Here is what I believe we need to do in this season. I am taking my own advice here.
1. Consecrate ourselves. Search our hearts and ask the Lord (His Holy Spirit) if there are any areas we need to change in our lives and repent of.
2. Stop allowing distractions to consume us. We can’t run to people to get daily words. We need to hear from God ourselves and seek His face. We must have an active prayer life. “My sheep hear my voice”.
3. Humble ourselves. The pride in the church has gotten out of control. When/if we consecrate, it should immediately humble us as we get rid of unnecessary flesh, vain imaginations, and ungodly desires.
4. Stop comparing. Each of our callings is different and unique. Seek to please God. Do what is right in His eyes and walk worthy of the calling. This will grant His favor and anointing.
5. Stop making idols. There should not be any “jockeying” or desire to be part of a “cool crowd”. We can definitely have mentors, elders, friends, key alignments, and people we look up to in the ministry, but this doesn’t mean we pledge our allegiance to men over God.
6. Get away from sin. Come out from among the world (Babylon) system and live in a way that is set apart and reflects our faith. Raise our children in the ways of the Lord and teach them His Word. Close open doors.
7. Know the Bible. This is the roadmap. Hide it in your heart. This is how we get our faith.
8. Make disciples. Be about the great commission. Be a soul winner. This is the main thing.
9. Do what is right. Don’t fleece the Saints, don’t sell gimmicks and marketing strategies. Be real. Be authentic.
10. Repent. Live a lifestyle of repentance. Be a person who is after God's heart.
11. Be a “pure stream”. Stop trying to fit in with others who are not in the same mindset. God is looking for people who are willing to get rid of the “leaven”. What fellowship does light have with darkness?
12. Don’t compromise. We will never have to compromise to get to our calling.
13. Cry out to God. Pray for this nation and the church. Get involved when God says to do so. Be active in the community. Faith without works (action) is dead. Christians need to occupy and go out. We can’t leave vacuums in areas like politics and others where the church historically hasn’t been engaged.
14. Go deeper. Get on fire for God. Stay on fire for God.
15. Get out of the rat race. It’s unhealthy and won’t get you anywhere anyways. It will only cause unneeded stress and warfare.
