've heard about Him from others? If I have forgotten and become silent of both words and joy from Him, who in my world is that much further removed from the author of life? Let's remember, let's discover, let's give in to Him and see where a renewed surrender to His presence takes us!
When He is recognized as being with us, being present, being our everything in the moment...windows up upwards to God, outwards to others and downward to those who are most in need around us....because we become aware of what He sees and knows that are impossible for us to know. We become an extension of Him. And that's when we start living life one hundredfold!
