Boy do I ever need Jesus.
.
That . . .
Here's some stuff I have been meditating on.
God doesn’t want us to “tip toe thru the tulips”, he wants us to charge up the mountain.
He doesn’t want us to “tap, tap, tap” on the window of His throne room, he wants us to storm the gates.
He doesn’t want us to “dangle our toes in the water” he wants us to cannonball right into the middle of his river of power, mercy and grace.
He wants us to be HOT.
The fervent prayers of righteous men and women availeth much.
I’m in.

This is That . . .
Matthew 11:12
Some translations portray "violence" in a good way.
New International Version
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
The Amplified
12And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize. [a]share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].
World Wide English Bible
12From the time of John until now, people try hard to break into the kingdom of heaven. And strong people take hold of it.

Some translations portray "violence" in a bad way.
The Message
For a long time now people have tried to force themselves into God's kingdom.
Living Bible
12 And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing,[a] and violent people are attacking it.

In my mind, not being what the Bible calls "violent" in this season would involve tip toeing, tapping, and dangling.
