Eldredge

Agree with Eldredge or not?

[thanks for pointing out this video - AC180]

It’s the end scene from Braveheart. I was at a conference where John Eldredge was speaking and he described this scene as the most accurate portrayle of Christ’s death (both symbolically and physically). He was beaten, broken, taunted and defamed, but it was all for one purpose. ”Freedom” says it all.

And the scene that follows the death. Men with the heart and charge of their leader, changed forever and giving it all in a fight. Freedom was given to us by Christ, but it’s our fight to claim it and keep it.

Thank you Lord today for your gift of freedom! 

I received a email for prayer from John Eldredge the other day [no, we're not tight buddies - I've only met him once. It was a form email to those who have been to a Wild at Heart retreat and said they would pray for the ministry]. It was really interesting and I wanted to share part of it with you.

“Yesterday was the feast of Epiphany, the date traditionally set aside to commemorate the Magi arriving to bring their gifts and pay homage to Jesus Christ. Epiphany means revelation, beholding, “O, now I get it!” An “ah-ha!” moment. We need a lot of those, living in the Matrix as we do. Moments of clarity where God shines through again. I pray that he reveals more of himself to you, even this week.”

Ever had one of those weeks, when your head is in a fog? You have no clarity and can’t see God anywhere in your lives? You’ve turned into a drone robot and are just making it by? You just plod by; hour by hour?

Let us not forget who we are! We are sons and daughters of the living God. Heirs to the Kingdom, given a task. Take the charge and run with it. Take your identity back from the enemy! You are not meant for this drudgery! Wake up, God is waiting to be found. He isn’t elusive, he wants to be revealed. It is only the enemy that hides the Glory from us. Wake up, take a breath, and let the color bleed back into your souls.
