A Scared World Needs A Fearless Church — Jeremy Johnson

Without vision people perish, which means they expire living hopeless lives and many times they end up waiting around dead things expecting it to give them life. Religion is man made and as we go through the motions we might become dry in our faith but as a river of living water Jesus will bring life wherever He shows up. Let's not be like the people surrounded at the pool waiting for an angel to save them when the one who carries healing we desire,, is in the room waiting to encounter us. We can be people that hear about Jesus but because our eyes are so focused on breakthrough we miss who is right in front of us.

When Jesus enters the room:
1) He immediately sees what we need
2) He frees us so that we can free others
3) He sees past our brokenness, Jesus sees revival in us

Jesus healing one man in locked revival in everyone else around him. God chooses us because He wants to "empty the pool through our testimony." As salt and light of this world we are meant to enhance the lives of those around us. If we lose our saltiness we will not be able to produce fruit! The value of salt is that it carries itself as a pure element. We don't want to tarnish the purity of our Spirits by allowing our Spirits to mix itself with other things. As we have our hearts open we will release control and trust that whatever God wants is where we will go.
