Revolutionize LOL

The earth beats a hypnotic rhythm that lulls its habitants into a trance of dissociation from the real.   With each beat of the electronica of the world, humanity participates in a rave dance of distraction from the artist who pumps the pulse of creation.  Lost in a daze of fleshly ecstasy that neither pill nor sensation can appease, we choose to wave our metaphorical glow sticks in a performance that fades more quickly than the vapors of a morning fog.  And when the beat ceases and the sounds fade, humanity looks to its left and its right and recalls that the rave was only designed to distract us from the real.  We must all return home to our lives, our responsibilities, our fears, our unmet desires and our thirst for an unknown drink that we cannot seem to find.

All of earth exists to lull us into mediocrity.  The enemy of our Heavenly Father plays a hypnotic tune that draws our hearts into complacency.  Elimination of the Kingdom is not the goal of the forces of darkness.  No, ineffectiveness is the target.  To destroy the Kingdom of God is a goal the enemy cannot accomplish.  He has tried this before and has failed miserably.  He now sings his lullaby of self sufficiency and dissatisfaction to believers throughout the world to distract us just enough to cause us to question the legitimacy of faith and risk.  He has taught us words like “safety” and “comfort.” He permeates our thoughts with seemingly Biblical ideas of “guarding our hearts” and “denying ourselves” in an effort to ensure that we never fulfill the calling that God places upon each of our lives.   Our spirits are paralyzed.  We have been told too often to “wait upon the Lord” and have neglected the scriptures and parables that teach us that we must prepare for the harvest before the rain arrives, that faith without action is dead.

We have turned our gaze to the strobe lights and supposedly exciting beats of the earth, which prohibit us from finding the genuine light and perfect excitement of living out the fullness of our callings.  We must end the trance, leave the earthly matrix of spiritual inefficacy and monotony.  Fullness of life is not found in achieving the status quo.  We must redefine the standards by which we judge our success and find that in the midst of comfort and pleasure that God may actually call us into a realm of uncertainty and sheer vulnerability.    We must “LOL” in a very different way than we have been doing.  We must revolutionize LOL.  We must not only be “laughing out loud,” but we must be “living out loud.”

We can drastically alter the course of our futures by murdering the idea that we must continue in the way of the generation before us, but that we can be the one who through the authority and power of a God who is living out loud to end our generational curses and say enough is enough.  We have accepted that because we are created we cannot too create.  Yet, we are made like God and in His image because we can create just like He has throughout eternity.  We can create opportunities and life change by living out loud, living out the callings that God has placed on our hearts and souls with a fearless passion that confuses even the holiest of men.

I believe we can change the world. True story.
