Christ Must Reorient You

You're listening to the Experiencing God Day-by-day podcast brought to you by Black

and Me Ministries International.

March 13th, Christ must reorient you.

Mark 1 verses 19 and 20.

Following on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee and his brother John.

They were in their boat, mending their nets.

Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired

man and followed him.

We have a natural tendency to find our comfort zone, and then position ourselves firmly

in place.

If you are in a situation or lifestyle where you are perfectly capable of handling everything,

you have stopped growing in your understanding of God.

God's desire is to take you from where you are to where he wants you to be.

You will always be one step of obedience away from the next truth God wants you to learn

about Him.

You may experience a restlessness whereby you sense that there is far more you should

be learning and experiencing about the Father.

At times this will mean that you should move to a new location or take a new job.

You could indicate that you need a deeper dimension added to your prayer life.

Perhaps you need to trust God to a degree you never have before.

The fishermen could not remain in their fishing boats and become apostles of Jesus Christ.

Abraham was 75 years old when God gave him his major life assignment.

These men had to disrupt their comfortable routine in order to reach new heights in their

relationship with their Lord.

Likewise, in order to experience God to the degree he wants you to, there will be adjustments

he will ask of you.

Are you prepared for Christ to reveal himself to you in dimensions that will change your

life?

Are you willing to abandon that which makes you comfortable?
