Let's be honest, how many times do we go through each day doing the same thing, praying the same prayers, working on the same issues we had a year ago?
So I see this song title called "refuse to be denied," and I just have to listen to it. It's about going after God with everything we have and refusing to be denied.
You see, sometimes I get so comfortable in my "christian walk" that I forget there's more. Jesus talks about some pretty amazing things in the Bible, AND He says that after He's gone, we will see even greater works here on earth. Um...so where are these things? Well, where have we looked? Do we ask God to see these great things, or do we just continue on with whatever knowledge we have already obtained about Jesus?
I realized something the other day. In a year or two, I will be in the same place I am today if I don't take a step and do something. I cannot be satisfied with what I have. I need more of Jesus. I want to get in His face, and tell Him I want more of Him and that I refuse to be denied!
All this requires something of me though. Sometimes for breakthrough to happen, I have to be willing to give things up or to do things I normally wouldn't. Maybe it's praying or reading the Bible more. Maybe it's giving up a tv show that doesn't help me. Maybe it's watching the way I speak. Maybe it's spending more time with Him and less time doing nothing...or everything. Whatever it is, I know that once breakthrough happens, I will wonder why I didn't do..or not do..that thing sooner.
So it comes down to this: Will I casually keep walking through life comfortable with where I am, or will I be someone who refuses to be denied?
