Live Your Passion

I was recently asked on an application about what is my passion. Great question!
Here was my answer:
The thing I am most passionate about is seeing justice released in the Earth, for it is the very foundation of His throne, His rule. It is the foundation of the government of Heaven. One of the Greek words for justice is mishpat, which essentially means the rule of Heaven in the Earth. The standard of what is in Heaven belongs on the Earth and Jesus came back to restore this and commission His sons and daughters to do the same. We are to restore justice wherever we see injustice happening throughout the world. Whether that injustice takes the form of sickness in someone’s body, educational systems failing large segments of the population or even the refusal to educate girls because of their gender, laws that by nature are oppressive, people dying from water-born diseases, women being oppressed simply because people have misinterpreted their religions, or children being abused and misused for someone else’s gain and pleasure. It is our mandate to see all of these kinds of issues and so many more align with the Father’s heart and what is in Heaven.

My passion is to go to the hardest and most difficult places and situations and watch the Kingdom win! I have a passion to rescue women and children out of the sex trade. Nothing gets me more passionate and worked up than when I see the enemy terrorizing the very core and soul of people who are not in a position to defend themselves. It is my passion to see these women and children educated and empowered to live an abundant life and to see them bring Kingdom change to the world around them in their own communities. This might be the issue that I am most passionate about and moves me more deeply in my soul than almost anything else, but my passion is to see the fullness of the Kingdom released into all spheres of influence in every community and nation.

Whenever I have had the opportunity to work in a community or another country it is my deepest passion and desire to work with the key authority figures over the area and those who are being marginalized and oppressed. At one time Papa told me this was the High/Low approach. Both ends of the spectrum in a community or country need to be simultaneously “attacked” by the Kingdom. Father’s heart is always drawn to those who are being oppressed but often the quickest way to change a community and nation is if we can Kingdomize the people in leadership, in authority, and the ones making laws and standards that affect the community at large. The Father reached out to the poor and the broken while also challenging and influencing the established authority governing over people.

I am making a move to step into the fullness of my destiny to live out my passion. Words can not express how excited I am.
