Basileia 2011 : The Aftermath

"The vitality of any movement is measured by it's momentum"

coming back from Basileia not too long ago and hearing this the other day got me thinkin....

i've been to many retreats, revivals, conferences, getaways, missions trips, etc... and the warning after any spiritual retreat is to rely on it's euphoric sensation of a spiritual high to maintain your spiritual walk with God.

i've been on enough routine "retreats" to callously say they've become ineffective.

but i can also say the same about my life outside of these retreats, "routine"... purposeless & simplistic... no joy.

or i can look @ it in a Christlike perspective....

the opportunity to spend countless hours w God in prayer and desire to hear His voice did not come void.

the day i came back from Basi was the day i came back w a fresh perspective and fresh commitments...

i understand so many empty & broken promises have been made on my part... and so i asked God for something bigger than my problems.. and my expectations that ill come out of this with a clean slate or w all my problems fixed or a "holier than thou" mentality/facade....

i asked God to give me more faith... to help me w my unbelief.

a simple yet dense truth that every struggling believer may lack.... faith.

as Hebrews 11:6 says, "without faith, it is impossible to please God."

so here i stand, with arms high and heart abandoned...

i lift my hands to believe again... in surrender.
