I Won't Stop, Inspired by Canton Jones

Well, once again it's been a minute since I wrote a blog but as always I wait until I know I have revelation on a topic before I write. I was on my way home tonight from working out and I started to think about some things after having a talk with God. Now, all the while I was listening to Canton Jones's cd, Kingdom Business. Then it hit me, I was listening to track 4 and it was like something came over me and the words were so clear... "I Won't Stop". So many times in this Christian walk it gets hard, especially when all the witnessing, blessing, praying and sharing of God and Jesus Christ is seemingly not being accepted. Sometimes it seems like the more you put out, the more it's being ignored. Likewise, something maybe revealed to you that you just feel everyone should automatically get. However, I began to think about something that my Shepherd, Bishop Jim Lowe has explained, and that's basically that you will understand things in your Christian walk line upon line, and precept upon precept. As long as we live we will continue to grow in God. You will never get "it all". Also, I think about something that I've learned in pre-marital counselling from one of the other leaders at my church, Pastor Lawrence Conaway, and that is you can not automatically expect others to be on the same level you are in life.

So in understanding these things, I resolve to not stop! Even if everyone doesn't get it or openly accept it when I put it out there, I won't stop! Even when the 'haters' come out in full force, I won't stop! Even when the nay-sayers speak negativity in my life, I won't stop! Even if my friends turn their back against me, I won't stop! Even when they lie on me, I won't stop! Even if I lose the things that I feel are most important to me, I won't stop! Even when I'm not feeling the best, I won't stop! Even when everything in me says otherwise, I won't stop! Even if only one person gets the message, I won't stop! No matter what happens, I won't stop!

Today was Father's Day, and I must be about my Heavenly Father's business! Matthew 28:18-20 is the business of my Father, and that is what I have to do. God has been too good to me, and I have been through too much for me to keep my mouth closed about certain things when He has brought me through it. All I want we as Christians to do is wake up! If there was never a time for us to get busy drawing souls to the Kingdom, it is NOW!

As always, I pray that God blesses each and everyone who will read this. I pray his blessings in your life spiritually, mentally, socially, physically and financially! I pray more of God's Holy Spirit in your life! Likewise, keep me in your prayers!
